    Eric M Russell (1/21/2013)


    Customer contact information is an example of where an entity-attribute-value model makes sense. The design is simple, efficient, and can be easily extended to support any type...

  • RE: The Growth of Storage

    Apparently if you could send an iPad2 back to 1997 it would be the 7th most powerful computer on earth.

    My first computer was a Commodore Vic20 with 3.5K RAM and...

  • RE: Message Queues in Software

    I predict a big shake-up in both Microsoft and Apple.

    A few big data breaches caused by weaknesses in agile approaches.
