Have you looked at commercial database programs? There's lots of open source programs database programs, but they tend to be difficult to use for the end user (you could write a nice php front end for MySQL, but it may be time consuming). Rather, why not try (I shudder to recommend a MS product, but...) Access or the newly released FileMaker Pro 7? I can attest to FileMaker's ease of use (though I'm still on version 6) and its relative performance. Granted, it's not free, but at $300, it's not too overpriced.
Eurogamer: Do you see Xbox, then, as a kind of VHS or DVD style standard for gaming in the future?
J Allard: I think that's very much how the XNA thing could play out.

Now that there's a duopoly, it's hard to determine the SDK's pricepoint. On the one hand, they'll want to price it attractively, presumabley to put pressure on Sony; yet it's Microsoft, the company that has found infinite ways to maximize their profits.
The U.S. now ranks eleventh internationally in residential "broadband" access. Using the FCC's silly 200-kilobit-per-second definition, some now say that 25 percent of American homes have broadband. But by the standards of Asia--where most citizens enjoy access speeds 10 times faster than our fastest links--U.S. residences have no broadband at all.
Hi, I'm Mr. George Gilder. You may remember me from such other testimonies as "Manipulating data" and "Obfuscating statistics."
I would like to inform you that ubuiquity of broadband is in no way related to population density.
found that less than one percent of the 629 federal data sets they studied appeared to have notable value to would-be attackers
Less than one percent of 629 is still 6. Granted, six isn't a large number when one considers it's relative relation, but it's still a number greater than zero.
If everyone is supposed to get vaccinated, but few choose the "pirated software" route and DO NOT get faccinated, who's fault is it if they get polio?
You're right, it's entirely their own fault for ignoring calls to do the responsible thing, namely vaccinate themselves.
However, it's you and I that suffers as well when they don't; we're the ones who end up paying (through taxes or higher insurance premiums) the cost of their treatment. Likewise, the extra traffic on the internet affects us both, though the adverse impact is not as strong as if our computers were infected.
My point is, allowing pirate to download service packs would be beneficial for society as a whole. I don't think if five percent more computers were protected, that would correlate to five percent fewer infections; rather, the effect would be exponential.
So much for the herd effect. It's simply, really. If everyone but me has gotten a polio vaccine, I'll still be fine because the polio has nowhere to hide.As soon as 10 - 20 percent of the population isn't vaccinated, suddenly the problem [polio] reemerges.
A favoured theory is that the dark matter consists of Wimps (weakly interacting massive particles) about a thousand times more massive than a proton
My training in physics is quite elementary, but I was led to believe the proton is relatively massive on the atomic level, especially when compared to an electron. How could a wimp be so large and yet unnoticed?
Jens of Sweden normally has excellent product design, so it's somewhat unfortunate that the button size appears to be as small as possible. The 4-way rocker doesn't look like it'll be fun to manipulate.
I initially thought this might be a great idea, and one that would eventually be widely used. Imagine a small kiosk in a grocery store, for instance. The footprint is no more than 9 square feet, as all that's really needed is a budget computer with a high speed burner hooked up to a broadband connection.
But within a few years, when broadband becomes ubiquitous, might physical distribution be eliminated altogether?
The other concern, of course, is that of the inevitable virus slipping through as a "patch."
I'm completing a master's degree in adolescent education, and within a few months I'll be able to secure a position in a NYC public school.
Will it bother me that my base pay will be all of 38k during my first year? No, it won't: I love teaching.

GNU Cash isn't all that extensible.

Can I upload a photo of me with my tin-foil hat on?

Why can't Microsoft understand the basic concept?

Sure, we're number 97, but at least we made the list. Take that number 98!
The "community" is composed of people who have paid Mandrake for the privledge. Thus, for a monetary payment, one is allowed early access.
Special treatment for those that have paid. Sort of like a frat, only without the kegs and girls and whatnot.
