I never think M$ is tenically superior, nor do I hate open source. It's a suite of small projects vs. one big platform. I'd like to see more discussion on pros and cons of each model. I only have a couple desktops, no server OS. I'll stay with M$ until Linux gains a significant share on desktops.

What's your point here? If your trading profit is above $1000/year in a IRA, you owe tax?:confused:

If you want to use other platforms than IB.

jason_l, your comment makes sense to me. If IRS would pick on you simply because you trade an IRA account from thousands into millions, I can't imagine the consequence: Day trading equities would also lose tax benefit, trust companies would go out of business, a big class action lawsuit would...

The competition between Linux and M$ is more of business model than technology. I still don't quite understand how the Linux world works. With so many developers making contributions, how can they get coordinated? For Linux fans, can you prove Linux's open source approach is better than the...

I still can't quite understand the business model of Linux world. If it's free, how can the developers make a living? I don't believe all of them contribute for free.

What trading or charting platforms support Linux? What advantage does Linux offer on the desktop besides fees? I'm going to upgrade in the middle of 2007. It should be an AMD 64X2 with 800 FSB along with Win Vista.

I just checked the voltages in BIOS, all within 2% range of error. Under what circumstance should I replace the PS? How long is the life time of a PS?

Do I need to consider the possibilty of power supply failure and get a backup power supply?

I'm also thinking about backup of my entire hard drive. I'm going to buy a second internal hard drive to clone the data on the other one. The backup drive is disconnected unless in backup process, so a power failure won't hurt it. If the main drive is damaged, the backup can replace it...
