Oh, that's just the poltergeist - hide the knives :)

Why would a minor (couple thousand miles) geographical difference have any bearing on what Inet search engine someone uses? Google's webcrawlers crawl the globe. Doesn't matter whether you're in Maine, Florida, California, or Australia - you can still do a Google search. Now, if you were...

With your SSN, they can get your full credit report - which will have all your credit account numbers. They can potentially use that to forge CCs or use the info online, they can apply for new CCs, and they could even potentially go as far as using it to create a duplicate identity complete...

Then I'd suggest getting a DSL and a cable connection (each with their own modem of course). Install a DSL/cable NAT router like a Linksys (check for deals, I got mine for a $9 after rebates during a sale at Circuit City). Connect your PCs to the router and connect the uplink cable from the...

Don't know how much real redundancy you'll get with two DSL lines. Since both lines would end up going over the same physcial wire bundle to the same central office. You'd only be protected in the event you lost one of the DSL modems or one of the central office interfaces. Any problem of...

The computer definitions of the prefixes used for RAM and disk space are specific only to those uses and the deviation stems from the early days when you wouldn't have a 1,000 bit memory bank - it had to be 1024 because the # of bits had to be a power of 2 due to the design - so they warped Kilo...

Gee - all this time I thought the Zetta prefix was added in honor of Michael Douglas's wife winning the Oscar and the Yotta prefix was added by a Star Wars fan :) :) :)

Depends on the other program and how it accepts the data you're trying to "dump" - which one did you have in mind? You can write VBA routines and can use COM objects to do a lot of different things, but be aware that Excel is fundamentally a spreadsheet program with scripting capabilities, it...

Lots of power comes in small packages these days. Don't know how extensive or big a CPU-sucker your "multidimensional signal processing/analysis" app is, but all the other normal trading applications combined don't pose a significant resource consumption - at least not for a 1 GHz P4M...

A "12 pound notebook" and "easy to pick up" shouldn't be used in the same sentence :) However, you CAN pack a computer in less weight and an as easily transported package when you're talking about a 12 pound notebook that's already not especially useful as a "notebook" PC. I did the road...

If only....

Politicians are all part of the same sub-species. Dems and Reps are two sides of the same coin, especially when it comes to their use of propoganda. You make it sound like the Reps thought up propoganda when Reagan was in office. Hardly. Both sides have used fear mongering propoganda on a...

You might also want to consider using a linear regression of the moving average values over a selected # of periods - it might give you a better slope (i.e., trend) indicator than a simple (Vn - V(n-m))/m Try comparing a moving liinear regression line slope to the simple (rise/time) moving...

Why not just use charting software with a Square of 9 tool?

A 12 POUND laptop??? There are desktop machines that weigh less than that!! Just guessing that portability isn't a factor here?? :)

Gordon - two factors involved - first, not all PC2700 memory is created equal and second, there's the old "name brand" vs. "generic" product issue common in lots of industries. With the versions of the memory on that page, there are differences in quality, density, and speed of the memory...

Note that you have to enter the text exactly as the answer was coded - including any misspellings and without any extra spaces On #29, "64 squares on a chess board" works - so make sure you didn't misspell anything or include any extra spaces

And the reason for that is because a portable laptop user would of course ALSO want to lug around a second monitor?? Better off getting a laptop with a higher res display - something like Toshiba's notebook with a 17" 1440x900 display (big screen laptops are much less portable though) or the...

Check Preferred Trade and OptionsXpress - I believe their order entry screens allow option stop orders contingent on the underlying's price.

Pretty funny. Did you make that up or find it?
