Plus, MS SQL Server is a better database than MySQL. You're just asking for problems trying to run the DB backend on MySQL on Linux (or NT, even), with an Access frontend.
MySQL doesn't support all of SQL, or all of ODBC, and Access will try to do things that it will not allow.
2000 is the only windows I run. But I don't see it running on the likes of a 32MB StrongArm system with 16MB of flash anytime soon. It's pretty piggy. The kind of handheld system needed to run Win2k would probably have laptop-like battery requirements and would not fit in my pocket. I was just exaggerating about the car battery. Haha.
With this, I should be able to just put my camera on the table next to my PC, and copy the video over. Or, with a digital video system in my living room, just sit the camera near the VCR/DVD recorder/HDTV/etc, and play/duplicate/etc. the footage.
Besides, show me a Compaq iPac with Linux installed that can play MP3's. I rest my case.
Win2k on a handheld?!?! What is it powered with, a car battery?
Here is a screenshot
of an iPaq running pocketlinux, playing an MP3.
Here is another -- this one of QPE, including screenshots that show its support for alternate input methods.
Games, spreadsheets, word processors, web browser, two shells (gmc and nautilus), digital camera utilities, image editors, cd players, mp3 players, mp3 rippers, development tools, GUI design tools, profiling tools, calendars, address books, palm pilot utilities, text editors, finance manager, mail clients, irc clients, IM clients, ftp clients, system config tools, themes, window manager, panels, applets, as well as the gnome and gtk+glib libraries.
patent awarded last April to Dallas-based Kernel Creations Ltd. for its PatentPro software, which creates a properly formatted, fully submittable patent application without the need for an expensive patent attorney. "PatentPro is the only product in the world that can claim to have patented itself," boasted Kernel CEO James Petruzzi, a patent attorney, in a press release
... this is the equivalent of the bulk-email programs, but targeted at the patent office. I can see how this would be useful to small-time inventors, though.
You may think you're some kind of 1337 killing machine because you can hit a 3D representation of another player over the net whilst maintaining low ping times, but you're not. Sorry.
Hahahahaha! Unlike you, I can separate reality from fiction. Jesus! I'm kidding! I'm making fun of you! I'm not really trying to counter your moronic, irrelevant argument! Ask a few of those English chaps to explain humor to you...
I know you're just being smarmy, but the U.S. Military actually uses first-person shooters -- even modified version of DOOM -- to train its soldiers, to produce the appropriate mentality.
I've been on/. for quite a while, and I don't remember him. So I looked up
his bio:
I was born in Kansas 31 years ago and was educated at Bob Jones University and am proud to be a decent, God-fearing Christian who
firmly believes in the inerrant nature of the Bible and Conservatism as a way of life. After becoming disgusted with the degenerate nature of modern America and the insidious control of Liberals in the American Government, I moved to London where I work as a top-flight IT consultant for NPO Technologies advising businesses on setting up their mission-critical enterprise platforms for b2b and b2c solutions.
Hmmm... after becoming disgusted with American Liberals, he moved to London! Oh, yeah, they're certainly less degenerate and liberal there. England is way more of a welfare state than the U.S....
But that's okay, he's a top-flight IT guy! Not to mention that a substantial percentage of Brits are athiest -- hardly a conservative, god-fearing nation.
Lol.
Considering a large number of your "average geeks" are either gun nuts, trained in some martial art, or both, I'd say they could cope pretty well. Plus, all that training that Quake gives them!

Hey! In your take on his hypothetical scenario, everything would be a "Quake Deathmatch!" So you're right, people wouldn't be worried about simulated deathmatches!
And who's to say that geeks won't form their own survival groups? After all, they love technology first and foremost -- they are geeks -- and the latest spear technology might excite them! Plus, no patent office to enshrine "method and apparatus for one-throw fish aquisition with pointy stick device."
Heck, geeks might THRIVE in the post-apocalypse! Much better than those lawyers, politicians, thinktank puddingheads, and Oprah fans that have great social skills!
"Capitalism" centers around individual's rights and responsiblities. Singapore has a somewhat free market, but no one would accuse it of being a free society. What it has may look like capitalism, but it's at best capitalistic.
A few co-workers and myself are writing a new filesystem that includes ACL support. It's also journaled, 64-bit, supports named streams, and has indexed directories.
It emulates unix-type bitmask permissions with ACLs, and optimizes for the common cases. This means that chown, chmod, chgrp, etc. will all work unmodified.
We should be ready to do an initial beta release in one to two months for Linux 2.2.18. After that, we'll have ports for Windows 2000, FreeBSD and maybe Linux 2.4 -- depending on how stable its VFS, VM, etc. interfaces look at the time. We also plan SOlaris and HPUX ports.
An additional feature is that file system metadata is endianness-independant, so you can use the same filesystem with big or little-endian hardware. And it will be possible to pull a drive out of a Linux machine running this FS, mount it under Windows 2000, copy data back and forth, set ACLs, etc, then put it back in the Linux machine and keep on using it. Which will be sweet. Of course, it'll also mean that people who dual-boot with Linux and Win2k can have a common filesystem.
We've tentatively named the filesystem "CXFS" -- but we realize that SGI also has a "CXFS." What do you think would be a good (short, meaningful, catchy) name for an efficient cross-platform journaled filesystem?
Absoutely. And part of what the author shows is that, unlike the usual stereotype of anarchy, capitalism needs a strong government to work. It's just that, in a captialist system, the government work for and follows the people, rather than attempting to herd them "for their own good." I.e, capitalism requires a government for, by, and of the people.

Stick with SQL Server

Good suggestion! Thanks!

I stand by my original post; there was no information in yours.

Gee, thanks for wasting my time and yours.
I could name it for you -- "TrollFS"
