But the fact is, MySQL simply kills it in performance. Which is usually the number one issue with any kind of database.
No. Actually, speed (which is what I assume you mean by performance) is the last thing a database engineer is worried about; otherwise, you're just increasing the speed at which you fuck your dataset.
Atomicity, consistency, isolation, durability. Thats what the database people care about. Beyond that, if it's a database of any import, you just throw more data at it.
As somebody once pointed out, if speed is what you're after, use flat text files and grep. The speed of grep is nigh infinate.
Many NT network applications (ummm... IIS?) have poorly implemented security features or designs.
As opposed to what? Telnetd on Linux? wu-ftpd? Bind? Sendmail?
Too many people have this idea that Linux is more intrinsically secure, or is secure out of the box, or is a 'turnkey' solution. The only reason Linux exploits aren't more prevalent than NT exploits at the moment is that people are concentrating on NT.
Pretty much the only advantage the Linux people have is that they're familiar with the exploits that went around UNIX ten years ago. Lpr on irix, rpcd on solaris, and so on. Did you see how far they got from NT4 to NT5 (Win2K?)
In the UNIX world, as opposed to the Linux world, finger is widly regarded, along with ftpd, sendmail (older versions especially), bind and rpc as being the hole-iest (as opposed to the holiest) of daemons.
Linux is not a secure operating system. I dare say it is, in fact, less secure than NT. Linux doesn't come anywhere near having the proper underlying infrastructure for security. Wouldn't even qualify for C2 security.
Note that a properly secure OS requires hardware support, before you get all snippity. I'd rate Linux up there with DOS, and that's before you plug it into a network.
The M1 tank is an amazing weapon. Even takes into account how many shells have been fired through the barrel overall, and lately, as that affects performance.
As to the TCP/IP network, are you talking about IVIS? Turns the battlefield into a video game; absolutely amazing.
I don't know much about MPEG-4, but I can tell you alot about MPEG-2.
MPEG-2 is designed to be encoder-intensive, as well as encoder-biased, meaning that improvements can be made to the encoding process, but a five year old decoder will be able to decode it.
MPEG-2 encoding is also a multi-step process; you go through, cobble together a rough-encode scheme, then go BACK through and re-encode it.
Also, a lot of the neat tricks, like VBR, wouldn't be much use. With MPEG, you're playing for space; how much video can you cram onto that VCD or DVD? With these phones, you've got bandwidth; you want to fill those 64 KB of space, at all times, or it's just not worth it.
... and only give them the bare necessities like Stinger missiles.
I'm reminded of Dogbert's stint as a substitute teacher.
Dogbert: Jimmy! Is that a stinger missile? Well, I hope you brought enough for everybody!!! Jimmy I did.
Yup. The DC is an SVGA card with a TV-out. The PlayStation2 on the other hand, is designed with the TV as the primary output. Yuck.
And the PC version of the PowerVR3 [can does] render to 1600 by 1200 then downsample for another version of anti-aliasing.
Exactly; on Linux, it's 'justified' to have a web server running for no good reason. On Microsoft it's 'inexcusable' and 'stupid.'
Want to share files on UNIX? NFS. Samba. FTP.
Want to do it automatically? Then screw Morpheous, I'll just troll the @home subnets for open kpf shares.
Your character stalwartly advances towards the Bridge of Doom. It's a rotten, rickity rope and wood bridge. Looking down, you cannot see the bottom of the Gorge of Peril; only fetid smoke, smelling of the grave. You hear the gibbering of mad things, things just beyond the ken of mortals.northAs you approach the end of the bridge. You see an old man, white of eye, stooped, gnarled, wearing tattered robes. At your approach, he lifts his head, and intones in a strangely singsong voice: You must answer me these questions three, ere the other side ye see!/say I'm not afraid, bridgekeeper! Ask me your questions!The bridgekeeper nods, and asks the first question. WHAT...is the worlds most refreshing drink?/say Coke.The bridgekeeper cackles in delight.What....is the athletic shoe most likely to improve your game?/say Nike.The bridgekeeper claps his hands sarcastically. WHAT....was the effect Napster had on the sales of compact disks sold by the RIAA, as is generally accepted by journalists, the ignorant, and people afraid of 'that Internet thing?'/say What? But CD sales went up!The bridgekeeper grasps a lever and pulls it, and you are catapulted into the Gorge of Peril.
Lets face it. Konquerer does it, they're lauded. Had Microsoft done it, people would have complained about how they were ignoring standards and dictating standards.
Hmmm... interesting take. How would you define sexually juvenile versus sexually repressed?
One thing I read, in a book called 'On Killing' that always sticks in my mind is the idea that pre-Victorian times, a family generally slept in a communal room or two; kids new parents had sex in the middle of the night. Then, in Victorian times, the concept of sexuality was SO scary, they put skirts on their FURNITURE so they wouldn't have to look at naked couch legs and the like.
But compared to someplace like France, or even Germany, I'd say NA is repressed. Getting much much better, perhaps even understanding that we're repressed and working as a society to fix it, but repressed none the less.
Of course, I'm also a big believer in the pendulum action of systems, so I think NA will swing way over into the overly sexual, then slump again, then figure it out a bit later.:-)
Oh, and please do keep me posted. As of Friday the 28th, my ex-company has declared Chapter 11 and I'm now afforded 'the exciting opportunity to expand my horizons and advance my professional career.':-)/:-(
Go read all the negative reactions in the 'How was the first episode of Enterprise?' Ask Slashdot to a few minutes of pokey nipples, then tell me North America isn't sexually repressed.:-)
I'll assume you're being serious. I've got two daughters, a third due in 16 days. The first thing you lose, when you have a child, is modesty.
Your kids will only learn what you teach them. If you teach them that vaginas and breasts are naughty and dirty, they'll grow up ashamed and scared of them. If you teach them that vaginas are body parts that pee comes out of, and breasts are squishy bits that girls have, and that mommy uses to feed the new baby, that's what they'll grow up thinking. They'll figure out the sexual parts when the time comes; puberty or whenever they're ready.
Now, obviously I'm not advocating showing them hard core porn; but they're more than capable of understanding that kissing is something mommies and daddies who love each other do, and so on. Any sexual content they'll see on a day to day basis will go right over their heads. And that which doesn't, explain to them.
Whoever said 'you can't judge a book by the cover' is technically true, but should have added 'however, the cover will do a lot to attract people to read the book.'
I don't care if you're the most technically competant lawyer in the world, if you can't speak well, and convey your arguments well, you're going to do poorly as a lawyer. That's why some lawyers are worth so much.
Sadly, though, a good argument will beat legal truth sometimes....
What does a five year old know about context?
Mommy, what are they doing?
They're putting medicine on each other.
Oh. What are those bumps on that lady's boobs?
They're her nipples. She's probably cold.
Or is your kid too insulated from the world to know what bodyparts are what and what effect weather has on them?
What, you're selling a pronto for 50 bucks plus shipping? If so, email me.:-)

USB has a wonderful concept called 'hot plugging.' What you do, is plug the USB printer into the computer that wants to print, and print. No fuss, no muss, no reboot required.
Oh, absolutely, and that's because most firewalls do content filtering as well; the lines between firewall, content filter and IDS are blurring every day.
Hell, most of the nimda and codered bounced off of my firewall because the requests didn't match any of the server publishing rules.

Actually, I always thought that Lucas just didn't know how to pronounce 'Mitochondria.'
Ah, so you're allowed to swap components into and out of Linux to help the security, but not allowed to do so with NT?

So Microsoft throws in IIS, and it's a huge security hole. KDE does it, and it's a 'fine thing to do.'
