  1. Re:Still waiting for a decent GUI on IBM Invests In MySQL/Oracle Competitor · · Score: 2, Informative

    I basically agree with your comment. Actually, I did a lot of search recently for application builder (which run on windows) for PostgreSQL and have the following findings:

    1) OpenOffice.org: Very poor scripting ability... wait for 3.0
    2) pgaccess: Access for PostgreSQL. Looked promising, with Form Editor, Report Editor etc & scripting with TCL. But the project is dead and website is recycled.
    3) bond (http://www.treshna.com/bond/): Looked interesting but I could not run the windows version... never tried linux version :P
    4) rekall, knoda: both are database frontends for KDE. Looked interesting. I hope they will come with KDE on windows

    Also, if your objective is to find something free (as beer), and have plenty of resources, you can have a look on Oracle XE+Application Express. Looks a bit strange at first (with a non-WYSIWYG form builder), but much better after one understand its design concept.

    Talking about corruption cases, housing prices, stock market is ok, or even welcomed. However, don't talk about "democracy", "freedom" and "equality".

    Why isn't this a competitor of db2?

    Having a BMI of at least 36, the 3-feet guy (or gal, who cares) should go diet

  7. Good Programmers... on How to Recognize a Good Programmer · · Score: 1

    ... write good code, excellent programmers steal excellent code.

  8. Re:Free publicity on Asus Corrects Eee PC Source Code Issue · · Score: 1

    But don't forget that GPL / free software also get some publicity

  9. Even if we stop observing... on The Universe Damaged By Observation? · · Score: 1

    Aliens are still observing it. The Universe is doomed to destruction.

    Or... this is an evidence that aliens do not exist?
