    Exactly. Poor design is not an excuse to blame SQL. SQL is math. Can math solve bad design?

    . "I drove the Interstates with a 35-mm wide-angle lens. Interstates bypass small-town America, and when I-70 goes through the Rocky Mountains, you just get close-up rock faces. Besides, the car was so low-slung I got a lot of guardrails."

    "Every time a mile ended, a device attached to the odometer made an electric contact that triggered the shutter release. If a cement wall or other nearby object blocked the view, he had a switch that would delay a picture for a moment. "

    Depends which system you use. ebeam system 1 supports 8'X5'.

    Even with specifications, parties still don't change communication methods quickly.

    I have been "communicating" the specifications on a flat-file ftp-style interface to several outside partners where I work for over two years! The specs are basically CSV format and they still cannot get it right the first 3-10 times they use the interface.

    Mostly true. Siebel does provide a good framework. Why reinvent the wheel just to stroke an ego?

    Yes. And it runs well. There are future plans where I work to have Linux running the application servers. While R/3 might not work for very small businesses, anything above 100 employees seems suitable.

  12. Re:Office for Linux? Office for Linux! on States Filing Alternate Remedy Proposal for MS Anti-Trust Case · · Score: 1

    In fact, MSOffice for Linux will mean many companies can switch to something besides Windows. Windows is really the unstable component because its poorly written. While the apps might be poorly written they are popular. No accounting manager or head buyer cares about the OS, they care about price and use.

    If every other company uses office so will they.

    How many companies use telephones? How many use Meridian phones vs. something else? How much do you care about what kind of phone you have compared to the features the phone has?

    Its the same with any OS vs app. Linux/BSD/Beos/etc are nice but without the popular apps they suck in the common person's opinion.
