  3. They use TGZs also for windows update by gallir · · Score: 5 · on WSJ Reports On MS Using Open Source
    As I reported (in Spanish) few day ago, they also use the tar and gnuzip formats/compression...

    I found the following files in a W98SE with IE automatic update verification enabled:

    • wuloader[1].tgz
    • wulproto[1].tgz
    • actsetup[1].tgz
    • selfupd[1].tgz
    • cun[1].tgz
    • cunprot2[1].tgz
  4. Ten reasons to migrate from Postgres to MySQL by gallir · · Score: 3 · on MySQL 3.23 Declared Stable
    I am one of the team doing PHP development for the Balearic Islands LUG. The current system runs with PostgreSQL and we were analysing the convenience of migrating to MySQL.

    Find enclosed some of the conclusions:

    1. PG does treat BLOBs as part of a tuple, MySQL does.
    2. There are serious problems with PHP and PG transactions for reading and writing BLOBs in the database. PG forces to use transactions, MySQL doesn't.
    3. PG doesn't use any index to speed up sorts (ORDER BY clauses), MySQL does. This is a problem for web pages were most of the result are ordered according to articles IDs or modification dates.
    4. PG, as in V7, doesn't accept tuples of more the 8KB, 32 KB support can be selected at compilation time but speed is seriously affected. There is not this kind of restrictions in MySQL.
    5. PG does not accept "full-text" indexing and queries.
    6. In MySQL you can choose if a file to be imported is being read by the backend or the frontend.
    7. You have to run VACCUM ANALYZE in PG from time to time in order to get your queries optimised.
    8. PG doesn't allow to do BLOB content search, MySQL does.
    9. PG accept RULES for executing SQL sentences on table insert or updates, MySQL doesn't.
    10. NASA has migrated one of their webs to MySQL ;-)
    We found that the previous reasons justify the migration to MySQL.

  5. Re:Seems a bit pointless by MicroBerto · · Score: 1 · on Gamera = AOL for Linux
    We on the Cleveland Linux Users Group actually have 2 or 3 people who use AOL for their E-Mails on the mailing lists! I'm sure that this could benefit from a few, but I just it causing some of us more headaches.

    But i see this as a huge support momentum. If companies think that more will use Linux, they might be compelled to have better linux support.

  6. Re:death? by SgtPepper · · Score: 2 · on FSF General Counsel Eben Moglen Talks On Upside

    *LMFAO* Roberto, my friend, don't you think that's just a little tad bit overractionary? No one is talking violence here. Now, when they start implementing the death penelty for Reverse Engineering then we can talk about Revolution in the old school sense of the word. The good consuel was simply pointing out the SYMBOLIC similarities between the too. Now there might be some SYMBOLIC deaths....the death of Free Software or the death of the "profittering gluttons" we have yet to see. Make no mistake though, it is a fight. :)

    PS: I'm working on porting Wakeup to Win32, if I actually get it done want me to send ya the code?
