    Windows 10 End of Life

    Linux is the answer. A basic question that everyone needs to ask as W10 sputters out of existence: Do you really need to remain in a Windows environment? I would say that Linux offers most everything that MS Windows offers. In the majority of cases, you do not need to remain within the MS...

    Another example of fake news

    It worse, as it goes beyond a simple numeric argument. Democrats know how to phrase an argument in a misleading manner that makes them look good. For example, the Democrats shutdown the government by not passing a Continuing Resolution (CR). They then (falsely) claim that it is a Republican...

    What IS this left-over from a rental house? Cable, modem, router, alarm system, what?

    Unfortunately, the resolution of the image did not allow for reading the label (or the light labels) on the device. The cord looks to be an Ethernet cord. It should also have, printed on it, something like "cat 6". Check the outside of the house and see if there is a wire entering the house at...

    A great idea to fix our universities

    This should apply to more than just the universities. It needs to be extended to a whole variety of programs. Grants are not free money! The grants are funded by federal tax receipts. Too many states view grant money as "free" money since state tax dollars are not used to fund the programs...

    Oikophobe: Word of the Day

    Western society has been committing cultural suicide over the past few years. Finally, courtesy of Grok; got around to seeing if there was a one word descriptor . Seems that this is a word that we could be using. Oikophobe **Oikophobe**An oikophobe is someone who harbors a fear or hatred toward...

    When does the winning start?

    I will assume that you are referring only to the Victor David Hanson podcast. Alternative locations for listening: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gavin-the-gerrymander-and-air-power-in-wwii/id1570380458?i=1000723207162 Below is one I, I just found. It's a video!📽️📽️📽️

    When does the winning start?

    Time to answer the question: "When does the winning start?" Both Victor David Hanson and Mark Levin coincidentally answered this question. All the Democratic lawfare attacks on Trump were bogus and they have now fallen apart. Trump has been winning. Victor David Hanson covers this in the first...

    Future of Access

    Getting back to the original (future) concern. Obviously, MS Access primarily survives due to the grace of Microsoft. But going to the next level (in terms of the future of MS Access); is MS Access acquiring users or losing users? This website, to a degree, can indirectly answer that question...

    Ouch #3

    The wheels of justice move slowly. Finally, unless there are further appeals: https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/08/21/new-york-appeals-court-throws-out-trumps-364-million-fraud-penalty/ Now will either James or Engoron face criminal or ethics charges based on their abuse of power to...

    Future of Access

    Corporations evolve. They start off as aggressive entrepreneurial innovative companies, but as time progresses the innovators leave and the corporations become ruled by lawyers and accountants. Look at Boeing's space program versus Musk's space program. Because my memory is imperfect, I leaned...

    Future of Access

    MS Access has its niche and like Cobol will continue to limp along. Nevertheless we need to recognize that technology evolves. Land lines and FAX machines are a dying technology. To a degree what we need to do is think-of-of-the-box and declare "independence" from Microsoft. What that implies is...

    Future of Access

    Well, you have a point. :unsure: It becomes a question of thinking outside the box as the expression goes. Microsoft "controls/owns" the desktop environment. As such, the Microsoft environment is perceived as being the one and only approach for many people. Follow that up with the fact that...

    Future of Access

    MS Access was a go-to database. That's where I got my database experience. Time however marches on, things evolve. The apparent shutdown of UtterAcess may or may not be an indicator that MS Access relevancy is waning. Don't get me wrong, MS Access is a good database. Nevertheless, open source...

    Is USA directly entering in the war, good or bad?

    Since the issue of Israel vs. Hamas came-up there is another significant story that points to how the perception of "genocide" gets distorted. In March of 2025, approximately 1,500 Syrian Alawites were killed by Sunni fighters in Syria. I did not know of this story till a few days ago. That...

    Im an absolute beginner. Please help

    As an additional consideration; is MS Access the appropriate database to use? Also, how proficient are you at developing an interface? There are many open source databases available, but they require expertise in things such as HTML and PHP as minimal examples.

    Is USA directly entering in the war, good or bad?

    Obama and Biden pursued a policy of appeasement towards Iran. They even went so far as providing Iran with cash and not enforcing sanctions against Iran. The nuclear agreement reached by Obama was a joke, it guaranteed that Iran would be able to construct a nuclear device and allowed Iran to...
