    Not the point. Most claim their W10 boots in 6 seconds or so. Why should mine be much longer...unless there is something wrong? And if so, I'd like to fix it.

    How technical do you think Warren Buffett & some of the other Wall Street legends are?

    UK's Socialized Healthcare (NHS) Satisfaction Hits An 11-Year Low

    "... The National Health Services, the United Kingdom’s socialized “Medicare for all” government-run single-payer healthcare is not faring too well. The satisfaction rate is now at an 11-year low as people die waiting days for care in corridors and those wait times reach historically high...

    Bugatti unveils world's most expensive car with £14million price tag

    Some rich ETer better snatch this up QUICK! Just yesterday, the price was quoted @ $12MM. Today, $18MM. That's even better than Chinese stocks! (Pitty all those fools who paid $3.5MM for a Chiron.. thought they had something "special".) :)

    Democrats Vote To Give Illegal Immigrants The Right To Vote

    "... using carefully chosen words in what appears an attempt to hide the truth, House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi admitted this week at a news conference on voting rights with Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) in Austin, Texas on Tuesday, that Democrats want illegal immigrants to be able to come into...

    Not mine. I abandoned spinner drives years ago. I tried the spinner that came with the computer... it takes nearly 3 minutes to boot. As I look for solutions online, I see many who claim boot times like yours and many others who are around 1 minute even with SSDs. I don't know why the diff...

    ECB Unleashes Support Package for Economy Threatened by Slowdown

    Bad news is good news! The worse the economy looks, the more market players will anticipate the Fed resuming their pumping, NIRP. Just like the Metallica song, "Nothing Else Matters". TO THE MOON!! (Who knew the Fed could be a rocket?)

    Abrams calls for Democrats to embrace "identity politics"

    I'm thinking the Dems will try to figure out which candidate is "most popular" and will pull the most votes (issues don't matter)... could be some jackass like Beto or even AOC if she were eligible. Once they "get the power", they can implement any agenda they want. (That will probably work as...

    I've recently started messing with W10 and have delayed "versions" for 150 days and updates for 30 days, the max allowed. Hopefully that will be enough time for them to figure out their messes, pull any borked update and fix it before it gets installed on my rig. Also, not a fan of the slow...

    Abrams calls for Democrats to embrace "identity politics"

    Aren't the Dems already all about "identity"? Seems they vote who they are... candidate only matters if they sign on to the voter's identity. "Country" doesn't matter at all. :(

    Brokerage capable of linking cash and inherited IRA accounts? (IB can't)

    I guess it would depend upon the age of the beneficiary. If you inherited and wanted to take some out... isn't there's a required distribution schedule?. I suppose you could take that amount without paying premature distribution tax if under 59 1/2. (If beneficiary took out more than the...

    Brokerage capable of linking cash and inherited IRA accounts? (IB can't)

    Is there a benefit to maintaining an inherited IRA as a separate entity? Is there a penalty for just transferring the inherited balance into one's personal IRA??

    AOC faces 5 years in prison for FEC crimes

    Something for the new AG to get started on (while I'm holding my breath).
