...except that if Oracle owns the copyrights to MySQL, they can close source future versions of MySQL and/or let mainline development languish. I don't know if they also own the name "MySQL" but if they do they can forbid any forks of MySQL from being called "MySQL" as well.
Its simpler than that. Virtually all American cities are dying due to gross government mismanagement. All the job growth is in the suburbs. "downtown" is where companies/people go to die/downsize. Virtually all people with education and skills want to live in the suburbs for VERY obvious reasons, primarily because of the other people whom live in the burbs and the other people whom live in the cities. So, why would the executives want a long horrible commute?
Huhhhhh? Are you posting from the 70s??? The suburbs have been dying for the past 20 years, while the cities have been booming. Check out downtown Brooklyn someday, if you don't believe me. People with education and skills tend to want to live someplace interesting, not some soulless sterile whitebread suburb. I spend a single day in the suburbs and I get depressed.
You're correct about it being a half-wavelength, but that has less to do with 'range' and more to do with matching the impedance of the antenna with that of the transmitter. An antenna that is a half wavelength and fed in the center is called a dipole [wikipedia.org], and typically presents an impedance of 50-80 ohms [radio-electronics.com] to the transmitter (with most of being purely resistive, one hopes). This arrangement would allow the station to omit a matching circuit, which would be enormous and costly for 2 MW of power.
No no no. You are completely and utterly wrong. You obviously don't know the first thing about engineering, radio technology, or even basic physics.
Nah I'm just messing with you...All I know about radios is you press the on button and suddenly voices come from the magic box. I assume it's some sort of sorcery.
It's a bit like a tragedy of the commons thing. In an aggregate level, it's better to take far less antibiotics. But for any individual it's more beneficial than not to take them for that individual.
"engineers and engineering students are much more likely to hold strong conservative and religious views than a general cross section of the public" Nonsense, I've been hanging around with scientists and engineers most of my life.
The article didn't say scientists, it said engineers. Why did you throw scientists in? Apples and oranges.
My observation is that few of them hold hard and fast convictions about anything they cannot measure or mathematically derive.
My experience differs greatly. And one problem is a lot of engineers think you can measure or mathematically derive things you really can't. And I think there is a reason a lot of the more prominent creationists are engineers.
Except possibly when it comes to debates about beer of the best editor to use.
Or the federal reserve or the gold standard or welfare or income tax or flat taxes or open source or...
If your job title doesn't have manager in it, you are a red shirt. Just an expendable enlisted man. Know your place and it will flow well. Tell the officers they are full of shit and can't do their own job. Well now that's a problem.
If you have "manager" in your title you're also expendable. Usually you need to be called "Director" of something before you're out of the expendable category. Hell, depending on the size of the organization, "vice-president" sometimes means you're expendable.
The ION platform is a big thing, its already used in a few HTPC setups and I expect it to grow even more in 2010.
For the price the ION is great (I have an Acer Revo, and it is a badass computer for $200), but I can't imagine making it an HTPC workhorse, the performance is just too lacking.
Felony stop if you get above 2 stars, and banned for a day of "real world" time, because you're in jail. If you kill a man and get caught, you lose the game.
Ahh, nothing like raining death and destruction on a city in a military-grade tank, then getting a fine and a few hours in jail when they finally catch you.
If you don't like TV sport, fair enough - me too. If you have never seen a decent match go and see one. Europe, South Americe or plenty other places are good. If you don't like any sport STFU please.
Make me. Popularity is not necessarily a sign of quality.
Apple makes products that are, to my eye, of a generally better design, quality, and level of attentiveness and integration than your average Dell or HP or Motorola, etc.
My experience (admittedly anecdotal), has been that Apple makes products that seem, when you touch them, to be of higher quality, but they eventually break. Of all the computers I've had, the two macs lasted the shortest period of time before getting bricked. In both cases it was apparently a common design problem. I am really coveting the 27 inch imac right now (hideously overpriced for the specs, I know), but I honestly am not sure it's worth buying something that will probably break down in the next few years.

Anybody who buys a computer from Best Buy instead of going to Newegg or TigerDirect probably deserves exactly what they get.
Is TigerDirect that good? I would trust Newegg with my newborn (if I had one), but I always got a shady vibe from TigerDirect...

A right that they paid for.

And I'm laughing, but only at the fact that you have a Mickey Mouse desk calendar...
I wanted to see it too, but my wife made me watch Alvin and the Chipmunks instead...
Probably should dump her, not because she made you see it, but because she wanted to see it herself in the first place.

Or when they do, it's usually a good thing so you don't care what they look like.
They're clearly trying to force you into a blue collar category.

Oh definitely; as far as I can tell the 27 inch imac has a screen resolution you can't get in any other 27 inch monitors, anywhere.
He levied war on the United States, adhered to its enemies, or gave them aid or comfort?
Yeah, that bothers me too, Jobs is a classic narcissist, and stock price shouldn't be the measure of a person's worth.

Why would you use something that drops calls at all ?
Because the minor irritation is more than made up for its advantages.
Mega-D returned on 13 November using a different collection of bots, sending between 4-5% of spam
In other words he cut the amount of spam he sent in half? That's not too shabby.
That's nothing, I have the engineering know-how to accelerate any train you give me to about 9,000 feet per second, if I can find a high enough cliff.
Yeah think it went over their heads.
Are you sure the REAL reason isn't that New Yorkers are just not cool enough? That east coast vibe severely damps down on the cool, ya know.
No, we're so cool that we already had the iphone for years and years, and got bored of it.
