w3schools (http://www.w3schools.com/aspnet/default.asp) is your friend;)
IMHO the learning curve is more than significant, but if you're up to date with your OOP then you'll be alright. In fact, if you are decent with good ol' programming, then ASP .NET will eventually make your life easier.
I started out with .NET, so I wouldn't know what it's like to come from LAMP, but there are a lot of people here at work that started out with regular ASP. Most of them make the mistake of scripting too much like they used to on regular ASP. In ASP .NET you want to keep the scripting to the minimum as most of the code will be separated from the HTML. Focus on this code separation paradigm when learning ASP .NET.
Your knowledge of VB6 will definately be of use as VB .NET is very similar, but if you have the time/will to do so, I recommend that you learn C# (although theoretically both languages yield the same results).
If you know oracle I don't think you'll have much trouble with sql server. You could start out with MS's data application block (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnpag2/html/daab.asp), although you shouldn't use them for anything other than learning purposes.
A copy of Visual Studio .NET would be very helpful(although I hear it isn't cheap:( ).

my frustration isn't with the Dev Team, it's with Apple. They're focusing sooooo much energy on fighting jailbreaking
really? do you have evidence to back this up?

Anyone have any idea what it is looking like for tomorrow morning?
I've tried calling at least five times in the last hour and they won't answer the phone. What time are you going to line up tomorrow?

If I'm not mistaken, error 1013 just means that you changed your host file...
Yeah I know, they said it was normal for errors, but it should be able to kick out of recovery mode.
However I was stuck in the loop. Even in Tiny Umbrella I tried "fixing" it and still didn't work.
I just re updated to 4.3.1, and decided if jailbreak every came out I'll try to downgrade depending what it's for. Too much of a hassle for me just trying to jailbreak.

They offer a choice. The .wav choice is priced higher than the .mp3, so I am guessing it is of higher quality. Is this true?

I grabbed a few iMacs off eBay recently, I was wondering if these (slot loading 600 mhz) were completely silent like the older G3 iMacs? I used one years ago and remember it being nearly silent with the obvious exceptions of the CD drive and hard drive. I assume they're convection cooled? Is the graphics card silent as well? Are they all like this?
They'll be arriving at my doorstep on Wednesday, can't wait. :D

You can easily tell when whoever submits [E] to SpyMac you know either it's been given a Photoshop job, or someone has too much time on their hands, assuming the grease on their hands is time. :p
Yet some of us still wonder what's up with iPhone.org and/or MacMate. If anyone ever gets to talk with d'man (in some cases, again), ask him about this, and the forums. :p :D

Excellent site for 1440 x 900 wallpapers of Japanese landscapes. Hope you read Japanese. If not, just click on the pictures and the rest of the download procedure is fairly self-explanatory.

I bought the origianal Bose SoundDock when it was first released and have Been in love with it ever since. I also bought the Bose Companions and love them just as much. If I were you I would try and eventually purchase both, you won't regret it. But buy the companion speakers first. That way you have the Bose quality for you music plus films and gaming. Then when the funds are available treat yourself to the SoundDock!
thanks man, appreciate you helping out, your the only reply, jeez what is this forum coming too,

I'm in favour of this move. CDs were great (along with cassette tapes and LPs) because you could play them in any CD player and you could buy the CDs themselves from any shop. For some odd reason we don't get this with MP3 players and I do think that's anti-competitive. If I want to move to a different MP3 player or buy my music from another store to use on my iPod then that should be my choice and Apple should have to accept that.
This has not really been the case, though. When VHS was replaced by DVD, you didn't get the new media for free. Being locked into a particular platform occurs all the time--toner cartridges for printers aren't standardized, for example. I can't use Comcast's on demand to buy programs, then switch to DirecTV and have them transferred. When I buy the latest video game, it doesn't come packaged with PS2, PC, Mac, and XBOX versions.
See the theme? If you choose a limited hardware platform, you must accept the constraints of that platform. CDs are universal because the standard was universal (Sony, Philips, etc. formed a consortium from the get-go)--multiple manufacturers make CD players. Here, the content is the same but the packaging is different--cassette, CD, M4A. Only Apple makes M4A players.
By purchasing a song from iTunes, you are receiving the file with limitations. The reason for the price is bundling. If you want a product with no restrictions, which you want to use to the fullest extent of fair use (or beyond, if you so choose), you have to look elsewhere. You're not being denied fair use when you rent a movie on VHS for $2 when the DVD rental is $4...and you don't get to rent the VHS, then make a DVD just to save $2. Likewise, you're not paying for an unrestricted copy of the song on iTunes, and you aren't entitled to treat it as such using "fair use" as an excuse.
If you want unencumbered music, pay for the CD. If you want instant gratification and a lower price, then be an adult and accept the DRM. The option you want is out there and legally available--it's just that CDs are a "bad value." Likewise, iTunes tracks are probably a "bad value" to many people who think 99 cents should entitle them to DRM-free files. Should DRMed digital files be cheaper? I think so. But that's no excuse to go beyond the clear and publicized terms of my payment.
I don't want to have to re-purchase my iTunes music that I have bought. If DVD Jon has a way to allow reasonable consumer choice then FairPlay to him.
Nobody wants to buy things twice, but that's no excuse. I have piles of spare tools that fit cars I no longer own; toner cartridges for printers I no longer own; memory cards for cameras I no longer own; and floppy disks for computers I no longer own. Each time I switch companies, I have to deal with the consequences of my prior purchases.

Let's face it, Microsoft can't compete. It won't be long before they kill off their whole mac unit. Who needs their crappy software anyway? When some little known Russian software company can do in months what Micrsoft can't do in years it's obvious where this is going. VMWare will come out with a better virtualization technology and Windows will continue to become irrelevant. iWork needs a spreadsheet and you'll be hard pressed to find a reason to run anything Microsoft on your mac.
I said it before on these posts and got laughed to scorn, Microsoft is dead. Everyone knows it. Even die hard Windows fanboys are starting to have doubts. Vista will fail miserably and the company will be broken up. Why anyone would use something second rate, more expensive, less secure, and of inferior quality in the light of such a polished and mature operating system is beyond comprehension.

Yep seeing these all over campus now, I'm hoping Apple takes some design cues from the Air and adds them to the MBPs, aka no DVD drive and instead fit a dedicated graphics card in the 13in model and remove the glass screen.
I kinda like the glass screen and the bezel. I know, I know, my opinion doesn't exactly jibe with most MacRumors commenters. But for me the glossy look is nice, and the black bezel frames the screen nicely. The Air didn't look quite as good to me. I'm also not entirely sure that I liked the wedge shape that much. It felt very flimsy, even though I know it's a solid product.

Rock on, I just downloaded that app. The advice I posted was intended to be platform independent, because not everyone is as lucky as us to be rockin' macs ;)
What are you talking about? Download an app? All that site does is encode your email address and gives you a javascript decoder. It has nothing to do with what platform you are on.

Muscelnerd tweeted that all iPad 2 jailbreaks would have to be userland. Im glad comex found an exploit...and especially this fast.
Me too, I've been hoping it would happen soon.
Hopefully they find a hardware/low-level exploit so it will be jailbreakable for life. But I know for a fact that would near a release until the iPhone 5 is released and purchasable.
