    Microsoft and why did i do it?

    This is why my late father instilled on me to have a good backup / restore regime. He did a backup immediately after the "fresh install". Then whenever he needed to make modifications he would do a restore and then apply the changes. Afterwards make another backup. So even after using the...

    POLL - Futures: How do you determine the trend?

    10K only? What, are you afraid of slippage? With your "perfect" system you should by now be trading the max number of contracts allowed. Why not trade 500 contracts with your pidlingly system? Ah, I know, because you cannot. And we all know why. Maria

    Perhaps true in most of the cases but not all of the cases. In our case you could not be more mistaken. Keep on dreaming with the numbers and systems game. Maria

    Few security tips on computer systems.

    Will have to , having studied electronics and robotics. Unfortunately your statement is incorrect since there will be a series / parallel circuit between the coil(s) and the capacitors used at the entry of the UPS's switching power supply. Which has as a result that when the right high...

    Few security tips on computer systems.

    Basically if you have a PC then you can set it in such a way that it asks for a password for logging on when you have booted up. Under XP: go to Control Panel, User Accounts , Pick a Task => "change the way users log on and off" and untick "Use the Welcome screen". You will also need to set...

    Few security tips on computer systems.

    ZoneAlarm has a lot of incompatibility. Better to use a hardware based firewall with NAT and statefull inspection firewall (SIF). Your machine will run snappier too (less load). Threw out ZoneAlarm years ago in favour of sysgate personal firewall. (less problems) But that went too when I...

    Few security tips on computer systems.

    Politely disagree. A UPS is more often than not a switched power supply and if set behind a surge protector the surge protector can actually do more damage than good. Too much inductance just before the UPS.... Maria

    Few security tips on computer systems.

    Where ever did you get that idea from that this is not a hoax? Have you ever opened up your laptop or are you just going by some bullshit on the web? You are just discrediting yourself with such nonsense. Another naive armchair specialist who believes everything (s)he reads. Maria

    Odds Czar: Simple Biases in the Futures Markets 2005

    To get towards Jessie Livermoore type results one needs a bit more than a mechanical system. In addition a mechanical system is lagging. It is not 100% adaptive and therefor has a limited lifespan. Maria The Amazing Human Mind I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht...

    The death of Microsoft

    Yes, I know. I had a brief stint at Computer Associates (CA) and that company really was into this. It looked good on the books and you could put money on it that the founder would do a play on the sharemarket because of the acquisition. Pretty smart way of milking a company without...

    The death of Microsoft

    May I play devil's advocate too? Yes, pretty, pretty please.... I can remember the very, very same argument many years ago. It was Lotus and WordPerfect (what? who? where are they now?) versus this little upstart with Word and Excel (which products were just a joke in comparison). Windows...

    The death of Microsoft

    I have worked for one of the big 5 accounting companies when they decided that they wanted a piece of the IT consulting business. Unfortunately the consultants seem to be more of the category "bullshit artists" than real competent specialists. "Shooting the messenger" was more common than...

    The death of Microsoft

    Well, if the USD is dropping in value and the price in Euros stays the same then their revenue in dollars looks to go up but in fact is going down. Figures are there to be manipulated. As Micro$hit already acknowledged Linux is a threat to them . M$ had to do big concessions in Thailand where...

    The death of Microsoft

    Must be 10 years or more ago that I last used Magic. Now that was before Java and Linux had become a common knowledge. (I personally had not heard the word Java at the time and Linux was still only two years old and running on a 386 40 Mhz with 4Mb RAM) I built in one week an application (help...
