PBS is running a documentary series on the prohibition era. Presently they are airing Part III of unknown. These parts are each 2 hours long. Replace alcohol with marijuana, heroin, cocaine and all of the drugs prohibited by old white drunk (and high) hypocrites presently in Congress and it...

I downloaded Malwarebytes to my web surfing box because everyone says it's good. It found lots of stuff. I initially installed the free trial of the premium version. When that expired I uninstalled it and downloaded the free version. Now it keeps having this popup from the taskbar saying...

Most traders want to protect their trading account. If you only have $1,000 in there and it's just a hobby, then maybe you don't need a dedicated machine. If you have $500,000 in there and you're heavy into futures on volatile days and it's what you rely on for income, it's worth protecting...

OK, pick on the south. I'll grin and bear it. But I'm going to clear some things up: Mash is northern. It's not southern. It goes along with sack (to put your groceries in) and pop (soda). NOBODY in the south uses Tobasco. That stuff is garbage. I was eating frog legs with folks from New...

+1 But that doesn't mean we won't help him out. I remember coming on here a long time ago asking about what graphics cards were best for trading. I'm trying to think of who it was on here - I think it was gnome I was referred to off of a forum over at TT.

Something outside of that. First and foremost, I strongly suggest a trading computer is a dedicated machine. All it does is trade. It does not do the newswires, it does not do backtesting, it does not do gaming, etc. But if you're insisting all of this happens on one machine, here's my...

Why do you people do updates? If you go under the hood of your car and "fix" something every day that is not broken, I promise you that you will destroy that automobile.

I agree this should be pinned. Thanks Winston!

I think the top is behind us on the ES. To the downside we go.

I think something's being misinterpreted. Winston has a gazillion servers. That's not an issue. He's looking for the platform. I suggested IRC because when I worked for Microsoft that's what we used. The client runs on the user's machine and the host runs on the server. All the host does is...

IMO a trading system should be dedicated to trading. No e-mail, browser, etc. Just trading.

Some places you can get a work permit when your license is suspended.

I'll second changing the colors. Black or grey background is less stress on the eyes.

Given the option of connecting or not connecting your modem/ router to a UPS, connect it. More often than not you'll keep on ticking during a power failure. I went through 9 hurricanes in 2 years and never missed a tick. Longest power outage was over 2 weeks. If you have a generator that UPS...

Apple is a horrible company. They prey on the young and naive. In the year the ipod came out I spent thousands of dollars purchasing ipods for disadvantaged kids. They all opened them up Christmas morning only to discover that even when you already have thousands of mp3 files, not a single one...

Your main concern should be that it all fits together. Here's what I tell people: Start at your monitors. How many monitors? Now you can configure your graphics processors. How many GPU's will it take to push those monitors and do the connectors match? Now look at your motherboard. Does the...

When it comes to software, there's no such that as an "upgrade". An upgrade results in something of greater value (of higher grade) such as paying $50 to move from coach to business class. You get a bigger seat and free booze! All software is trash. Subsequent releases only attempt to fix...

You haven't said where you are so asking on here is like asking a wall. I suggest you start by asking whomever you pay the money to. Then you can go from there and ask someone who is familiar with that jurisdiction if they think you were given proper information.
