Not knowing mySQL well, here is my best guess.MySQL should be fine for personal stuff, and for proto-typing. Porting/adapting SQL code is no big deal if you are a competent programmer.Oracle and DB2 seem to be preferred by Brick and Mortar companies. More progressive companies seem to be happy with mySQL, and other SQL databases.If you want to be saleable as a consultant, you'd do well to have Oracle on your resume. I see a lot more jobs for Oracle than DB2.

I disagree. I'm a firm believer in combing for unnecessary services.That's good idea, however, virus alway names its process with the same name in windows and make us some difficult to find it manually. Besides, in Windows XP, there are so many processes, it's hard to find the bad process.
Remember that these services consume memory and CPU - so anything that isn't necessary has to go! That being said - I agree that there are many people who are not savvy enough to do this with confidence.
But with a little knowledge and application you can speed up your machine greatly. For instance, if you don't use any form of unix whatsoever, why run an NFS service, or LPR/LPD, for that matter. Chameleon used to have a service (PortMapper??) that used to just bog machines incredibly, yet most people never used it.

Check your download directory, especially if you have a fast internet connection.I often download large packages into temp. Sometimes you end up with a .zip file which creates a directory with the same name and all of the unzipped files underneath.I currently have 12.5G wasted in temp. One big one is the trial version of Dreamweaver.js

If linux were Solaris, all of the accolades might be justifiable, but with so many different variants I can't be bothered. Reality in my limited (silicon Valley) world is that large companies use Windows and Solaris, AIX, or HP-UX.Therefore, there are more jobs requiring those skills. Very few companies have standardized on Linux, just check the job postings.Just my opinion - worth as much as I charged for it.js

We've all pretty much switched over to AdAwar 6.0 by LavaSoft. This is a really good program and deserves mention. I have no interest in AdAware or LavaSoft, it is just great stuff.There was a program that had a similar name to Spybot Search and Destory that was spyware. Spyware Search and Destroy is NOT spyware itself. Where you heard that I have no clue.
Where did you hear it anyway? If you're still a bit suspicious go here:

And you'll see press coverage of spybot. If its spyware how come it got press coverage and people love it? It also won some awards as well

But is it expensive to install a wireless network in your house? Approximately how expensive is it?
Approximately $80 for a 54M 11.g 4-port router and less than $40 / computer.Existing computers can accept a standard card, a PC Card (notbooks in particular) or you can even hook up via USB. All can be had for under $40.

Is it possible to change my IP? I didn't think it was but apparently you can do it without contacting your ISP. I heard you run cmd.exe, then type ipconfig/release, then close it, wait awhile the type ipconfig/renew. Is this possible? If not how can I do it, can I just unplug my modem for a day then I might have anew IP?
This can work if you're DHCP enabled, but it sounds as if you want your own static IP. You can usually assign IP addresses on your internal network, but if you want to be able to get to it across the internet, you'd need to get a static IP from your ISP or register a domain.js

do you think programmer is a good job?
if you think it is good, then how long/many years you will be a programmer? hole life?
From here in Silicon valley:The only reason our jobless rate is falling is because people are moving out faster. We lost around 1,500 jobs the last 2 months but 5,000 adults left the area so our jobless numbers are lower.
Most all companies now view programming as a commodity and off-shore a great deal of it (mainly to India, but sights are already set on China). Even GE here does not accept bids from US contractors for programming.
I know many, many programmers who have had to take massive pay cuts, have spent a long time un-employed, or changed careers (as I did after 23 years).
Example, one programmer I know used to make $85/hr as a contractor is now working for $60,000 permanent. This in an area where a 2 BR apartment is $1,500/mo.

i'm not good skilled in ASP, but i suppose you have to test first if rs_abs is empty before trying to get its value.
Also you may want to try a nested sub-select with a WHERE EXISTS clause.js

Assuming mySQL syntax is SQL 92 compliant try a simple join:"SELECT STAT1 FROM stat_table WHERE GAME_ID=1 ORDER BY STAT1 DESC";SELECT a.stat1, a.userid, b.usernameFROM stat_table a, user_table bWHERE a.userid = b.userid AND a.game_id = 1ORDER BY 1 DESC;This should get you close. I am confused however, because your ORDER BY clause should produce2 fy1 ykiinstead of what is in your post.js

Wireless networks

WEP = Wireless Encription Protocol
WEP can be up to 128-bit strength. A WEP key or code can be generated by using a passcode. This is so you can easily remember instead of having to type in hexadecimal all the time.
I use WEP on all my wireless connections.
Another thing that I use and would recommend is MAC address filtering. When you purchase a wireless router and configure it in infrastructure (vs. adhoc) mode; you can specify each specific MAC address that can connect to the network. If you have a home network, this makes a lot of sense. After all you don't want to let just anyone in, right?
