    What happened to that autosurf discussion?

    Just read a blurb about StormPay freezing all assets for 12DailyPro, an investigation by the FBI and a forthcoming determination if these autosurf programs are in fact ponzi schemes. Don't know what if any of the above is true, just passing it along as I found it. The last paragraph is the...

    Iran and American Interference

    To quote your response to someone else: "If I were you I would not bet on that." Or perhaps you are playing word games, for instance, if a rogue element 'stole' a nuke from Iran and then used it against Israel then it would be true literally that no country today used a nuke, however the end...

    Iran and American Interference

    Really? Where does this right come from? [B] So in your mind everyone must wait until a nation like Iran uses a nuke on a neighbor and then we are "allowed" to take some action? Until then we must mind our own business? Sounds like fun, humans probably won't be around on this planet much...

    Software/Hardware needed to trade after the FOMC

    If you are seeing 1Mbps from a single stock ticker then you are getting a burst of lagged data or something else is going on with your system. There is no way a single ticker generates that much traffic real-time unless your vendor is sending you a data feed using GIF images of each individual...

    1Mbps?!? I doubt any data vendor has even a tenth that much bandwidth available per concurrent client.

    Harddrive Issue...

    No, there are no master/slave jumpers on SATA drives. The connection to the motherboard (and/or BIOS settings) determine boot order.

    Harddrive Issue...

    As far as I recall there are no jumpers wtih SATA, you just cable it to the motherboard, one drive per cable thus no master/slave issues. I only have a couple of systems with SATA drives though and none of them have dual SATA yet like the OP.

    Harddrive Issue...

    Hi gnome, I would be very surprised if any Windows-based software could access the drive if its not even showing up in the XP device mgr, this sounds like a different problem to me.

    Harddrive Issue...

    Ok sorry, sometimes its hard to tell someone's level of knowledge, checking for it in device mgr was my second suggestion so you are already ahead of me. Wish I could be of more help, very strange that its not showing up at all in XP when it does in BIOS. What kind of system is this?

    Harddrive Issue...

    You don't need any special drivers. When you say that XP doesnt recognize it, what specifically do you mean? Does it show up in computer management->disk management? BTW, has this drive ever been formatted or is it brand-new? If it is not formatted this it is normal for it to not show up as...

    IB or MB Trading?

    I dont know what kind of option strategies you utilize but MBT looks pretty weak on options: https://www.mbtrading.com/ratesOptions.asp I'm a happy MBT user (not for options, equities/futures) but I wouldn't recommend using a hammer to drive a screw. In terms of financials, MBT is not...

    Why isn't anyone discussing what is going on?

    What happens when MSFT gaps down $1 overnight without any trades occuring. If I have 1000 shares I just lost $1000 of wealth. Now who is the counterparty that increased their wealth by $1000?

    Please do not use the word money when you mean wealth. They are not the same at all! Don't go there...(again)

    Why isn't anyone discussing what is going on?

    "Their aggregate financial wealth may be higher or lower, but the total amount of money they own remains unchanged." :confused:
