SQL Formula, I need a join statement,
For a [JOB.ID] i am getting multiple listings for the colors needed to complete the JOB, I would like to join all the colors that are provided in the query of that table to provide only a 1 line entry of all the colors, can this be done?

Need Help Creating an ad to hire a programmer for DBs
Ok, I need help from other programmers on creating a hiring ad looking for a programmer who knows MySQL/PHP very very well. I know there are supposed to be 3 different areas I need the programmer to have & some don't have them.

Microsoft Aims Avalanche At BitTorrent
 By David Utter
British researchers for the Redmond-based software and game console maker discussed the company's work on a superfast peer to peer sharing system.
"Hi, it looks like you're downloading a pirated copy of the movie Bubba Ho-tep. Can I help?"
Ok, so the legendary Microsoft Office assistant Clippy isn't really going to walk users through the process of becoming litigation targets for the MPAA.
But developers in the UK have been working on Microsoft's version of the fast file sharing system known as BitTorrent. Those R&D people say they can make it easier to share large data files, such as movies, television programs, and software packages like the forthcoming Longhorn operating system.
The Avalanche technology will be similar in function to BitTorrent. With that system, users who download a file from a system simultaneously make that file available to others who want the same file.
The distributed method prevents massive bandwidth demands on a single server containing a desired file. Numerous cooperative clients spread that demand out over several systems.
Where Microsoft says they can improve the process is in the end-stages of a download. Those final pieces, the rare bits as Microsoft calls them, create demand problems even on a distributed system like BitTorrent if only a few clients have them and some of them become unavailable.
Avalanche's improvement begins at the server where the file is first place. Pieces of the file get encoded with an algorithm. The effect of that encoding allows each piece to know about the other pieces. Once a user collects enough encoded pieces, the file can be recreated.
Avalanche does not depend on central servers to track the download, as BitTorrent does. In beta testing, Avalanche distributed a 4GB file in a day to several thousand of its software beta testers, according to InfoWorld.
And owners of copyright material don't need to worry about illegal file sharing. Avalanche will only share content that has been signed by its publisher.
Intel Tunes Up New Radio Chip
By David Utter
Researchers for the chipmaker have developed a prototype all-CMOS dual-band radio chip supporting all flavors of Wi-Fi.
Announced in Kyoto, Japan, Friday, the transceiver would support 802.11a, b, and g, as well as the future 802.11n standard. That future extension would double the wireless transfer speed of the implementation discussed today.
"This system-in-a-package design uses more low-voltage circuitry than we've ever used in the past, which means we can integrate it and make it lower cost while operating at lower voltages and providing longer battery life," noted Krishnamurthy Soumyanath, director of Intel's Communications Circuits Research Lab.
"The variable bandwidth of this solution extends capabilities beyond today's 20 MHz to 100 MHz, and is expected to support data rates higher than 100 megabits per second that should allow people to enjoy multiple high-quality video streams concurrently."
Intel's goal in development of the new chip would be to allow for a device to only need one chip to connect to the various wireless networking access points that may be encountered by a user.
Intel notes that by keeping the architecture tied to Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor technology (CMOS), it can produce the new chip at low cost and in substantial volume.
Those are two factors that would be key to mass acceptance by the various OEMs who use Intel chips. Another bonus will be the chip's low power consumption of 1.4 volts.
