This link (http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35407) has very good systematic instructions for "cleaning" your systems, as well as prevention of future problems. The main points of interest are that the best anti-Spyware/anti-virus removal tools are SuperAntiSpyware and...

I was playing poker the other night and talked to a woman who is currently working for the census - she said that the supervisors were actually verbally instructing them on basically to work very slow and "take as long as possible doing the job", because once you're done, the job ends. In...

It's been just over a year since the "Obama-nation" numbnut came into power, and already we have increased the national debt by so much ( and plenty more baked in with Obamacare ) that from now any "recovery" mode will seem like a recession used to feel, and any downturn will seem like a...

Double Whammy coming..... 1. U.S. Fiscal disaster is now cemented in place. The Health Care bill passing cements the fiscal disaster coming in future years, both preventing us from recovering from the current problems and spending us into disaster when the CBO projections prove...

Mathematically, that may be true in the majority of well-behaved cases, but someone who scales out half and then sees a huge adverse overnight event occur is a lot better off than the guy hanging on to the whole position in search of the higher target. In other words, Scaling out of a...

Not too hard to figure out why this is happening, at least relative to engineering. 'Too few engineers' everybody complains, then when people get the degree and start working, a fake "shortage" is trumpeted loudly every 3-5 years, H1Bs are approved in massive numbers, most engineers...

Once a judgment is awarded, it is only guaranteed to be there for N years, depending on the state (7 or 10 are normal here) then it dies unless the owner of the judgment pays money and refiles to renew it. It is also completely up to the holder of the judgment to pursue collection on it...

I am not sure I would believe it just yet. A lot of places were on Spring Break recently including last week and the traffic patterns are altered significantly as more people to go on trips, work from home, etc more than in a normal week. On the other hand, I recently went to one of the...

That's the present day equivalent of "a chicken in every pot". We may find out soon whether FDR really did anything other than prolong the pain in the 30's since his current disciple is leading us down the same path to ruin only on steroids this time....

Sure it is a tradeable idea. Buy a straddle, hold to expiration and I guarantee the stock will get pinned to the middle of it every time... lol. I only noticed the "pinning effect" when it was negative towards my position, like when you are long calls and wanted the stock to shoot up...

Here's another good one MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware and this one is FREE: http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html I used this tool to clean up a friend's computer that was badly infected with numerous viruses and trojans and I was able to get it...

Starting at the default date - they tack on as many fees as they can = Late payments, over limit fees, etc. Next they massively increase the interest rate to the highest rate allowed in the state, usually somewhere north of 30%. Then they start the harassing letters and phone calls to...

This is my favorite (listen to the lyrics closely): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AFb3TUoxfo

I understand this sentiment. I graduated in 1986 with a BS in Computer Engineering. At that time, the degree was hot meaning a decent job at a good income was waiting at graduation, I actually could USE what I studied for, and the college education did not cost a fortune to obtain...

Umm.... the equity markets are CLOSED tomorrow for Good Friday, which means that March puts are effectively worth ZERO except for any INTRINSIC value at today's close. So, what would be the point of buying any such PUTS after today's close????? Basically, you have 5 minutes left of...

I will comment on my personal empirical experiences with getting options orders to fill between Bid and Ask: The only times I have ever gotten ANY orders filled between Bid/Ask (when I became Bid or Ask) was on ISE, and occasionally BOX. In fact, my experience has been that if your order...

I think the main issue here is that if you are really a trader, it is part of your identity, part of what makes you interesting, part of what drives your pursuits, effectively a type of entrepreneurship, more than just a way of making money that you can turn off after 5 PM like some 9-5 jobs...

I run Tradestation on a Dell Inspiron 1720 that I purchased recently. It runs great. I believe that dual-core with >= 2 GB memory should help your issues. I have Windows-XP Pro on it, though, which probably helps out.

That price seems way high to me - at least $500-$600 too much. I got a deal on a Dell Inspiron 1720 about 3 weeks ago with the following specs for < $1750: Even after adding $135 for Windows XP Professional OEM, and some extra for the BlueTooth, it is hard to justify $2900 for the system...

Here's the follow-up for anyone interested in the outcome: I caught a $400 sale on the Dell Inspiron 1720, about 2 weeks ago, ordered it immediately (Midnight Blue color), received it last week, spent the weekend installing Windows XP Professional on it ( successfully ) and my trading apps...
