Actually based on what I've read, that is no longer true (its not enough to just have the previous version install disk - you need to have the previous OS actually loaded now before it will let you do an upgrade install) But there is a work-around that lets you use a Vista upgrade disk to do...

It must suck to have all your magnetic media (including the strips on your credit cards) erased each time you pass through your door, not to mention if the magnets were that strong and you tried to walk by carrying anything iron you would end up with it stuck to the magnets. I liked the...

Sheessh, I guess some folks missed the part where the OP said "easy way" http://www.thefreecountry.com/security/securedelete.shtml Just a download a free secure disk wiper program, let it run for a while and then throw the drive in the trash. I havent used it myself but I would go with...

Yes (right now in fact), Yes, You must have enough available funds to cover the margin requirements

Older computers used to keep the BIOS settings saved in CMOS using this battery so a loss of battery power would cause you to lose any custom BIOS settings (e.g. they should revert back to factory default) AFAIK, all modern PC's store these settings in non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) so that they...

I can't tell if you are agreeing with me or not since you quoted me and then said "also". There is only one FIOS power supply and yes, it is attached to both the battery backup unit and the ONT. That is the one and only power supply that you must put on UPS if you don't want the ONT...

(1) Stop talking in 3rd person (2) Learn how to use the quote feature (3) If I understand your question correctly, 17ms is not possible. Please see: http://www.rpi.edu/dept/phys/Dept2/APPhys1/optics/optics/node8_d.html to see the speed of light in fiber.

Why aren't you eFiling?

Just ran across this thread, I've had FIOS 15/2 service for over a year and it is by far the best internet connection I have ever had. Some corrections/answers: (1) You do not have to use their router. Any router that support DHCP WAN address assignment (ie: all of them) will work. If...

If your computer clock is drifting that fast then something is wrong. I agree with the other poster that you should look into replacing the motherboard real-time clock battery (should be a cheap/easy fix). You may also want to run a system diagnostic program that checks real-time clock...

Agreed, no problems today but yesterday after the Fed announcement it was business as usual at MBT: lagging/hanging quotes and quote server disconnects. So disappointing, MBT - when are you going to get your IT infrastruture fixed so you can handle peak periods without failing? I had IB...

Ugh, this thread died in Mar 2006. Please let it rest in peace.

Do the math, the theoritical maximum gain is (2.16-2.0)/(2.0). The actual performance gain will be less, no way I would call that "big". The only time you should consider such a small incremental jump is if there are other differences between the two processors (such as front bus speed/memory...

Agreed, there are many sites that sells parts (and whole PC's) that cater to the home theatre PC (HTPC) crowd where quietness is paramount - check those sites out if typical PC noise bothers you. http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=DKUS,DKUS:2006-44,DKUS:en&q=quiet+PC

Ditto, you nailed it Kohanz. The only point that I could think of that you didn't mention is that personally I find that developing an ATS is more intellectually challenging/stimulating then just grinding out manual trades day after day. Obviously that is a personal choice, not everyone...

Oh I see, maybe there is some sector that is doing well that you dont have reflected in the stocks on your screen?

Errr, looks like its tracking the Nasdaq correctly to me: http://finance.yahoo.com/charts#chart1:symbol=qqqq;range=1d;compare=^ixic;indicator=volume;charttype=line;crosshair=on;logscale=on;source=undefined Link wont display correctly, you'll have to copy/paste it.

I had that happen yesterday, restarted TWS and it was fine.

Hmmm, let's see, if you really could get a computer program to trade exactly as you would then you could go off and do something else enjoyable while your computer is busy making money for you. Seems like a worthwhile goal to strive for. Also you could add additional strategies that trade...
