Silver, it's Soundmax High Definition, but it's not recognized as such in Device Driver. And control panel does not recognize any "sound device." Thanks.

silver, off topic here, but I downgraded my Intel Penyrn chipset equipped laptop from Vista to XP, and I lost my audio. It's not the drivers - I downloaded those from Lenovo's website for XP and they aren't helping. Thanks.

I'm not a computer engineer or chip/wafer designer, but it would seem that at a time when Moore's Law appears to be losing some steam, AMD has less ground to make up in order to catch Intel in the area of Intel's greatest strength; mobile CPUs. Since this is basically a duopolistic industry...

Hedgefund, I disagree with almost everything you have an opinion on, but at least you're not an asshole most of the time even when your responses are less than intellectually "meaty" (although they sometimes are "meaty"). I give you credit for that.

There are people I agree with nearly all the time that are fantastic. There are people I disagree with nearly all the time that are fantastic. There are people who I literally agree with 50% of the time who are fantastic. I don't know who the worst poster is, but I know it's the MOST...

...and that China, Dubai, Brazil, India, Russia, UAE, Taiwan, Korea and just about anywhere BUT the U.S. are the places to invest one's money - to capitalize on the huge economic boom to follow (or follow through), and reap mind-boggling returns. Here's a story in Bloomberg about the Russians...

I have been up 60k in a day, and down almost that in a day. This endeavor isn't measured by what your portfolio looks like on any given 'day,' but when you are in a position of being able to choose to book profits (or losses). Margin is a dangerous game that I don't play. I'm not as big a...

When the Levee Breaks.

Silver, whether MS gets Vista right, as the ultimately did with SP2 XP, remains to be seen. SP1 for Vista was a joke. All I know is I tried Vista on a very fast Penryn system with 4GB of dual channel memory, and it was STILL slow and annoying to use. There weren't all drivers available for...

That's a good point. But only for non-domestically produced ags, and even for imported ags, the proportions are out of whack. Oil has gone from $55 to $112 a barrel in the last 7 years. And $45 of that increase has been in the last two years. Corn, which was trading at sub-$2 levels, is...

You mean, maybe or maybe not in my hood, at least not yet.

As much as I'd like to see Tibetans free, Ron Paul is the only non-imbecile in the whole of Congress to realize you just might not have leverage to try and force a country you're borrowing money from to finance an ongoing war to do what you wish it would do, and that symbolic votes are a waste...

Vista sucks, badly. Stick with XP. It's fast, stable, and not encumbered by unnecessary crap that hogs tons of memory and needlessly uses system resources constantly. http://www.crn.com/software/198702242 http://blip.tv/file/340692

Just my absolute humble opinion, but I think there a lot of greedy ass f**ks that are going to wish they considered taking profits in most commodity sectors now, when we look back at this time frame. By the way, there's nothing wrong with greed. There is something wrong with irrationality...

Depends are where you are. I know Pabst, whom I respect, will disagree with me, but I have buku respect for Robert Shiller, and if you look at the price curve of residential and commercial properties over the last 100 years, the last 8 have been insane and unprecedented, and if you just do a...

You can buy the options, or do a bull call spread, but why, when the stock is trading at these levels? Mvic, chalk it up to lack of time, but I'm assuming that the premium on call options (%) on this would be pretty high? Had a limit order in to buy another 1,000 shares, but it didn't get...

I don't think the 99% of U.S. Businesses, global or domestic, that are HURT, and not helped, by this madness, as consumer dollars are sucked up on basic staples and not spent in their places of business, are going to sit idly by and not get in their legislators ears about this situation, do you...

Here's my pm response to someone just so everyone knows where I stand on this (on a day where there's nothing but red across the board): Honestly, I am holding a lot more shares than that. And I'm not worried. That's either a sign of major complacency on my part (which would be a...

They should play that on 60 Minutes so that Grandma and Grandpa get pissed and get AARP and the Grey Panthers in an uproar and scare the bejeezus out of their congressman/senators.

Hey RM. I have been watching Sprint just drift lower and lower, and then lost track, and then noticed again when it made a big dump to under $6 about 10 days ago. The massive debt they took on buying Nextel, given the competitive landscape of the wireless market, is what has kept me from buying...
