    paranoid ? or is Google tracking me - and you ?

    I agree - Google recording the Mac address of wireless networks does seem to be a little too personal. It seems a bit unnecessary and probably not that useful as well. It would only include a limited number of households and would only identify someone who's internet connection is the same...

    paranoid ? or is Google tracking me - and you ?

    Yes, seems a little naive in the year 2010 to be surprised and outraged after discovering cookies are used to track your web browsing (cookies being an integral part of browsers for 15 years), and that Gmail scans your emails for targeted advertising (highly publised and debated since Gmail's...

    MSFT lots of goodwill on that balance sheet.

    Much of Microsoft's 'goodwill' relates to the fact that over 90% of new computers are sold bundled with Windows. It's going to take something very dramatic to change that over the next 10 years - Dell (currently the world's largest PC retailer) offer a Linux package, but few people choose it.

    4 ports @: 2560x1600 @ 60Hz

    Yep, it's definitely two slots wide, from looking at the picture. It appears to be a re-worked gaming card intended to compete with Nvidia's Quadro FX line for 3D graphics professionals, rather than the Quadro NVS for 2D 'business' applications. I don't think they'll progress far in that...

    I agree. I think if you're going to day trade any one time frame in currencies, the best overall for finding setups would be the 5 min. The criteria for exiting should be consistent with the criteria for entering - both should be based on the 5 min, although better timing can be accomplished...

    Would I have been better off with a single or dual core rather than quad?

    Different apps would use separate instances of the java virtual machine - which should be capable of being run on different cores. Try it out and see I guess - the processes to look for would likely be javaw.exe or java.exe

    Would I have been better off with a single or dual core rather than quad?

    I have noticed that you make this sort of statement quite often, and I'm not sure whether you do mean it literally and are a bit confused on what's happening or mean it figuratively - but in the least I think it may be confusing to those people reading who don't know any better. I just want...

    IncreaseNow's "Sell/Short" Futures Journal

    I would have both open at the same time - but really you could wait for a potential setup on 5 min then switch to 1 min. If you mark the support and resistance on the charts and other areas of interest, you don't need to have one chart fill up the whole screen anyway - so just resize them and...

    You might want to use the 1 min chart to help time your entries. That way you can buy on a retracement rather than at the top of a long bar. It will mean that sometimes you will miss out on a move - but it's very important to not worry about that. You're after high quality setups - don't...

    IncreaseNow's "Sell/Short" Futures Journal

    Well you're going to need to refine your entry criteria a bit better than just 'reasonings', you need rules, particularly if going for 2 pips. As others have pointed out, waiting for confirmation would be better. Also using a 1 min chart rather than 5 min, if you're going for such small movements...

    I can see why you were upset about missing out on the 70 points - it's because there was 'NO way' you were ever going to get them. This is the sort of issue most traders deal with in their first week, if not their first day. You can't expect to short at the very top of a trend and cover at the...

    computer question -- am i being ripped off here?

    If you really are a trader looking for a new PC - the one you linked to is a terrible choice. It's designed entirely for gaming, which is why it contains two high-powered 3d graphics cards. As a trading computer, it's configured all wrong and would use excess power and be very noisy. Trading...

    So I spent 5.5 k on new system, only to have my old system back (beyond mad)

    I agree. When I look at the task manager on my PC running XP, it shows there is around 500 MB of free memory, and the page file is also about 500 MB. What's the point of having so much data sent to the HDD when there's so much free ram! Obviously there's also going to be a compromise between...

    Audio splitting

    I have a motherboard with on-board sound that can be configured for playing different sources to speakers and headphones. Your motherboard or sound card may already have this option. If not, I don't think software would be able to provide it, as it seems like a feature that would need to be...
