How many people living today were alive when the cubs won the world series?
Without having the 2010 U.S. Census figures, and not having the breakdown of how many people are at least 102 years old, that is a tough question to give an accurate answer to.
However ...
The Cubs last won the World Series in October, 1908 or 102 years ago. The U.S. Census Bureau estimated in October, 2009 that there were 104,099 people in the United States that were 100 years old or older.
A somewhat educated guess would be that there are about 100,000 people, give or take, in the United States that were living when the Cubs last won the World Series in 1908.
Have the White Sox ever lost to the Cubs?
Yes they have. However the White Sox do have a slightly better head to head record than the Cubs. The Sox have beat the Cubs 37 times and the Cubs have beat the Sox 35 times (since the inception of interleague play), as of the beginning of the 2010 season.
However, when it counted the most way back in 1906 when the two teams played each other in the City's only Cross-Town World Series to date; The Mighty White Sox beat the heavily favored Cubs 4 games to 2 to win the White Sox AND the City of Chicago its very FIRST World Series Championship.
The Cubs have not won a World Series title since 1908. That's 102 years ago! This is the longest such drought for a franchise in all of sports. The Cubs haven't appeared in a World Series since 1945.

What does it mean to qualify a field name?
A field is the name given to the column or attribute. A field name cannot be empty and also it cannot be an identifier. Example in a table stud there are fields like Fname, Lname, Rollno etc
A fully qualified field name in simple terms is the table name in which the field resides and the field name. As an example we have a table called Customers and a field FirstName Within a query you cold point to or declare the field name as simply FirstName. Now if you are joining a couple of tables and each has the field name FirstName you would need to fully qualify the field so that the database would know from which table you wanted the FirstName data. So in this example lets say we have the tables Customers and Employee. Within the Customers table we have a EmployeeID field that ties an employee (maybe the employee that entered the customer) to the customer. Now in a query you want to display the Customer's first name. In this case you would need to specify the table name WITH the field name in order to present a result. Example: Customers.FirstName or Employee.FirstName You could further qualify the field by including the database names as well. This is NOT common however if you are using multiple databases in a query then you would need to.
