off line with locally installed things but not on the chrome book part of why it just didn't work for me.

If it's locally installed it's not Office's web system.

The computer that learns to play video games is pretty cool.

Chips keep getting smaller and smaller as technology progresses. We already carry hand-held mobile devices, and there are innovations where you can wear camera-assisted technology like glasses. I love living in the future! It's awesome to see new developments like this.

Oh man, I remember that!

Oh all of the data that will be based

database. come on dawg, too early?

Same here, but the people I work with just think I'm a loon.

Like MS SQL Server, PostgreSQL is a full RDBMS. It's a hard core enterprise system that goes after drop in replacement with Oracle DB. Pretty much any enterprise software using a database lets you select between PostgreSQL, Oracle, Sybase and SQL Server if not many more like MySQL, MariaDB, DB2, etc.

MySQL is focused on lightweight web applications so is tuned differently than the others. PostgreSQL is the new darling for enterprise app development. It's old but really good.

You can run Windows XP on VIrtualBox on Linux Mint.

If you're going to run a VM, why not just move to Win8.1/7 with an XP VM?

Because Mint is her main OS and what she wants to be running.

Yes Exactly.

@chad-k Some Like It Hot is definitely on Netflix Instant, though. I LOVE that movie. One of my all-time favorites. So freaking funny.

Really great cast. I wish that it wasn't so late, I feel like watching it now.
