How can anyone defend that jackass Imus?

People need to lighten up. Imus insults everybody's ethnicity and religion without fail. He's said far worse about people from my background. More importantly, he's been contrite and apologized non-stop for the past few days. His show needs to go on because it is the only one of its kind on...

SQL question: why doesn't this work?

Is sum_date stored as a string or date? Maybe you need to convert sum_date to a true date?

ORACLE HELP!!! :(

Yeah, you need to assign a tablespace to that user. A tablespace is a logical storage unit that maps to one or more data files. The user will have his/her tables stored in the tablespace. If you already have a user tablespace setup: alter user <USER NAME> quota unlimited on <YOUR TABLE...

Surviving Off-Shoring

How's that working out? Regarding building business knowledge and better ties with management, I agree that's the way to go. I'm just not sure I might have enough time.

Surviving Off-Shoring

So rumor has it my employer, an educational reporting company, is looking to off-shore some of the engineering work we do to reduce costs. Much of it is basic ETL scripting in Python/Perl and some JSP/Servlets development. They're looking to retain 'core' product innovation efforts here at home...

Network Drive / SFF Box

Infrant seems to have a nice expandable RAID based NAS solution. I'm looking into it, seems viable.

Sharp Aquos @ 1366x768 w/ Nvidia 6800GT

Does anyone know a wasy of running a 26" Aquos LCD TV in its native resolution 1366x1768 w/ a 6800GT. I've tried Powerstrip many times over, I'm able to switch to what looks like a resolution of 1366x768, but the problem is that it seems to display a virtual desktop instead.. It looks like the...

Powerbook 15" @ 1.5GHz

Thanks to all who shared their Eclipse on (i|(Power))book experiences. I guess I'll stick with Gentoo on the T42 till the new Powerbook's show up.

Powerbook 15" @ 1.5GHz

I don't care as much about objective performance metrics like clock-for-clock comparisons. What matters to me is performance in the apps I use across platforms, e.g. Eclipse and OpenOffice. More importantly I don't do any graphics related or any floating point intensive applications. Even so...

Powerbook 15" @ 1.5GHz

The reason why I'm a little hesitant is that my bro's eMac 1.25GHz G4 seems kind of slow for day to day tasks. I would love to switch back, but I need at least near equivalent performance as my current lappy (t42 @ 1.7 dothan).

Powerbook 15" @ 1.5GHz

I had to let go of my 1GHz 15" Powerbook because it felt too slow to me (e.g. @ running eclipse). Since the 1.5GHz 15" Powerbook came out, I've become more hopeful, but I'd like to know what kind of performance I can get out of it compared to lets a 1.6 GHz Pentium M in an IBM T41 for tasks such...
