Aphexcoil posted a very funny description of an ET MUD over at: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=433779#post433779

And that worked? You could use both computers on the net at the same time? Well, that's pretty surprising, both computers must have gotten IPs from the ISP. Are you sure you had a plain hub, and not a router/hub? The difference between hubs and switches is that a hub is like twisting all...

Yes. If you have one internet connection, then you either need a router to share it or configure a Windows machine (XP and Windows 2K can do internet connection sharing, I believe plus you need to NICs). A router will be faster tho.

Yes, you can use a switch without a router. Most folks who use a router at home for two things, primarily to share a net connection and secondly as a firewall. DLink makes fairly good switches IMO. But, you can get them for free (not including sales tax) if you look for deals. I used to...

Too late now, but next time consider a Lian-Li case. Built my first PC with an Enlight, then some friends talked me into trying a Lian-Li for my next. No more Enlight for me. Lian-Li's are better designed and precision built. Anyway, on to your problem. Are you sure your CPU fan is...

I've got 6 Samsung 191Ts. Plus one of the 21" CRTs while it's cold outside (helps keep my office warm, LOL). EDIT: And I don't run it at that high res any more. It's farther away from me, and it runs at only 1280x1040 now. I've gotten spoiled using the lower resolution on the Samsungs...

Basically because People Are Idiots. The Libs go before the pot-smokers (NARMAL or something, forget exactly what) and say "Folks should have the right to smoke whatever they want, as long as it's theirs." And the people cheer. Then they say "Folks should be able to own guns." And they boo...

Yes indeed, gratz to all the IMCL longs, wow. Last trade before the halt was 34, best bid right now is 43.91. Sweet.

If you guys do go into that, could you start a new thread, perhaps in Trading or Strategy Trading?

Anybody got a link where I can get the days 5 (or 10) most active S&P500 stocks? EDIT: Daily, that is.

When I ran CRTs, I had two trinitron 21" tubes at 1600x1200.

One thing I always wondered about that. To the space traveller, it appears as if Earth is blasting away at the speed of light, while his destination flies forward also at the speed of light. Shouldn't that mean that the "observer" in this case sees the Earth spend 10 years in travel...

Safe mode is OS level, not BIOS. It's a Windows boot command that allows you to run with the minimum amount of "stuff" like drivers and startup programs. You want to hit F8 as your hardware stuff is wrapping up the bootup, but before Windows starts to load. You should get a menu that gives...

Bah, we got past that stupid trick in the 70s. Forget the tin foil, and go with 2 inches of lead.

It won't matter much whether the GOP or the Dems are in control, both parties spend money like first wives on the way out. Until the bozos who pull the voting lever understand that spending money like water is bad, it ain't gonna stop. But it's gotten to the point that most of the USA belongs...

The market closes at noon, and Greenspan comes out of his hole. If he sees a shadow of inflation, we'll have six weeks of a bear market. :D

That's interesting as well. There was always something "weird" about calling that thing a podium that I could never quite put my finger on, until you explained this. Thanks. Our English Language has achieved an astonishing ability for expression by virtue of being extremely malleable...

It's clear that the world will not be free from terrorism unless either the world is very tyrannical and muslim, or very free. Our current mixed state is unstable, and we will move to one or the other.

Today I learned that the Pat's QB (Tom Brady) highlights his hair and carries a purse. :D
