    Operating System?

    Roscoe - Doubt it's the OS - have both XP and W2K running on multiple machines with more going on them than you listed and NEVER have to reboot them. Suggest you: 1. Make sure you have the latest firmware updates installed - have seen notes on hardware generated problems with machines...

    When will eSignal provide intraday volume?

    How is it that for all their hype they manage to miss to fundamental datafeed requirements - intraday volume (for eminis) and the ability to reflect splits on the intraday data? You got to wonder why these are mere afterthoughts still waiting to be implemented instead of being integral to the...

    Have you tried completely disabling the IIS service?

    If you have Google toolbar beware the spyware

    Geez, everything's a conspiracy to some people. Probably want to double check that there aren't any holes in the aluminum foil helmet so the CIA/NSA can't beam instructions by microwave. :) The toolbar's code has already been decompiled by at least a dozen groups - if there was ANYTHING...

    Simply Unbelievable but true...WOW

    Contrary to what some might want to believe: People do have the right to say they don't want to speak on camera or have themselves recorded. Whether it was a smart political move for him is a different issue. He clearly has the right to tell the press to go f*ck themselves - freedom of...

    If you have Google toolbar beware the spyware

    Old news. Just turn off the "advanced features" option - or don't enable it during the install (it DOES ask if you want to enable the advanced features during the installation). BTW, practically every ad banner on millions of web sites that people routinely surf are recording your surfing...

    Wizetrade Journal

    What's the point of a "journal" that's posted days after the supposed trades - except as product hype?

    Positionsize formula

    Don't think there's enough info to do more than a complete SWAG - if you're looking for something analytic, you'd probably need something along the lines of an average volume bid and offered within X cents of the current price probably over several days. Then you'd have a more or less...

    Flow chart software

    If it's still being published, ABC Flowcharter (originally by Micrografx) was great for that and other chart creation needs. Haven't used it in a long while and don't know if it's still around though. You can also check Programmer's Paradise - http://www.pparadise.com

    IE goes blank "Invalid syntax error"

    Got to use the install CD/DVD - but you'll need to wipe the IE hives in the registry before reinstalling or it won't do anything There's no MSconfig in W2K - however you can use the one they shipped with XP if you aren't familiar enough to make mods without it (you'll have to borrow someone...

    IE goes blank "Invalid syntax error"

    Did you use any anti-adware/spyware that deleted any junk? If so, it's possible it's actually broken the IE config. Son of a friend used a free adware cleaner program and it found and deleted all kinds of crap the kid had unknowingly infected his machine with - but the software didn't...

    Atlernative energy stocks

    The whole "hydrogen initiative" seems little more than a misdirection. Smoke and mirrors with minimal funding to give the appearance of looking at alternatives to conventional systems and fuels. Wide spread use of hydrogen cars are both logistically impractical (the needed infrastructural...

    Ever been to the red light district in Bangkok? :)

    what if it is Noah's Ark

    The story of Noah's Ark and the Great Flood is actually a retelling (modified somewhat for its target audience) an even older flood myth (Gilgemesh is itself supposed to have been a retelling of an even older tale). A flood myth of some kind or other is global - peoples around the world have...

    Laptop Brand Selection

    Check with your credit card company - some cards (like AMEX) will automatically extend the manufacturer's warranty at no extra charge. Also, check your insurance to see if it'll cover your laptop while you're traveling. If not, you might want to look into an additional rider (if your insurer...

    how would a US citizen short China?

    Thanks - that makes sense. From the IB product page, it looked like the mini HSI options were options on the mini HSI futures, rather than options on the cash index.

    are deep in/out hard to trade

    Deep ITM options can be offset in the underlying if it's a better deal than paying the spread. Deep OTM options with thin to no volume - you're out of luck, you'll pay the spread.

    how would a US citizen short China?

    Thanks, didn't find that note. Interesting that you can trade Hang Seng Index Futures but not options on the futures.
