    Any trader From Italy?

    better than Sulmona? :) As I said, never been there, but it's a fairly touristic place, better known for the coast than for the park, though. People just want to go to the beach :) The Tremiti islands are probably the most known spot: http://www.vieste.it/foto_isole_tremiti.htm

    Am I relatively safe with this home wireless setup?

    I'm far from being a security expert, but: does 128 bit mean that you are using WEP? It's not very likely that someone will come and hack your network, but it doesn't cost much to use WPA with PSK: http://docs.lucidinteractive.ca/index.php/Cracking_WEP_and_WPA_Wireless_Networks if...

    Web based or download TWS from IB

    not true. With webstart only updates are downloaded. It's true that TWS is updated quite often, but you don't have to download most of it every time.

    Any trader From Italy?

    Gargano is a region north of Bari. With a park http://www.parcogargano.it/?15,1 http://www.parks.it/parco.nazionale.gargano/Eindex.html Not that much. I was joking about the bad reputation that southern Italy has, because of carelessness and crime.

    TWS and Ubuntu

    No, I think that's the only way. I don't know what activematrix is, but if you can't execute the command found on the IB site, and you can't start it, you might have your path not set (what error message do you get?). You should install java using Ubuntu's package manager, which as far as I...

    Prop Industry Live Audio Chat

    Don, I'm not sure if that was before or after you left, but some people asked about strategies. The idea seemed to have some support. Can that be a good topic for the next chat? Nothing really detailed, of course. I'm sure some more topics will come out during the chat anyway :)

    cost of living higher than Milan? I'm far from being an expert about Milan, but I'm a bit surprised. Yes, the weather in the region can be a bit annoying, although I'm not sure it can be more stiflingly humid than other places in the summer.

    (How To) Hire A Programmer?What Precautions?

    Yes, I got that :) I have never been a recruiter, so I don't have much information, and I haven't been looking for a job for a couple of years, but some job engines should give the possibility to search for freelancers. Monster, stepstone, theitjobboard, other sites. I think one or more can...

    Any trader From Italy?

    Well, maybe there are not a lot, but Italy is not a junkie free country. If your book is about traveling by train maybe it's talking about train stations, which usually are not very safe and clean places. But I'm just guessing.
