In my personal experience, no. When I was doing developer support for a web app development platform, I never once saw DB2 in use. Somebody else could probably tell you more about it than I.:-)
1: It's not the record count, it's the data size.
2: Quite a bit depends on the underlying OS, and what it can and cannot do.
3: Quite a bit relies on what you're doing; a database optimized for transactions will have different high water marks than a database optimized for querying.
4: That having been said, the Big Four (Oracle, Sybase, Informix, MS SQL Server) can pretty much handle what you throw at them, so long as you can shell for the hardware.
Here are some examples, from throughout the ages, of how Pokemon singlehandedly incites violence.
Gengis Khan: "I choose you, Mongol Hordeion!"
Nero: "Vulpix, flame thrower attack, now!"
Hitler: "Jewish bastard tricked me out of my Mewtwo card!"
It's my job to create redundant systems such that any single failure won't interrupt production.....
That entire statement assumes that you have a pretty much unlimited budget, and free reign to do your job. In most companies, the IT department has neither.
why can't they film around one with a broken ankle?
They did; see Jackie Chan in 'Rumble in the Bronx' for a broken ankle, and any of his other movies for various broken bits.
Watch the credits; they show him breaking the ankle, getting the cast, putting a thingy over the cast to look like his sock/shoe, and getting on with things.
My HCI text says that/maybe/ 10% of people use the right mouse button.
Two questions: 1: when was this book published, and 2: who published it?
My mouse has four buttons and a clickable scroll wheel, and I use all five on a regular basis.
Although, in Windows, using the keyboard at all times is faster.:-)
The article claims that the police found several "how-to books on computer hacking." Foo in a Nutshell perhaps?
ROFL.
In related news, a local man charged police with the robbery of his house.
"Who else," the man said to reporters, "would have the ability, the training, the alabi, to do this? Nobody suspects the police, it's the perfect cover."
As proof, the man points out rooms in the police precinct which are full of stolen goods. The police claim that these are 'evidence lockers', which causes the man to scoff. "Sure, and I'm *really* only buying these CD-Rs to make backups of my own data. Right.":-)
It's tape, right? So it's not digital! No random access, none of those little extras that DVD has that are available right at your fingertips instantly.
It is, in fact, digital; DLT, or Digital Linear Tape.
Well, it's an analouge representation of digital information, but so is a hard drive, a CD-ROM, and so on.
There's a surprising number of apps being written, by random people, for the dreamcast. MP3 players, emulators for other consoles, it's all good.
Try dcemulation.com for a start.
Well, with Caldera, two of the virtual terminals are displaying stuff; one being the text kernal boot messages, one being something or other else I can't recall off hand.
No right minded company would even run the risk of getting sued over this kind of thing. Even one in India.
If paying the legal fees is cheaper than doing the 'right thing,' then that's what they'll do. Hell, one could argue that any publicly traded company is, in fact, legally bound to break the law, if it will result in increased profits after all is said and done.
Isn't wireless, which counts as 'public broadcast' covered by much stricter laws, in the USA, than anything going over phone/cable lines? Might explain the harsh rules.
Then again, might be standard Corporate Cluelessness(tm).
games like redalert/total a have had this idea for along time, and i would suspect that it has been in science fiction literature for much longer. i wouldnt call this an innovation by the scientists.
Well, HOT DAMN! I never realized that writing a book about something was the exact equivalent of actually running out and doing it!
IT guy: "Our Y2K inititive is rolling right along, and...."
Layman: "Y2K?"
IT guy: "Yeah, it's short for 'Year 2000.'"
Layman: "Isn't it that exact sort of short form-ing that started this whole mess in the first place?"
The UNIX clock uses a 32 bit unsigned integer to count the number of seconds starting at, I believe, Jan 1, 1970, 00:00. In 2038, I believe, that 32 bit integer will run out of seconds, and roll over.
I merely cite the book as a really great basic introduction.
And especially in this Internet world, the average user would find that installation quite tedious to use; needing to be present to put a finger on a plate during boot, no backups, no Internet access, etc etc....
Here's a simple example that'll work on quite a few UNIX systems, as well as Windows based ones. I'll do it in pseudo-code, but you can do it how you'd like; even a shell script.

"Dreamcast DOES run WinCE"
Incorrect.
"Dreamcast CAN run WinCE"
Correct.
Most DC games don't use WinCE.
Equifax is the big one, me thinks.
