Help with OLD scsi drive

I have a Seagate 5.25" ST-225N SCSI drive which I need to grab some files from. From what I gather it has a SCSI1 interface with a 50 pin connector ( http://stason.org/TULARC/pc/hard-drives-hdd/seagate/ST225N-21MB-5-25-HH-SCSI1-SE.html#.UcxIFyh7ZhE ). The only SCSI card I have available right...

Looking for best / easiest Linux firewall.

Not linux, but pfSense gets my vote as well. It has the greatest GUI I've seen on any router/firewall.

Share Login Info Between Windows Apps?

What if you just make a common launcher for all the apps? You make that launcher a "singleton" process, so there can be only one instance of it. Then user would open the launcher -> type in login info -> then click on whatever app she wants to run. Then when she wants to start one of the other...

creating userID (int) - Use AutoIncrement?

What dbms are you talking about? Should have no issues updating the primary key as long as the foreign have 'on update cascade'.

Why not MySQL?

uuuh... yes I don't want the database to assume what it is that I wanted to do. When I set the rules on a table, it should not adjust my data to fit those rules (unless I explicitly pass it through a routine which does so), it should either let the data through if it matches or deny it...

Why not MySQL?

Mysql is an abomination. I've always said so.

Is php still the defactor standard for web apps in Linux?

That has nothing to do with cross platform. Like dwell said, people won't be using the MS libraries on other platforms and obviously MS seem to have figured out how wasteful it is to be constantly re-inventing the wheel instead of using existing technologies that are already in active...

Hah... silverlight... I forgot that existed :D I remember that case now though, when you mention it. Maybe I need to pay more attention to what MS is doing. Still, call it fud, but it's always gonna be in Microsoft's best interest to keep developers working on their precious Windows, so they...

Is php still the defactor standard for web apps in Linux?

Well, as says in mono's contributor rule no1 Doesn't exactly spell out ".NET is free" I know MS has released some things FOSS, but lot of .net is completely closed and other parts are only available for debugging purposes through VS (officially) using a very restrictive license. What's your...

Free and free are two different words. You don't have to pay for .net, but you aren't free to look at the source code, modify or distribute it.The latter is the "free" that matters. Some chunks of .net are open source now, but I don't think you're even allowed to look at it outside of visual...

I just don't like using closed source languages and frameworks. So that when I run into a bug or am doing unconventional things with it, I don't have to guess how the code I'm calling works and go through massive trial and error sessions trying to figure it out, I can just read it (or modify it).

You mean availability as in the ability to find hosts that support it? I don't think you'll have a problem with RoR or python. Ruby on rails is getting increasingly popular. Python as well with web frameworks like django, pyramid/pylons and others. All these frameworks have at least one...

PHP is just one workaround on top of another over the original poorly thought out design. Then users of the language have to work around the workarounds in the language with more workarounds so your code will just be one massive workaround. The best workaround in php is to work around php all...
