And only the one without Kristen Bell will not suck. Unfortunately it won't make a dime, because all the teeny-boppers are going to the Bell one instead.
Someone suggested it above - you can use any linked ODBC database to access data from Access. You could easily move that data into a PostgreSQL database and be all set. Unless of course you have multiple copies of this Access database running around - then you might have consistency and security issues you need to worry about.
No shit. For fucks sake, how hard is it to make a stable driver interface? We've invented pretty much every stream and message-driven class of hardware imaginable...
No, it's the damn architecture wonks who want purity of essence. If the GCC and libc guys can get it straight, why not the kernel devs?
I would say that except for the movie, River Tam was more of a hindrance than a help. She had a couple good contributions, but only in the instance where she took over for Kaylee and shot the Feds did she really stand out, IMHO.
I think the over-the-top River in the movie was yet another effort by Joss to ensure that Firefly was dead and stayed dead.
I remember a batch of 50 Latitudes where I had to replace every keyboard and every motherboard before their 3year warranty expired. Every single one of 'em.
I also had about 40 GX desktops built on 9/11 all blow their power-supplies.
I built a 6TB RAID array a year and a half ago, and in just that time I've managed to almost fill it with a plethora of a VM infrastructure, a TB of digital photos, and a bunch of DVD rips for my Mac mini. I'm in no way a packrat.
Apple gets away with the walled garden approach, because it's seen as being a way to be part of an exclusive club.
Microsoft won't get away with doing the same thing. People only use Microsoft because they have to, and in some cases, have software that they depend upon. (Plus they do make good software). Put up a wall, and people will more quickly jump ship from your platform to an open on.
I have a die-hard Windows Mobile 6.5 user who will NEVER touch a Windows Mobile 7 phone because of the Microsoft walled garden. He's going to the inferior open platform.
Now this won't affect the masses, but it'll push enough - and Microsoft is in a place where it can only lose. Why? I can only assume it's from revenue sharing reasons - they don't want to pay to support open source competitors to their or their customers products. So it makes sense in a way.
The only reason I kept watching it was a very expensive IMAX ticket and I'm a student of the very bad B movie genre of the 80's (Truth or Dare http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092118/ - not the Madonna movie). I can tolerate anything, but the Watchmen is never going back on my watch-again list.
Outlook does not search instantly - it requires a plugin on XP, and the built-in indexing services in Windows 7 to function.
And Google Desktop seems to search better, though it is uglier.
Outlook has presense/resource scheduling down, and it's integration with Lync is going to be a killer app for a lot of businesses.
those businesses that integrate with Outlook via plugins and apps (of the VBA style) - those are the people you'll never be able to migrate and the FOSS world just doesn't have competitors for.
All my issues with Exchange died the minute Microsoft gave up on the whole X.500 addressing bullshit and built decent SMTP support into it. IMHO Exchange has been getting better and better as it ages.
Something I'm not sure I can say about SQL Server. Fricking.Net Enterprise Manager... grumble grumble.

Are you serious? Cisco and others have supported ipv6 in their routers for YEARS - since Cisco iOS 10.0 at the least.
The stuff coming out of Bollywood is as good, if not better than Hollywood. Like all outsourcing trends, I think Hollywood will become a victim too.
But yes, someday when an Amazon renderfarm is within a month or two's salary of a hobbyist, we'll see great CGI blockbusters from JoeSixPack.
I meant Stewart... Kristen Stewart... /sigh.. Preview mumble grumble.

Cerebus the Aardvark! Faithfully translating that would be AWESOME!
Great 119 minutes of planking... how awesome!
Then again, there's the argument that some of these college level courses should be high-school level.
Some college *does* benefit everyone. Accounting, or intro business management, etc.
But a degree? Not so much.
Evernote and facebook for me are the two that don't operate the same on iOS and Android. Is it really that hard?
Facebook, Google Voice and the default text messaging app on Froyo are FAMOUS for this.
Strange - every PC I've gotten that's VT aware in the past two years supports VT-d. And I buy budget boards ($80-130).
I think you fail to underestimate the contribution that Blackberry made to that space.
I don't think so. ISPs are going to start charging Netflix for the backhaul soon enough. That is a big part of their price increase, I think.

Perhaps you are too young to remember the days when Windows wasn't an operating system, but a windowing system that ran on top of DOS?
Better yet, don't overdraw your account.
A little math to keep track of your balances isn't too hard. Too bad most Americans fail at math.
