That depends on how the ISP's DHCP server is configured. You can check your assigned address by going to a site like http://www.whatismyipaddress.com/

I can't speak to what you need to do with a specific application because the application could contain code to detect the session going down and automatically retry to bring it back up on its own - in which case you wouldn't need to do anything. But barring that kind of...

Yea, they have been promising that historical data would be available "real soon now" since Jan :mad: I never got the impression that it was a money issue, I though the issue was preventing lag during busy periods by limiting the amount of traffic generated through aggregation (e.g. its not a...

Huh? The issue was that the non-server version of Acronis don't support dynamic disks, not that it doesn't support basic disks - I think you have it backwards.

I also have accounts at both, I don't think MB's interface is bad but it takes time to get used to it and learn the tricks to make it fast/efficient. I think IB's interface can be a jarring the first time you use it as well. Since there are 3rd party interface options for both I don't see...

AFAIK, there is no performance difference between basic disks and dynamic disks (all else being equal) Dynamic disks are a prerequisite for using some of the more advanced disk volume features, if you are not using these features then there is no advantage to having dynamic disks over basic...

Quote from manlycure: False I have an IB IRA account and it is designated as a margin account. I am able to use the proceeds from the sale of stock immediately to purchase another stock (and have done this). From IB's Account Configuration/Account Capabilities page (Trading Access ->...

Yep, looks like you have to upgrade to the True Image Server versions to get dynamic disk support.

Shamelessly stolen from Fatwallet.com - I haven't tried it since I already have a copy but for those who don't....

They sell fairly inexpensive simple RAID1 dual-drive setups (example: http://www.cooldrives.com/sata-to-firewire-enclosure-raid.html). RAID1 mirrors one drive on to the other so the loss of either single drive wont cause any interruption in your work. Note that this only protects against...

Not sure what you are referring to about these copy errors, if we didnt trust a hard drive to store/retrieve data exactly bit for bit as written then PC's wouldnt be where they are today. Who would use spreadsheets if data randomly changed without warning? Sure there are low-level errors but...

I was going to ask why you clone instead of image - I do all my (backup) imaging to a network drive

I recommend Acronis True Image if you are going to go that route - very easy to use.

I'm not that concerned about NK having a nuke (in terms of using it) I am concerned that they might be desperate enough to sell a nuke to some militant group who doesn't give a damn about MAD.

saxon22, the last post by illiquid is spot on about how what it is like to chase ticks. Have you tried signing up for a simulator account and doing what you are suggesting? If not (why not?) and you are basing this only based on looking at historical charts then I think you are in for a bit...

If you saw any part of the Windows boot process then the hard drive cannot be toast (e.g. crashed) because Windows is read from the hard drive (as opposed to the BIOS startup screen) That being the case then I agree with the posters that suggest either mounting as a second or slave drive in a...

Yes, exactly. Example: http://sdk.mbtrading.com/SDKKB.php

Yes, of course. Check out MBTrading's SDK or IB's API [B] The data feed is typically provided by the broker that provides the API or you can go with an independent feed like eSignal. The type of data available varies with the provider. I dont understand the restriction question, are you...

VZ - they are just starting their fiber deployment (FIOS) that should repeat benefits for many years to come and the initial results look encouraging. (Also agree with ETF's)
