EWeek Details Linux to Windows Migration
nakhla writes "Even though we always hear stories of companies migrating from Windows to Linux, eWeek is running a story describing several companies that have migrated from Linux to Windows. Among their reasons are inadequate support options, application compatibility issues, stability problems, and the added cost of troubleshooting."
If I was interested in starting a fire, I'd get some gas from Exxon and apply a lighter to it.
Article the to update an post to going are they if wonder if.
The "Linux to Windows Migration" is all about migrating from Windows to Linux.
I'd better run before the moderators come and take me away again. Here's hoping a highly-charged political topic rescues me. :)
Please. MySQL is a good SQL database for SQL newbies but it doesn't even support the most basic things that are required for more advanced projects.
In any well designed database you want to move the data-logic to the database where it belongs. You can probably live without statement-level stored procedures and views, but MySQL doesn't even support foreign keys, triggers and checks which are essential when you need to make sure your data is consistent.
In the future, when recommending a database to someone who is talking about Oracle, MsSQL, Sybase etc, please point them to PostgreSQL instead of MySQL. At least until MySQL v5.1 is released because there's where they plan to implement these features.

Nah.. Jap cars were crap through most of the 80s. It was only around 1990 they got their stuff together. Subaru, Toyota and Honda have all really got their stuff together in terms of quality and reliability. Sure, Nissan and Mitsubishi have a few great models (Nissans' 2-litre turbo is a nice little powerhouse, and the Mitsubishi short-wheelbase 4x4s are great desert hoppers), but they don't have the across the board quality or engineering that the other three have.
US cars, in general, are excellent. Give me a Chevy anyday. But never a Ford. They've lost the plot. Quality has dropped.. and not just for the whole Bridgestone/Firestone debacle. The F-series trucks are still pretty good, but their passenger vehicles and smaller SUVs are just plain horrible.
Korean cars are where the japanese were in the 70s. Hyundia is probably leading the bunch, but its still a car you throw out when it breaks. In 20 years, maybe they'll be something worth looking at.
