    MS Access to MySQL

    The only thing I could find to allow you to read a Access database w/o involving a PC was this ODBC driver. It is supposed to have full SQL query access but no write access. Costs a little bit of cash, but if you absolutely can't use a PC this will help you get your data out, given you know SQL...

    The MacBook is out

    Hah. Good luck! I tried, just for giggles to run Half-life 2 on my laptop. Sure it doesn't have the same processor performance but the graphics is about the same. I got around two FPS on extemely low settings. Doom 3 is more graphically demanding than HL2.

    The MacBook is out

    Dammit... Pretty sweet except other than the processor it's not a whole lot better than my Acer. Well it is, but I really was hoping they'd go bigger than the intel GMA950... That is a damn good deal though, good luck getting a laptop from dell with specs like that for the same price. The...

    How hard would this be to achieve?

    ... don't you have to get the url out of the text box and call some method when the user hits the return key? Can't you just hardcode the url and send off the message? Maybe it's easier said than done... but there isn't some magical event that gets triggered when a user hits return, there has...

    Stability (Do PCs still crash?)

    Yea... I don't like that ad because I haven't crashed my laptop... ever I don't think. I beat the crap out of my work machine on a daily basis (by beat the crap out of I mean running a ton of heavy apps at the same time) and I have never crashed it. I don't think I ever managed to crash my...

    New Apple TV spot (pc virus)

    I'm not so sure what you are talking about, but I hope it's not what I _think_ you are talking about. If Apple thinks it's a good idea to start bragging about being virus free, I think we are all in a lot of trouble.

    Let's see if your real face looks better than your desktop. Post your pic!

    Well, I just eyeballed it. But if I stand next to my G5 and line the bottom with my waist it comes up to my chest. If you look that the photo it starts below my waste and comes to about my chest. :-P It's hard to tell. The G5s are big, but not necessarily that tall. Compared to other computers...

    Let's see if your real face looks better than your desktop. Post your pic!

    This is a little something I did for my Facebook photo. I scaled it down quite a bit so you can't see how terrible I am at cutting things out in photoshop (I really need to learn how to use it correctly). It got a pretty good reaction from almost everyone that knows me, some thought it was...

    Whoa. How Did He Do This???

    This is pretty neat. I like the keyboard shortcuts a lot. However, I'm in the same boat as you guys with the "Is this really helping me?" deal. I kinda felt the same way about this as I did with the desktop managers for KDE and GNOME (It is pretty much the same concept). I always forget what...

    Motorcycles...

    That BMW is definitely sweet. It's a lot more money than I would ever spend on a bike though, at least so far. If I were to throw caution (and economics) to the wind I would totally jump for an R6. That thing has gotta be the hottest bike I've ever seen. The R1 is sweet too... but I kind of...

    Underclocked Video Cards?

    I wouldn't say that it is necessarily a poorly designed laptop. They just tried to squeeze way too much into a small box (OK maybe you could call that bad design). Most Core Duo boxes are a lot larger than the MBP, allowing for better heat dissipation. My Acer is small and it the fan gets loud...

    Underclocked Video Cards?

    I believe it would. The video card market is interesting. Two letters such as XT or PE can add a hundred dollars to the price tag and get you a slightly faster board based on the same chip. I don't see this being any different than a X850XT vs a X850XT PE. People _care_ about that PE. It seems...

    Underclocked Video Cards?

    WOAH!?!?!?! WHAT?! Not fair? How many years have we had Apple cramming their Pentium Burner benchmarks and numbers down our throats? We finally have comparable hardware and now it's not fair? Why?!?!? An X1600 is an X1600. ATI designed to a specification, not a suggestion. Check out that...

    Underclocked Video Cards?

    It's true that they didn't make any claims on the actual clock speed of the card but the name X1600 means something. Generally cards from different vendors utilizing the same chipset don't all get the same results, but they are extremely close. If I see X1600 printed on the box I expect to get...

    Underclocked Video Cards?

    The X1600 used in the MacBook is a _mobile_ video card. It's purpose is to be used in mobile or small form factor machines. Check out this CNet review. They only do one gaming test, but the MacBook is put up against an Acer TravelMate 8200 spec'ed as Notice, it has slower RAM and the same...

    Underclocked Video Cards?

    Apparently the MacBook Pro isn't configured to do what it is capable of. If you ask me it's a pretty cheap way to squeeze more battery life out of a machine. Maybe Apple should invest some time into creating dynamic clock speeds for video cards controlled by the energy saver much like what is...

    Motorcycles...

    Yea so I want a bike pretty bad. I'm kind of wondering how many of you ride, or have opinions on bikes. A lot of my friends are getting bikes this year and it's always been something that I've wanted to do but never really had the guts to. I'm a real sucker for sport bikes, they've been...
