Now I KNOW that you dont :)

Thanks but we aren't looking for business partners right now :D

No, just that you can only really concentrate on 4 things at once and that in fact, more information clutter around you actually DEGRADES your ability to monitor information. Like I said, the best strategy IMHO is to automate the monitoring of things as much as possible - heck a bunch of trading...

Wow ! Only 8 ! Clearly you aren't a serious trader. I dont think you trade either :D

Its basic knowledge that applies to the development of user interfaces to information systems ... The studies were done by a variety of firms like IBM, Microsoft, Xerox and others. The results apply to any type of information flow that people need to monitor in real or near-real time.

What ! only 16 ! Surely YOU dont trade. I'm afraid nobody would be impressed with such a low investment and uncluttered trading room :D

Yes. We write automated systems to handle the upteen markets we watch. The computer does this for us - imagine that ! Moreover, when a change relevant to our model occurs, it updates a single screen. So, if someone tells me that they absolutely need 6 monitors to do their work I only allow...

..but I am an expert and anything less that 40 is for novices .....

Yes but my point is that only three to four things can be dealt with actively at one time. When people ask me - for example someone asked me for a six-plex setup around their desk - I tell them that if you think you need this much information around only your desk them its time to start...

Yes. Radical Changes realtive to the last 10-15 years. We are at the beginning of what I see as a vast re-engineering of how software systems are produced: the changes over the next 10 years will completely change the nature of what we commonly associate with jobs like softwar engineering and...

actually its not ..... There are numerous studies that show that nearly everyone loses the ability to track more than 4 things at once: with the ability showing a marked decrease from three to four. After four, things really go downhill fast. Anyone contemplating whether they need more than...

The pacific northwest is an interesting place .... but it has its share of problems. I have worked there for long stretches but I would not think about moving my family there ..... I think if you are single and like the outdoors then its fine place to live ...provided you are plugged into the...

If you have a good degree in mathematics and / or physics then you should have all the knowledge you need for trading. The more esoteric ideas - some of the stated quant methods - as basically rehashes of ideas you will have seen in theoretical physics, or if your background is more strictly in...

Exactly.

Absolutely agree. I think when starting a new business venture or career the first questions that you need to ask are : How do I get paid ? and (if employed or partnered) How does my employer/partner get paid and what is their business model ? So its easy: before you get involved with a...

Win2K does not use the registration database in the same way. The last time I did what you suggest with XP there was a whole set of annoying, time consuming steps that made the whole process a gigantic time sink. Even with site licensing this is still a huge administrative cost - as of the last...

... and that is an extremely poor statement from any company that parts way with a managing director and especially someone with such a long record on the street. IMHO someone at the top of the firm sacked Acampora. The statement from the company is bullflop. I probably would think twice...

I am puzzeled by the answers on this thread: On linux I take the HD out of one machine, put it in another machine and its works: At most I might have to change one line in a couple of configuration files. Pretty simple. I dont need to buy another HD if the current one works. In addition the...

... another group replaced by computers.......

It should be .... but for some reason if its not then you can simply add two lan cards. In linux the failover can be done in a couple of different ways .... In $soft I beleive that the failover capability is native in the current version of the server OS ... I'm not sure what the situation is in...
