  1. Must be able to do what my excel spreadsheet does on Moneydance - Cross-Platform Personal Finance · · Score: 1

    I'm downloading now and hopeful that this one is ok..but in my experience none of them do what
    my simple excel spreadsheet does.

    I keep an excel spreadsheet that has a worksheet for every month of the year and all of my "guessed" expenses and income for every month. I can fast forward to 3 or 11 months out and see how much I should have in the bank at that time--I can input how much I think a vacation might cost me in 3 months and see how much I need to save...etc.

    I can't seem to have that happen with most commercial programs. They seem to be all about the bill pay--which I already do with my browser--and other features that are useful but not essential.

    I did see a blurb about account forecasting that makes me hopeful for MoneyDance..still downloading =)

  2. Re:Sony is stupid- this has already happened!!! on Sony Introduces Passage · · Score: 1

    Actually, Sony references opencable on their
    website.

  3. First HD, Second CPU on Building the Ultimate Silent PC · · Score: 1

    That whirring noise you hear as soon as you
    click the on button? It's not your cpu fan;
    it's your harddrive.

    1. Replace your drives with Seagate Barracuda IV's
    2. Remove your older harddrives
    3. Replace your cpu fan's with the zalman
    flower heatsink+fans
    4. Replace case fans with variable zalman fans
    5. Replace powersupply with zalman

    I've been deliriously happy since I replaced
    the fans in my system with the zalman stuff...I
    didn't even knew they existed until I saw their
    flower heatsink.

    After replacing most of the stuff in my system,
    I wondered why my systems were still so loud.
    Then I figured it out..the harddrives were
    whining even when doing nothing. FDB bearings
    to the rescue...simply wonderful.

    You'd think that PC manufacturers would get a
    clue. Dell could make a fortune just by making
    their PC's silent and marketing them as such.

  4. Re:Paradigm is good stuff. on What Audio System Powers Your Home Theater? · · Score: 1

    Are the Paradigm better than the Magnepan MMG's that can be had for $500 or the NHT Super Twos for around $600? I'm looking in the price range. Thanks

  5. Too expensive...I just need the portable space on The Docking Station Meets The MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    All I really want is the ability to carry all of my songs with me...I can use either the computer I have at work or my notebook to play them....So for me, I want a USB enclosure or a drive like the BUSLink....$300 gets you a 40Gig device from CompUSA. I don't care about the slow speed...I just want to store stuff.

  6. How java ready? on RedHat 6.2 - RSN · · Score: 1
    Hi, I was wondering how java ready is this release?

    It'll be great one day when I can get a distro with full J2EE support + database + JDBC driver. But for now I'll settle for the database + jdk1.2.2 + Apache Tomcat integrated into the webserver. EJBOSS is almost ready as an ejb server...

    Which of these are in the release? Does redhat have any goals for java developers beyond the inclusion of a jdk? Thanks

  7. Re:"New" X-Men of old on X-Men Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    Well, as far as writing perhaps Claremont was the man. But as far as artistry...Marvel messed up big time when Jim Lee and W. Portacio left... Looks like they haven't learned though-- did the same thing with Maduera and Chris Bachalo . . . .... waiting for Marvel to keep some consistently good artwork on the X-men.

  8. Postgressql on Inprise Considering Open Sourcing InterBase · · Score: 2

    As someone who's just beginning SQL programming on Linux I'd like to know what's wrong with postgresql. It has transactions...its' open source, and it has a JDBC driver. I'll probably test using EJB's with it..but even if I don't go the EJB route I'll use it from servlets...It's even included in the Linux Mandrake release I'm using. Dorwin

  9. dbVisualizer? on Oracle SQL Development Environment in Linux? · · Score: 2

    This is a java tool I came across while
    looking for something else. I bookmarked it,
    but I've never tried it:
