Linux. It is absolutely stupid to have a GUI for a storage box. Solaris with ZFS actually makes a kickass storage server as well.

Seems like your db design might be a little inefficient. How exactly is everything laid out? From what I can make of it the query should only be on the movies column and the other columns in the table should not matter. Now that I see how the suggest feature works I am not so sure I like...

Hi, thanks for the response. I found that i can do what I want to do with regex queries and it works OK, so I think I am going to stay with those unless I see a huge performance problem. I have been asking around on the postgres IRC channel and no one seems to know a whole lot about full text...

I looked at netbooks for a long time, but at the current moment they can't do what I need them to do. I watch a LOT of flash video and the atoms just don't seem to be up to the task. Hopefully that GPU accelerated flash actually pans out... In a similar note, I just got a refurbished dell...

A lot of web frameworks can do this too as files and directories simply map to functions or classes in a programming language.

I have a postgres database that has a few tables with columns of type TEXT. These columns store unstructured text. I want to be able to search the text columns for specific things and also be able to do full text searches. After reading the documentation on the postgres website I can...

Offering a game programming degree is an easy way for a college to get students to come and pay 30-40k per year. If the program is taught well though it can be beneficial. Knowing about 3D graphics has more implications than just games. Think scientific modeling, military and industrial...

Bingo. I think OSX is really kicking Windows butt in both of these regards. Apple has really focused on both of those areas with Snow Leopard while Windows 7 is all about atoning for Vistas mistakes.

I ended up getting a dell inspiron 14z refurbished for 475. 2.0 Core 2 Duo 2GB DDR3 9400M 8 Cell Battery Its a pretty good deal (you have to use a 20% off coupon). http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?t=1595779

I am assuming as others have said that Microsoft is branching out to support future architectures. It would very unlikely that we would see an x86 style architecture extended to 128 bits such as it was extended with x86-64. Again, the addressable memory space is just a consequence of the size...

The bit length of a CPU architecture doesn't just affect the maximum size of the addressable memory space.

Ok so here is some text from the nvidia website. It does not specifically say that the ION can only be paired with an atom. "NVIDIA® ION™ graphics processors turn up the visuals on compact, low-power PCs with performance up to 10X faster than similar systems. When combined with a...

It seems like the ION is getting some positive reviews. It seems as though it beats the inte; 4500HD in most benchmarks. I have not seen an ION advertised on anything other than an atom CPU. It would sure be nice to see the ION paired with those new core 2 duo or core duo ULV chips that...

Good call. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5210428&Sku=G180-15440 I have always used newegg but it seems tigerdirect has some pretty sweet deals on laptops as well. Im thinking about waiting until after Windows 7 comes out though as it seems...

There was a review posted today: http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/hp-envy-13-review/ Seems like is nothing special. They noted that the battery only lasted about 2 hours with real world use. The extra battery brought it up to around 5 hours.

This review seems to point to better performance: http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/hp-mini-311-with-ion-benchmarked-it-goes-very-fast/

Doesn't matter. The only way they will upgrade off of IE6 is if people stop supporting it. There is NO excuse for still using IE 6 in any situation.

Primary things I do are programming, browsing the web, and hulu. I really wouldn't mind getting a netbook but I have heard the atom isn't great for HD flash. Also, I have a 24 inch 1920x1200 monitor I want to hook this up to and I don't think a lot of the netbooks can output that high.

People supporting IE6 is the only reason it is still around.

Windows: Notepad++ Powershell Linux: vim bash I have used Netbeans, Eclipse and JGrasp before. In general I hate all of the crap that IDE's generate for you.

When your talking about LAMP your talking about a software stack to support a modern website. When your talking about breaking it out into multiple servers, your really doing so because one particular piece of your project is being bottlenecked by being on one machine. In that case you are...

Yes that seems to be it. The last time I was seriously looking around at laptops was quite a while ago. I am liking the timeline because of the SSD, the battery life, and the thinless and weight of it. To be honest I wasn't really sure about the 4500HD. I know it won't play games too...

So this laptop looks pretty amazing but I am very skeptical despite the reviews: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115593 Mainly I am wondering how good these lower voltage core 2 Duo's are and also if it actually gets anywhere near the 8 hours battery life it claims.

I have this really crappy D-Link from like 2-3 years ago. Thinking about getting an N router and going wireless on everything due to my hatred of wires.

If the mac mini gets blue ray, what really is the point of the apple tv? I think they should just make the mini and the tv one product and then make the software available to all macs so that when you hook up any mac to a tv you get the same experience.

For a program this small I wouldn't even break it out into any methods, I would do everything in main. But yes, technically the Java way of doing things would mean creating an object in main and then calling each method.

I am a little curious why you are getting a double with console.nextDouble() and storing it as an int. Either cast it to an int, or store it as a double. You could also use console.nextInt() to return an int. The precision errors are caused because you are mixing types going from more precise...

Cent is not bad either. I prefer apt-get over yum, but I do like the service command over using /etc/init.d/* .

I would urge you to consider web frameworks like ruby on rails or django. They really abstract a lot of the database muck and allow you to focus on the site. Ultimately, when you start abstracting things, the choice of database doesn't make a huge difference.

Ubuntu Server is a really good LAMP distro.

Rumors have it that they might be updating all macs to support blue ray. I would defiantly wait until after the October announcement of new mac minis and imacs.

I would LOVE if that application linked to Hulu, CBS, and the other places where the shows are free.

I'm going to use Notepad++ for this I guess. Notepad++ is a surprisingly good editor. Tried some wiki software and wasn't all that impressed.

My family has an old Mac from 1995 with a 500MB hard drive. Last time I checked it still booted fine. I'm sure there are tons of people on this forum with even smaller disks that still spin up.

My current solution is to just use some wiki software to make the boxes and then take a screenshot and paste it into word. Kind of backwards, and messy when you want to change something in the code because you can't from within word.

You might be misunderstanding what I am saying. All I want to do is to be able to post source code in an MS word or Open Office document and have it be syntax highlighted. I don't want to use Word to actually edit the code or anything like that. I know for a fact that there a few libraries...

This would primary be for python, CSS, HTML, Javascript and SQL. I am currently looking at LaTeX intergration with word and open office. Seems like a lot of features I don't need or what though. It seems like such a simple task... All I really want to do is be able to embed a dotted line...

I think it is more of a security issue. A lot of places don't allow thumb drives or other media because they can bring in a lot of potential malicious software. Also, e-mail, unless encrypted is very unsafe. If I was trying to protect some intellectual property I wouldn't allow people to...
