  1. Re:Better than PostgreSQL? on Sybase Releases Free Enterprise Database on Linux · · Score: 1

    For anyone interested in Sybase ASE 11.0.3.3 for Linux, it's available for download at http://www.sybase.com/detail?id=1009516
    A FreeBSD flavor is also available.

    Also, I believe that Sybase ASE Express Edition for Linux is aimed more at potential MS SQL Server 2005 Express Edition users rather than PostgreSQL users.

  3. Definition of an Agile Business on Slammer Worm Slams Microsofts Own · · Score: 1

    Agile Business: 1. Organization quick enough to apply Microsoft security patches before virii and worms attack.

  4. Shoulda got the ReplayTV on News on TiVo, "God's Machine" · · Score: 1, Funny

    Powell should've gotten a ReplayTV 4000 to share TV shows, and home movies like "Wings over the Gulf", with his sister...

  5. Re:don not call list on Fighting Telemarketers with Technology · · Score: 1

    New York's "Do Not Call" registry works very well, except that charities are exempt. So, I still get calls from the likes of the "Second Cousins Twice Removed of Fallen Firemen Fund".

  6. The 5th C on Cremation? Burial? How about Diamonds? · · Score: 1

    Carats, Calarity, Color, Cut...and now Cremation?

  7. Re:Albany will NOT become Austin. on Sili-Hudson Valley? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    SUNY Albany doesn't even have an engineering college--- or even an engineering department!

    Back in the mid '80s, SUNY Albany planned to start a school of engineering. When RPI got wind of it, they flexed their political muscle and derailed the effort. Why? Because if you could get a decent engineering degree with yearly tuition of $2000 (circa 1985), why would you go to RPI to pay $10000 per year?

  8. Re:Albany is a hidden gem. on Sili-Hudson Valley? · · Score: 1

    If you live in Saratoga Springs, a popular suburb about 40-50 miles north you have an hour's commute.

    Actually, Saratoga Springs is about 20 miles north of Albany. It just seems like an hour 'cause of all the traffic on the Northway.

  9. Re:why would they move? on Sili-Hudson Valley? · · Score: 1

    Particularly if you like sitting in traffic on the Northway...

  10. Re:why would they move? on Sili-Hudson Valley? · · Score: 1

    You obviously haven't been here lately. Within the last 6 months, there has been a mag 3 and a mag 5 earthquake in the Adirondacks. Also, about 5 years ago a f-5 tornado destroyed much of Mechanicville, about 10 miles north of Albany.

  12. Re:espn.com under msn.com? on MSN Blocks Mozilla, Other Browsers [updated] · · Score: 1

    I can't access pages other than the home page at the ESPN site with K-Meleon or Mozilla. You can reconfigure your browser's User Agent string and that's supposed to solve the problem. As a side note, much of Disney's content is managed with the TeaServlet templating system running (of course) in a servlet engine. Now that ESPN has thrown in with the dark-side, one can only wonder how long that will last. Guess I'll be goin' to Sportsline.com!
