    Collect massive amounts of power, and beam it towards a planet. What could possibly go wrong?...

  19. The Developer did not Know the Progress on Ask Slashdot: Why Is It So Hard To Make An Accurate Progress Bar? · · Score: 1

    The answer is simple: the developer responsible for the progress bar did not actually know the progress she program the progress bar.

    During development, getting the work done has a much higher priority than the progress bar. After development, fixing functional bug has a much higher priority. After bug fixing, launching is has a much higher priority. After all, there are priority 2 or 3 bugs, who will care priority 4 bugs?

    BTW, the progress bar I liked most reached 30000% and the job still not complete.

  25. Re: Find better prospects? on Ask Slashdot: Which OSS Database Project To Help? · · Score: 1

    So you meant Oracle can't handle 'select for update' properly. This sounds like a really BIG disccovery to me. Consistence and transaction management have always been considered big strength of oracle. Any reference?
