Bruce,
If your machine works for you, don't do it.
Here's the list of changes reference ...

I wanted some of those changes, as they actually applied to what I'm doing with the machine. YMMV.
rr
Ditto that. I installed it when it first came out. Zero issues.

Go to this thread and ask your question. Lots of helpful, smart people there.

Fox,
You know the answer to your question.
Whether the party in power dresses left or dresses right, we're getting screwed.
They're both the man in front of the curtain.
Time to go unwind my shorts ...
rr
I keep seeing this ... and wondering what China's practical alternative to 'playing along' is.
I don't see one that doesn't involve a lot of dead Chinese people.
Best regards,

Fair enough. Let us know how much heat you manage to get from a 65W TDP CPU.
That'd be cool ...
G'nite,
rr
Why bother / spend for another cpu cooler?
At least, wait till you like / hate the Intel one in practice? It's not that bad.
If you need to spend money, buy quieter fans for your case.
rr
Starting to wonder about us.
I've been married 34 years this June, to my high school sweetheart. We met in 1969, which was a long time ago ...
TGIF. It's Date Night!!
rr
Thank you for the new forecast.
My shorts will thank you on Monday as well.
Have a great weekend,
rr
Dude, TMI.
Funny, though. Me, I sleep with a teacher's aide.
HAGW,
rr
I only take trade advice from the voices inside my head.
All of them.
And, 2 paid guru's.
And, 2 mechanical systems.
It's already crowded in here ...
rr
Thank you for the SPX translation.
But, if I set up charts like yours, not only will I do even less at work, I won't get to tell you how useful your stuff is.
We don't want that, do we?
LOL, da Boiz, et al ...
Keep up the good work.
Got anything in a 27? Or, do I go Fish?
Sorry, long week ...
SnP 500 1 minute RSI(14) curling over and diving at 50. We're going down.
TGIF,
rr
Thank you for your 4-cast.
Since I'm seriously short, and you're 4-cast is a contrary indicator right about now, might you consider changing your mind?
LOL, GLT, HANW, TGIF,
rr
Agreed. $MID seems more 'real world' to me, $SPX seems too heavily influenced by hot sectors - banks, energy.
Dunno exactly why I think that though ... hmmmmmm...
rr
$MID has a much clearer down channel, and doesn't look like it needs much wave structure at all to keep drilling down.
rr
And, the SnPee is flat since lunch time ...
What a day.
rr
O/T ? Maybe ...
Hey, Dude,
How's work holding up? Hope that you are well.
The hidden trick here may be the network. All that smart stuff's cute, but the 'how does this work?' problem isn't the device, per se. It's the network (how the info / commands go back and forth), and the actuators (just what does "remote management" mean?). For paranoid example ...
Freeman said that using "smart" solutions would enable home thermostats and large appliances to communicate wirelessly or over existing power lines to help consumers conserve energy.
How works that? Big Blue Brother is cutting my voltage? Raising the temperature on my beer? Setting my home to a comfortable 56 degF?
Cringley had something on this a while ago. Have Google GIVE the utilities free meters, include a router in each one, use the utility wires for command/control, and become an ISP, all at once. Last mile my butt ...
Be well,
rr
All of my experiences with IBM were that they used technology to get customers to pay them enduring cash streams. The bigger the better.
The server / Solaris stuff is a customer base generating enduring cash streams, hence my perspective.
I worked with Sun at the time Java was born, and have never seen a way to monetize it. Technically cool, but financially an enigma at best.
Best regards,
rr
Two more signs there's not much going on:
1) Biggest issues facing server farms / data centers are electricity and HVAC. How's that for high tech !!
2) Industry response is 'virtualization' - multiple virtual machines on one hardware instance - and progressively more powerful computation with lower electrical / thermal issues. Doing more with less.
Doldrums. Boo hiss ...
rr
Sun designs CPU chips ('Sparc') that it has manufactured and assembled into computers used as servers. Sun develops and supports an operating system called Solaris, a UNIX variant, that'll run on damned near anything. It's always been 'high end'.
That's what it sells and makes some money on.
On the hardware side, it can't compete with Intel's progress / cash / margins. On the software side, both Windows and Linux, a UNIX variant, are eating it's lunch.
I'd suspect there's a large overlap between IBM and Sun's customer base. Killing off Sparc sooner than later is worth something too.
rr
That was, and remains, a great movie ...
rr
uuuummmmmmmmmmmm ....
some people will touch anything? some people here come to mind
what's the question again? who are the 2 who bookmarked the stranger?
and, it matters why?
Let's get some Mac fanBoys around here and see who does what ..
rr
I'm not a lawyer, but the terms of the contract(s) for the bonus payments would determine where in the liquidation chain the bonus payouts ranked. Not true necessarily that failure == no bonus.
Pigs write solid contracts ...
rr
There are lots of technical miracles on the horizon - energy, biotech, medical. Any one of them, hit big, will be enough to rouse animal spirits as the Midway Battle did.
Just need to live thru to it.
rr
Do you mean a relatively flat trading range? I'm thinking SnPee 600 - 1000, but you sound 'narrower'.
Don't take that personally

