It typically boils down to some measure of the non-directional range of moves during some period; either present, historical, or expected. Opportunity exists in both high volatility as well as low volatility periods. Fear exploiters are generally operating on the assumption that high...

If that's the case then, I wouldn't worry much about buying a new card. They are getting proper signals from the bus, it's converting the signals that is the issue, which is in the card. I don't know how FRY's return policy is these days, but I would just go buy one and ask if you can return...

Am I understanding this correctly? Each card has two monitor outputs: 1 digital and 1 analog. You were able to verify one output on each worked? I.e. analog works on 1 but not the other. And digital works on 1, both, none? Could you clarify?

ah, ok then, thanks for the clarification. That cuts out one simple diagnostic then.

Assuming you are confident from swapping that the monitor is not the culprit (were you able to check the digital port as well?), and since you said the cards were identical, did you try swapping ports and seeing if the originally failed port worked or not? If it does work, it suggests the...

Not sure how far off you want the content to be, but... The Quants, Scott Patterson More Money than God, Sebastian Malleby When Genius Failed, Roger Lowenstein ... are great reads. For something much more off topic, yet indirectly related, I'm currently reading 'the Smart Swarm.'...

Saw it Friday; thumbs up. Sort of like the matrix meets 21 (alternatively, PI in color with a big budget). Anyone catch the opening with the fractal patterns fading into cities and neural structures; pretty cool. The relationship between Deniro and Cooper reminded me of Gecko and Bud Fox (on...

This isn't so much to generate debates or flames, but for those whom kindly PM'd me in the past asking for the 75% rule in simple terms, I did a small writeup and shared some R code. Hopefully, it changes the way you see random walks a bit. One of many insights I've had (in this case public...

There are a few ways to accomplish this; go back and search some of Maestro's old threads. Secondly, there are some good ideas posited by nLepwa, but regarding reversion of fat tails.. be very careful about some assumptions. It can be shown that fat tails actually increase short term auto...

To 1st: bailing out banks goes back far before1990s. 2nd: The last 20 years have had dividends far below historical norms, yet there were a good number of rising years within (biggest/ longest bull market in recent history occurred under this condition). In my experience, none of these...

6lb with base; not sure how much base contributes, but it looks pretty heavy for stability. Could use with one of the usb to dvi converters at high res. If the base is > lb, you could jerry rig an alternate lighter-weight one (large size, great res, maybe << 5 LB)...

Have you looked into a simple USB to DVI/VGA converter? Should open up a whole world of potential LCD screens for display; resolution is limited to 1600X1200 here, but it's just one vendor after a brief search: http://sewelldirect.com/USB-to-DVI-External-Video-Card-High-Resolution.asp

It could be a dozen reasons. Seeing as you are up and concerned about it, I would suggest doing google forum research and typing in the precise words/messages that come up. For example: http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread111079.html...

I don't dispute most of this, musical media has historically made the transition between mediums to digital in such short spans. Why on earth anyone wouldn't care about prices, previewing, and full ownership rights (to buy and sell or do as you please with the purchase as long as you like) is...

Yawn, if you have a contention on anything I stated, feel free to state some facts. Your one line sewage commentary doesn't add much to the discussion. I see ET hasn't changed much.

I really hope they survive. Anyone with a little bit of research and patience will find many of the higher cost book prices are typically lower than amazon, believe it or not. Perhaps that is their folly? Secondly, with amazon, you can't even really preview the books (ok, several pages on...
