Sadly with access you lose more work-time minute for minute while waiting for the slow database than you save when writing the frontend. A few years back the IT department where I worked used Access to store their PC database (who is the user of which PC and where is that PC located, which Hardware is in that PC,...). You often had to wait minutes to get the page for a single PC from the Access Database with a few thousand (below 10000) PCs when you accessed it through their 6 MBit/s Link across town. I don't think any Open source database would have been that slow.
Posts like these sometimes make me think the USA is some kind of third world country with a civil war waging. I never heard of a situation here in Germany where someone had to "defend their life or well-being". Sure there are some murders,... but most of those are commited by surprising the victim in a way that a weapon wouldn't be of any help (victim sleeping or clubbed from behind or trusting the murderer or something like that).

Actually it is more like we the citizens deciding to revoke the privilege that was granted in our name a while ago by the government elected by us. The problem today is only that you can not revoke it via the government because they are bought by the people that got rich using this privilege.
The proper process actually is not to write tightly coupled modules bigger than the size one person can know completely. It is well known by now that software development is too complicated if you write several million line programs without dividing them in a way that makes them more similar to a large number of small, separate programs.
And as any astronomer will tell you too talking about zenith without providing a location on Earth doesn't make much sense, especially when talking about it on an international website...
You know there are lots of people living outside the US on this website...might be related to the fact that not-in-the-US is much bigger than in-the-US.
If you do lots of other things when you are not gaming using Linux for those can be interesting for you. Then Windows is only for Games which means you can re-install more or less at will and only have to setup drivers and the 2-3 games you play currently, not all the other stuff you need in addition to that when your Windows breaks (and in my experience gaming is a good way of making Windows break).
So we use IRC for meetings and the manager gets to feel important due to his high rankings in all channel stats (except for longest idler and similar stuff).
The real difference is the mode of consumption. You have no difference between watching a copied or an original movie on your PC monitor or TV but there is a big difference between reading a book on paper or reading it on the screen. The only people that should have those worries are those producing pure reference books that are never read but only used to find specific information but those have problems in times of Google anyway.
And since all Americans were brainwashed somewhere around the 1980s to believe everything communist (not just the political system labeled communism in Russia) is bad that automatically makes you bad too.
You see downloading as a hassle, most downloaders actually see buying it legally as a hassle (in addition to the costs). It getting cheaper doesn't change that you have to drive to the store to get it legally while downloading is just one mouseclick away.
I don't know about Wine but Cedega runs fine on my 64 bit Gentoo but I guess it uses the 32bit emulation libraries I have installed for the few binary apps I have installed (like Opera and the windows-codec-compatible 32bit mplayer version).
WinXP takes 19 seconds from the point where MS wants you to believe it has booted (desktop shows) to actually being usable (icons on the desktop react to a doubleclick) on my AMD64 3200+.

You know they invented these things called "cables"? With them you can even connect two devices in your house without burning DVDs...

...or you could just ask Maddox to give you a sub-blog on his site.
Actually TV is where 0.1% tells 51% which candidate to vote into office.

How does decentralized DNS help with backbone depeering?

And then you realize that your program looks totally shitty when the end user has a different screen resolution and resizes the program window...

Sure, you can never have too many backups.

You don't need one, you just ruin your eyes without one...
Somehow I don't see iTiny gain much market share either...

I would worry more about people with an asphyxation fetish...
And SGML is just a minor syntax change from Lisp S-Expressions which should be even older.
You mean something like "connection loss"?
