Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Converting Dates
by Bruce Guetzkow

Chip Wars: Intel vs AMD, IBM vs Intel

The chip wars are on, says Brian Kelly in his new book about the processor chip business.

Intel, the dominant chip maker in the world, is a household name, but there is a question about whether the giant chipmaker is still the technology leader it claims to be.

Buy Chip Wars at the IT Jungle Online Book Store, value priced at only $29.95.

Do you have any idea how I can selectively delete spooled files in an output queue that are more than 30 days old while leaving more recent printouts intact? READ MORE >
