Not necessarily. MSSQL and Oracle come out as legitimately faster in many use cases. MSSQL is generally easier to set up and use in a small to midsized application than most other offerings, and the code written to use the database can be easily migrated from SQL Express all the way to MSSQL enterprise. MySQL is great, but has been shown to not perform as well on giant data sets. Oracle usually wins in those cases, but it is a BITCH to configure. MSSQL also supports a lot of different data types natively.
The Open Source solutions are great for a small project, but from many DBAs I've spoken to, don't scale well.
I should note that I use MySQL on all my home projects. It works wonders. But I wouldn't choose it if I was looking to do something that requires blazing fast query speeds. MS and Oracle have some good products here, despite Oracle not being able to design a user interface to save their lives. MS is good because they bought it, but the Management Studio is quite nice to work in (MS is very good at making developer tools).
So, I'm a software developer, ex-Asterisk Administrator, like tinkering, and am more than capable of using a Linux desktop, and I prefer Windows. It's not because I am "lazy", but I feel like a lot of Linux lovers think that. It's just that text based OS configuration, command line scripts, and archaic help files aren't my particular brand of fun. I don't enjoy tinkering with that, I would rather do other things. I use my computers to do things, and I'd rather not waste time trying to get my sound card to work. Even if, in the end, after all the tinkering, I get a marginally better experience, it's not worth the time for me. I want my computer to browse the internet, do some light image manipulation (Paint.NET is what I use), listen to music, and run an IDE. Windows makes that easy for me. Linux may or may not.
It's not laziness, or not wanting to learn. It's that I don't care what is running behind the scenes. Even if Linux is the best, it's not leaps and bounds better to be worth the effort.
Ever noticed it says that every time you see a picture of a screen in any sort of ad? It's because taking a picture of a screen adds glare and shows a dimmer output than what a user would see by just looking at it. Also, you're limited by what the screen that the user is watching. Even if they could take a perfect picture of an actual screen and put it in an ad, a user would never know if it's better than the screen he's looking at. So there's absolutely no point to even trying to take a real picture, and it's immensely difficult. So all advertisements just do an image render of pictures on screen.
I guess I just think people should pay their taxes. If I make over 20,000 dollars, my employer reports me. Not sure why other people should get away with it because they're selling stuff on E-Bay. It's not really an invasion of privacy. They didn't ask for what people were selling, just if they made over a certain amount of money selling stuff. And it's not like their looking for some people who sold one or two trinkets. 20,000 is a lot of income you're trying to hide.
This is very short sighted, and assumes that everything students do is driven by money. Which is isn't. During my time in college (I'm 28), Your political views were generally driven by social issues rather than anything to do with taxes or federal funding of loans.
I text and drive all the time. Seriously, like every day. While moving at a high rate of speed, even! Jesus, you guys act like I'm murdering babies.
Truth is, I do it because it's not that dangerous. Most of us can type without looking at the keyboard. In fact, we can type without looking at the screen! I do the same thing to text while driving. Pay attention to the road first, text when it's appropriate. Don't do it when you might hit someone. Empty interstates are a good place. Red lights are decent.
You just need to teach, in driving school, that you always pay attention to the road first and second, and everything else after that. After that, you can do pretty much anything and drive without much incident.
It's not lazy if everyone running in your local elections is a loony toon. I can rally as many people as I want to vote, but people who run for local office around here are just the busy bodies who have nothing to do. Getting a person you believe in to run for local office is difficult when they already have a career..
If that's 3 jobs, then you're going to have 3 bored people working 15 hours a week. Or you can hire one decent web developer, and maybe a hire a graphic design company to outsource some of the bigger graphics jobs. If you hire a web developer, he should be able to handle javascript, server side code, and at least some basic SQL querying. Otherwise, you have a useless developer.
See, you're arguing the wrong thing. This is why you're getting frustrated.
The beginnings of the universe have very little to do with the theory of evolution. Yet, for some reason, you keep bringing it up in this argument, as if it makes your assertion that creationism (meaning the belief that every living thing on the planet was here at the beginning of the universe, or the planet, or whatever) belongs in a science classroom. There is absolutely no evidence that that belief is true, so the argument is "no, it doesn't". And then you come in with philosophy debates. Now, whether the philosophy should be studied is a different question. It probably shouldn't be studied in a science classroom, because science classes teach what humanity has learned with the scientific method. A belief in a creator doesn't change the fact that creationism makes no sense from the evidence we gathered, and therefore should probably not be teaching it to children.
You're trying to argue whether a Creator exists, with philosophical references. Everyone else is arguing whether we should be teaching about that Creator in a class where there being a creator or not shouldn't matter, since we can't prove it scientifically either way.
And make iPads cost ~$10,000 a piece? Get real. Until the process can be completely mechanized, there will be no plant in the US. The US Manufacturing industry is gone. We need to embrace that fact and move forward.
Did you bother to read any other comments? They're using the Kinect API to do voice commands, they didn't roll their own voice recognition (as that is much more difficult). Furthermore, there is apparently a mod that allows you to do this on the PC. Not everything is some terrible thing Microsoft did to fuck you over.
"In mathematical terms, the Euclidean distance between the centroids of the two clusters was significantly larger than the intra-cluster distances between any members of either cluster." Any English major could tell you what kind of cluster that sentence is!
This sentence makes perfect sense. They were a little redundant when saying "intra-cluster distances between any members of either cluster", where they could have just said "intra-cluster distances".
You do it via lookup: Log in with your own credentials, then if you have rights, look up a user you'd like to impersonate. This way you don't need their password at all, only your own.

My GTI is comfortable for 4 adults (just did a 7 hour trip with 4 full grown adults, no complaints), I have to imagine a Passat would be better.
Put one together without it, and let us know how it turns out on the machine you have to build afterwards.

I agree completely. It's why I'm leaving my current job. They want to give me 2.5% raises every year, and I can get a 50% jump in salary by leaving.
No one should plan on staying at a company for more than 3 years any more. It's not worth it.

Yes. Black people love Orange and Grape sodas for some reason.
Not really. I'm ridiculously good looking, but have none of those things. I still get laid.
It seems like kind of a quick jump otherwise.
Not all of the 20 something engineers are idiots. I'm 27, and I'd much rather use a SQL Database for most things. Also, I know what I'm doing.

No, New England pays more in taxes than it receives. You can see it here http://visualeconomics.creditloan.com/united-states-federal-tax-dollars/ Only Vermont and Maine receive more than they pay. I believe those are the two least populated states in the area.
Or make a plain "Windows 8" for home users and "Windows 8 Pro" for business/power users.
That's what they did. The third version is for ARM processors, which obviously needs to be different.
You hang out with idiots. Many (most?) of us feel differently.

I have 4 7-11's on my street, and would beg to differ.
The reason people use hashes is because they are fast. Encryption/Decryption is relatively slow.
