my university has a strange marriage with M$.... we can download office 03, XP, project, visual studio, ms sql server etc. for free and use it for as long as we're a student
just for the record - I have no interest in giving MS any of my money |

How do all the OpenSource Coders make any money giving away free code.??
This is a question folks at work often ask me.. My standard reply is that a lot of developers have "real jobs" and OpenSource is a hobby.. |

Well, you really have to think here that not all GPL and BSD code is free ... it may be opensource but you still have to pay for it.
You're right, most coders do it as a hobby ... |

A stick Hi guys, thought I'd pop in and say hello. Nice timing and all with the demise of that poor site. I wondered why the front page hadn't been updated for like two years! Just got into FreeBSD as I was looking for a stable OS for a NAS server I'm building for home use. I've mainly been a windows tinkerer but drifted on to linux when my job required so I have a little basic knowledge and know a few commands. This time though I want to get right into it (I've tried in the past but it always seemed to take such monumental effort). Eventually I'd like to turn my NAS server into a dsl/wifi/gateway/router and do away with my Netgear router. But one step at a time. BTW I'm not some Windows worshipper. It's just what I grew up on (after DOS and C64s that is. Yes I am that old). Anyway I'm sure we've all had this discussion many times so I'll stop now. |

another "i don't like m$" post. a few weeks ago i had to install office 2008 on my boss's computer (vista business) and it took about 45 minutes. 45 minutes for that dam' office. on an xp ws takes about 10 minutes top. i don't use vista, i do not plan to use vista but that's sort of outrageous.
all the best, v |

just like my experiences with many applications recently released by microsoft, i just get bloody lost and frustrated using them:
MSN Live office 2008 vista This ribbon crap drives me nuts and their look and feel is so inconsistent! |

Speaking of error messages, take a look at this one. I received this when trying to add a trigger to an ms sql table
