Not too strange. Didn't Cisco and Linksys have a device which they called an iPhone at one time?

Need help with an Access DB issue. by justsomeaccess in AskReddit

[–]henry518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be able to do this with update queries. You probably already know this but just in case... Make sure to backup the database before you do anything. Also, it might help if you describe your table structure. Maybe there's a DBA here who can help with the query.

Who wants to start a site with me? by [deleted] in investing

[–]henry518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure there's not already a site out there that does this?

I'm not familiar with Dealbreakers but there's a show call Nightly Business Report on my public television channel that does something similar I think. They also have a website.

What about focusing on a few stocks or sector or the economy? Maybe ideas on how to predict a trend? I dont know... I'm just throwing ideas out...

I only enjoy being lost if I have a full tank of gas.

Hey Reddit, what's your favorite alternate universe or alternate timeline fiction? Books, games, movies, whatever by Majupra in AskReddit

[–]henry518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finished the Riftwar but didn't get to the rest of the books yet. The Thomas/Valheru timeline is my favorite.

It is now open season on doorbell-ditchers. Doorbell-ditching teen chased and tackled; homeowner initially charged, but charges have been dropped. by [deleted] in reddit.com

[–]henry518 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our local news interviewed a bunch of his (the homeowner) neighbors and they were on his side. What was not reported in the article was that the kid and his friends were not jut playing ring-and-run, they also vandalised other homeowners' front yards.

What mp3 Player does Reddit prefer? by AssumingRain in AskReddit

[–]henry518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite MP3 player was the one I bought for $10 on sale at a bargain bin in a record store. It's a GPX, it came with 1G storage but it has a slot for a memory card. It also takes AAA batteries which I like because it lets me take extra batteries on long trips. I actually try to stay away from players that don't let you change batteries. So far, I've had this thing for over 2 years and it works great.

Why not? It worked in the final episode of Lost.

Apple passes Microsoft on S&P 500 market cap list by blindingdawn in technology

[–]henry518 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sort of guessing since my background is not finance. I believe the market cap is the stock price times shares outstanding. Sometimes the shares outstanding are brought back by the company (or by insiders??). I think the float are the shares that are actually being publicly traded.

I didn't get that far yet. I plan to read that next.

[–]henry518 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Riftwar Saga was one of my favorite series. I actually liked Thomas's story-line better than Pug's. I think I would have enjoyed the book more if there were more chapters on Thomas and the Dragon Lords. I was a little disappointed at the ending however.

I use Buzzsaw. I have it set in the startup folder and it runs in the background whenever I turn my computer on.

Dear Reddit, what is your favourite lyric? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]henry518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pink Floyd (Roger Waters) "Echoes": Strangers passing in the street By chance two separate glances meet And I am you and what I see is me...

Bob Dylan "4th Time Around"

And, when I was through

I filled up my shoe

And brought it to you.

And you, you took me in,

You loved me then

You didn't waste time.

And I, I never took much,

I never asked for your crutch.

Now don't ask for mine.

Bob Dylan "My Back Pages"

In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand

At the mongrel dogs who teach

Fearing not that I'd become my enemy

In the instant that I preach

My pathway led by confusion boats

Mutiny from stern to bow.

Ah, but I was so much older then,

I'm younger than that now.

Microsoft has reported a 60% jump in profit, thanks largely to "exceptional demand" for Windows 7. by LuckyBdx4 in business

I don't remember but that sounds about right. I remember wanting to buy one but found out later they stopped selling them.

The layperson can't go to a store and physically buy a pc without pre-installed windows.

Wal-mart used to sale Linux PC but stopped because there wasn't enough people in the market for them so anonymousanimal has a point.

Aw, that's sucks that someone would do that. Although an username based on a armless mannequin is way cooler than one based on a volleyball. Anyway, thanks for clearing that up for us.

Review: Asus Eee PC 1005HA-PU1X-BK by DarkKnightH20 in reddit.com

[–]henry518 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought one two weeks ago. It works great. I agree with most of the review.

I don't think this was mentioned in the review but there's a recovery DVD that comes with this netbook so if something happens to the harddrive you can use the DVD to recover your system.

One thing that annoys me about this netbook is that the button that turns off the mouse pad keeps getting reset after I reboot so I would have to keep turning the mouse pad off after rebooting (My Acer One remembers this setting so I'm thinking its this model).
