One takeover event and you're dead!

I don't really NEED XP Pro, it's just that I hate buying decent high end hardware that ends up wasted on a bloated OS ( ie Vista ). Plus, I would like to avoid compatibility issues (I have lots of old software that I still run), and I am hoping if I can get a good machine now with XP Pro...

I am considering getting a new notebook computer - Dell Inspiron 1720 or Inspiron 1520. All things being equal, I would prefer the 1720 because of the bigger screen, except that I want to get it running Windows XP, and it seems that Dell does not support that option for the 1720. There...

The problem here is that real estate markets have not adjusted enough to bring things to attractive, affordable levels. After the biggest housing bubble in history with 100-300% appreciation from 1999-2005, a little 10-20% correction is not going to do the job. Things would need to drop...

Um, no.....not a good idea. This always seems like a great plan until you realize what the definition of "well-to-do" and "middle class" becomes after you implement it. Most people in their minds think "well-to-do" is somebody making >= $500,000 a year, and middle class extends from say...

You are using this order type incorrectly. For an If-Touched order, you would enter an If Touched Price UNDER the current market for a BUY, or ABOVE the current market for a SELL. The idea is if the market drops down and touches a certain price, then I want to Buy at my Limit, or if the...

Warning, Will Robinson.... The Red Light is flashing.....Lock up your wallet and credit cards SPAM will be forthcoming within about 2-3 messages by someone with <= 10 posts total talking about how they are making great money with one of the following: ( Wizetrade, 4XMadeEasy, GoGecko, some...

Not sure about how best to profit, but I can tell you from experience writing and implementing software in the industry - don't fall for any hype about investing in companies (especially independent software companies) that want to help "modernize and improve" the infrastructure. The power...

I have seen a lot on both sides of this issue. 1. Make sure you have a detailed functional description of what the project actually involves. Without someone with software engineering experience being involved in that functional description process itself, you stand little chance of...

As mentioned, this will get you in major trouble if anyone finds out about it. Not to mention that most IT departments worth a damn will have all of these methods blocked off by the firewall anyways - yes that includes GoToMyPC and all the other 'tunneling' type sites. Best option, trade...

So, in this case you "see" the coin :)

This sounds a lot like spyware or some kind of virus. Go to http://www.majorgeeks.com, look under anti-spyware for SuperAntiSpyware, then install it, and do a full scan - I have found that it cleans a lot of stuff that SpyBot and Ad-Aware miss. Or maybe you're running Vista? :) If that...

That was the successful operative strategy about 5 years ago, but I think the days of low and no money down are over for a while now.... Renting it out for at least the mortgage payment requires rational pricing, not bubble-priced markets. Unless you are living in the midwest somewhere...

You forgot - "lost my ass repeatedly, but claim to be making money in polls like this to maintain an illusion of dignity" :D

Reality check dude - My brother is a cop with about 12 years experience in a small rural town (population 12,000) in northern Illinois. During this time, he has been shot at more than once, been involved in several high speed chases at > 80 mph through town, personally saved with CPR an...

Definitely go with XP Professional - Vista is just not ready for primetime - there are countless non-supported things, driver issues, needless slowdown of your machine CPU for useless "checking" for illegal stuff, incredible resource waste of memory and CPU cycles compared to XP Pro for no real...

Because it stopped going down.....

They start those threads after they have already bought, so they can cheerlead the position. If we don't close down today, you will see a lot of "100% up room to go" type posts at the end of the day.

Or another way to look at it.... Would you pay $3K for a software program that calculates an exponential moving average/MACD type look-alike indicator ( which is standard on any other software at no added cost, and can even be done for FREE on the web ) and then adds the additional "feature"...

What was her name...? :D Just kidding....
