  1. Re:umm.... on What's Coming In Red Hat 7.0 · · Score: 1

    The only trouble I've had is that the kernel-version 2.4.0-testX contains the string "4.0" which triggers javascripts that look for 4.0 browsers (javascript:navigator.appVersion) to exclude buggy netscape 4.0 browsers. So when I run a 2.4.0-kernel I'm locked out of my bank.

    Not excactly a kernel-bug, though :)

    And as for the kernel itself, I've had no problems.

  2. Databases are overrated on MySQL Released Under The GPL · · Score: 1

    ...at least when it comes to speed for tables with few ( less than 1 mil) entries.

    $ for i in `seq 1000000`; do echo $RANDOM >> randomlines;done
    $ time grep -c 1234 randomlines
    415

    That is 9/100 of a second to do a "select" and count of 1 million lines in bash using good old grep. And no db-connections to bother with...

    How does MySQL or Postgres compare to that?
