Because different people have different needs. At the beginning of an application's lifecycle, it's very likely that they'll want a simple database that anyone can set up and use. MySQL is very easy to use and configure the first time. Postgres isn't nearly as simple. However, as the application grows up and the developers get more experience and more experienced developers get hired on, they start to wish for some of the more advanced features.
In addition, since MySQL got so popular so quickly, developers were coming into jobs with experience in it but not in other databases. If you have five developers, each of which has used MySQL and nothing else, you're probably going to go with MySQL unless upper management puts their foot down, and in that instance they're almost certainly going to choose Oracle.
However, I see that changing more and more. The established programs and sticking with MySQL, but a lot of newer programs are using Postgres.
Everyone here knows what he's talking about when he says "beta". It'll be a few years at least before people who know the term "beta" will get confused by TFA's use of it, and it'll be much longer than that before anyone on this forum will get confused. It's entirely possible, even likely, that the trend will reverse itself in that time. I haven't seen any other site abuse the term as badly as Google, and most places use it properly.
he were often absolutely right. In either case he were no monster...Oh please, throw some stupid quote about the dictatorship of the proletariat on me, it will be so embarassing.

90% of the people in this country will tell you that www.annabelleigh.net crosses the line. I'm guessing over 50% will have a strong reaction against it and would prefer that Google make sure it doesn't come up in their search results. So, you can see it as Google repressing a very small portion of the population, or you can see it as Google's doing the rest of us a big favor.
even in a world without military conflict (and thus with no need for "common defense") government will still be a necessity, just not in its present form.
I disagree with two things in that statement. First, the common defense can refer to defense from others within the same country, ie a police force. Second, if you and your neighbors are protected from external and internal threats of force, then there's no reason for a government to compel people to do anything. If something needs to be done about cancer research, for example, then they can get people to work together and donate money to cure cancer. If the government is not actually protecting my life then I don't want them to take money out of my pocket by force; IMHO, that crosses the line from taxation into robbery.
Just watch out for those providers who want you to get into exclusivity contracts. At the beginning they provide great service, but then they start to take your money for granted.
The Prosecution was going after Drew for violating MySpace's TOS prohibiting users from using fraudulent registration information, using accounts to obtain personal information about juvenile members and using MySpace to "harass, abuse or harm other members".
That's why I make sure that the websites I frequent don't prohibit any of that. If you can't have fun on the internet, what's the point? Am I right?
Seems to me that justice would have been better served here if someone had just beaten the crap out of Lori Drew, and gotten acquitted for it due to extenuating circumstances.
Agreed. You look up directions to her house on Google Maps, I'll grab the baseball bats. Then maybe this whole thing can be overturned on appeal.
Most of the top athletes at my school were actually in the top of their class (and that wasn't any fudging going on - most of them I'd known since grade school and they'd always made good grades even before athletics came into play). I myself played offensive line
Many people on the football team thought the same thing about the team captains. I heard people saying that one of the captains should have been valedictorian because he was the smartest person they knew.
In actuality, they didn't know the smartest kids in the school because they didn't take the same classes as those kids (myself included). If they had paid attention, they would have known that the valedictorian had done research that was being published in journals and that there were more than a dozen students (out of 200 or so) who were ahead of him academically. He obviously wasn't dumb, and he did well in school and will likely do well in life, but he wasn't at the top of the class. Like your school, there wasn't any animosity, just a lack of socialization between the groups.
If the lives lost aren't American Lives, does it still matter? in my opinion, YES.
You care about people in other countries? What a unique individual! Everyone give this man a hand, he cares about human life!
Everyone who's not a sociopath feels that human life is sacred and should be preserved, they just express it differently. The war in Iraq was about preventing more bad shit from coming out of that country and most people at the time felt that the risk was worth taking on the basis that the immediate loss of life would be offset by the long term decrease in lives lost coupled with the increased quality of life. Your self-righteous implications about American's not caring about the lives of people in other countries is ridiculous, especially when you look at how much foreign aid is given by the general population.

It depends on the goal of making up the words/names. Tolkien created an entire world with actual languages, not just made up ones. He tends to use the made up word when he's presenting something as coming from that culture, the same way that we would pronounce something with a quasi-french pronunciation if that's where we got the word; in this way he distinguishes the item and gives it more background. He was also presenting it as a historical piece, as middle earth being the same earth that we're on right now, only a long time ago. For those reasons, it's less grating to have him make up words. However, that tendency still puts people off of his books and it's hard to fault them for it.
For other books, where they make up new names for periods of time, like "cycle" instead of "day" or make up a new word that replaces "hour", there's no reason to do so. If an author makes up a word, let's say "klek", and then defines it as "60 minutes", they've lost a lot of credibility with me and made it so that I'll almost certainly never recommend that book to anyone else again.
The news is that they're fighting and that the fighting's escalating. The two kids on the playground are more like Godzilla and Mothra - if they fight, there's going to be lots of explosions and buildings falling over. Plus, there's going to be some terrible dub work and the Japanese are going to somehow be involved. Also, we're going to find out about new powers that Godzilla has that he didn't have in the last movie. And then Steven Spielberg will do a remake that'll flop.
That got out of hand fast. Anyway, just because "they're both annoying little bastards" doesn't mean you shouldn't keep an eye on them. Especially if you live in Tokyo.
I can't wait until my clothing starts coming with FBI warnings that the design is trademarked, pateneted and that I may only wear the shirt before Labor Day, and before 8 PM on weeknights.
That's absolutely reasonable. When you wear that shirt, you're representing Tommy Hilfiger and are, therefore, impacting the future sales of that brand. By wearing that white shirt after labor day, you're in effect saying that the Hilfiger brand itself is out of style, causing irreparable and immeasurable damage. This theft of future sales is obviously wrong and it needs to be stopped. Since there's no telling how many days you've warn that shirt in a damaging way, and there's no telling how many people were negatively impacted, I think it's entirely fair to set the minimum damages to $15,000 and the maximum at 2% of the brand's gross yearly earnings (even though the damages may be much, much greater).
Also, since clothing brands are named after the person who designed them, and by wearing them incorrectly, we're going to start calling the improper wearing of clothes "Assassination" instead of the more tame "bad style". The Designer Assassination Prevention Act of 2009 will set all of this into the law books. It's only fair, after all.

During that time, McColo was observed pushing as much as 15MB of data per second to servers located in Russia
The massive amounts of data they were talking about were being pushed to other servers, so they could have done that work with a hard drive. However, it also says that the botnet was updated. Assuming that the botnet couldn't have been updated from those same russian servers, they could have done any number of things, including any number of regular internet connections to buildings nearby or satellite/cellular internet service.
I doubt, however, that the data center was a single point of failure for them. The idea that the malware builders can build massive botnets with distributed architecture that elude understanding by security researchers, but they can't figure out how to make it so that they can run it from a backup data center, seems unlikely to me.
