Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Strange thing here. I have an Access table that swears the column type is integer, but there are text values in it. But this means I can't use it in a WHERE clause of a SELECT statement.
On the one hand, I'm trying to work out how it got that way. In the meanwhile--anyone seen anything like that? I need that query, dammit.
eta: Never mind. Something's linked weird so that browsing the table doesn't show you the integer value--instead it shows you the text value cross-referenced from another table. Huh. I didn't know you could do that.
Just to help the case I'm loving my iPhone.
How's the stripped down OSX, ND?
It works really well. It is OS X but it is all locked down so the user can't get to any of the os bits.
Maybe I'll go to the Apple Store today and see if I can play with one. I can't afford it and I'm still under contract with Verizon, but....want.
ION, I'm having an issue with Google apps (Gmail and Reader). At some point in the past week or so they've stopped automatically opening external links in new tabs, which was a feature I really appreciated. I can't find a setting to switch it back in any of the help menus. Anyone else having this problem and fixed it? (Or could it be a Firefox issue and not a Google one?)
I can certainly say the I'm very impressed with my iPhone. Make no mistake about how locked down Apple has made it though. It works they way they want it to and there is no real way to add anything. Hopefully that will change eventually but even with that limitation it is doing the main things I need my phone to do and it is doing them very well.
I'm sure there are at work hundreds of happy hackers out there looking to unlock the locks, too.
I'm sure there are. The reality is that while I enjoy playing with te hacks I rarely install them on devices I depend on for my work. As such this iPhone will most likely be only running the stuff Apple approves.
Jessica,
that's weird. that sounds like a firefox change. Did you install anything new in firefox that would have made that change?
Did you install anything new in firefox that would have made that change?
Not deliberately, but I don't always pay close attention to when it self-updates.
