    Which text editor do you use?

    I personally use UltraEdit. I just leave it open all the time and ctrl-n when a need a new note, txt file, whatever. Column mode is useful, as is the syntax highlighting. One of the few programs worth paying for. For all the people advocating vi, I'm surprised that no one has bothered to...

    POLL- Internet Explorer, are you still using it?

    You should really look into a download manager, or a website copier. There's a better way to do what you want than manually copying your internet cache. With Firefox and the Flashgot extension, I right-click, select "Flashgot All" and it takes care of the rest. But, it sounds like in your...

    I've got an IBM thinkpad 600x

    I had a 600e a few years ago (lower specs than the 600x). I swapped a DVD drive into it and it played DVDs just fine.

    Operating System

    A full version will not require a previous version of Windows to install. What you want is something like this: http://www.newegg.com/app/View...=37-102-151&depa=6. Or, if in doubt, ask a store employee if it will suit your needs. A K-Mart worker might not be the best person to...

    My slipstream conquest!

    I haven't gone that far, but your post has inspired me to follow in your footsteps. Thanks for posting what you did, it's *very* cool. All I've done was slipstream SP1 and my CD Key into a custom XP disc. The only problem I see with installing separate apps after the OS install is that...

    SQL datatype comparison help

    Did you try casting the char as a varchar? where thefullname = cast(username as varchar) I don't know if that's the problem, though. This could be something different, but I'm not sure what.

    SQL Update not working

    Everything that has been mentioned above are good things to look at. It looks like there are two general possibilities for the problem. 1. The SQL is bad. 2. The app/script isn't doing what it should be. You can test #1 by pasting that SQL code directly into the query analyzer (is...

    SQL Update not working

    I don't see anything wrong with that update statement other than what bunker pointed out. Check the datatypes of zip, phone_no and cust_no in the database.

    Winamp playlist sorting question

    I know, I always end up using that. What I mean is, is there a way to sort by filename by default when files are added, so that I don't have to click misc>sort>filename every time I add an album? I have .m3u's for most of the albums, but some don't, and that's when this problem arises.

    Winamp playlist sorting question

    When I add files to Winamp, they show up in some random order. Is there a way to have them always sort by filename? I always name my mp3s with the first character being the track number, so if they were sorted by the filename, the album would play in the correct order.

    A good notebook?

    How are the HP notebooks? I've seen them pretty cheap, but are they of decent quality?

    A good notebook?

    I've been looking for the same thing. I've more or less narrowed it down to the Dell Inspiron 9200 or one of the Toshiba Satellites. I think Toshiba has the s609, s620, s607 and some others. You might find a sale on the Toshiba at Best Buy or something. For the Dell, they are pretty...
