I don't have to pay a fee-hungry broker. After all, brokers just make you broker.:p
I use the discount direct access Interactive Brokers (developer note: they have a great API for hooking into their flexible trading platform. Even Python bindings.)
And yes, "constantly trading on these things" is a great idea. It's called active trading. Stocks fluctuate, rise and fall through the day. I can take immediate advantage of multiple momentum movements within the day, instead of waiting (and tying up capital) for months or years for a stock to slowly wind its way up on the long term. And that $500 profit is in my pocket at the end of the day, outside the risk of bad after-market news wiping out my profits during the next morning panic. Plus, compounding daily accelerates my wealth.
Talking about news, I take it with a grain of salt. Usually the market has already corrected from rumours and early birds well ahead of the official press being released. Sometimes a stock will drop on the release of "good" news as the early birds dump the stock and run to the bank with their profits.
Anyway, getting to the article. I use the TraderZone trading system. Full disclosure: I work for TraderZone. Instead of a black box computer generating many complicated rules, we developed the system using the opposite approach. The president of TraderZone, a human being, observed, experimented, and used real money to discover very specific repeatable buy and sell signals. For example, moving average crosses and support and resistance zones are strong indicators. These rules were automated into a computer program, since a computer can scan thousands of stocks in real-time. a little faster than a human. Score one for the computer. Coloured indicators and green arrows show the status of the formulas and make "trading at a glance" possible. The more green on a line, the better the pick. When it's red, it's time to sell. It's not automated trading yet, but when you do what the computer tell you, you WILL make money. These formulas have been market tested since 2003.
TraderZone also provide longer term stock picks, called the BuyZone Review, which are generated by a human-tweaked computer formula.
I still have to glance at the intraday charts to confirm the computer's results and time entry and exit points. But our vision is to change the future of trading.
Steinbach Credit Union is my home bank, so it was interesting to hear how they set this up back in 2003.
SCU has a second branch located in Winnipeg. Data is constantly synchronized between the two sites providing a physical disaster recovery solution and a convenience for customers, as loan information, etc is always up-to-date so it doesn't matter which branch you visit. (People from Steinbach often visit Winnipeg for shopping and movies). As opposed to paying $70,000 per month for 3rd party leased lines, or $1 million to lay their own fibre, SCU found the cost-effective solution to create their own private wireless network. SCU also uses the direct link for email, VoIP, and streaming security cameras which provides additional bandwidth and long-distance savings.
The towers are full-duplex and shoot a narrow microwave beam which is almost impossible to intercept 100 feet above ground and data is encrypted "2^48 power" and apparently not affected by the weather. <<insert Canadian weather joke>>
SCU won the silver medal in the SearchStorage.com Spring 2003 Storage Innovator awards competition for their innovative wireless SAN setup.
Here are more article links with details and diagrams of the setup and equipment used.
There is a drop down menu of all tabs complete with full titles from a button on the right side of the tab bar. And it's flush with the edge of the window when maximized--yay Fitts' law!
You'll be glad to hear the mouse wheel does indeed scroll through an overflowing tab bar.
I've been using Firefox 2.0 daily builds and Thunderbird 2.0 alpha along side the stable versions for quite some time using PortableApps.com. They are an entirely self-contained directory separate from your regular install.You can even run PortableFirefox from a CD so make sure to turn on the disk cache, otherwise performance is slow.
Firefox's auto incremental updates work great, plus it remembers your tabs so after the restart I'm right where I left off. I'm enjoying the built-in spell check--right now in fact. Firefox's reopen recently closed tabs feature on the renamed History menu is a life saver. I just accidentally closed this tab after checking that my links worked and Firefox brought it back complete will all form information. Google Suggest in the search box rocks.
The RSS feed summary page is cool and has support for Simple List Extensions. Check out a sample here: Jeff Bezos's Wish List. The ability to subscribe using your chosen feed reader is nice.
The tab bar is interesting. It changed to a grey gradient from a lighter, whiter washed out look a few builds ago. The grey doesn't match well with the Windows XP light tan gradient toolbars and the overflow arrow on the side of the tab bar are too faint to be noticeable. The list all tabs drop down on the right side is great though. I guess Mozilla has reached their goal of making the active tab better distinguished.
Generally, it seems to me that memory usage is lower than 1.5, even with 4 windows with 10+ tabs each.:-)
Oh, trust me, its a hacking CD. Hackers always use miniCDs. They just look cooler than full sized CDs.
I can see it now... In Matrix3, Trinity pulls out a miniCD and holds it in front of the camera. The shimmering glow of the miniCD sends awwws through the audience. Trinity inserts the miniCD and..
L.A.S now booting...
appears on the screen. A couple hard core geeks stand up and cheer.
Could you see that scene done with a full sized CD? No, it just would not be as cool.
He did not submit the story as Anonymous Coward! The authorities have already arrested him and installed the iTrip in one of their own police cruisers.
Final Fantasy XI sort of has this. When you select from a menu of phrases built into the game (really useful if you are playing on a console without a keyboard) players will see the translated version.
Simple system but it works.

