I have a BlackBerry and they can be unlocked, but you sometimes have to be fairly adamant with the salestaff and if you are going abroad, carry the right direct dial customer service numbers with you. (Obviously if you are from the US, the "800" numbers don't work outside the country). Before a trip last spring, I was told my new BlackBerry would be fine for Europe and it was not.

Troll starts troll story, surprised by troll response Fermion, you start a thread dripping with every troll characteristic that you claim hate ("arrogance, condescension, dogmatic assertions or sophistic argumentation or other attempts at ideological bullying") and then wonder at the response. It's sad, really, because I honestly don't think you intend to be so abrasive. Perhaps, in the interests of capitalism, I should...

It's a very big topic. Briefly, in finance, we are often interested in computing expectations, like f(t,x) = integral p(T,y | t, x) w(y) dy where p( ) is a transition function for a stochastic process and w(y) is a payoff function. I ignore discounting which is often merely a minor change. If the stochastic process is a diffusion, then the PDE satisified by f(t,x) is the ...

Hahaha, this has been a topic of much lively discussion (see NucPhy, Macro Man, Total Derivatives, etc)... It's possible, there is no catch, you're not missing anything, but it's not arbitrage. It's just a strange mispricing. The big question for me is, rather, why... What sort of a signal is being sent here by the HMT?
