FYI information I serve 3Million hits / 1 mill page impressions on 100k uniques per month on my dual P3 IBM Netfinity with 1Gb RAM, a bit over-specced but I thought best to get some headroom !
That comes in at around 15 million SQL queries per month.
The thing about MYSQL and speed is that "it's really quick at returning rows" isn't the only metric of speed.
Let's see how fast you can work out how to do an INTERSECT!
or how about a huge join with LIMIT 5, mysql (and postgres) do the whole join and then return the 5 records. With Postgres you can utilize stored procedures to do the join *after* the required records have been worked out and return the rows via a stored procedure. I got a 3 minute query down to 3 seconds like that !
You may as well turn your LAMPs off, they are dim.
Days later, while training, Luke discovers his X-wing fighter about to sink into the lake, then breaks concentration. Luke declares he will never be able to get the ship out, seeing that it is too big for him to extract from the water. Yoda says it is "no different, only different in your mind". Luke decides to "try" to lift the ship, but Yoda says "do or do not, there is no try". Luke tries to use the Force, but to no avail. Yoda reminds him that "size matters not" and gives him wisdom about the Force. Luke denies all of this, then Yoda decides to use the Force to lift the ship out himself. Luke is dumbfounded and non-believable. Yoda senses the youngster's failures within his mind.
"About 70,000 displaced people are thought to have died in Sudan's Darfur region since March, mainly from disease and malnutrition, a UN official says. David Nabarro, head of the World Health Organisation's health crisis group, said up to 10,000 people were still dying in refugee camps each month. He said the mortality rate would not fall unless more urgent aid was sent."
Why is war-torn Iraq giving $190,000 to Toys R Us? Naomi Klein
Iraqis are still being forced to pay for crimes committed by Saddam. Since Saddam was toppled in April, Iraq has paid out $1.8bn in reparations to the United Nations Compensation Commission (UNCC), the Geneva-based quasi tribunal that assesses claims and disburses awards. Of those payments, $37m have gone to Britain and $32.8m have gone to the United States.
Here is a small sample of who has been getting "reparation" awards from Iraq: Halliburton ($18m), Bechtel ($7m), Mobil ($2.3m), Shell ($1.6m), Nestlé ($2.6m), Pepsi ($3.8m), Philip Morris ($1.3m), Sheraton ($11m), Kentucky Fried Chicken ($321,000) and Toys R Us ($189,449).
In the vast majority of cases, these corporations did not claim that Saddam's forces damaged their property in Kuwait - only that they "lost profits" or, in the case of American Express, experienced a "decline in business" because of the invasion and occupation of Kuwait. One of the biggest winners has been Texaco, which was awarded $505m in 1999. According to a UNCC spokesperson, only 12% of that reparation award has been paid, which means hundreds of millions more will have to come out of the coffers of post-Saddam Iraq.
just because they don't "allow" it, doesn't make it legal.
when they say "sorry sir, we can't accept that" you should be ready with "oh, but I'm afraid you can, under the terms of [insert appropriate legislation here]"
for us in the UK it is "The Sale of Goods Act 1976"

It is a pain but it certainly works and you can have some fun while you're at it.
Stay calm and be persistent and don't take no for an answer, the law is the law.
You can't hang a "no refunds" sign on the wall and point to it when trying to rip people off.
"gone gold" means that the developers have burned the final game to a CD to send to the pressing plant (from the days when blank CDs were gold coloured).
Sending a game to the BBFC means that it has been sent for classification, the classifiers might refuse a certificate or issue a different certificate from the one hoped for by the author.
If the BBFC issues an 18 certificate and the developer wants a 15 they will have to go back to coding which could potentially take a long time, depending on the changes required.

yay, a 5 for being wrong, I wish one still got the proper karma score instead of "excellent" !

you idiot

see the subject
insightfull
whereas the correct spelling is ?
note it's "High Performance MySQL" not "MySQL for Dummies"
for a developer your typing accuracy is appalling, you must spend 90% of your time chasing down typos !
I prefer to FAPP

you are correct, I trusted the summary's use of "System", bad DrSkwid
btw. it is insightful
wrong, it's because the IE is a SYSTEM compromise whereas the others just expose the USER
hence the OF COURSE because of the poor choice of integrating the browser into the system

You remember those, the one's that have arbitrary IE functions spread across them to make removing IE from windows "unpossible"

who can draft you into the army ?
who can deny you a passport and the ability to leave the country ?
