SQL is inadaquate to the task of fully utilizing the RELATIONAL MODEL because it doesn't have any way to EXPRESS RELATIONSHIPS other than "table".
Isn't this a limitation of the relational datamodel itself? I think only the entity-relationship model can distinguish between relationships and other data. Once you convert you're model to the relational datamodel, you've lost that distinction. This is not an SQL-specific problem. At least this is what we learned at our university on a database course.
"1st Screenshot: Round bits look completely 'tacked on' to the underlying blocky Win98-style interface. Look at edges of the tabs and buttons. Hacky."
I agree completely. It's not consistent. Either have everything rounded, or everything blocky. The two just don't fit well together. Somehow it just dosen't seem right. This is not bashing, I'm just trying to understand what I don't like about it.
But it's not just the sound, it's also the feel. A pianist can play more expressively on an acoustic instrument. Of course it's also true, that this is most important, when playing in a solo setting.
This didn't work either, it just brought up the 'Open With' dialog box. Using Win98SE, IE5.5 here, and the latest updates were not installed. Security level was medium or something.
It tells you to disable active scripting in the Internet Zone. You can always add microsoft.com to the trusted sites. They will probably not try to hack your computer, will they?
Hey, this is cool software. Thanks for the link! Why didn't his post get moderated as informative?
Napster fee included in your ISP subscription?

Napster Going Legit

I was just thinking, wouldn't it make sense if your ISP increased your supscription fee if you used Napster (or some similar service). Kind of the same way a cable TV provider charges extra for a movie channel or sports channel, etc. That system more or less works for cable TV providers. Sure, there are are people who use pirate decoders and stuff, but the cable companies still get enough money. So mainly, what I'm suggesting is, instead of paying directly to Napster, you pay your Internet provider. Of course there is big problem here: how does your ISP know that use Napster? Can he prevent you from using it? And what if someone dosen't even need an ISP, to go online? Well there are many questions here.
I was also thinking, maybe this system could work for downloading software too. And what if people would have the right to tell the ISP, to which software company the extra money should go to (maybe even open source companies). But maybe this is overcomplicating things a bit.

So you're saying that a midi keyboard has the same expressive capability as an acoustic grand piano? I think you're wrong

Why don't they have Transmeta CPUs for desktops? That would solve a lot of heat problems, at least CPU wise. Any ideas?
I absoultely agree. An average user is not going to know shift-right click. Hell, even I didn't know it, and I've been using Windows for years.
Could you tell me where I can get all of the patches listed?
I don't really understand your langauge. Could you repeat this in a human readable form? Thank you.
