    Windows 2000 vs XP

    The IBM laptops did with add-on software. But when you start talking WEP etc then it is not keeping up with the latest developments. On the Toshiba's that we had we were never able to get it stable, it would keep loosing the connections when we used IE. Maria

    Windows 2000 vs XP

    The major differences as I see it: - Support for XP will be around longer for XP than for Win2000 - "out of the box" XP is more resource hungry than Win2000 - Once you know how to turn off all the "bloat" and unessential crap in XP it will just as fast as Win2000, not much between...

Ya know in the muslim world all those women that are not circumsized are regarded that they are destined to be a prostitute. And then if they get caught having sex before marriage then...

    ProfLogic method - trading statement

    tst tst, old prof flying in a tantrum again. well buddy, have I got news for you. I do not need to peddle my system and hang it out in the open and then claim that I am patenting it. And be secretive about my "special" ergodic settings. I trade and do not want to waste my time explaining...

    ProfLogic method - trading statement

    Well buddy you could not be more mistaken. I am a succesfull trader and have studied his method and it is the proverbial pos and is full of holes. This is why he is unable to trade at the moment because he is a one trick pony with a curve fitted system. End of story. :eek:

    ProfLogic method - trading statement

    tst tst, cannot blame the good old prof for putting the odds in his favour. reduce 20 days to one day gives him a higher chance of "lucking it out" and with a bit of luck the location is not convenient so he can blame surf for not showing up. As mentioned before: your (Bill Schamp) actions...

    Not impressed......

    thenewguy does not know what it is to run a classroom of 50 students learning SCO Unix and 40+ students learning Oracle forms on a 286 DX25 with two 300 Mb SCSI HD and 24 Mb of RAM. We were aghast when we got NT 3.51 and were recommended 32MB of RAM to run it, those were the days. OS2 in...

    Desktop on the floor

    never liked all these fans and the noise they are producing. if you have got some spare cash then you may want to investigate "silent computing", some of them have heatpipes to the sides that act as cooling fins. The upshot of this is that there are no openings and the machine is "sealed". So...

    TWS Help

    FWIW In another posting of me today I related how my late father instilled a rigorous backup / recovery regime in me. This TGM experience only reinforces the wisdom of that. Similarly he mentioned that if one is having serious money on the line then it is best to have two machines: one in...
