    LCD Monitor Buying Help Needed

    Nope, just the opposite. I bought 5 OL, they were from Mexico and are not quite as good as the Korean one I bought from Best Buy.

    LCD Monitor Buying Help Needed

    I don't even notice mine. As a matter of fact, I'm looking for them now, and cannot find them. But, if you are concerned, then buy them locally. You can see the country of manufacture on the label on the box. Just get Korean ones.

    Sometimes I think that trading is a very bad job

    Paying somebody money to shovel your driveway and walk does not actually create value in the sense that the poster spoke. If one breaks into someone's house, robs them blind, then spends the loot on snow removal, has any wealth been created? And, this is not a job like a home inspector...

    Quiet PCs, XP pro versus home version

    Nope. Pro has a few more things, that's it.

    LCD Monitor Buying Help Needed

    Yep, I got bad pixels on the ones from Mexico. Got one monitor from Korea that is perfect. Yep, you can slide em up and down on the stand they come with. Dunno about walls, but the mounting plate on the back is standard (VESA?).

    Box

    Heh, not to be confused with the BOXer rebellion, which is what I first thought of. :D

    Hardware upgrade

    Check it. Hit CTRL-ALT-Delete and pull up the task manager. It has a tab called Performance, with a memory chart. Let it run for a bit and see how your mem usage goes. Mine tells me that 1 gig is plenty. EDIT: With TradeStation 7.1 (with a lot of data), IE, Outlook and Task Manager up...

    Hardware upgrade

    Yeppers. 1 gig is a bit more than most will need. For now, anyways.

    LCD Monitor Buying Help Needed

    Just cuz of the USB ports and speakers. The review makes it sound like the image isn't quite as good.

    MS Security Flaws

    "Personal and corporate firewalls typically block traffic on port 135, protecting those machines from exploitation." Since I'm running a router and BlackIce, I'm safe. :D I'd advise everybody to have a hardware firewall at least. Since I'm on cable and I got BlackIce for free, I have both...

    LCD Monitor Buying Help Needed

    One test is to sit in a very dark room and have an all white screen, and look for nonwhite pixels. Then test an all black screen and look for nonblack pixels.

    "date" in easylanguage

    Nope. 1030101 is 1/1/03. They tack that extra one on the front so you can get the expected results from comparing to dates in 1999. For example, suppose you had two dates, 1/1/99 in Variable1 and 1/1/03 in Variable2, and you wanted to see which was greater. If Variable1=990101 that would be...

    How safe are brokerage firms

    First you send the money, then you wonder if it's safe? I suspect you have your priorities reversed. Fortunately for you, IB is pretty safe (and probably Firstrade, but I never checked them out). From IB's website: Securities Account Protection Your total securities account equity...

    Explanation of market Drop on July 14, 2003

    Then why should the trades be busted? I'm not whining, nor did I have a position on during that drop. Nor am I saying that I know better than the folks who run Globex. I'm just trying to understand why they want to stand in the way of a market driven price movement. :confused:

    G200 Quad Card versus two dual-head cards (part II)

    I'm running 3 G450s and a GeForce4 4600. No problem with apps open across all screens or moving from one to the other under XP Pro, XP Matrox drivers and nVidia Geforce driver.

    LCD arms

    I bought three dual monitor stands from these guys (Ergotron). Pricey ($300 each), but I am happy with them.
