Streaming a Database in Real Time
Roland Piquepaille writes "Michael Stonebraker is well-known in the database business, and for good reasons. He was the computer science professor behind Ingres and Postgres. Eighteen months ago, he started a new company, StreamBase, with another computer science professor, Stan Zdonik, with the goal of speeding access to relational databases. In 'Data On The Fly,' Forbes.com reports that the company software, also named StreamBase, is reading TCP/IP streams and using asynchronous messaging. Streaming data without storing it on disk gives them a tremendous speed advantage. The company claims it can process 140,000 messages per second on a $1,500 PC, when its competitors can only deal with 900 messages per second. Too good to be true?

While there are surely other explanations, unexplainable hostility is an important part of the Slashdot and every large online community.
He basically works on the same priciple as slashdot or most other sites, just lower down the chain. Get people to see your ads by posting sumarys of real articles, if you do a good job you make money.
Some things cannot be hidden they must be exposed in open discussion!
