  1. That reminds me on Hands-On With Microsoft's Touchless SDK · · Score: 1

    You can type "killer aunt delete all" with sign language now too!

  2. Re:Sheesh... on Iran Launches Payload into Space · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Lets see... okay lets kick these people out of their homes and land, then subjugate some more in modern-day gulags. Lets violate more U.N. resolutions than any other country, even after the U.S. veto's the vast majority. Then lets keep taking more and more land. That's israel. Israel has *no* right to that land. It doesn't matter if you are a democracy if 51%+ of your voters are mad. It would be nice to read news for nerds without seeing this antisemitic bullshit spammed everywhere.
  3. Obligatory on Does the Internet Need a Major Capacity Upgrade? · · Score: 1

    640K ought to be enough .... You know who. Sorry if this was already stated.

  4. An issue with column orientation on Database Bigwigs Lead Stealthy Open Source Startup · · Score: 2, Informative

    Is that you do not scale as well to a large number of columns. To access a set of X records with 100 columns, you have 100 asynchronous I/O calls to the separate column stores. I sell an analytical software that does just this, and it is not a technical something that should just be ignored. In some regards the single file row oriented system has less I/O overhead. We have come up with some ways to reduce the file system overhead, but while it is small, it is noticeable, more so on systems not designed to have a some large amount simultaneous open files. All that really happened is that it switched part of the bottleneck to rely less on the product architecture and more on the system architecture. Whether you think that is wise, well, that's up to you.

    BTW, first post, I am no longer an eavesdropper, yay
