For Firefox it was nine days I think, but that's still not a patch on Microsoft's appalling security situation.

I just switched to firefox (at least temporarily). I like the way that the text editor widget work much better. Integrated spell checker is a huge plus!
I'm missing tabs for more that one page at a time ant a "Stop" button. Just a few things after only a couple of minutes poking around.

Multiple home pages. Open the home pages in tabs. Then tools->options->general and select "use current pages"

Yep. I misread the "one period" as one day but, like you said, 284:9 is no better.

is python more popular than coldfusion? I realsie that is a very general question as one thing does not directly relate to the other. My issue is that I am ditching coldfusion due to there being next to no work for it, and I am thinking of taking on python as a second language to java in the hope of improving my resume.

I'm running DB2 v8.1 FP5 on a Server with 2 physical processors (4 virtual) and am wondering if there is a way to configure DB2 to use more processor. Right now I'm running a delete query to delete around 4 million records. It is only using 5% - 25% of the processor (mostly the lower end with some spikes). This system, for the most part, is strictly used as a database server so I'd like to be able to set it so that DB2 can use at least...

S**t for brains strikes again! Why did I do that? When I met the clients and at some point they vaguely asked whether eventually would it be possible to have some people who could read the data and some who couldn't but that it wasn't important right now. And I said, 'sure, we can do that later'. So now I've developed an app without any thought to security and am trying to apply it afterwards. Doh!, doh! and triple doh!

If I have an application that I send out to users, and the application interacts with the database (behind the scenes, no direct sql creation by the users)....do webservices make the app more secure? I always thought of webservices as just a good way to allow users to have an API for them to interact with the database, but are webservices useful if the user never really knows that they are there?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
