volpunter will be back. It is hard to out word him with all his energy.:D

All this gloom and doom about global warming when it is the next ice-age like the ones 12000 and 20000 years ago that will kill off more the half the planets population by starvation. I live on the Tennessee Georgia border where the entire landscape is carved out from glacier flows during the...

I have been trying many different linux distributions for the last 10 years. I have thrown out stacks of linux install disk trying to find an adequate distribution. Recently I tried OpenSuse 13.1, Linux Mint 16, and PCLinuxOS 2013.12. There is always some issue that quickly ends my use of a...

I hope I never join that group!; Although, I thought I was going blind until I tried the ray-ban ambermatics.:cool:

I always wear Ray-Ban ambermatic sunglasses when I am using computer monitors. This for me has for years eliminated the eye fatigue and strain problems I was having when I started using computers with monitors.

For sure, you can not count on getting the truth from reading broker and software ads. If you can not have open debate and review, what do you have? I know exactly what Baron is saying about complaints from advertisers saying they are going to withdraw their ads if negative reviews are not...

I lived there for 4 years. People lived in cardboard boxes or anything else they can find to sleep in. I lived most of that time within a military base with MP at all gates. The base was a very nice safe place; However, outside of the base was the pits. Any house worth anything was made out of...

US doctrine: Inflation today, Inflation tomorrow, Inflation forever

I worry about inflation but not deflation. I think deflation would be a good thing for me. Governments sell inflation as a good thing for the economy when in reality inflation is only good for debtors. I would want to hold cash going into a deflationary depression and buy real assets when I felt...

IB technical support and development group spent days of their time and solved the problem I was having with not being able to login to my account management using the gold card+. Ib's TAC group has been very supportive and helpful during the 14 years I have had an account at IB. I have now cut...

Canuck, Did you install Java from the Sun/Oracle website? Did you install the JRE or did you stay with the JDK you had previously installed through package management. I have installed and tried many different linux distributions over a number of years and have always found they were not...

I do not think it is very unlikely the card would get damaged in the mailing envelope and packaging my card arrived in. My gold + card has functionality issues and it for sure was not damaged in shipment. The problems were built into the card.

Most of the time I do not lose my bios settings if I am fast enough on changing out the battery. I have the new battery in my fingers next to the battery holder, try to get the old battery out and the new battery into the battery holder as fast as I can. I write the date of installation on the...

If I could login with my digital gold card+through IB's website, the card would be a keeper. The lack of the cards stiffness and problems with the unintended triggering of buttons from the cards back side is a easy fix for me with about an hours work. I think it would function for me as well as...

Electing more Libertarians into our police state could help? There has to be a no-good reason for both the "Right" and the "Left" bad mouthing the Tea Party and Libertarians.

I have been using a platinum login token since they were first issued 7 years ago. It has always worked great, easy to use, with a combination of numerical characters and the letters of the alphabet. The platinum token is about 13 times more secure compared to the replacement digital gold card+...

Another witch hunt being used by the USA government to go after, charge, fine and extort money out of those of their choosing while at the same time looking the other way and not charging the really big violators. Many market makers have engaged in a similar activity for generations. But, I...

Maybe Captools/Net. It is not cheap ($1200 per year for first year and $600 per year for annual renewal). I have been using Captools for Windows (an earlier version of the software but still works great for my needs) for 14 years. This is great software but too expensive for me to upgrade to the...

I am still using a 1024 x 768 screen resolution and ET pages mostly fit and look great. I think a lot of this is a function of the browser settings.

You are not required to fill out and send to IRS 8949 for covered transactions when box 6b is checked by broker on 1099-B except for wash sales or when broker has an error in the reported cost basis. For this year I do not have to fill out any forms 8949 or report any individual transactions on...
