The article talks about how they don't have the know-how to successfully complete the OS deployment, and you're suggesting that they actually dive into the code and fix OS problems themselves? Hahahah... seriously, I think you are missing the big picture here.
Don't make me tell you about the time a lab full of $70k Tek logic analyzers for a class I took had to be shut down because the douchenozzle sysadmins put the LAs on the Internet with external IPs (no firewall even), yet never thought of patching them. They all got infected with one of the worms.
And an Access database in an MDB file is hardly standalone, you still need a machine running Access to get much use out of it.
Actually let me expound on this a bit further... you can write a VBScript in your favorite text editor to do SQL operations on an Access database... just use an ADO object...
Are you aware that the data in a MySQL database can be ripped out to a file with the mysqldump command? Okay, perhaps passing it through bzip2 or similar will improve the odds of fitting it on a floppy.
Well obviously, I too can do a text export of Access and gzip it as well! But that doesn't, uh, help the situation.

Wrong. You don't need Access to create/update/use an Access database. The functionality it built into Windows (actually part of a bigger module called Jet).
Actually, I think you may have been mislead if I read you correctly. Another person in the thread was correct when they said that Access is a front-end to the actual Access database. You can run SQL queries against an Access database... the functionality is built into the driver.
An Access database (usually a.mdb file) is just a binary file. Your application uses the Access DB driver to read/write to this file.
MySQL on the other hand (which may consist of multiple binary files) has to run a daemon (i.e., server) to be accessed. Your application uses the MySQL driver to talk to the MySQL daemon, either through TCP/IP or a local socket.
This is why MySQL will *never* be a replacement for Access, despite what I often see on slashdot. You can fit a small Access database on a floppy. Conversely, you may need a full fledged DBA to run MySQL.
Individuals, businesses, and government organizations may evaluate Netscape Navigator free of charge for up to 90 days. Students, faculty, and staff members of an educational institution and employees of charitable nonprofit organizations may use Netscape Navigator free of charge. If you are using Netscape Navigator free of charge, you are not entitled to technical support.
If you were not a non-profit or in academia, you had to pay.
That's not the only reason Netscape lost its share. Maybe you don't remember the early to mid days of the WWW, but I do. I remember using Mosaic to download IE from Microsoft. Why? Because Netscape cost $50 a copy. IE was free, and thought to be "almost as good." Sure, Netscape was a better browser at the time, but it wasn't $50 worth of better. I stuck with IE ever since... but I use Firebird now.

That statement rings so true, but it appears as though the facist moderators are trying to silence your thoughts.
Yes.

Anything longer than 2 seconds is unacceptable.
Uhh, most modern scopes that run on even just a small uC will still take 15-20 seconds to run through the self tests.

Here's a good one, I think it's reasonably priced, too! :)
If $100 is all you want to spend, here you go
all running securly behind a firewall
And what's that firewall running? Don't say Linux.
The extra features I get as a Slashdot subscriber are well worth the cost,
... the mysterious future?!
Do you get to see "HTTP Error 503 - Service Unavailable" in
And triple-shoddy that you don't realize that it can be disabled and use MDI with a simple checkbox in the Options menu.....
Snake oil? Where do I sign up?!
Just ask Ludacris... "TV in the middle of my steering wheel"
You think I'm joking?
Cocaine! The earmark of all rich white people!
Yes, the OpenBSD box on my cable modem fetches an IPv6 address.
Try telling me that you can do that with access.
In a word, yes.

Hmm, does DBM allow you to run SQL queries against it?
Often I've seen Linux users suggest using PHP + MySQL as a drop-in replacment to Access. That is really way off base.
Does DBM have a GTK/Qt interface, or is it only through a Perl CGI?
Access' main advantage is that the interface can run as a standalone app.

If the numbers were GUIDs they would be nearly impossible to replicate since there is no pattern to them.
