I needed a SQL query that would parse through hundreds of thousands of records and list duplicate content. I found a SQL query that would work and made my own modifications to it so that the query may return the desired results. This is one of those things I will not remember so here is the script....

Before, I continue, I want to preface this with I am a novice with Linux. Having played with Ubuntu versions 6 through 8, I never really could get into this particular distro of Linux as I understand that all root activity must be performed in a terminal windows with a prefix of sudo. I recently downloaded Red Hat Enterprise 5 Linux and immediately discovered that I like the OS as I may logon as root and perform whatever task I want, except software updates through yum, as a paid subscription is required. Then I discovered that CentOS IS Red Hat.

JBoss requires JAVA JDK 1.4+ to run. This virtual machine installation is RHEL with GDE....

INNO Setup is a free installer for Windows programs available at JRSoftware. There is no official unpacker - the only method of getting the files out of the self-extracting executable is to run it. An open source utility called innounp.exe is maintained at Sourceforge. Sourceforge has maintained version 0.19 online for over a year, however, 0.20 also exists from Sourceforge, if you know the link. With the introduction of INNO Setup version 5.2.3, the existing versions of innounp have proven to be unsucessful. I recently discovered that another version of innounp.exe exists and is maintained by ..:: LeecherMods ::.. ....
