Hi techrdan - can you lighten up on the insults. I'm really trying to discuss a topic with a teeny, tiny Overton window and I don't deserve you continued efforts to caricature me as a racist. > Then how could the system…
s/1990/1992/ - thanks. Of course a hell of a lot of people supported it - most of them now long dead. [This mandatory prelude is so tedious] However, as I have shown, clearly not enough that the ruling National Party…
Not only that, but the National Party were so rabid that in 1948 D.F Malan - their new prime minister - proposed in an actual parliament speech to deprive white English-speaking citizens of the vote. God alone knows how…

The dogy bit is knowing that a large institutional order is coming.
The uses of advanced laser networking kit is to to gain an advantage in front-running. Which is to say, to get your brokerage's orders in ahead of a large institutional order. IOW: Legally-sanitised insider trading.
