Hey, Kids, get a room ...
Anyhow, anyone here playing with / using Windows Home Server? I've got Connector issues I cannot resolve, and could use some (more) help.
Thanks,
rr
aj,
Still wondering ...
Are supplies of materials required to be kept for delivery against futures contracts (or other speculative vehicles)?
rr
aj,
Apart from the plausibility of the assumption, wouldn't commodity prices "go down" if the dollar were to rally?
If there's a dollar rally, that is, there's less to the 'global slowdown' argument.
Just a thought,
rr
yeah, well, live and learn.
spent too much of my time working for a living, and that corp exec stuff does take a lot of time. was fun, but rather transient, all things considered.
good thing I'd already made my nut on Iomega and Qualcomm back in the good old days ...

Jerry,
Thanks. Will do.
Hope they don't still remember that I used to subscribe. And, that they still like you
Have a great weekend,

JO,
Is there a list I can get to of all the BP charts that Dorsey Wright generates?
TIA,

Perhaps a more serious reply ...
On failure, you might be able to check the router to see if the laptop has an IP address leased. No connection + leased address = your laptop lost it's IP mind. First bet is a software problem. Reinstall drivers. If that doesn't work, blame the hardware.
If there is no IP address on the router leased to the laptop, check the laptop to see if it's got an IP address (cmd: ipconfig). In this case, I'd bet against the router.
In any case, rebooting the router or the laptop causes all new leases to be acquired (not to mention a fresh software driver load).
If you have another "stable, known good" machine (i.e. not a Compaq or HP), and it never loses it's connection, it's the laptop.
Good luck,
rr
My wife has a laptop which occasionally loses its wireless connection because Device Manager reports that the chipset on the mobo keeps disappearing. Repairing the connection usually works.
My suggestion is, if your laptop says "HP" or "Compaq" on the outside, it's defective.
rr
Many, many times, the so-called information put out by various groups is intended to prevent a 'run on the bank' type situation.
If predicting an unhappy future (hurricane, insolvency, credit crunch, Yankees folding in October) would cause that panic, you WILL NOT see it predicted.
Dunno what that means for how to deal with the info flow, other than to just watch the charts.
rr
(OT) Mish blog
I believe Mish has developed an audience who prefer to read the perspective he offers. I'm not claiming that his view of the future will come true or not. But Mish plays to a certain view of that future, and the audience.
How things will actually work out ... if we ever find someone who can actually predict correctly, I suspect we'll tell about it.
Good trading.

I live in Upstate New York, and HRC is our resident carpetbagging Junior Senator (behind Chuck Schumer ...).
If all the rest of the USA has to suffer, for us to get HRC out of NY state, well, so be it.
As long as all the alternatives suck, I don't feel that bad about it.
And, oh yeah, so this is an investment thread: NYC financial institutions are making much of the sub-prime stuff to assure a harsh economic end to the Bush administration for HRC to run against. I'm a bear thru the election, and then it gets out of hand ...
Just my $0.02, and if you wait a bit, it'll be $0.017 ...

Actually, you do have software that'll do a screen shot - one of the keys you can't find on your keyboard says "print screen". Press shift - that, and you'll get a copy of the screen on the clipboard.
As for keyboards, I use one of these in a dark room, no prob ...

Hey, that looks vaguely familiar ...
With a Zalman cooler on it, that CPU in my rig barely gets above room temperature.
Why two different graphics cards? Why that hard drive versus the 7200.10 Barracuda?
Good stuff. I hope you have great luck with it.

Hey, Surfer Dude ...
Got a parts list yet to share?
My machines been mostly stable for two weeks now, and I'm itching to break it.
Of course, my Chumby arrives soon, so my attention may be diverted

I recall, but only vaguely, that when LTCM went under, one of the problems they had was any orderly liquidation of assets, because they were known to be in trouble, and anyone who might buy would underbid. In addition there was some activity - I don't recall what - that was engaged in to make doing business more difficult for LTCM, in the hopes of eliminating them as a competitor.
That said, making a market for an SIV, say, from Citi, would result in low bids, not because of the inherent / thought to be cash flows from the assets, but because Citi's 'friends' would try to do them damage.
Mean game, but it does not speak to the value of the assets in question.
Just a thought. Not all wars have only two sides.

Tried System Restore, and it didn't do it, but it was a start.
It did wipe the slate clean for a number of installed apps, though, VS2005 one of them. Reinstalled it, and all the updates, and then repaired it. Problem seems gone now.
Thanks for the help. I'll try to keep breaking this machine in interesting ways ...
rr
Hey, here's a new one ...
I've got an update stuck - wants to unpack something, and it can't, so it just hangs around under rundll32, waiting for me to want to shut down. So, it can tell me rundll32's stuck and it's unpacking files.
And, naturally, when the machine restarts, it tries the install again.
Our little monster is named
Microsoft kernel-Mode Driver Framework Install-v1.5-WinXP.exe
and I suspect it tried / failed to install when I put Visual Studio 2005 on here.
Any ideas on how to make it stop / go away?
TIA,

When my town was last reappraised, my taxes were raised by about 300% first blush. I went to the 'informal' review, and felt the fool for doing so.
Rather than waiting for the more formal review, I hired a professional tax appraisal hired gun and went straight to court.
We 'won', and my taxes only went up about 150% ...
Many more battles like that, and my war is over.

My senior in high school daughter is playing the stock market game as well. She picked all Chinese stuff - no kidding - and is destroying the pack.
I asked her if she could go to cash, and wait out the game's end.
She thought that would be "unfair", smiled, and said she'd think about it.
Not too far from the tree ...

It would not surprise me to discover that the largest scam comes from local governments pressure on their property assessment contractors, for the express purpose of "keeping my tax rate flat" while jacking increasing amounts of property tax cash out of my pocket.
Nor would it surprise me that no state AG, or anyone else, will take the issue up in a court.
My local town supervisor sent out her political / town news thing last week, and bragged about the tax rate, while announcing the upcoming reassessment "to take advantage of the wonderful price appreciation of these past few years".

Here's where I'd defer to Bruce.
But, probably not format it, as delete the partition from it.

It has been my brief experience with Casper that it wants a mostly naked / non-bootable disk to use the first time. Then, it wants the same one over and over for reimaging the original.
I haven't figured out how to keep multiple images on the same drive.
Then again, I have issues getting a floppy drive to work ...

One of my accounts is all equity / all ETF, and I use trailing stops to guard positions, and hopefully, gains. When I get concerned about losing big gains, the stops get tighter. When I'm less concerned, the stops go back to 120% volatility measure.
I tightened the stops to 5% about 10 days ago, and have only gotten close to hit once - yesterday - on one position (VWO).
I'm not surprised by the big gap up today, because for whatever reason, I expect higher volatility. If it's all up, I'm OK with that especially ...

A muse and an epiphany all in one day, with coffee on top. Lucky guy.
This message msg# 17137 suggested the same - the screws are too long.
My working presumption is that is a highly likely correct diagnosis. And, if I ever get my home office back to the state where I'm caught up with my paperwork, have all the rebates done, can see my desk again (hell, can see my floor again), and am comfortable that the new built machine is stable (I'm not so, yet), then maybe I'll try the floppy fix.
Since I've only needed a working floppy drive for the F6 RAID driver load, and not at all over the past few years, this clearly falls into the 'technical curiosity' category.
Good news is that VISTA already had the drivers, just in case I want to touch that 3rd rail ...
Thanks for all the help,
rr
