I may be biased, but I think Postgresql is *easier* to use than MySQL. Thanks to PgAdminIII even newbies can do a fine job of managing a rock-solid RDBMS.
It was a design choice to not have reviewers. One reason is that nobody has time to do it, another is to encourage fast discussions.
The current setup works. Sure, if you are determined you could set up a whole pyramid of shill accounts and start spamming all at once. But what would you accomplish? All accounts involved will be removed within a day. Not worth the trouble.
Downside of this whole setup is that quite a few people that would add value in the discussions can't get membership because they haven't got ties with any current members.
Perhaps there will be some 'probationary period' for new members without sponsors, in the future.
I'm a member of a few forums (fora?) and mailing lists where you can only post when you have backing of two members. If you start spamming, you get kicked out and those two sponsors are kicked out.
So far, with a few thousand members, there have been _two_ spams in total.
Besides that, how would it have come here anyway? What is the escape velocity for getting out of a star system? And, what is the chance of 'hitting' another system in stead of wandering off into the immensely large void?
Me thinks this news smells a bit like trying to get some funding...
If Valve tries to suppress this, I will never, ever buy anything related to Valve or Steam again.
However, I they are smart, they will offer the guys a very handsome amount of money for their work and sell it on Steam. I would buy it *now*, if they did.
If the game is as good as the trailer led me to believe, I sure wouldn't mind paying for it.
The Minerva mod for HL2 was also very high quality, for those that haven't seen it yet.
But, if he had been nerding at home, he would have a job by now.
Looks like submitter missed the boat: too old to get enough experience by himself, too old to go back to school and be taken seriously afterwards.
No hope, this one has.

FreeBSD, Apache, Perl, Postgresql
Best decision I ever made.
I have a few books from the seventies that are as new, and a few pockets that are at most five years old that are yellow and crumbly.
Quality paper lasts longer than cheap paper. Well, colour me surprised.

Man, that's a flashback to the days of BitFTP! :-(

Hahaha, that's rich. Considering that I am a physicist, that is.
Yes. Yes, it is.
You mean "dotel of the action", then, don't you? :-)
If had enough velocity to escape its home system, it wouldn't be captured by "us" either.

I'd rather they get cracking on Blue Shift. But I wouldn't say no to OpFor either!
Well, not that that is news, but still.

Perl is awesome!
Is submitter really thinking he is special because he implemented a trivial backtracking algorithm that every first semester CS student has done?
Not when I'm in the jury, it isn't.
Seems to be working...
Maybe Neal could write a Cryptonomicon 2, I would enjoy that!
And, after it cools down, the taste isn't bad either, I can tell you.
Before spouting off nonsense, maybe you should finish that horror movie you claim to be making for years now.
