Q. Does anyone know of a good software program where an employee can walk up to the front desk, clock in electronically on a computer we already have without the need for any cards or badges? And then do the same to clock out at the end of the day? Then an administrator would need to access the program on another networked computer at the end of the day to see a report on how many hours each employee worked? Anyone know a program like this or a place to look for one? Thanks!
A. I'm a computer programmer, but I have a better idea.
Give each of your employees their goals for the week, and then have them submit a status report at the end of the week. Don't be a Clock Nazi. They will hate you for it.
A good employee who is allowed to come in at 10 for a doctor's appointment and still leave at 5 will get as much work done as the other employees who came in at 8.

How do I connect my headphones and speakers to my laptop at the same time?
Q. Im currently using some DJ software and wondered if it was possible to use some headphones and speakers at the same time on my laptop? I've tried using a splitter for the headphone jack but this only reduces the sound through side of the headphones/speakers.
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

A. Hi yes
you need to get an audio amplifier with a separate monitoring output which is normal with a mixer desk.
the mixer desk takes the low level audio and the mixer has an output to the audio amplifier and speakers.
the mixer desk has a monitor facility which allows listening to what is playing and also allows for setting up of the next item in the que to play.
there simply is no cheap way to do this, sorry a mixer is the most important item in the chain.

What are the functions of the multiple monitor on a stock trader desk? what is the difference?
Q. Why do they need so many monitors to view charts and stuff and what source are they looking at ( any particular software) ??
the keyboard seems different too, where can i buy those and how much to buy all the equipments ?

A. It's quicker to have multiple displays than it is to switch between views as the eye can move faster than the computer can redraw. There's a tremendous advantage to having the extra display space. Stock trading isn't the only profession where multiple screens are in demand.
The software is likely to be specific to the exchanges that they are trading on and there's likely to be several different programs running some developed in house and some perhaps even the traders own bag of tricks. In it's heyday, Wallstreet would have one well paid systems administrator between two or three traders so that technical issues would not impede the traders. In the past, the computers were Unix based scientific workstations such as Sun and SGI, hence the system administrator and therefore had slightly different keyboard layouts than a PC. These days PC's are used as scientific workstations with Linux providing all the functionality of Unix and Windows starting to be a reasonable OS, of course, they're not limited to the computers at their desk, those displays could easily be of programs running on a number of servers in a machine room.
