    Get ~ $380 by investing $10K credit from cc in 5% checking for 12 mo: list of 100 credit cards sorted by profit -5/28/8

To be calculated in a way to show profit with "no money down" you should take it out from the original $10K prior to banking it...

    Professional developers: Do you get good requirements?

    In a word no. You should always take into consideration who you are getting the information from. Ask pointed questions for details and those that really don't know what is needed will usually start babbling about things that are either not important or not on subject. When you start hearing...

    C# ?

    I think the key that no one seems to mention here is that the answer to this question has a lot to do with which direction you may or may not want to go with your career. Granted its difficult to decide something that big too early but you need to start somewhere. If you are going toward a...

    I need suggestions for learning

    Something I have always thought about doing was to build an app that would continually watch something like the stock market and automatically email/text me when certain conditions are met. I know you can get that type of thing from some places but the point is to do your own. Just a thought...

    Changing the background of an Edit Control

    I have a project that originated in MS C/C++ 6.0 and has been migrated to .NET but is not a full .NET app. I would like to change the background of an edit control but cannot seem to see how to do it. Its simple in VB but the way to do it in C/C++ seems to elude me. Any suggestions?

    ~~~~ IWANNA ~~~~

    I would like to find a hot deal on a print server for my home network. My first choice would be for the D-Link DP300U. I need at least a USB printer port but would like more than one. I would like a wireless version but would settle for a wired version. I have seen the D-Link for about $75.

    $99 - 2500+ BARTONS?

    Take a look at the CPU reviews and you will find that they don't really run any faster than the 2400+/2600+ non-Bartons in most cases. I think people are figuring it out and staying away from them, hence the demand forces prices down. The problem is that the barton chips have 512K cache but...

    HOT! 128MB e-GeForce FX 5200 Ultra for $129 with trade in

    If you really want DX-9 compliance, you still are getting the wrong card. It is too slow to really run the DX-9 games you are going to want to run ie Doom3 et al. If DX-9 compliance is important, wait for the DX-9 games to come out and then buy the best deal out there. You will then get a...
