I konw the feeling well at the moment. I've spent too many hours trying to get a Matrox G200 MMS working with X and a DVI flat panel.

I'm a bit rusty on this stuff, so if I'm talking rubbish then just ignore. If you have multiple interfaces, I think you should bind the socket to the specific interface not INADDR_ANY.

http://pont.net/socket/prog/mcastClient.c I havn't read through it so I'm not sure it's exactly what you want, but it may help. If you are doing any serious amount of Unix network programming buy Stevens book. I think it's called "Unix Network Programming". It's considered to be the best.

What absolute rubbish. SSL/TLS is not just encryption. It is also authentication by means of digitally signed server certificates that certify that the server you are connected to is what it claims to be. To be of any value these X.500 certs must be signed by a trusted Certificate Authority such...

I think they should not be disclosing the email addresses of their whole customer base.

Actually it's not that simple. Those numbers are for integer arithmetic. The accuracy of single precision floating point operation (32bits) is nothing like 1 in 2^32. While the accuracy of a single floating point operation may be acceptable, when multiple arithmetic operations are performed...

With IB you can trade European stocks including FT100 from a single Universal account. I am not a US citizen so I'm not sure what regulatory restrictions if any apply in US. I think IB's comissions are probably better than most if not all retail brokers in UK. In UK CFDs are popular for...

Best chance is almost certainly Vmware. Just about anything that doesn't do exotic things to hardware should run. I don't know how you would go trying to run Vmware with multi head display and Xinerama. I would guess probably OK in a window. Full screen mode ???? No doubt Vmware support should...

This question would be more correctly posed as "Which Linux *Distribution* do you use ? Version really refers to the Linux kernel only. I have three Linux machines: One Knoppix because it came installed with Knoppix and I was too lazy to change it. (Athlon 2800XP, 1Gbyte, Two good quality...

Before buying a new card, it would be worth confirming that you have the latest Java version. There is also an option for the JRE command line that fixes some of these sorts of problems on Windows (-nodraw=true or something like that). I hardly ever use Windows so I've forgotten the exact string...

As a first pass, you can use the free demo account with IB to exercise your API code for development and testing purposes. It's a poor simulation of the real market and useless for evaluating a trading system, but quite useful for unit testing and 'getting a feel' for how it works.

This is very true and I think some Americans would be shocked to learn how far the perception of the US has fallen. A couple of months ago, here in Australia (which Bush and the neocons would count as a close US 'ally') the results of an extensive public opinion survey on Australian opinions...

Why don't you look at getting one or two used Matrox G200 quads from ebay. Many posters on ET have recommended them. It seems a much cheaper alternative than anything else. Also liable to run a fair bit cooler than stuffing a machine full of what are basically gaming cards. Cooler=more reliable...

No, not really. That is a very, very old version. I'm using 0.9.20. I strongly suggest that you get hold of a more recent release. Also read the JavaDoc for BasicStroke in Java2D. It should do what you want.

Yes, so am I. From memory, there are getRenderer() and setRenderer() methods for a plot. You will probably need to get hold of the rendererer and do a setStroke(). If this doesn't work, you will need to create your own renderer possibly (and most easily) by subclassing one of the standard...

You would be better off asking this on the jfreechart forums. Have a look at StandardXYItemRenderer.setStroke(). I assume that you are using this renderer for your line plot.

Yes. In fact I think it's mandatory in the account settings.

Nitro, If your 2 or 4 way SMP Opteron box wont cut it, you need one of these http://www.orionmulti.com/products/specs_ds96 Quite impressive for something you can plug into an ordinary power point.

The article is low grade FUD - fear, uncertainty and doubt. It purports to have the aim of making people think about security issues, but it's subtext is to sow doubt into the minds of prospective users of Firefox and other open source software. I thought the crowning glory was the...
