    Oracle Looks for Chipmakers to Acquire

    Fujitsu's SPARC division would make sense, but if they: "want to play in every important industry", then Via, Transmeta, ARM and AMD would all make some sense. Then again, maybe buying Tilera would make sense we well.

    India's $35 Tablet is Fairly Impressive

    I didn't read the article before, I just went straight for the video and have missed where he says that of the $35, "750 rupees are subsidies anyway". In the video, the minister says (begins at about 03:47): "If I were to place an order with the manufacturer today, he would supply me a million...

    India's $35 Tablet is Fairly Impressive

    I don't think it was mentioned the device would be subsidised by the Indian government. The minister said that they were promised that should they buy a million of those devices, the government would pay $35 for one of them. If it were to be sold via retailers, it would cost more. That was...

    Pretec M2100 SATA+USB SSD

    Hi everyone, does anyone have any information on the controller and real performance of the Pretec M2100 SSD? It can be found for decent prices, but without knowing what controller it uses and without reviews, it's a cat in a bag. Thanks :)

    I have given up on my SSD

    Are you sure recommending Arch to someone who likes Ubuntu is a good idea? I am an Arch user myself, but I would hesitate to recommend it to someone who likes Ubuntu, because they're probably after something akin to Windows, not having to edit config files after browsing the wiki when setting...

    Short Stroking Question

    I have tried short-stroking a 7200.7 120 GB Barracuda to 30GB and then simply creating 30GB partitions on it. When measuring the difference with HD Tune, there was no real difference between the short-stroked drive and first partition of a partitioned drive. For ordinary use, I think...

    Kingston ssdnow v series

    I thought I might contribute some data from the CrystalDiskMark benchmark: Kinston SSDNow V-Series 64GB (1st generation) from earlier today: http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/7227/kingstonssdnowvseries1s.png WD6400AAKS HDD, first 160GB partition...

    Computer too slow when seeking

    I'd suggest creating a 30-60GB primary partition for the system, it helps and if you keep your data on other partitions, reinstall procedures are much faster if needed.

    Copy entire Oracle table to SQL Server

    Which version of SQL Server do you have? If you use SQL Server 2008 Enterprise edition, check this out: http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlperf/archive/2009/08/14/using-ssis-to-get-data-out-of-oracle-a-big-surprise.aspx

    insert into a table through openquery

    Sorry, I didn't get to look at my e-mails yesterday evening. I think that unless you need to use variables from SQL Server, doing the copying directly in Oracle would be better. I'm not sure whether SQL Server's optimizer wouldn't decide it wants to pull the data inserted from one linked...

    insert into a table through openquery

    Look here for reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188427.aspx In short, try this: insert into openquery(myoracle, 'SELECT col1, col2 FROM table1') SELECT col1, col2 FROM table2; That should work if I read your post well and you want to insert data from a SQL Server table into...

    Kingston ssdnow v series

    It seems it is the second generation of the V-Series, so it might be OK in practical use. I got the first generation 64GB V-Series for my birthday and I wish I hadn't asked for it. It played very well with Windows XP Pro (32-bit), but its performance with Windows 7 Pro just isn't what I hoped it...
