Funny, ChoicePoint kind of reminds me of what Microsoft wants to do with their.NET establishment. Gather all personal info on one database. Currrently, it's a mistake to put all the eggs in one basket.
You're so informed, it's actually funny..NET != Hailstorm, and Hailstorm was cancelled. I rate your Slashdot-fanboy potshot at Microsoft a solid 2 out of 5.
It's not like you'd be able to tell the database "Make me a backup of the database as it was at is right now, at 12:45:23.183848!" and the database could continue modifying the content of the tables while still producing for you a perfect backup. Even things programmed into the database to perform an action like this would take as much overhead as locking the tables first anyway, right?
It's easier than you think. It will just copy everything from the data file PLUS everything from the transaction log BEFORE the time the backup started.
People who think MySQL is a Real Database don't know what a Real Database is/does.
Frozen Bubble is nearly identical to Bust-a-Move. They just replaced the dinosaurs with penguins.
Grand Theft Auto has several differences from Driver et. al. If those "clones" were as close to GTA as Frozen Bubble is to B.A.M., you can bet damned sure there would have been a lawsuit.
In Canada, credit unions are so accessible, I don't know why you *wouldn't* use one. I just got $90 in shares for free just for doing business with them. TD, BoM, RBC and CIBC sure aren't going to do that.
I went to a Future Shop in Winnipeg to buy a digital camera after Best Buy took them over.
The saleswoman asked if I wanted the PSP. I said no, if it breaks, it will break in the first year, and it has its own 1-year warranty.
She said if it breaks and I don't have the PSP, then I'll have to ship it to Canon and it could take months to fix. And, if they don't sell that model anymore, they don't *have* to fix it.
So I said, "you're telling me that it has a 1-year warranty and they don't have to honour it?"
She looked kind of sheepish and said, "well, that's what the store told me."
I bought the camera and have been using it for almost 2 years without a problem. (Canon Powershot A40.)
The easy way to remember how to spell its/it's is to remember that "it's" is simply a contraction for "it is" -- hence "it's." If you don't mean "it is", use "its."

The odds are, what, 99% that the game is for Windows? Should he mention what shape and size the box is, too?
The only thing that Hailstorm had to do with .NET is that it was marketed alongside .NET.
.NET service even though you don't need the CLR on your machine to run it.
Hell, MSN Messenger is considered a
You're so informed, it's actually funny.
You have troops in Saskatchewan? No way, eh?!?
He said he *outsourced* it, not *offshored* it. Perhaps the outsourcer *is* local.
I bought a Dell Dimension 4400 2.5 years ago and it came with a real Windows XP CD. I've even had to install off of it after my NTFS was corrupted.
Interestingly enough, I didn't have any product activiation issues, and I didn't even have to register XP.
So, I don't think your statement is universally true.
It's easier than you think. It will just copy everything from the data file PLUS everything from the transaction log BEFORE the time the backup started.

...because it doesn't need the .NET CLR installed to run.
Is there anything that SQL can't do? I've been using various RDBMS for years and it hasn't come up yet.
You press CTRL-Break. It's undocumented but it works, even when you're surrogate-debugging a COM object.

Uhhh, Frozen Bubble is an almost *exact* copy of Bust-a-Move. The gaming industry is at least more innovate than *that*.
No worries!
Two words:
Credit.
Union.

You're assuming Sun knows what the hell they're doing... ... which they clearly don't.

That can't be true. Last I heard, neither Darl not the other execs sold any stock since.
I don't think it will make living in that nuclear powderkeg of a country any more attractive.

You mean, "It automatically updates *its* definitions, too."
I can't believe how many people get this wrong.
No mature themed games? What about Conker's Bad Fur Day?
I have a 3.1 GB Fujitsu drive that just started reporting funny characters during the BIOS boot process. Should I quit using it, or what?
Read the .PDF. They did try it on Linux, and it was faster on Windows 2000.
Without "green" threads, you're running one process per thread on Linux, which sucks.
