That the database is mostly abstracted out to add support for other databases, like PostgreSQL.

I'm hoping.

+1. On today's computers, it doesn't really do anything noticable....

Yes, but what I mean is that 30 super-fast, well-written queries on a properly-indexed fifth normal form database are going to be much better than a single, poorly-written query on a not-even-third normal...

Only the 1G Nanos are customizable so far. The 2G Nanos (I have one), as far as I know, can't be customized yet with custom firmware, iPodWizard, etc.

Does your RAID controller offer a way of rebuilding the array? I would imagine RAID 1 would be ridiculously easy to rebuild and therefore possibly integrated into the controller's own software as it's...

The number of queries is irrelevant compared to their efficiency. I have a project at work which (necessarily, trust me; it's a statistical report) runs 217 queries on 0.3 seconds on crappy MySQL. And...

Are you asking about the SQL standard or Microsoft SQL Server 2005? If it's the latter, have you researched available ASP.NET forums?

An MP3 is not illegal. Only the content contained within it might be if it violates another's intellectual copyright and is not under fair use.

YouTube removes copyrighted material upon...

Uh, that's quite a gap in your poll. You start at 4 GB?

Mine is 2 GB, which is enough to hold about three full PSP games ripped from their UMDs. Modding my PSP was the best thing I've done...

It does, sadly. Firefox leaks memory like nobody's business.

I'm a rebel and use Opera. My only annoyance with it now is that, just on Vista, it'll often stay open even when you close the...

Not British, but I hate tea and prefer coffee. I actually don't like just normal coffee, even with cream/sugar, but coffee or espresso-based drinks instead like mochas...yet I like all mochas except for...

Patent != trademark.

Patent/trademark = http://uspto.gov/ + money + time

I'm running Photoshop CS2, a beta version of Dreamweaver CS3, and Office 2007 all on Vista Business with no problems.

There are some annoyances with Photoshop CS2 on Vista, all due to GDI+...

Dammit, why won't they just let MySQL die! There are so many other free competitors out there, most of which are so much more strictly relational and SQL standards compliant than freaking MySQL.

ASP.NET > *

The OO power and design of C#, views defined through XML, JIT compilation, not a pain in the ass like JSP (and I like Java)...good stuff. My only major gripe is that, for...

I haven't even seen a floppy disk in ages, except for a few days ago; before then, it was months, if not years. I can't remember the last time I used a floppy disk drive or a computer equipped with one....

As Kier said, Ajax is built on foundational web technologies. It's not possible to not "offer" Ajax without completely shutting down the web server, for all practical purposes.

$147k for my production site. $0 for my home server domain, at least one of them. $30 for a domain I registered on a whim. Finally, $9,500 for a domain another guy offered me around $50 or $200 or something...

That's some crazy-fast cooking time. Explain this feat. I like pesto....