I have a Compaq Presario V6000CTO laptop. It's guts have been replaced by hPaq 3 full times, and it seemed to be running OK. It's been my test bed for Windows 7, and I was OK with that. It's an older laptop, and it works OK.
Never being one to let a working machine alone, I replaced the stock 60 GB Fujitsu hard drive with a G.Skill 64GB SSD (model # FM-25S2S-64GB), Got it for a little over $100 on sale (Shell Shocker) at Newegg a month or so ago. Installed Windows 7 on it, in about 15 minutes.
It 'feels' as responsive as my desktop machine (E6750 Core2Duo, 150GB Raptor boot drive), and I find that amazing. Hard drive rates 6.3 on the Windows 7 performance score.
Makes me wonder about building a new machine around an i7 ...
rr
Yes, and payback is a bitch.
Although, I'm not sure I answered the question you asked ...
OK, I'll take a shot.
Let's be simple, and say that wealth = cash plus assets.
Everything that you write about gets called into question because of the requirement to value assets as cash. That is what mark-to-market is all about. Some examples:
Fraud: I take your cash and give you an asset which is not immediately translatable back into cash.
Madoff: He takes your cash, and gives you a claim on a future stream which cannot exist. (see Fraud).
Assets Marked Up x times: See Fraud. Although, if you bought an asset not worth the cash, there's an issue on both sides of the transaction.
And, on and on. Overpaying for an asset is the requirement to put cash into fraud. The cash still, and will always, exist. The cashable value of the asset, well, not so much.
Separate out cash and assets as wealth.
Take the money and run ...

Tim,
I live in Upstate Arctic NY, so I'm kind of fond of 'Cuse, especially versus CT.
The game ended at 1:22 am local time, so I'd say they lost Friday
Have a great weekend,

Many people are of the opinion that, because their systems are behind routers, and they use NAT,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation
that they're somehow protected from all things bad. It's not so.
SOME routers have some kinds of packet inspection to eliminate some baddies, but the updates need to take place all the time, just like everything else.
I agree with wccaca - Norton 2009, and the occasional malwarebytes - is all most anyone needs.
rr
I do remember that you wanted feedback / evidence that people read your stuff.
LOL, and all that.
Best regards,

Think / type / typo ... all the same
Newly,
You never did mention if you'd tried a wired connection.
Inquiring minds and all ...

Aj,
It depends who wrote the calls.
Think like a criminal. Was it perhaps J.Q. Public? Covered calls, income generation, the usual reasons.
Just wondering ...
I don't. I've still got some SCSI cables, but I think the last Mac I threw out was a Duo Dock ...
Liked the experience, hated the price and hardware and FanBoys. More money darkSide too.
To each their own.

John,
NM is always hedged, and even when he's long/short biased, I've not been able to tell if it was deliberate or 'tween buy/sell points.
If you can figure out why he does, what he does, when he does it - enter/exit a position - I'd be happy to know.
I can read the teachers notes, but I'd be damned to pass the test.
Best luck,
rr
OK, talk all you want about Rose and better parts of that relationship, but marrying Chrome is just ... kinky.
Latest version of FireFox - 3.0.7 - is hella faster than priors.
rr
I don't want to remember how much money I put into my original Mac, Mac 512, Mac Plus, original external SCSI drives, memory, printers ...
Makes going over to the Dark Side so much more financially rewarding.
