With the delays, I was beginning to think that they'd be shooting boxes of Duke Nukem Forever into space along with the robots once it was time for launch.
A beta of the next major version of open source database MySQL was released on Monday and includes supports for a number of features that could appeal to corporate users.
Yes I did RTFA. Yes, I know they were not commiting a crime.
What I'm saying is had these people really been fraudsters (that's what the word assuming meant in this case), would they really bother to send you the tickets in the mail.
For instance, there are many prize cons over the web that say something along the lines of "You have won a free Xbox." After the fraudster has your credit card and pin number, does he still send you the prize in the mail?

My production machines do have dedicated private connection between each other. Having a second NIC card on each machine definately has advantages.
I know, I know, the database shouldn't even be visible on the public network, etc...
But I'm looking into some PHP-GTK administration tools where I am, so I figure I'll poke a hole in the firewall to allow access to 3306 from my IP address, then have a secure socket connection between myself and the database.
So ultimately, SSL does come in handy in some cases. After all, I doubt MySQL would have implemented it if there weren't any applications for it.
So tell me anonymous coward. Will you be paying with cash?
Oh, I'm sorry. We only take credit cards. I know you don't want to give us your name and all, but I don't feel like getting a Fecalgram in the mail, and I certainly don't feel like meeting you by the docks.
The small hosting company I own, Warp99.com runs it. I offer copies of apache running per user, incremental backups, blah blah (I shouldn't start hawking it until I get the site redesigned)...
I do a lot of DOM / XSLT programming for freelance and for my job. I just refuse to use PHP4 when I don't have to do so. DomXML in PHP4 used functions in order to return objects.
E.g: $node->first_child();
Therefore, it was impossible to go:
E.g: $node->first_child()->attributes;
In PHP5, it's simply:
$node->firstChild->attributes;
I believe in PHP5, it's possible to call the method of an object returned directly ($obj->func()->func2()).
The upgrade from PHP4 to PHP5 is nowhere as painful as from PHP3 to PHP4. In fact, the only errors I ended up logging when I transitioned over were my own coding errors that didn't show up in PHP4 ($this->item was being referenced outside of a class).
I'm gonna be loading the MySQLi module on there when I get the chance. I've really been itching to do stuff like MySQLi::prepare outside of Pear:DB. Not to mention, being able to use SSL to connect to MySQL from PHP is a definate plus.

This would coincide with the idea of "dark energy" though.
It's the answer to everything... Just well, the wrong answer.

In the case of her specifically, don't you mean open sores?
How funny. Right after I post this, the page gets updated with (Beta).
Beta?
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/news-5-0-x.html
As you can see, MySQL 5.0.3 is still in alpha status. It hasn't reached Beta yet.
I'm not sure where the whole "beta" thing came from. Maybe 5.0.4 will be beta, but I don't believe 5.0.3 is.

That's what you think ;)

No.
Assuming these people are fraudsters, would they even be mailing you the tickets? ;)

I'm not sure if I'd rather use the Mac Mini to load OpenBSD on it, or to just have one to mess around with MacOSX.
Maybe I should just get two of them... Eh...
Does Roland Piquepaille think that /. readers are that gullible or does he think that we're just that stupid?
Well, let's see.
- He's still posting stories.
- People are still going to his page.
- We're still here on slashdot.
Was your question rhetorical, kind sir?Just asking.

Yeah, and that's like asking what if Death didn't exist?
I kinda want it to be Dick Cheney, but how would he be named? Would that be Darth Cheney, or would we call him Darth Dick?
Damn Slashdot Editors... and stuff. :)

Especially with that tapeworm and all.
Heheh, have a good one.

I reported a bug, but they still didn't fix this for 5.0.3... Of course this doesn't happen in PHP4 since destructors don't exist. Eh.

Yeah, that's asking for their server to die.
Is it just me... but does anyone else find it ironic that there isn't a torrent available for downloading Bittorrent?
