I'm 25, and on my system it opens by default with Totem player... and I can only *just* hear it. The MP3 versions I found, however, were very audiable.
If I open it with GNUSound and play it there, I *can't* hear it. It must be doing something different to what Totem does. I also used GNUSound to generate a 17KHz sine wave, and I can't hear that either.
> Table creation from the command line is downright unnatural. In MySQL you have a contained enviroment, the MySQL client, and you have special (non-standard) SQL to deal with the database. It took me almost a week to get this concept difference and it was very frustrating.
I haven't used MySQL very much so I'm vague on its details, but I think what you might be looking for in terms of a "MySQL Client" equivalent is an executable called "psql".
If you're running it at the commandline of the server you're running the db on, and you're logged in as your database user (e.g. "su - postgres"), then all you need do is type 'psql' and it will connect to the default database. (If you are on a remote machine then there are command-line options to specify the remote host, etc).
From there you have an interactive PostgresSQL client that will do everything you need, including "CREATE DATABASE", "CREATE TABLE", "ALTER TABLE", "ALTER DATABASE", "DROP TABLE", "DROP DATABASE", "INSERT INTO", "UPDATE", "SELECT", "CREATE USER", "CREATE TRIGGER", etc.
Is this what you were after?
My first database experience was with Oracle 8. I have to say that from that port of view, PostgreSQL "feels" a lot more natural to me than MySQL.
Even if any of what you say is true, that doesn't mean that the Slashdot audience has to care about it.

Even if it is more economic to have a pile of cheap Windows techs looking after a pile of less-stable Windows boxes (compared to a smaller number of more expensive UNIX techs looking after a smaller number of more solid UNIX boxes), you might find that us nerds are more interested in what's technically superior, or technically more interesting - rather than just sheer economics.
If you'd like to do a full economic analysis of every option proposed, you might find you'd prefer to post on a discussion board for CIOs or economists.
Also, this guy is looking after a bunch of remotely placed boxes in presumably far-away locations. You might find that his needs differ somewhat from the needs of those hosted in a datacentre.
I'm too stupid to understand that circular dependencies can be resolved by specifying BOTH.rpms together on the command line
ooh, so THAT's how it's done. thankyou. i tried reading "man rpm" a few dozen times but i'm afraid i got brainfried.. so now i install everything using "fetch", "tar -zxvf" and "make install". maybe i'll try RPM again now.
oh for fuck's sake. the MS shills on this site are really beginning to annoy me.
firstly, IIS has only recently (in the last couple of years) become stable enough to reasonably get 20% market share. and that's still only 20%.
secondly, Slashdot has always been more interested in Linux and other UNIX-like operating systems than in Windows systems, so it's the perfect platform to ask a question about a UNIX/Linux/other solution to a particular problem. if you don't like it, shift off somewhere else.
thirdly, unix/linux/etc setups are perfect for set-and-forget remote site installations. they've been stable, remote-administerable, and scriptable for decades. set them up properly and they'll run themselves. decent remote administration for windows is only a recent development. scripting and automation on windows is still very immature.
UNIX/Linux/etc is a superior choice for this type of installation. Set it up right and it'll run itself.
But this is exactly the direction WML/WAP has gone in - the old WML is gone, and they've moved to XHTML.
CSS and "accept" headers will decide how the page is rendered, but you basically don't need to write seperate pages anymore - just follow the standards, and the useragent will render it appropriately.
mine doesn't crash that often - maybe once a fortnight. it's possibly something you could fix up by cleaning out cruft or removing a bad app (yes, the OS shouldn't let bad apps fuck things up, but it does).
palm has support articles describing hard-resetting the palm, then re-installing all your apps and pdb's one-by-one. what you might find is that there's still mess around from an old app you thought you removed, and that cleanly reinstalling everything will fix it all up. (hey, sounds like Windows!)
I don't think Microsoft are embarassed anywhere near enough. Everyone now thinks its this kid's fault, when really they ought to be screaming firstly at Microsoft for making OS's out of paper mache, and secondly incredibly incompetent sysadmins who were stupid enough to put Windows on critical systems, and didn't apply released patches!
Sasser didn't actually have a payload - it just replicated out of control. Virus writers like Sven are doing us all a favor at the moment by producing mere proofs-of-concept - imagine what'll happen when someone with actual destructive intention does something that actually *tries* to cause some harm!
An earlier poster mentioned he was able to get an unlimited data plan (possibly with a different telco). You might want to try that.
Having used both, the Kyocera 7135 feels like a nasty hack compared to the Treo 650 - which feels much better integrated. You ought to like the upgrade to Palm OS 5, higher-res screen with better backlight, and the way faster processor.
It is a CDMA limitation. The EDGE and GPRS packet-data services which run atop of GSM don't have this problem.
Depending on implementation (both at the carrier and on the terminal - and I'm not sure of the Treo's implementation), GPRS (and I would presume EDGE) supports simultaneous voice and data. If the implementation doesn't support simultaneous use, an incoming or outgoing call will simply "pause" the data session. Calls can always interrupt the data.
