  • MAC or PC? Normal Person or Specialy challenge person?

    I been working with MACs for a company for three months now. They use nothing but MAC. I was going to migrate to MAC but after working with them and experiencing how horrible they are I am staying with PC. They are becoming more and more susceptible to viruses and the like, they crash a lot, and PC already dominated the easy to use computer- apple try doing it and rename everything. The easiest way i can explain this is....

    you can work and communicate with a normal person, you have to be train to deal with a specially challenge person. MAC is the specially challenge person; you have to be nice to do it or it will not cooperate.

    F&^% MAC

  • Combat Vet- PTSD. when and how can I file a claim for PTSD?

    I got out of the army in May 2013 and got back from Afghanistan (2nd tour) about a year and 3 months before that. One of the many negative feelings(depression, anxiety, anger- ended up quitting my job) is I feel I got something crawling under my skin. I' just started taking classes with the VA for PTSD with a bunch of WW2 and vietnam vets and some gulf war. VA gave me some meds but I'm not taking them. I'm only 40 and i have a feeling this is going to get bad as I age.

    Should I start a VA claim now or wait a few more months. I guess i have ayear after i get out to do it but, I'm looking for some insight from some of you who have done it and or who have done it because they have PTSD. And if you did a claim for PTSD what was you percentage?

  • PHP MYSQL - how do i INSERT a primary key int into a table?

    i've been on this for hours...

    $con=mysqli_connect("127.0.0.1","root","root","visitor");

    // Check connection

    if (mysqli_connect_errno())

    {

    echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();

    }

    $sql="INSERT INTO track (trackId, track, trackSess, trackIp, trackMac, trackWho, trackIn, trackPg)

    VALUES(' ', '1234567','23we345rfd43434','127.0.0.1', '23wewe-t-56-43-srsw', 'visitor', '1234232', 'HOME PG')";

    if (!mysqli_query($con,$sql))

    {

    die('Error: ' . mysqli_error($con));

    }

    ?>

    the trackId is the primary key. It is created as type int(4) in phpAdmin. I have tried:

    DEFAULT, leaving it out, set it to ' ' as the example shows, I used NULL... nothing works.

    I'm starting to believe that this Mysql autoincrement primary key can only bet set by a script written by me. I would have to check the table's primary key and then insert the next value. If this is the case.. WHY THE F#$% would mysql developers create a primary key, set it to auto increment, and it not set itself?

  • so is ok to put more than one page with your resume?

    just got out of the army (before i go on, ACAP is useless) and working on my resume. Now i hear that is ok to put more than one page on resume. it wasn't like that a while back. so i ask you guys especially if you are an employer, so is ok to put more than one page with your resume?

    I have two degrees and about 50 certifications. I have an AWARDS AND CERTIFICATION section on the resume and my degrees are on top. Would it b ok to put more than 20 certifications (since we can go two pages on the resume)? Trying to get into Info Tech. Info Tech is a vast field and they require a lot of stuff.

  • would you buy pieces from the twin towers (I got some)?

    I'm an infantry soldier and just recently i got back from afghanistan from a year long tour. As I entered one of our main buildings I notice a big chunk of one of the landing gears to one of the passengers air planes that hit the towers as a display. It was a beautiful site to me and it hit me in the heart considering I just got back from fighting The Taliban and losing some of my brothers. I wanted to take pics but I had no camera. so I decided to go back another day and take the pics. I return a week later with a video/camera with me. took pics and video. I noticed the part of that landing gear that attached to the plane was hollow. I looked inside and I see a lot of debris. I found pieces of walls, some kind of a mesh that goes in the inside of the landing gear(melted together) and pieces (plastic seals) of that landing gear. I asked another soldier if I could talk to the chain of command and clean it out. I got a Yes. I want to take a piece of one of the walls and a small rock i brought from afghanistan and entomb in plastic. I took the video and pics as i took them out to show proof. I'm thinking of selling the rest and use what ever money i get for college. do you think is right to sell it? what do you think people will pay for it? I know this is a very important part of our history. I know lives were lost. I also know there are people out there who would want a piece of this history and treasure for ever as I will with my entomb piece. Please be honest with your replies.
