The Software is a web based PHP5 App running both Mysql and Oracle on top of SLES9. It collects performance information (KPIs) and sends out formatted reports (PDF/XLS) to clients & customers. It's been running on IBM Xseries 336 serv

I know you said NYC, but I have to add Hoboken. I absolutely loved living there 2007-2008. The Path subway was nice and reliable and terminated at World Trade and as far as Maceys on 33rd. Here's some trivia. Hoboken has more bars per s

I don't mean the IT department upgrading their own computers, they probably already done so, I mean as a company. If they run an old citrix or MS TS then they're locked into XP. I've seen this first hand. A lot of global companies haven'

As a Brit who used to work in New York, for an investment company, I have a different view. While I agree my US fellow workers are very sociable during the day, they do tend to run off 5pm sharp! There's no "go for beers after work" enviro

I think we should remember why IE6 continues to burden us. All those companies spending millions adding Citrix and MS Terminal services to their network many years ago need a few more to get their ROI back. In these cash strapped times I

I'm guessing your no name poly is actually De Montfort university in Leicester? It was a dump back in 1999 when I got my 2.1 CompSci degree. An old friend of mine from uni moved from the UK to SanFran to work for Lucas Arts and I think it

I agree with you. However, truly outstanding apps will always do well. I downloaded Angry Birds Lite to my itouch, played the first few levels and promptly bought it. I also did the same with Tower Madness. There was an article on a fla

I guess Microsoft is still reeling about losing the HD format war to Sony! tbh, I think everyone knows that video streaming is the future and not physical disks. I give the format two years.

I've had nothing but trouble with HDCP. I've used HDMI matrix switches to transport a video signal around the house. 40% of the time I get the HD snowstorm so have to reboot the TV to attempt a second handshake. This gives a low Wife App

A hot piece of iron? Luxury. We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down t' mill, fourteen hours a day, week-i

Having money gives you options, having no money gives you limited options and being in debt you have none. Simples.

Yep. I've been there, and still paying back the loans I borrowed which finish end of next year. Third times a charm though. I now have 16% equity in a performance management biz which is doing well. I believe most successful business men

I don't agree. I've been working for a company for the last five years building the Software alone that could of taken perhaps one year. The company has no debt and a great balance sheet, however any big company could catch us up in six m
