A cynic might remark that MS has had an awfully long time and virtually unlimited resources to address the security issues in Windows and there are still a lot of problems. No doubt exacerbated by less than adequate system admin practices in many cases. No matter how good the admin practices...

I havn't tried Xen, but several years ago I used Vmware on on a 600Mhz PIII laptop with 192 Mbyte of memory and Windows 98 as guest and Red Hat 7 as host. Mostly for MS Office and connectivity to Exchange server for email. I even had an X.500 server and Ingress database running under NT as a...

Maybe. Predicting these things is close to impossible. While dual boot may well be popular with home users, I can't see it being a such a big deal in the IT world. In a work environment, rebooting your Mac just to get email from an Exchange server is not likely to be a big winner. However...

You don't know what you are talking about. Unix/Linux is about as 'mainstream' as you can get. What do you think powers the internet ? Ever heard of LAMP ? It is highly likely that your email is delivered by a Unix/Linux box at an ISP. Better watch out for those Unix 'extremists'.

A virtualization product for Mac allowing OS X, Windows and Linux all to be run concurrently: http://www.parallels.com Virtualization is a much better option than dual boot.

I have to agree with you on this. Most older people use PCs for browser/email/office suite. I see no discernable difference in ease of use between Windows/IE/outlook/office and Linux/Firefox/Thunderbird/OO.org. In fact Linux is probably better - Firefox is superior to IE, and with Linux the...

Hmmm. I don't know about that. There are some standard features of KDE that are superior to Windows desktop for a trading workstation: 1. Better control of desktop fonts. 2. Multiple desktops standard. 3. Configurable 'snap to' window behavior. Easier to align windows. 4. Always...

I implemented cross hairs extremely simply in Java by setting the Graphics object alternatively to paint and XOR modes. It is very fast - negligable CPU usage. Something like 1. Paint cross hairs in PAINT mode. 2. Mouse moved: A: Remove old crosshairs by painting in XOR mode...

It's Linux not Mac though I expect it is the same on both. Cut and pasted from my startup script: $JAVA_HOME/bin/java -cp jts.jar:jcommon-1.0.0.jar:jfreechart-1.0.0.jar:jhall.jar:other.jar:rss.jar jclient.LoginFrame . which looks the same to me as that shown on the download page. In any...

Please keep the downloads for TWS for MAC/Unix on the TWS dowload page up to date. Although the dowload page lists the Mac/Unix version for download as 857, when it is downloaded and run the log file shows: JTS-Main: Build 856.5, Feb 3, 2006 6:17:38 PM This problem has also occurred with...

You can run both at the same time on the same machine using virtualization software. With the new dual core processors this is an increasingly viable option performance wise. Some software options: Microsoft to make their virtualization software free and also support Linux as a guest OS...

Exactly what is free ? From a quick look at your web site it seems that it is ECN tick and real time data that is free. Is this the case ?

MMD, When is Matrox going to do something about the state of Linux drivers for it's multihead cards ? eg 64 bit, X11 R7.0 and plently of other issues. You should take the opportunity to read your own support forum.

While on the topic of tools, the other type of tool that I think is invaluable for C and C++ code are what are known as 'automatic runtime debuggers'. Commercial products include Purify and Insure++ which are quite expensive, but worth every penny in commercial software development. Somewhat...

A comment about comments and coding style. It might seem a bit odd, but there's too many of them buried in the above code fragment and that makes it harder to read. It's preferable to put the bulk of comments in a comment block preceding the function/method. For C or C++ consider using...

emini, I have the same upper and lower VA for the ES as you have. I must confess to not having completely read this thread, but I get the impression that you are placing too much stock in MP levels and setting a bias before the market opens without sufficient attention to what's happening...

You can screen for beta with the yahoo screener: http://screen.finance.yahoo.com/stocks.html No doubt there are many other screeners that will also do it.

Clients don't listen, they connect (at least for connection oriented protocols such as TCP). When an application calls connect(2) the operating system allocates a port as the local connection endpoint. It can be bound to a specific local port, but that is usually not necessary.

I guess so, if they are services open to the internet eg HTTP server.

You can easily run firefox for example under another user id: 1. Create a new group and user specifically for browsing. 2. Open a terminal window and do xhost + This disables X server access controls so users other the user id under which the X server was started can access the X...
