It seems so stereotypical that these sorts of messages are usually in uppercase with some aggressive subject line. Sort of the net equivalent of temper tantrum. And the message usually contained within is inevitably semi-incoherent or lacking any cogent presentation of the poster's arguments. It amounts to running into a room, tossing a stink bomb, then running off. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/imag

This is pretty nice. Unfortunately WindowBlinds seems to capture the right mouse click. Is there a way for this to work in conjunction with WB?
Unfortnately you can't. If you want a cool command prompt you'll have to use some 3rd party prompt window like econsole (for which I do not have the link).
That's pretty slick. Hats off to Brian for that. Now I can share my thoughts in realtime with the rest of you. Only problem is my thoughts are usually few and far between. And when I have 'em they're not particulaly deep.
Crae, I thought I saw an ODBC driver for MySql somewhere, but I could be wrong (this was a long time ago). As for Access, one of my previous jobs, the company wanted to switch over to Access for the backend of ther enterprise app in order to offer a cheaper alternative. It was comedic, it sort of worked but was terrible and ended up giving up on the idea (at least while I was still there).
Joe, what paxx was referring to is that Microsoft Access is not an industrial strength database. It's not meant to be. It's meant to be a desktop database that can handle relatively few simultaneous connections. So its good for test/learning purposes or really small non-desktop applications. (I don't know what kind of load Access can handle). In the real world, .NET applications use Microsoft's more industrial strength database called MS SQL Server. Or they could use IBM's DB2
Yep. If given an infinite number of monkeys who were to bang on an infinite number keyboards an infinite amount of time, staticically you would expect at least on .PL file to make sense to due to random chance. You'd be wrong
jcg, (and anyone else who is looking for a good jukebox program), speaking soley as a user and not a skinner. You may want to give Media Jukebox a try. If MusicMatch works for you great! I initially tried MusicMatch and switched to Media Jukebox. IMHO, I find it nicer, faster, with excellent features, and and good UI design. They've also got a nice online user community much like the one here which is one of the things that attracted me to Media Jukebox (I never could find a MusicMatch web-board
Cool. I'd love to give it a whirl on my system sometime (you can never geek out enough). I think I was trying to be too bleeding edge at the time. So when paxx becomes janitor, can we kick him around too?
Personally I think traditional CGI is crap especially on OSs where process creation is expensive. traditional CGI was shelled out into a separate process and the output captured by the web server. Process creation on nix's is relatively lightweight so its not too bad. Process creation under Win NT is expensive and can hammer the server. Hence the fact that most backend stuff on NT is done via a pool of threads within a given process space. Years ago I wanted to use PHP on WinNT but it w
IIS is microsoft's web server. It processes ASP pages to produces HTML. The other popular web server is Apache (http://www.apache.org). It's a free, open source web server. I'm not too sure what scripting languages its supports. I imagine it supports Perl ahd PHP. Access is Microsoft's desktop database (though it can be used as a database for web site that don't get a lot of hits. Microsoft's industrial strength database is MS SQL Server. MySQL is a free, open source databa
They're all langagues that are run on a web server that takes a web request, processes it returns a response in the form of HTML back to your browser ASP is Microsoft's product (Active Server Pages) and uses VisualBasic Script and JScript to do this server side processing. JSP is Suns' product (Java Server Pages) and is similar to ASP except that is uses Java as the language PHP is an open source language that is used for the same purpose. Perl (Mod Perl) is an other oopen s
As a fellow Media Jukebox user, it would indeed be nice if there were more skins for it (and if the skins were located here. Hey, I like to use WC for my on-stop skin shopping )
paxx, if you were a real man you'd learn Perl Just kidding. Perl code looks like someone left the Cap Locks on and let his kid jump up and down on the keyboard. Good luck with the PHP, you'll figure it out. It's something I'd like to mess around with someday. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.g
DesktopX uses Micosoft's Active Scripting technology to control DX objects. There are a several Active Scripting-compatible languages that therefore (IIRC) would work with DesktopX, VBScript and JScript being the most common. You can perform XML/XSL processing easily in these scripting languages. Microsoft has script-friendly APIs for doing so. You can use XSL to transform the XML to whatever format you want (text, HTML, ...) There is a DX Web Broswer Control/Script Object exam
Migellito, IIRC, Amazing Spider-man is currently being written by JMS (the guy who created the TV series Babylon 5 (and wrote nearly every epsisode of the show). He also has another comic book series called Rising Stars (Top Cow comics I think). So the resulting comic books are, as you would expect, well written.
Arrgghh... It's like this website is powered by BabyASP or something...

I'd trade in a Sheryl Crow and upgrade to a Gwen Stefani or a Kylie Muh-whatever her name is.
Hey all, is there something going on behind the scenes of WC or is it hitting new levels of bandwidth usage? It's been slow on and off the past two weeks, but lately its getting pretty bad. Or maybe its just me and my neck of the internet woods.
Winamp fixed my 'roids.
I've got CrossGen's Meridian graphic novel. It's really quite good. I'm tempted to pick up their other graphic novel compilations: Ruse and Scion.
