    IB Family & Friends Advisor accounts?

    I'm just wondering if anyone on ET is using the IB Family & Friends Advisor Account set up. Can anyone tell me a little bit about how it works? I'd like to be able to trade two accounts with the same amount in each, (one mine and one a friends) and have any profits or losses distributed...

    G200 Quad Card versus two dual-head cards (part II)

    The G450 Dual head cards are only 16 meg which is 8mg for each monitor. For 2D applications, 8mg per monitor is fine. Did you consider that the guy at the shop might have been trying to upsell you for a little more commish? You would only need more ram if you wanted to do gaming, and...

    firewall question

    I have a hardware firewall which is an old 486 machine. I run Smoothwall which is a linux based program. It stays up for over 100 days without a reboot. Hardware firewalls are superior to software firewalls and are a lot less hassle to maintain once you have one running. Given that old...

    Is reality concrete or abstract ?

    Reality is by nature concrete. Our perception of it can never be anything but abstract. The fact that we can only perceive things, without ever really knowing if they are concrete, means that we can never really be sure of what is real. Reality can only exist to us in the form of a concept for...

    Spyware Software

    I recently ran a scan on my computer using Adaware and I followed it with a scan using Spybot straight after. Spybot picked up a number of items that Adaware did not, none of which were high risk. However given that both of them are free, its worth using both to be sure. Runningbear

    What's the best way to trade full time, while working for someone else full time?

    Befriend the IT guy. Find out what floats his boat. Porn, football, Quake, whatever. If it's football for example, tell him you've got a few free tickets for a big game and see if he's interested. He probably has no friend's anyway. That way, he'll turn a blind eye to your IT indescretions and...
