Wow...we sure did jump above it today...been a while since we were that far north of it.

Check it out on Aussie...AU. Looks nice on M5. Bulletproof double bottom. If that gave way, was thinking of closing my longs.
give some time she might open her ---- shy ---

"Moody's Puts UBS On Downgrade Review Due To 'Weakness In Risk Controls'"

I wonder if Moody's is so arrogant that they don't understand how incompetent this decision makes them sound. Particularly if a bank has capital market activities, but even if they don't, the risk controls are a central issue in the analysis of that institution.

The Fed doesn't regulate much of importance any more, but they still regulate the state chartered banks that are members of the Federal Reserve. That includes a few big ones: SunTrust is one, and BoNY was; I don't know about Mellon offhand, but the combination probably still is. If one of them wants to do something in capital markets, they need Fed approval. The review always centers on: guess what? the risk controls.

For Moody's to say this about UBS now says more about them than it says about UBS. I'm appalled. But, alas, not surprised.

Question for the hardware geeks: Notebook seems totally dead with the replaced keyboard in place; no lights, no spin, no nothing. Motherboard? Didn't think the liquid got through the keyboard back plate, but maybe via the fan?
Late reply...sorry. Not even sure if someone did reply...I missed a bunch and didn't go back.

Spills I've had to deal with in all kinds of electronic equipment...from mixing consoles to computers: Water, beer, wine, Coke etc. Never milk! But...number one enemy of electronics (apart from fire...gravity etc.)...liquids. Smoke and dust are slow killers.

Could the milk have gotten through the back-plate? Sure...via fan, or any other possible entry. If it was at all wet...and you applied power, you could have fried components.

Water is the easiest thing to deal with. Procedure would be...remove power...open device. Carefully dry any visible signs of water. Let the device sit for dayyyys...until you think there is no possible way that any water could not have completely evaporated...then wait 48 more hours. Apply power...hope for the best. 99 times out of 100, everything will be fine.

Anything other than water NEEDS to be cleaned...very well. I would recommend the highest concentration Isopropyl Alcohol you can get. Start cleaning asap. I would imagine milk would go kind of crusty as opposed to sticky like sodas, beer etc. Should be easy to clean, but must be done well. Isopropyl will evaporate quickly, so you can clean several times in a day...allowing it to dry in between. When clean...onto the shelf...48 hours...apply power and hope for the best. Lower success rate than water, but odds are still very high that damage will be minimal.

Biggest thing with liquids...must be dry as a bone before power is applied. Electricity and liquids combined do not get on well with electronics.

Hope it works out, Q. Sorry if that was long-winded, elementary, or that you've already spoken with someone else...or are back surfing pr0n already...or pulled your hard drive and ram and hit the trash (recycle) with the rest.

I tried to explain the milk thing to him, I hope he understands...

On the water thing, throw the bitch into the freezer overnight, if there is water on it, it will be gone. Once it warms back up to room temp, hit it with the Booster cables and SHAZAM!

Sure the computers fucked, but ya get one hell of a light show...

Lessons learned

A word on water damage: when I was a freshmen in high school I worked 16 hours per weekend for 9 months to buy a gorgeous Fender tube amp. When I was in my second year of college I fell asleep with a half full can of beer on a table, which happened to be located next to my amp.

I woke up and the can had fallen (most likely my girlfriend's cat...bastards both of them) onto the input for the cable and emptied inside my precious amp.

So what did I do? I cranked that mother fucker up to 11 and blue sparks arced back and forth across the top. Rock and roll, hasn't worked since.
