  1. Re:Delphi? on Kylix in Limbo · · Score: 1

    I've been using Borland Delphi since 1996 (!! I checked !!) and I always used ODBC. I remember vaguely that we contemplated using the "other" thing but no.

    I've done a GUI interface with Delphi and local database access and remote databases querys always using ODBC.

    I think I have a Jurassic survivor here working with me.

  3. NT ATM for a long time here. on Windows ATMs by 2005 · · Score: 1

    All along Europe you can find MS NT ATMs in full color and full of ad screens while waiting to processing orders. they use NT, basic NT, and central managed by CMS. The Blue screen is very usual and even the eternal ctrl-alt-del screen.

  4. GPL avaiable from LINKSYS on Linksys and the GPL, Again · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The GPL clearly states that the modified source code must be avaiable on-line? Or the modified code may be only avaiable off-line?

  5. Probably there will be no big changes on What if Microsoft went Open Source? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Microsoft doesn't really depend on the closed code point. The Microsoft is no doubt a big software creator and improver. But what is theirs major asset is the sell & markting and of course the services. They probably will still be majors even with open code:

    Their major asset: name & reputation for the big masses and big corporations willing to spend a lot of money to be free from the concern of software quality nad support.

    They really are the biggest on Marketting new ideas and product and selling them really fast even when they are not yet ready. ( See amazon.com when they tried to copy this with seagway - and this toy is even cheaper than most stuff that MS sell).

  6. First of all & Very important!! on Improving Company Morale? · · Score: 1

    Have a job. I don't have a job for the las t three years and will have a great moral if i had one and surely will help to increase the moral between my co-workers.

    I'm a great programmer, people's people and will work everywhere in the US, CAN or EU. For a low fee too.

  7. security vs. privacy on Throttling Computer Viruses · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The author refers the different behaviour of a computer infected by a virus as a way to detect the virus. What the author says is that a virus will try to make connection to as many comouters as possible. This different behaviour is then monitorized by a system and someone somewhere is informed of the presence of the virus.

    But to have this system installed you will be giving someone an authorization to see your computer use profile, giving away your privacy. And it will not detect most virus that are only interested in destroing your data and/or spam your friends via email.

  8. and why not a floppy disk on Backup Your Life on a DVD · · Score: 1

    If we apply a good zip program maybe we can put all the dat on a little floppy disk. Cheaper and more green friend. :-)

  10. DMCA and maket fareness on Adobe Gets Hit By DMCA · · Score: 1

    The sense that DMCA is so ilogical and obscure will hit all major corporations and they will lobby to change it. It's the way of democracy and it can be called market equillibrium.

  11. Re:yet another option on Britain's CAA Considers Laptop Ban on Commercial Aircraft · · Score: 1

    These sound like mission-critical systems. Perhaps they be appropriaty shielded to block interference from other electronic devices?

  12. Article? on L0pht And The FBI · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This article as far as I can see is an opinion not an report of facts. So the merits of it are the relevance you give to the writer. And this writer is well-known by the community, recommended by someone, as a relevant cv for the matter? Doesn't seems so. So why is this here withou the necessary explanation?

  18. Re:Ren & Stimpy? Why? on Ren and Stimpy (And John K) Returning? · · Score: 1

    Have you seem Disney last movies? Great techniques are born there and some big computer related stuff too.

    If you want to see real good animation stuff, rent a movies and see the last European stuff. Just great!!

    Yep. Probably the worse things stay in memory so I probably don't remember seen the best or actually never saw them.

  20. Hum?What?Who? on World Cup Final · · Score: 1

    I really never saw the value on this serie? What is that kicks you? The design? The dialog? The "violence"? The nonsense?

    Is there any originality on this serie?Where?

  22. Manufacture support by any chanche? on Mandrake To Support AMD's Hammer · · Score: 1

    Linux is mature enough so that manufactures like those, (AMD, INTEL and other bigs) should themselfs start to buld support and not wait to the Linux boudles companies to do so. Organize teams like they have with MS to build the processor focused on the software and not the opposite.

    We had so manu troubles with ATHALON and the INTEL similar to instal RH amd Mandrake that it was almost tempting to change to a less powerfull machine.

  23. US law violation? on Microsoft Media Player "Security Patch" Changes EULA Big Time · · Score: 1

    If I buy a robot to play my cds and the robot as the propriety to check if the cd is "legal" or not and then call the cops seems almost fair. But if the robot start a killing rampange on my not so "legal" cds isn't that a clear violation of your right? And that isn't what MS is trying here?

  24. Emergercy calll all the time on Can You Hear Me Now? · · Score: 1

    YOU can make emergency callls (911) every hear on the planet. My cell phone at this moment is the only thing it does. But probably on the top of the Andes he wouldn't have connection to nowhere. Except on a sattellite phone. And those are not prepaid, as far as I know.

  25. The Marvel Morlock Conference 2002 on Spelunking in Las Vegas · · Score: 1
