From what I understand (I haven't looked at the source yet) is that the main difference between ALAC and FLAC is the byte order, which makes it cheaper to hardware decode ALAC. This probably made more of a difference 10 years ago when the processing power on iPods was lower.
.... Things like "SHOW TABLES" are either considerably more difficult in Postgres or harder to find out.....
More difficult? Harder to find out? Consult help by typing \? and you will see this: [snip] Informational
\d [NAME] describe table, index, sequence, or view
\d{t|i|s|v|S} [PATTERN] (add "+" for more detail)
list tables/indexes/sequences/views/system tables [snip]
Then type \dt to show the tables. To me that does not present it seld as more difficult or hard to find out.
If people were using these instead of horrible CSS hacks to make their pages work within IE then we wouldn't be having this conversation. Unfortunately too many people are still using CSS hacks to make their pages render properly.
By using browser specific stylesheets, assuming that IE8 is actually standards compliant like FF, then IE6 and IE7 can continue to load their stylesheets to fix their problems and IE8 will only load the non-specific stylesheet as FF does and then all will be good.
Since you place the browser specific stylesheet after the generic one the styles in defined in the browser specific stylesheets override the ones in the generic stylesheet, while the ones only defined in the generic one cascade down. This is the beauty of Cascading Style Sheets.
I just played Guitar Hero II for the first time. I've been playing guitar for 13 years no and I found out that I was horrible at the game. I'm not much of a gamer though, as the last game I got into was Doom II when I yas 13 years old. New video games are too complicated. I'll stick to the King's Quest series, puzzle games are better anyways.

This may be a stupid question, but what about health insurance?
I will be graduating with a B.S. in Computer Science in December and I get my health insurance through my job in retail sales. I want to go to graduate school because I want to do research and I want to teach. But if I leave my job I lose my health insurance.
Are there thousands upon thousands of grad students out there without health insurance or is it paid for/provided by the Universities?

Yeah most definately. I am running a Hauppague PVR-350 and use the composite out on the back of the card to run to my TV (my TV does'nt support S-Video). The quality is the same as that of the cable direct to the TV.

Cedega 5.1 Released
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
I've been off Microsoft(TM) for about 8 years. I fooled around w/ Cedega a while back and although it could install games I wanted to play (X-Wing Alliance, Command & Conquer). It would always segfault when I tried to run them. Now my hardware is nothing spectacular, but these games are older and shouldn't require the latest and greatest. I actually had better luck w/ dosemu to play another version of X-Wing vs. TieFighter that was DOS based instead of Win95 based.
I was wondering how much more taxing the games are on hardware than when running natively on a Win based machine. Also does Cedega have requirements itself?
This looks like a very promising magazine. However the subscription price is outrageous. $10 initially and then $6.95 a month when the issue is delivered. That is one damn expensive magazine @ $93.40 a year. Me thinks I'll stick to the free PDF version for now.
I personally used Oracle at work about 6 years ago. At that time the developer tools for Oracle (TOAD etc.) were bar-none the best. It also didn't hurt that my boss was an ex-Oracle developer. At that time PostgreSQL and MySQL were not nearly as mature as they are now. I currently am using PostgreSQL for most of my projects as I cannot afford to deploy a solution w/ Oracle and truthfully I have no use for 99% of the features that Oracle has and PostgreSQL lacks, not to metion the licensing costs of Oracle are just not worth it for me. PostgreSQL has come a long way, it is robust, has full ACID transaction support ans scales better than most people think.
However, this can also be a curse - MS is taking their sweet time, and this may be due to fixes, or it may simply be that they are developing stable, great features.
I just finished reading "The Inmates Are Running The Asylum" By Alan Cooper. This is an excellent book about usability and interface design and the such. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about the topic.
Since you are managing 10 servers you can build the packages from source yourself in order to get the customizations you want. After that you can install the packages on each machine. This gives you the best of both worlds, customization w/o having to compile ten times. Once you have the package built you will get the benefits of whatever package management system you are using.
That said, I myself tend to build everything from source since my machine's hardware differs greatly from one box to another and optimizations that work for one box will cause the code to unexecutable on another.

As for stability, I can't find any definite stats on this. Personally, haven't seen a Linux crash since 1997, and that's a pretty damn long time.
You're doin it wrong. :^)

Considering the fact that I am a vegetarian, this just goes to show why I don't trust the FDA.

Apparently Microsoft's PR department is better at serving content than their server software is.
Openbox is very much alive and kicking. The news page is just not updated all that often.

I think it's pretty obvious why this site died a few years back. Just remember that history is destined to repeat itself.
However, this can also be a curse - MS is taking their sweet time, and this may be due to fixes, or it may simply be that they are developing stable, great features.
I doubt it.
