I've tried to setup several databses, both under Windows and Linux, and have found that many times
it's extremely difficult to setup databases and get them to work correctly. I think some company could benefit from writing some software that would have a very easy point and click, or very simple command line, creat a config file, type of engiene to write a database. And all you would have to do is drag and drop options. Of course, this could also open up another can of worms, in that then anyone and his brother might try to write a databse and succeed, but not know what to do when the databse crashes!
I was watching the elections tonight at work.
(hehe tech support at an ISP)
Anyway, I was really amazed at how the states would go in.. (like Gore getting Florida) then they would be removed. Don't these places (like CNN) have better sources of information? SHEESH!
I'm not an expert by any extent on these subjects, but here's what I know... I think MS needs to update that page or release it...

99.9% uptime for a NT system? Yeah maybe if you hit the reset button really quick when it crashes... Linux though you don't need to reboot unless you upgrade the kernel.

Yes there is, Linux is FREE!

Ummm, yeah anybody and their brother can setup a Windows machine, but if you can setup a linux sytem you can probably fix it too when it stops working, plus you don't have DLL file corruption.

Umm, yeah they charge for the CD's, you can also download it, and they have put alot of time into books and whatnot, let them charge for that. If windows was free I might by a book about how to fix it, and use it, if it was extensively written

Ok, woah.. this is bad. Corel makes word perfect which has a thing for Linux... However, Microsoft now owns Corel. does this mean they will or won't keep the WP product line for Linux, and if so will they continue to develope it?!?!
Yes, it's true RedHat has bugs, but I've been using 6.0 for some time now with no problems. True I don't use the X environment but when i did I ran 5.2 and I liked it. Maybe just personal tollerance.. i don't know.

cue cat license agreement.. WHAT IN THE WORLD?

· Score: 2
I was just reading the license agreement and it informs me that I may not have the CRQ software loaded on more then one computer. Why in the world do they care? They are giving th esoftware aware free. Not only that, but they say I can't have the hardware connected to more then one computer at a time. Uhhh... and can only be used on a single machine at any one time... ok then. Anyway... Isn't this like me buying a hard drive and being informed
"Buyers of this hard drive may not store MP3 files on it, nor can this hard drive be used in more then one computer system"
What in the world?
Personally, I don't think domains peroid should be purchased simply for the fact of selling, now with this *company.com one, that wasn't the case so thas good. however, still, I think that the person was just out for a hayday. but isn't there something in EBay's agreement saying you have to LEGALLY sell? The high bidder could take this to court.
Having fast access to EVERYONE could be a bad thing. Think about this. Joe User has really fast access, and knows a little about internet access, not only can he now DoS anyone, but he is now also prone to being DoSed and should he have some sort of virus or java applet opening his file sharing up to the world, he is more likely going to be a target.. eeek what about B.O.? Think about that in a Broadband community! WOAH!
I totally agree, these games have been out on the market for years. Hasbro shoudl not be allowed to sue over people doing things with these games. I mean really come on, they are what? 15 - 17 years old.. maybe only 10, but anyway, there are principals which people shoudl abide by. If you were to ask someone who makes Pac-Man, do you think anyone could tell you? Probably not, it's kind of like if the person who wrote HAPPY BIRTHDAY suddenly started sueing everyone who was singing it for copyright infringment!!
There are actually some radio stations that use those D.A.T. tapes... which are nice. And, I hate to break the news to you, but I REALLY don't think you are going to find any way to broadcast CD quality sound over F.M. radio.. oh what's that? you have? WHY BY ALL MEANS! Why don't you release the sorce to the open public... I'm sure we would love to have better quality sound.. I mean come on Beethovan's 9th could sound wonderful when I'm driving my car home if only the broadcast quality was better
Definately crystal caves. I can see it now. Telnet to your linux box. Run crystal caves over your terminal with ANSI support turned on =). You could have 2 versions.. heheh... ANSI and VGA =) now THAT would be cool!
Cool, So we all get to have our computers running for months on end, our calculators running for years on end, and LEDs running infinately. Just think. We would make some super bright LEDs, use them for lights all over, and just hook up one of these power cells. Think of the power it would save!
I personally think that it's fine for people to censor things. I mean no one had any kind of license agreement, and as far as I know there is no reason they HAVe to display anything on the TV (if they are doing the broadcast medium)... so I don't know that they did anything wrong.. now ethically that's another question.. =)
