I hope you are not calling the Church of Scientology, in which I devoutly believe, con artists? That would be a hateful troll
Scientology is the only religion I know of that actually has a dirty tricks department or hired private investigators to dig up dirt on IRS agents investigating THEM. It's also the only religion I know of that requires members to pay to gain knowledge of the religion.
Former President Clinton, as one of his last deeds as president, signed an executive order forbidding the mining of the cleanest burning coal in the country. He has relegated us to heavily polluting coal from other areas. If he was really concerned with the environment, that would never have happened. I hope the new leadership backs out this order
No You see what he ACTUALLY signed was an order setting assigned large sections of some of the very little Wild Lands we have left to be protected against human invasion. He is helping to protect areas where humanity might go in and tear up a pristine forest or similar ecosystems, to help provide for humanity(Heche-Hechy anyone?)
MySQL made the "mistake", as you call it, of support transactions for the simple reason that in a web environment like MySQL is often being run, transactions become especially important.
If I'm running a query that is updating a number of financial records to place orders and proccess information, I don't want that process to bomb out half finished, I want it to either be completed or fail to complete. I want the security of knowing that there isn't random orphaned data hiding within the system.
MySQL is a great quick small end database for web applications, and I really hope they find a way to optimize thier transaction work, because I really liked working with it. Until then we will continue in our transaction dependant world.
Umm... yes? I'm sorry it doesn't matter how much time you get off if the overall time you spend at your job is so intolerable compared to the salary it doesn't offset the stress level.
Excuse me? What kind of sociopathic person are you? Communism is not inherently evil. Communism as a theory is a wonderful concept, the applicaiton of that theory is flawed simply because human nature of greed and self-importance take over. Also socialist policies do exist in our society and will continue to do so. We have welfare, and medicare, and medicaid. All of those are socialist policies in nature. And good ones, capitialism in it's basic theory is more flawed than communism, but works better practically because it takes into account the inherent cruelty and selfishness that is in the human race.
Secondly as a homosexual, wiccan man, I think that Bush is the worst possible choice. What we are seeing now is a reactionary movement to the loose and forward thinking methodologies of the 90's. Things changed, and because of that now the conservatives are scared. So they hit back and the social structure swings that way again. It's happened time and time again in our society, but if the pendulum swings too far to the right, then we will be in a period of social and political restrictiveness, and the result will be much like the Restoration era in England after the Puritans held power. The people will go far left, and very free and loose. The 60's drug culture is another example of this.
Ok, this has gotten much longer than it should have. Simply put, communism is not evil, Bush is not the right canidate. Gore isn't right either though, so instead of voting in fear, I'm voting my conscience. Ralph Nader.
Umm... I'm not sure if this is actually going to be enough of a reason to bring linux to the masses.... I mean games are cool and all, but until we have more reliable drivers for all the cool graphics cards, they won't ever be able to compete with some of the more complex Win32 games.
I think maybe some time should be spend working instead on more PRACTICAL applications, like a good Professional document publishing suite that doesn't use WINE.
My vote goes to a pair of students at Drew University. Erik Larsson and Del Sockel. In 3 weeks they managed to create a Web based helpdesk tracking and asset management software based completely upon open-source/freeware materials. MySQL, PHP, PERL, and JavaScript being the base of the work, and this is without any prior experience with PHP or MySQL.
And now they're rewriting it with mod_perl to be an apache module content handler that can do it all much faster and more reliably. Sorry to ramble, but I tend to think it's impressive.
