    how do you define the price?

    But those are two different cases, aren't they? If you are talking about bid-ask then you are talking about values that actually don't have a real place in the trade. The price on a tick reflects the equilibrium in that specific instant, that is, what two people in the market consider a fair...

    Microsoft admits Vista failure. Actions speak louder than PR

    no. PC, as in "personal computer", was introduced on August 12, 1981, and had since its introduction an MS-DOS system: http://inventors.about.com/library/weekly/aa033099.htm the IBM PC had an architecture with standard components, which allowed many companies to copy it, making the PC the...

    Microsoft admits Vista failure. Actions speak louder than PR

    Small difference: there were no pcs. They will get Vista working, as they did with XP, as they did with 98. But the truth is that they are just taking advantage of their monopoly. Nothing else. As I said, wait and see

    Microsoft admits Vista failure. Actions speak louder than PR

    I wouldn't say OpenOffice is as good as Office, but it's pretty good, and completely free. The problem is that when you get a document you get a doc file, or an xls file. You are expected to have Office, and some other applications (like OpenOffice) don't always work, because of the special...

    Computer guru? help needed, question on files

    a couple of points: - if you did a reinstall, did you try with just Windows installed? Maybe an application or a driver is slowing down your drive access. Try to see what happens in safe mode. - I don't know how many files in a directory XP can handle, but the question is rather how many...

    Microsoft admits Vista failure. Actions speak louder than PR

    I know, the genuine advantage has been more times reported to fail: hackers have a working windows, and honest users don't. Yet, there is no 100% valid alternative. Windows has by far most of the drivers and applications. Linux is closing the gap, but it's not there yet, at least on the...

    Microsoft admits Vista failure. Actions speak louder than PR

    Not really clear what you mean, I will assume you mean linux and openoffice. Yes, it might be worth the effort, but what do you do then when someone sends you a file in word format? Sure, openoffice can do it, but can it really? Mostly, but not always, although it's getting better. And what do...

    MS Office alternatives?

    OpenOffice. Runs on several operating systems, it's open source, and it's backed by Sun Microsystems. And it does the job pretty well

    Looking for help finding a website offering detailed stock charts by date?

    i must be doing something wrong then. If I chose year or decade I can "zoom" into the day, but I can't switch to less than daily. I still have these huge daily bars

    Foreign women better than western?

    besides the fact that a woman that can talk about fusion is not necessarily smart, I think that the point is not that smart implies sexy. But sexy does imply smart. A dumb expression is indeed unattractive. Maybe we can replace the expression "is smart" with "has personality"

    Short-term trading with Oscar

    See, the point is the word "advertising". First of all, the fact he is advertising would make it automatically a spammer, at least according to my definition. And that's quite annoying. That said, I have nothing against Oscar. If he wants to run his site with his videos he's absolutely free to...
