Let's say I bought Office XP. They should give me a key code that I could use
and install on any machine that I own or have built for myself, or work on for a period of 3 years...
so.. if I wanted to use Word or Excel at work...all I would have to do is enter my Key and download it.
Its kinda stupid that I spend $300-$500 on a program that I can only use when I'm home.
I would even be willing to pay monthly for such a service.

ok, running this query:
SELECT
count(unique REPLACE(app_source_code, 'PTL', 'CCM')) As app_count,
count(code),
REPLACE(cdb.app_audit_types.app_source_code, 'PTL', 'CCM') as app_code
FROM
cdb.app_audit_types group by app_source_code order by app_code desc
these are the results
1 31 WP
1 141 FTK
1 3 CMA
1 26 CCM
1 1 CCM
Ok, here's the deal. In the database, that last "CCM" is actually "PTL", but I'm using the replace function to turn it back into a "CCM"
does anybody know how i can make that 2nd "CCM" be counted along with the first "CCM" ?

Nintendo President Establishing $160 Million Game Development Fund
Hiroshi Yamauchi, Nintendo's president, is executing a fast buy-sell-buy stock transaction of his personal holdings in the company, generating approximately $160 million in profits with which he intends to start a fund to help fledgling game developments. According to the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Yamauchi, who owns 1.18 million Nintendo shares -- 10.8% of the outstanding shares -- plans to sell his entire stake in the company, realize the capital gains, and use those profits to set up the fund. The transaction will take place in after-hours trading on Tuesday, and Yamauchi said he will buy back enough shares on Wednesday to maintain a 10% stake.
Money from the fund will be used to help game development companies from around the world cover their development costs, and only companies developing titles for the GameCube and Game Boy Advance will be eligible for the loans. The loans will average one billion yen at interest rates matching the prime lending rates of major banks. Firms that receive financing from the fund must complete designated projects within a year.

O'doyle's Suggested Listening
Macha - Salty
http://majestic.coe.uga.edu/mp3/macha/02-macha-salty.mp3
Sounds like Mogwai meets My Bloody Valentine but with strange Eastern instrumentation instead of guitars. Javanese zithers, bamboo flutes, gongs, and other instruments play against typical drum and bass groundwork. It's really unique stuff from yet another local (Athens, GA) band. Macha's quite a bit more "established" here than some of the other locals I've recommended.
Here's a review from 1999 at Salon.com: http://www.salon.com/ent/music/review/1999/10/07/macha/
For those here who prefer a mellower, darker, instrumental sound, try "Submarine Lover"

I'm trying to open a file and have
if ( (infile = fopen("H:\\assignments\\computer\\compdata.txt", "r")) == NULL)
exit(0);
and it exits every time. I've checked and the path and filename are correct. I can't see any problem with the code, in fact I've used the exact same syntax in other programs that I've made earlier this year.
If I just do
infile = fopen("blah blah.txt", "r");
I'll get an error or assertion failure when the program is run.
thanks.
