Sorry, but I don't follow you. Can't GSCO have reps in the pit who are equally capable of disguising their size?

Where did you see this? Do you have a link?

Amazon is selling it for $33 used, $42 new. How much would you like?

Satellite is available pretty much everywhere, excepting abandoned mines, missile silos, undersea habitats, and the north face of K2. :) Seriously, you should check it out.

Your scenario is ambiguous. You include "20% chance of losing $30 (commissions)" as one of the "favorable" cases. One might *assume* that you mean "20% chance of a break-even [you call that "favorable"?] with $30 lost to commissions." Please be more explicit. Is a $30 commission already...

try asking on IB's boards.

Chazz, This stuff is fascinating. Where are you getting the data? Is it all from Market Lab? I don't recall seeing Margin Debt there. And are you transcribing the Barron's data manually?

Skepticism is healthy. But it's less credible when couched in abusiveness, as frequently happens on these boards. When disputing a "guru", it would be better to state the bare facts as simply and unemotionally as possible. "I used to be disgusted. Now I'm just amused."

NBL (Not Bloody Likely). The conventional technique would be to pass the binary scan output through an OCR package. Virtually every scanner comes with one. You'll have to eyeball the OCR output for errors, but correcting them will still cost only a tiny fraction of the amount of typing...

The problem isn't QT. It's just that there's a temporary problem with one particular third-party source for backfill data on futures. QT's other sources for free non-futures data work fine.

"Not work" is good enough for me. Already have Linuxes (Linuxae? Linuxi? Linuci?). Was intrigued by the Win server hack, only because I can't completely dispense with Win, and hoped that "server mode" might bring better reliability through stricter enforcement in internals constraints.

Don, http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=146883#post146883 TIA.

See http://www.practicallynetworked.com/ . Look for (or ask them) about comparative data-rates for wireless versus broadband. It's not necessarily a no-brainer: broadband is a lot faster than dial, but you'd be surprised at how small the funnel becomes when going from the street to your NIC...

Are you saying, "I won't believe it until someone has tried it", or are you saying, "I know of it having been tried and failed"?

Better features/usability than NT. Much more stable than 98/ME. But not perfect. My W2kPro still occasionally must be hard-rebooted, and has occasional GUI glitches, no matter how stale or fresh I am about the Windows Update maintenance. Minimize your use of tweaks, PowerToys, etc. --...

Depends. Do you experience an overpowering urge to spit on her, then suck her blood, then move on to someone else?

Earthlink is probably the only remaining major ISP who still cares about service. Definitely avoid SBC/Yahoo. If you really need realtime T&S, then I don't agree that dial-up is adequate, no matter what flavor.

Thought the reference was to W2K. Maybe I misunderstood the poster. "I think Advanced Server is better then regular server only in clustering functions and # of CPUs it will support. There is also a hack . . . "

Couldn't find it after about 30 minutes of googling. What else can you remember about it?
