    I don't buy it -- I postulate this is a false move in a long term trend

    It was not admission, it was a statement, big difference. And it was meant as a warning never to fight the tape. Trouble is that it is the same as with an earthquake prone area: you better have regular small jolts than no jolts and having the tension building up and being released in one big...

    Market Crash

    Oh yeah but this time it is different :eek: (yeah right! don't you believe it. If there is one thing I have learned from history is that people do not learn from history) vital analitics

    Anyone else catch this move?

    the forex trades 24 hours and one person cannot watch all those hours, you'll have to eat and sleep too. Did you catch the move at the globex open today? Did you catch the move the other day at 3AM? And the 19th had a good move too, did you catch that? Too bad for you if you didn't... I...

    winter Thanks for the corrrection. Just shows relying on memory is not always a good idea, lol. (I have not been working in that arena for over 6 years) I can remember that at the time I thought that 2 disks in RAID were not very usefull and that RAID-5 were a far better option. But since...

    Cable and DSL redundancy

    Not if the dial up is through a mobile phone with a seperate phone company who is using a different backone (they are each others arch rivals, he he). My primary is using fibre optics to connect to the rest of the world, the mobile company is using satellite. I thought about satellite but for...

    Cable and DSL redundancy

    In our country the last part (the copper wire piece to your house) is monopalized by one company who doesn not allow others to get on the line. This means I may be able to get another supplier but they still are going through the last same stretch. If you look at it they are basically resellers...

    Cable and DSL redundancy

    Winter, many thanks for the reply. Basically I want something that is transparent to the datafeed and broker if one of the lines goes out. I tried wingate's "gateserver" and although it offers fail-safe it does not offer transparent use. Which means that the broker interface needs logging...

    Be careful here. RAID-1 is a nomenclature which is often misused. RAID-1 is striped across two hard disks. If one goes out you miss half of your data and you'll have to reinstall. There are those who call disk mirroring RAID-1. But diskmirroring is exactly that: it holds on the second disk...

    PC always on

    Neither have I had a BSOD since the advent of Win2000 but Win2000 was a bit more picky about drivers. Agree on the internal maintenance. Was not a problem in laptops when they did not have fans (the good ol' day's) but nowadays it is even worse than desktops. Particularly when they are...

    i 'm having a good day...what the hell...

    Came accross an expression some years ago: "the traders experience is proportional to the barlength traded". The shorter the timeframe the more execution speed gets in the way and the more you compete with robots and specialists. And they will throw every trick in the book at you to get your...

    Cable and DSL redundancy

    Hello seems some expert advice here. Unfortunately in my area there is only ADSL or dial-up. Is there anything that can be used together with ADSL and dial-up modem? Or is Maria correct in this? http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1104457#post1104457 thanks...

    How do you backup your system?

    the other important item is to have a DVD with ALL your software (and all license keys, encrypted in a TrueCrypt container) that is required for install. I am using ISO images and have some software that will just let you mount the ISO image as if it is another HD. When my setup changes then...

    Trading in Thailand

    exactly my experience and opinion! Lived also in the Phillipines (6 years) and a year in Bali. Even when you speak the local lingo in Bali you will still not be accepted, spoke to a number of expats married to local girls there. Philippines is more forgiving, if you know where to go and how...

    Acronis True Image 9

    my laptop has two user bays, one holds a CD/DVD and the other a second HD (you can also use an USB HD) I noticed this problem too with DVD. Since then I use two mehtods to backup: Acronis and PQDI (the old Pwoer Quest Disk Imager before Norton bought it) and put it to HD as well. I have...

    Trading from Koh Samui ?

    Exactly my experience. Found it expensive too. Stayed a while in Bali (Kuta) many years ago and had no problems trading from an interent cafe there. Put I had to search for the right one, this one had satelite access. Don't know what the situation is now. Persoanlly if I am going to Asia...

    Prepare for $5.50 Gasoline / $.35 KWH Electricity

    And so it should be. There is no need to waste precious resources and pollute the planet just to show off "mine is bigger than yours". :eek:

    Prepare for $5.50 Gasoline / $.35 KWH Electricity

    You should look on a more macro level than on a micro level before giving such a tunnel viewed reply. I'll leave it to yourself to work out how lower gas prices work their way through the economy. over and out. vital analitics
