You'll likely get the BSOD with the different hardware. Even moving a hard drive directly to a new PC with same hardware isn't 100% successful.

Cell booster. You can get them from your carrier if it is a company account or a third party.

re: Exchange Gurus...

If you had an exchange server of your own there are several options but since it's hosted you're left with outlook recovery methods.

Recovery options in outlook will hold for 30 days by default. I've also had to use shadow copy on the OST file to bring a copy back to an earlier date and hook it up to another profile.

Same. VNR is killing me. Luckily it's one of my smaller positions.

re: VPN and Routers flashed with DD-WRT - updated with solution

Posted by therabidsmurf on 1/19/15 at 8:43 am to Spirit of Dunson

DD-WRT firmware upload is decently straight forward but then again I'm a network engineer... You need to make sure your router is compatible. You can check here LINK

Here are some install instructions LINK

Be aware that this will void all warranties and will run a risk of bricking the router making it a paper weight.

You will not find a new router with DD-WRT installed. Last I checked they didn't exist and a quick google search didn't pull up anything. It will have to be used with someone already loading the firmware.

I flashed an old Linksys 54G box and never updated in 3 years. Really optional for the most part. Usually minor security fixes or new features which you probably won't need.

re: What's your stock portfolio

Posted by therabidsmurf on 1/19/15 at 8:21 am to djmicrobe

FCX is spread across the commodity market with gold, copper mining operations. They are also involved in some oil and iron operations. I personally like the fact that they are diversified across commodities. They have a good dividend. 75% dividend growth over 5 years. Under 20 they are a steal in my book.

re: What's your stock portfolio

Posted by therabidsmurf on 1/15/15 at 9:57 am to Northwestern tiger

XOM, ATVI, RKUS, VUG, AFL, VNR, DIS, BKS, FCX, PSEC

FCX is a new addition this week. RKUS I buy in any time it goes below 9.

In IT and think RKUS is a solid long term even though it's been super volatile.

Was doing pretty well until oil crapped....

Oil, Copper and Iron Down, How far will they go? What stocks to get?

Posted by therabidsmurf on 1/14/15 at 12:17 pm

Title pretty much says it all. With oil, copper and iron down when would be a good time to buy in and what stocks would you go with looking at long term.

I have been looking at FCX, VNR, CBI, APA, XOM

All of them have smashed their previous 52 week lows with FCX dropping 13% thus far today. I was thinking to let them settle a week or two and jump but wanted to see what you guys think.

Thanks for any feed back!

ESPN hates the SEC because we went with CBS for a contract instead of them.

Sony cut the prices so low on the PS3 that initially they were losing $200 a console...also early reports of console failures and the initial high cost...alsothe loss of multiple console exclusives have hurt the ps3 severely

re: Is Christian Bale really a great actor?

Posted by therabidsmurf on 12/18/08 at 2:16 pm to lsusportsman2

Bale is a great actor. His ability to cover his Wales accent really blew my mind. Didn't even realize he was welsh until I had already seen several of his films. He was pretty damn good in The Machinist, American Psycho, Dark Knight and Equilibrium. The guy without a doubt is devoted to his roles. His transformation in The Machinist left him with some pretty nasty kidney damage if I remember correctly.

I think in this case our senior leadership and disipline would have carried the day on that one...not enough time for our co DCs to screw us there...though a few more bad play calls may have come down...

re: ATT&T

Posted by therabidsmurf on 12/15/08 at 9:33 am to GatorTrunk

My old boss was having this problem as well. He called his dad who had worked for AT&T for 30 years. His dad told him that they do this to see if you will overpay or fight it. If you pay they make more cash and if you fight it they just put more stress on their low paid customer service people. Don't know if I buy this story but figured I'd relay it on...
