A year after I got it; it would not hold a charge and the OS started to crash intermittently... I think it fell out of warranty otherwise I would have sent it back.
I won't ever buy anything by Palm again... After two class action lawsuits it's starting to look like they are just out to screw their customers.
Reminds me of that scene in Total Recall where the secretary was changing the color of her nails with the tap of a stylus... Yet another office productivity tool;)
Ok, so I took a look at the paper and then the e-mail response from Microsoft; and found this in the 4th paragraph, "In our essay,
the 'Ten Immutable Laws of Security'i, these are Law #1-- "If a bad guy
can persuade you to run his program on your computer, it's not your
computer anymore," and Law #3 -- "If a bad guy has unrestricted physical
access to your computer, it's not your computer anymore." (see
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/columns/security/ essays/10imlaws.asp
for the full essay)."
So does this mean when those of us apply the Microsoft backdoors, I mean Service Packs to our systems, that give them unrestricted access to our systems, aren't we breaking one of Microsoft's rules, rule #3? I guess if it favors them it really doesn't matter. Yeah those of us who run Microsoft software probably should deal with it; but it does raise some interesting ideas, expecially with Palladium. I guess if it [Palladium] comes about, those of us who run it truly will not own a PC, Microsoft will.
Has anyone used it? How is it compared to MySQL and PostgreSQL? I am migrating from M$ SQL Server and ASP to PHP; but I need the Stored Procedures and some other functionality that MySQL does not yet support; so MySQL is out.
I am currently toying around with both PostgreSQL and Firebird but haven't come to any conclusions on either of them yet.
It seems that if the version of MySQL does not yet support what you need and the version that does has been listed as an Alpha Release, PostgreSQL and/or Firebird may be a viable solution.

And companies are outsourcing IT work to other countries. Maybe they should take a good look at this example.
What street is this on?
I think that I have seen one here too but it was a few months ago. It was either in Cincinnati or Northern Kentucky.

What about Firebird (http://firebird.sourceforge.net) isn't it an OpenSource'd version of Interbase?
