Cool! I'm a photog as well. In fact, back in the '70s (high school) I had my own darkroom.
Though I didn't have my own darkroom in the '70s I took a photography class in high school and used the darkroom there. Then when I was in the army I used a darkroom in the arts and crafts center on base. Because I knew photography my Commanding Officer made me my unit's photographer.
Its funny, I find software developers tend to be "artistic," but it seems to be split between photographers and musicians
While I enjoyed photography in high school, I was torn between majoring in a marine science and Computer Engineering. I took marine biology as well as programming and data processing classes in high school. Only if I knew then what I know now, instead of choosing one over the other I would have taken a double major, CE and marine science.
Anyway, take a look at PostgreSQL. That's my advice. Also, there are a lot of frameworks out there to put u a photo web site. Oh!
I plan to, I plan on trying Firebird, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. Well comparing them at least. I don't know if it's possible but I'll look to see if it's possible to install all three on my MacBook Pro. If not I'll just install one of them and install another db on my Linux PC.

Sun Buys MySQL

Well, two reasons.
I don't think that (other than Servers) Sun produces any decent products.
Look what Novell did to Ximian, Suse and (by association) Gnome.
These are personal views mind you, so feel free to disagree.
I don't know what to think. Perhaps it will come to nothing, or maybe it will result in Sun going in a new direction which will proof to be beneficial for Sun.
Sorry, having dealt with both MySQL and PostgreSQL for some time, I think MySQL is far more difficult to deploy in a "professional" setting.
Have you also used Firebird? Though I don't use a DB now I want to install one and learn to use it, I took a DB design class several years ago but haven't done anything with DBs since. So I don't the differences between different DB/DBMSs. I hope to start a photography business soon and will want a DB for it.

Not having heard of Bento I Googled it and see it requires Leopard.
I think you missed the part where I said "in this forum".
And I think you missed the part "which upon further inspection turn out to be much ado about nothing." I don't exactly consider either of the things I listed as "nothing".
Afterall, it's not torture. And everyone breaks, usually in well under a minute.
However I can just go ahead and breath in the water to drawn myself.
However it is torture despite the games the Bush admin wants to play. Even so I love swimming and can hold my breath under water for more than a minute. The only sports team I was on in high school was the swim and dive team and I could swim further under water than most on the team. Of course it didn't directly help me as there was no competition in distance swimming underwater.
Nice tinfoil hat theory - but the contract with Apple to provide MS Office on the Mac expired a while ago (2001/2002). If they really wanted to kill Macs by denying their users Office, why did they even bother to release Office on Mac?
Could it be because they were a monopolist who was convicted of using the monopoly position to harm competitors but now they have a get out of jail card so they no longer have to play nice? If I recall right year ago MS argued it was not a monopoly because they had MS Office for Macs.
First, take as a given the ubiquity of Office (outside of slashdot-land).
I think therein lies the problem. Many enterprises have to keep old documents, for legal as well as other reasons, but if they upgrade their office suite to one that does not support VBA or macro scripts they're going to end up in hell trying to read those old documents when they need them. This may require them to keep an old PC with an older version of Office, but if so then they'd need to support it as well.
Microsoft's new motto is, "Finding new ways to alienate paying customers, one day at a time".
I somehow thought it was something like
"Finding new ways to force customers to pay, again, and again, and again"
But the second motto, your's, leads to the first. Not many but I've heard a small number of people who said they weren't going to upgrade their MS Office suite because MS keeps making new versions incompatible with old versions.
Actually, the grandparent was implicitly making the very reasonable point that we often see in this forum stories about how the United States government is screwing us over in some way, which upon further inspection turn out to be much ado about nothing.
It wouldn't do me any good to threaten to kill you. You're the only one that knows the key. I'll just threaten to kill other people in front of you until you do give up the key
And how would you prevent me from killing myself? A cut in the armpit, as in another good movie "Cellular", or simply biting a chunk of it out and I'll bleed to death within a few minutes. You could put me in a straight jacket to prevent me from doing that, but then I can bite off my tongue and still die within a few minutes. As for threatening to kill other people in front of me, so what I don't care. Even if I did I still believe that it may sometimes be necessary to shed the blood of patriots.
Never wish that, mate - my stepson is spastic, quadraplegic, autistic and has severe learning disabilities, but he takes pleasure from whatever he can do, and gives hope and inspiration to all who encounter him with an open mind.
I tried to keep a positive attitude but eventually it wore out. When I had the accident I was in college majoring in Computer Engineering, however the accident ended that. I was riding my bike after classes when a moving van hit me which put me in a coma. Though I don't recall it at all my sister told me after I came out of the coma I screamed at everyone to let me die. Instead I survived a Traumatic Brain Injury, TBI. So now I have a learning disability myself. While in rehab, when I left the hospital I had to move into a rehabilitation house, I tried to do some simple exercises in calculus and physics, some problems a first semester calc and physics student should of been able to do. However I couldn't solve them. It was then I realized I would of had to repeat many of the classes I had already taken, if I still wanted to get my degree in CE. Unfortunately though my memory is bad now because of the TBI, memory is 1 in a list of more than 2 dozen Persistent Intellectual Impairments. Even after spending more than a year in therapy learning coping and compensatory techniques I still have a big problem with my memory. Some things I will retain however other things I won't recall 5 minutes later.
And the thing is is I use to help and work with disabled or handicapped people. I even learned American Sign Language, ASL, so I could talk to hearing impaired students. I loved being able to help others but hate being the way I am now. Also when I had the accident I rode my bike 200 miles a week, but in the more than 10 years since then I doubt I've ridden more than 500 miles, I sometimes wish I had been paralyzed instead of having my brain damaged.
That was just a couple of minutes, given more tyme I best I can find more quotes not just from Thomas Jefferson but several others of the Founding Fathers.

FalconThey have to be able to follow and investigate agents of foreign countries without the surveillance being discovered.
Yea, like Martin Luther King was a spy. Fact is is the FBI has targeted US citizens for peacefully demonstrating and protesting.
FalconI don't have any. And don't try to threaten to kill me either as I'm living on borrowed tyme and I welcome death.
And I mean that literally, I had a bad accident the docs said it would be a miracle if I survived. I wish I hadn't.
FalconAnd seeing as how Thomas Jefferson distrusted government I seriously doubt he'd agree either.
The Founder Fathers' actual views rarely align with the views of those that most often and loudly invoke their memory.
Would some of Thomas Jefferson's quotes convince you?
Thomas Jefferson on Politics & Government'. Quoted from the Founding Fathers. "When the government fears the people, you have liberty. When the people fear the government, you have tyranny."
That was just a couple of minutes, given more tyme I best I can find more quotes not just from Thomas Jefferson but several others of the Founding Fathers.
