Driving from Miami to NYC - What to do/see on the way?

Are you trying to make the trip in one really long drive on the way back... or breaking it into two days? If you are, a great place to stop would be Charleston, SC. It is only about a half hour off I-95 (maybe a little more) and the place is a blast. Cool historic town, fun beaches, and lots...

What language do they speak in the Ukraine?

A friend and I at work disagree on which language is the "common language" of Ukraine. I say that for the most part they speak Russian and he says that they speak Ukranian for the most part. Neither of us really have any idea...for all we really know they speak spanish there. Anyway, does...

Definitely a fake, but a well done one...I particularly like the Josie Maran one just because I think she is possibly the hottest woman alive.

Voodoo extreme?

Yeah, I thought it was his site too. He was a bit of an idiot, but he did bring some levity to the site that made it a little more fun to read than others. I think they were purchased by someone at some point or something like that, so maybe the new management didn't think too much of him...

Go to www.divx.com, and download the Divx 5.0 codec/player (the free version...that is all you need). This will install the codec on your system. Now, when you play the video with Windows Media Player (or the player included with the codec), everything should run properly. Codecs are not...

New GPU for my new CPU?

I am in the process of upgrading my old Athlon 650 with a new Athlon XP 1700+. I have a Retail Radeon 32MB DDR board in there that I bought over a year ago. I really would rather not purchase a new video card until I see what ATI comes out with next (successor to the 8500). The one game I am...

DDR RAM Slots

Thanks. That's what I had suspected. I don't think my buddy has one of those dual mthbds, but I think he has a something like a KT133A and thinks he has a DDR board because the salesman at compusa said it was or something. Anyway, thanks.

DDR RAM Slots

My motherboard seems to have died on my computer at home. It has regular PC133 SDRAM, and with the prices of memory rising, I was kinda hoping not to have to purchase new memory at this time. Anyway, I would like to purchase one of the DDR motherboards (KT266A) that would allow me to upgrade...

Three questions... What SQL DBMS (MS SQL Server, IBM DB2, Oracle)? Do you have Create Table Permissions in that Database? Is this a Temporary table... and if not, do you have the "select into/bluckcopy" option set to true?