One site that has not changed is
www.sco.com, where people continue to delight in the irony of SCO using the operating system whose deployment they are seeking to restrict.
Maybe now that IE has been dropped on the Mac and Safari/Konquorer will be in more popular demand, more websites will be interested in web standards instead of "Designed only for IE".
Oh, wait...Mac and Linux are 0.001% of the market. So much for popular demand.
Bittorrent is a great idea. So is Slashdot subscriptions. By the time I get to read the story the subscribers will have finished downloading which means there will be plenty of seeds for me.
Downloading movies with BitTorrent is nothing new. People have been downloading movies by other means for at least three years. Simply because BitTorrent is new and popular, is this suddenly an issue that needs to be addressed? The answer is no. There is nothing here more serious than downloading The Matrix from Kazaa. In fact, it might be even less of a problem. After all, the download speed of Kazaa (67 KB/s) is faster than the download speed of BitTorent (35 KB/s).
Take a look at Media Player Classic. It's a great little player modelled after the great little MS Media Player v6. Launches fast, playlist, plays DVDs and video from a video capture card.
Maybe Antec does not consider air filters to be an important feature, but the SLK3700AMB does have a washable air filter. It's hidden in the mechanical drawing and the manual on page 4.
I like this case but the power supply and the 120mm fan both blow resulting in negative pressure.
I agree. I have my Antec SLK3700AMB, the case in question, mounted on top of a sturdy work boot box just so it doesn't vacuum my rug for me. I love this case and it has all your requirements, including a washable air filter. Simplely looking on Antec's website at the drawing or manual will tell you that, even if it just window screening.
I usually clean the filter every 2 or 3 weeks and blow out the fans every 2 months. I once cleaned out the vaccum in front of my computer when it was on. Good thing for the filter because that big 120mm fan would of pulled in all the dust. Instead the filter caught all the dust and it looked like a dryer filter full of lint.
Of course vacuuming the basement would help cut down on the dust just a litle bit.

There goes my chances at winning the Dr. Who in UK contest. Odds don't look so good anymore with the entire Slashdot crowd signing up.
Exactly. Because to assume...
...just makes an ASS out of U and ME.
Ummmm.. check the date on that article. This happened 2 1/2 weeks ago. I thought this was a NEWS site.... Oh right, I shouldn't make such assumptions.
Firefox's software update says it will *periodically* check for updates. I think it's every two weeks.
Patience is a Virtue (but maybe it shouldn't be for important security updates).
If you thinik MapQuest is good...check out Maporama.
they've de-emphasized the free codec download, but it's still there.
Much like the free RealOne player has been hiding in a corner of the download page for a long time now.
Or try finding older versions or a linux version of the player. Good luck!!

There is a customizable user-agent switcher plugin for Firebird with built in defaults including: IE6, Netscap 4.8, Opera 7.11.
Final Fantasy XI sort of has this. When you select from a menu of phrases built into the game (really useful if you are playing on a console without a keyboard) players will see the translated version. Simple system but it works.
