They will automatically make use of dual processors simply because each one has at least two threads of execution - at a minimum, one to service the datafeed inflow and another for the charting. Quote.com uses a separate inprocess datafeed processing thread. eSignal and DTN use a separate...

Bottom line is that unless you're running a boat load of intense disk intensive operations (which is doubtful for most user applications, especially if you had a sizable memory footprint), you won't see any difference. My friend's got a 200 GB IDE drive on his VAIO that he uses when he's...

I believe the CBOE has a similar licensing arrangement with Standard & Poors - so at least the OEX (S&P 100) and the SPX (S&P 500) index options would be exclusive to them - just like the S&P futures and their related options are exclusive to the CME.

Could also be an issue that the charging circuits on some laptops don't do as good a job as others. On some laptops, leaving your computer plugged in most of the time can actually permanently reduce the storage capacity of the battery. I saw that problem a couple of years ago with the...

I believe the Nvidia chipset used on the MX440 is dual monitor capable, but not all boards built with it are. It's pretty simple to verify though - if you've got two RGB outputs on the back of the card, the card is dual monitor capable. If you have only one monitor output, it's not.

Be sure you're not confusing the low end LiveCharts with the Qcharts feed. Haven't seen any problem with my Qcharts connection today.

NoMoreOptions - Sounds like your misunderstanding here is that you think that ranting about trading (or specifically in your case - delusions of some kind of conspiracy to take your money) is the same thing as trading. Ranting about trading related subjects is Chit Chat - NOT a discussion...

They have a licensing agreement with Dow Jones & Company for options on DIAmonds. They also have exclusive rights to options on the Dow (DJX options) and five other Dow Jones-based products (DTX, DUX, DJR, ECM, and MUT). Not a thing illegal involved - just business.

There are a couple places that sell USB drivers for Windows NT - don't know if they're compatible with what you want to hook up, but run a Google on "USB Windows NT" and check them out. But it's like all other software - if you continue to use a version that's two complete product cycles old...

Hardly seems likely that Oracle's going to disappear in the next couple of years - but don't base it on a convention. The last user convention NextStep had was flying too - but it still failed in the market place. If Steve Jobs hadn't gone back to Apple and then used Apple's money to buy his...

The CBOE has been advertising it in some mags. Here's their link for info: http://www.cboe.com/AboutCBOE/Spotlight/CBOEdirectHTS/index.asp

If you pay the realtime exchange fee it does

What's with the ed4.net link in the previous post? That's some kind of email marketing website. Here's the link to quote.com's normal signup path via their finance.lycos.com registration server that you get to by clicking "subscribe now" on quote.com's website Just type in quote.com's...

They've got an ad in one of the trading mags - all you have to do is call them and tell them you're using their promotional code "tryqcharts" to get the free trial.

hapaboy - The usual anti-spyware/adware stuff didn't clean everything in this case so I ended up removing the remainder by hand

The spyware/trojan horse angle sounds the most likely cause. I cleaned up a friends computer and their son's computer a couple of weeks ago - both were infected with multiple viruses and multiple trojan horses. Two weeks later and their son's computer is again grinding to a halt. Took a...

All the other reasons already noted are correct, however the most fundamental reason firms don't look at quant candidates who can't program (you're so called "perfect fit" vs. just a good quant) is because they don't have to - they can find people with all the skills. If you can't program...

Did you connect a different monitor to it to see if the video adapter has a general problem or if its something to do with only connecting that one monitor?

Here's the link to the Channel 5 website and their web synopsis of that report: http://www.nbc5.com/news/2213144/detail.html Have never done the BBY rebates, but I've had a bunch of rebates for different things for stuff purchased at Circuit City and have received all of them - can take up...

Just a thought - But when accessing ET, there's a message that shows how many "new" messages are in my Inbox. Is this unread messages or new within some time period? I don't access ET every day, sometimes not for lots of days depending on what's going on and it turns out I had a bunch of...
