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!
Do you think that the need for ACID transactions is overstated, then? I have to cop to being a whore for normalisation, so I'm going to have to ask a whole lot of questions.
Kick start my imagination. The textbook first app for relational databases is often an invoice, so that the fledgling programmer can get the sense of the relations between customers, invoices, and invoice headers and detail lines. Would you suggest the development of the data model (many to one relationships, et al) be done differently on paper too? Or is it just how you translate that into the digital realm?
You know what my three table structure looks like--tell me about your filesystem.
Hey Drew, when you eventually wake up and poke your head in here, I have a question for you (or omnis, or anyone else who pokes their head in here and can offer an informed opinion):
I was looking around for tips on trying to get Pro Tools running on Leopard. So far, I have had no luck finding info on how to get it running. And in fact, a lot of people (who aren't just waiting on Digidesign to release an update) were talking about just switching to Logic.
So, aside from the fact that I already possess a copy of ProTools and Logic Studio is $500, is there some other reason I should use ProTools instead of Logic Studio for a sound editing suite?
In my opinion ProTools has a much more streamlined workflow. There's a reason pretty much every professional studio uses ProTools.

Good enough reason to not spend $500. I was just wondering.
I mentioned here previously about the utter uselessness of Home Depot's web site search function.
A search for the words "fire extinguisher" returns three items, none of which are fire extinguishers.
I
know
they sell fire extinguishers. I bought the two we have in the house there.
logic is better for composers. PT is like an editing recording studio. If you write music, Logic is a powerful app. If not, NSM.
I have Logic Express and keep wanted to learn it better, but I've just found the workflow for doing non-composition based editing very bad. It may be better in newer versions.
I mentioned here previously about the utter uselessness of Home Depot's web site search function.
As I mentioned earlier, the site well and truly sucks. I'm guessing that when they decided to set it up, their VAR asked "Do you need any help installing Windows?", and they said, "Nah, we've got plenty of folks on the payroll who can install windows."
