· Score: 4, Informative
During the 1970s, a group at IBM's San Jose research center developed a database system "System R" based upon, but not strictly faithful to, Codd's model. Structured English Query Language ("SEQUEL") was designed to manipulate and retrieve data stored in System R. The acronym SEQUEL was later condensed to SQL because the word 'SEQUEL' was held as a trademark by the Hawker-Siddeley aircraft company of the UK. Although SQL was influenced by Codd's work, Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce at IBM were the authors of the SEQUEL language design.[1]. Their concepts were published to increase interest in SQL.
Oh, and as to the OP stating that SQL is difficult, try IMS.
I'll take any SQL system over an IMS or other heirarchical anyday.:P I had the unfortunate need to learn IMS after years of various SQL databases. Sure it is faster, but what a learning curve!
Well, that is a good point. What if I reply by saying, I went in your house BECAUSE the door was opened and wanted to make sure you were okay? Now as a defense I suppose I would be leaving a note saying, "hey wanted to make sure you were not hurt and you left your door open."
I dunno. What exactly did he break into? Did he take anything with him? Is there a loss - monetary, security - directly attributed to this action?
From what I've seen and read in the past, Sony has a desire even greater than Microsoft to become the world leader in all things electronic. That includes PCs, Video, Audio and related. This article doesn't change my mind one bit.
I honestly wouldn't be suprised if someday in the near future, Sony makes a move to supplant Microsoft in the home-based software business. They can do this either by purchasing a OS vendor such as Apple or one of the Linux Distributions, or they could even licence some version of Windows NT for use on entertainment units. Somehow, given that they probably oversee much of the DRM work in the world, they could simply DIY operating system and leave it at that. (IIRC, sony has a MIPS OS on the PS/2 and may have a *nix OS on the PS3 - http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=14043 )
Personally, I am more leery of Sony than I am of Microsoft these days.
I agree wholheartedly with your opinion. Though I have no problem with Red Had and will always advocate Linux over any POS Microshaft solution, advertisements (for that is what this is) like this smack of disingenuity.
Regardless of whether it is Steve "Go to Hell" Ballamer hawking the latest version of WinNT or RedHat trumpeting their "success" over the competition, I can't help associating the person with a used-car salesman.
C'mon, didn't you ever use the TRS-80 BASIC interpreter? Didn't everyone? It worked great, and was a MS product, IIRC. I think it was Micro-Soft basic 4.5 from what I remember.:) It worked exactly as promised.
I never used the BASIC compiler for the PC, but I think it was supposed to be pretty cool. Again it worked as promised. Of course, it was cloned from an IBM product, but then what's new?
Knowing that Scott was his only barrier to TWD (Total World Domination) apart from Bill The Gates, Larry Ellison seizes the moment to purchase the once-vaunted Stanford University Network for an undisclosed sum and a few cases of Jolt Cola.
Scott, meanwhile, is rumored to be now working as "technology consultant" for the.NET division of Microsoft as "C# evangelist."
Remind me to stay the heck away from you around lunchtime!
In all seriousness, this is really strange considering MS has been trumpeting all sorts of "new" technologies. Longhorn has been delayed, but only for the home market. The business sheep who think MS has good products will still bend over and drop their pants for Bill The Gates and take whatever they can get.
Since my NES died a long time ago, and I never could find my files for NESTicle, I eventually took up SuperTux (http://supertux.berlios.de/wiki/index.php/Main_Pa ge) as a substitute. I wonder if now we'll be treated to a SuperTux 2.
OTOH, I've heard that there's a new Nintento coming out - N64? SNES?
Well, I'd disagree with your (otherwise valid) reasoning for one issue - Novell has a world-class network admin software (Zen, I believe) and a whole host of people still running NetWare. I think from an Oracle perspective, that would be more tasty than a desktop like Xandros (which I haven't honestly tried) that is percieved to be more of a home-based system.
I personally can't stand when I go to someone's house and have to use their TiVo. I sooo miss my Echostar DVR at that point. Now, if we could only get one product which allows me to "skip forward 30 seconds" and has season pass functionality, then I'd be sold!
I'd like to know what the continuing direction is going to be for support on 1.x - which is being used by the majority of webservers I see - and 2.x - which is what is being distributed in most recent operating system packages, such as Linux. Are you planning on supporting 1.x forever or ending support at some point and forging on with 2.x?
IIRC, the Singularity project is going to address some of these issues. Though I despise MS and have yet to see any true groundbreaking piece of code to come out of Redmond that wasn't stolen (DOS/C#) or purchased (Citrix/Visio), I think the Singularity project looks promising. I believe they will be running all machines in a virtual state, thus alleviating any current issues.

Of course, you might need a Septium 24GHz quintuple-core AlienWare system with 5TB RAM to run it, but it will be faster.
Actually Linux has taken off. In spite of the overwhelming presence of Microshaft and their unethical staff.
In any case, Joomla or Mamboo or Xoops or PostNuke or Invision or PHPbb have really nothing to do with Linux per se. I've run several of these under Win2K just fine.
Remember: Friends don't let friends use Windows(tm).
I'm sure this was a very interesting conference - nice to see names like Johnny Long there ( Google Hacking for Penetration Testers ) http://books.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/04/11/ 1750217&from=rss and other notables. I'm curious if MS will ever really look at what it is that causes so much to go wrong with their departmental OS.
All the same, I'm sure the findings will be taken back, discussed among those who know and forgotten or buried by marketing executives.
Of course, I can't understand all the commotion about a fscking game. In my opinion - and I've never played this or any other MMORPG - if the person wants to cheat, that's all part of the game. Seems silly for the operators to ban someone for creative use of technology.
Didn't Captain Kirk do something like that on a simulation?
Or you could just buy it. (It is actually a very good movie.)
I agree, though, that there hasn't been any must-see movies in the theater of late. Okay, I did fork over my $10 to see the final Star Wars insult - at least I didn't stand in line for two hours at the Chinese like I did in '77 - but other than that, nothing as warranted the time and expense.
Meanwhile, I've seen tons of great uncut movies on IFC (www.ifctv.com) this past year. Some really eye-opening stuff, too. Kind of reminds me of the good ol' days when I had the Z-Channel.
Well, I'm still a newbie. I've only been using it for about two years, so I can't help much with the details. However, you should be able to get support without an issue. There are a number of resources at your disposal.

Also, I would highly recommend against using 9.2 these days. 10.0 has been out for awhile and is worlds better than 9.x in terms of speed, usage, drivers and app selection. (In fact, I'm suprised you have 9.2 running on a laptop. I'd heard there were numerous issues and didn't even try until 9.3 to get it running on mine.)

How can they do this? We all know that Goose died after college. In fact, he died again a few years later after being reincarnated as Dr. Greene.
What will they come up with next? A remake of The Posiden Adventure? A remake of The Hidden Fortress?

I sold a copy of it - in the original box - for over $100 on Ebay. I hope I didn't violate the EULA. =O
Amazing that the thing still was able to load. Didn't do much, though....come to think of it Windows still doesn't do much.
ROTFLMAO!!
