Sometimes when I read this crap I think people are stupid.
Nobody ever mentions that while CD sales are staggering, DVD sales have been increasing. The money for entertainment did not dry up... it went other places. The CD is an outdated medium just like the cassette and the 8-track.
The kind of people who pirate music and software are the kind of people who would never buy it in the first place. Why? Duh.
Because they are too poor and the products are too expensive for them. Not because they hate record execs or software execs (although they should because they are dumb).
Foreign language and English improvement labs are great applications for community centers, libraries, etc. We have sold them to hundreds of organizations and people love them and actually learn something useful. What's more, they are quite affordable.

That's funny that was my initial reaction to this article as well... I guess its true what they say about too many chefs spoiling the broth.
Every time I am forced to download the newest version on Netscape to check my websites I am amazed that anyone would voluntarily use that piece of crap! It keeps getting worse and worse and more and more pointless with each new version.
My brother wasted a whole day redoing his JavaScript so it would work on Netscape 7 instead of playing football with me in the sun. AOL OWNS Netscape and they STILL won't use it.
They should TERMINATE the program and offer pay hypnosis therapy services to web developers so they can erase it from their memories and stop having nightmares.
Ugh, ignorance is not bliss. Any version of Unix going to be better than any version of Windows for a server application no matter how many commericals they make telling you otherwise.
For the millionth time... for two similarly powered boxes, Unix will outperform Windows up, down, left, right, sideways, forwards, and backwards. Test it yourself and see the light. Many Unix's are free and run on the same hardware as your Windows box. The proof is in the pudding that Windows is an inferior server OS for everything but corporate desktops.
Sir Jagger (yes he has been knighted) is not a rock star. The moral here is when you are an artist and have a billion dollars your muse dries up and leaves you spiritually penniless.
Enormous wealth is not something to be admired it is something to be pitied like cancer or Windows 95 code.
One argument not printed in the article (and I suppose the true real why most new developers choose MySQL) is speed.
Like it or not, MySQL is the world's fastest enterprise quality database. Many universities and ISP's host hundreds of MySQL databases all with downright zippy performance. All those 'features' that MS SQL and PostgreSQL have only tend to make for more slothy performance.
Sure Oracle may be almost as fast as MySQL but almost only counts in horseshoes and RPG's. If you can't afford a dedicated db server or want to improve existing performance without upgrading... then migrating to MySQL is the best choice as long as you don't need stored procedures or other 90% unnecessary features.
In short, you can't run a bank on MySQL but for everything else it seems to be the best tool for the job. If it's feature rich enough for Yahoo Finance then its feature rich enough for me.

I would like to take a dump on an X-Box.
What microsoft wants is not for sale.
