  1. Do people trust this project anymore? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny

    With fears of a license change and close-sourcing, why shouldn't I buy some PostgreSQL documentation and start learning to work with the other major project?

      I was going to say something to the effect of "In B4 Windows troll". Alas..

      Every time an article mentions Windows some asshat chimes in to support his/her favorite pet OS. Linux seems to have the most vocal zealots, and I'm tired of it.

      Please give it a rest.

      All DBAs worth respecting understand this simple fact.

      Damn those Google idiots and their inability to hire competent employees. It's a good thing they only use it for Adwords and not something important to their business.

      Meh, doesn't matter, I just won't respect them. They're clearly just a bunch of paranoid children over there anyway. I'll take my cues from randoms on Slashdot, thank-you-very-much.

  2. So will Postgres ever catch MySQL? by Slashdot+Parent · · Score: 1, Funny

    I'm still waiting for data partitioning from Postgres. Maybe once they get it it will be a real database. ;)

    well, since this is MySQl, the xml functions are probably missing atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability :-)

    These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.

  4. version names by Aggrav8d · · Score: 3, Funny

    Bah! I misread as "for a final RC for the MySQL 5.1 server, Monty Widenius" and thought it was the latest version name, like Hardy Heron or Fallacious Ferret or Mr. Ed or something.
