    All The Best Linux Security Hardening?

    Here is a link to a free open source book on Linux security that may prove useful. The book is available for free download in PDF format. http://www.phptr.com/promotions/promotion.asp?promo=1484&redir=1&rl=1 (It's near the bottom of the page). If you are the only person with access to...

    Streaming Data Feeds may soon get easier

    Probably because it has been put in the 'too hard' and too complicated basket. And because of the somewhat unreasonable predjudice of some in the TCP/IP community against ISO protocols. You cannot reasonably work with big ASN.1 protocols without an ASN.1 compiler. It's several years since I...

    Few rookie IB + API questions

    That is quite correct. For example, I have had no problem with real time quotes simultaneouly for all the components of the Nasdaq 100 via the API.

    USA sponsoring death squads, as per usual

    What a farce. Any degree of moral depravity justified in defence of the US empire. Sorry 'democracy'. And you might not have noticed, but people do have long memories and US influence in Latin America is rapidly declining and will almost certainly decline futher. So the barbarism in El Salvador...

    Password security for files

    NTFS has access control lists (ACLs). I think some reading about these is the right place to start. The first Google search result I came across: http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/file/ntfs/secAccess-c.html

    I did it!...I just configured and ordered a Athlon Dual Core from CyberPowerSystems

    There might be some point in using an SLI motherboard - not for SLI, but rather because they come with two PCIe x 16 slots which can be used indepenently for two graphics cards such as NVS285 (in x8 PCIe mode). At least the specs for some of these SLI board state this.

    SSH tunneling for VNC

    If some employers take a dim view of time wasting by surfing the net, I'll bet some take an even dimmer view of attempts to circumvent network secuity and usage policy. How are they to know what traffic you are running over the SSH tunnel ?

    Proposed Iranian oil Bourse

    That is an excellent (indeed critical) point. Empires have always been established and maintained by the threat and application of military power. Ultimately application of military power is a political decision. You won't get any understanding of this from Econ 101, or from most of modern...

    Dax/Russell trading and indicators

    C++ vs. Borland Delphi

    This is quite an important point. The other options mentioned don't pose that sort of risk - Python - very active open source community. Microsoft trying to muscle in. Zero chance it will be dumped in the forseeable future and further development virtually assured. Many free libraries...

    Is it time...

    You need a special cable to operate ANY screens on these cards, so if you buy off eBay try to get a card with right Y cable, or you will have to get one elsewhere. It is called a DMS-59 cable.

    KOSPI options

    My understanding is that US residents are not allowed to (unless they have a LOT of money). Def from IB has posted on this several times.

    KOSPI options

    I have noticed a possible issue with the IB/TWS data feed for K200 futures: When calculating the bar volume from the TWS API cumulative VOLUME events the bar volume appears to be about twice that given in the backfill data for the same bar length. This is done in my own charting code so it...
