I loathe anything forced onto me and as such, I'd not like to be forced to use the iPad. If anything, I would like to use one of the many Android devices or even Google's Chrome OS. Let's urge these many OEMs not to cede the educational market to Apple and its control freaks.
This cookie that is very hard to delete reminds me of IE bundled with Windows XP that I also failed to remove from my system. Even after manually deleting the program, typing `iexplore` at the run prompt would fire off IE without a hitch. What is man to do?
On the other hand, Steve Jobs was right. This is a bigger problem for Adobe. Let them admit thet they need some help wit Flash...maybe Linus hackers can help out.
Hey...who said God gave him a dime? God just 'enabled the possibility for him to make the millions...'. Read my submission. It is still up to him to make the money.
I have always wondered what I could do with just $1,000,000. When I hear folks making millions per year, I rethink my strategy to enable me make just a million.
It has never worked! But I am not down yet. The trouble is I am closely getting to my fifties with almost no hope in sight and my mortgage still has 21 years left on it.
My investments need lots of prayer and luck. It looks like I might end up a 'dirty' old retiree. People like this man Hurd should be thankful to God for enabling the possibility for making millions come to light.

As far as business logic, put that in PostgreSQL.
Well, in many cases of mine, programming this logic right into the form is faster and easier to manage than a full DB.
Case in point: While developing a healthcare app, I'd like to redraw part of the form that asks about pregnancies if the sex chosen earlier is 'male'. We all know males do not get pregnant for example. Putting this logic into the actual Db engine just slows things down in my opinion.
Here's another: Input masks. For example, the USA has a string of integers. On the form, I can program the mask to 'refuse' input other than 0 to 9. Or for countries like Canada that have zip-codes in the form 'A9A 9A9' where A represents an alphabetical letter and 9 represents a number between 0 and 9 inclusive, a form with an appropriate input mask is the best tool.
Though such logic can always be put into the back-end, letting the DB throw an error is typically characteristic of poor use of resources.
Agreed. Only that I was looking for open source applications. Know of any?

Yes first, congratulations to those folks. I am still waiting for a front-end to PostgreSQL that is as functional and easy to program as Microsoft's Access.
I might be flamed here but there is nothing that bests Access in the open source world. Being able to program business logic into a form is something that Access and VB are pretty good at.
What open source program can replace these two Microsoft beasts?
In my case, we're not allowed to use our cell phones for 'personal calls' at work. So what I do several times a day is to text. I put my phone in vibrate mode so when I receive a response, I feel the vibration then I simply look at the gadget. That's your reason for the spike in texting.
...Or should I have called it the Microsoft Pack? Yes, I can see this bundle allowing Windows Phone users to use their gadgets to work with MS Office documents in ways that no current platform Android or iOS can.
Remember the old Netscape vs Internet Explorer days? It's gonna be 'those times' played all over again. Folks, the future looks and promises to be interesting.
Tell me about Chrome when print preview is included. The trouble is that inclusion of this [basic] feature in Chrome will introduce yet another set of bugs. Scary! Come on Google.
You compare apples to oranges here. When I need a phone, I first look out for the phone itself then the service provider. Others may look at the carrier first. Can you say Android has done miserably so far? No!
On the other hand, when I am looking for a computer system, I look at the applications available, ease of use then the support. In this department, Linux is still wanting.
Google should stay the course with its Android licensing regime. It gives us choice...much deeper than anything otherwise. Just recently, LG launched entry level Android phones. This would be an after thought if it were not for Android's licensing regime.
Is it his opinion that the [default] desktop environment that Ubuntu provides is better for the Linux desktop ecosystem than all other environments at the moment?
Having tried the few options available, I hereby submit that there is an environment that in my opinion, is better for desktop Linux in functionality and license as compared to the default. I leave names out on purpose.
It looks like Dell only released the parts that they're required to under the GPL - so the summary is wrong in saying they released the "total custom Android 1.6 ROM"
Keywords: "It looks like"
Then you conclude that "...summary is wrong in saying..." Dude, are you sure of what you are alleging? Or did you read your submission before posting?
Simply recruit 10 neighbors and hook them to a 10 port router and wallah! At 35 bucks plus taxes, it's cheaper than many solutions and the speed is almost guaranteed to be superb 100% of the time. How about that?
Next time, please provide some [credible] numbers when talking about issues like this because from my vantage point, all folks I know that bought these iPads use them for about 30 minutes a day. Compare that to about 6 hours a day for their netbooks.
Seems all the hype around the iPad has waned! I personally will not use the gadget until it becomes more functional and even then, I will likely use a competing platform than Apple's.
"Modern Linux distributions are capable of a lot, and most hard problems are already solved for you. You just need to know where to look."
First off, I must say this piece says a lot about the Linux ecosystem. Specifically that this system's documentation is anemic at best. Why won't we have something like:
"What do you want to do?...with an associated answer...this kind of arrangement surely cannot hurt the Linux ecosystem.
It's not about the color...it's the theme...the feel and the technologies behind it. Compare the latest GNOME to the latest KDE or Windows 7 or even OSX then tell me which looks better.
Ugliness! Now Say I am a troll but default Ubuntu is ugly and therefore not pleasing to the eyes. When one slaps another desktop environment on it, things get appreciably better.
First, they (Google), failed or refused to integrate Gmail capabilities with Google Wave! In other words, I could not send an email from within the Google Wave interface! What reasoning was behind that?
Second, I just do not understand the logic behind their modus operandi of having usage by invite only or even suspending [new] registrations as was the case with Grand Central.
This way of doing things is just a non starter in my opinion.

AT&T are full of it! Instead of improving their network, they are busy doing this stuff. Where's the leadership?
On the other hand, Steve Jobs was right. This is a bigger problem for Adobe. Let them admit thet they need some help wit Flash...maybe Linus hackers can help out.
Bottom line: Flash sucks on Android big time.

Agree?
There is an ODBC driver for PostgreSQL. You can probably access a PG database using MS Access just fine...
That is not the bone of contention. What I wanted was an open source app just like PostgreSQL is. Do you know of any?
