While I can't speak for db servers of the 80's, Modern database servers have many optimizing techniques such as indexing and caching in ram that makes it much more efficient than any basic binary readers. You would need to spend a lot of time developing your reader in order to make it as efficient as a modern db server on large datasets.
VB6's actually very easy to understand when you have the code...
I inherited a large VB6 kludge of a project last year, and I strongly disagree..Net is far easier to understand and refactor, and the conversion is relatively painless if you know what you're doing.
I've been slowly converting to.Net and rewriting one module at a time.
eg. Aion has options;
1. Full Screen
2. Windowed
3. Full Screen windowed
if you use option 3, you can full screen on one monitor, but move your mouse over to second monitor and change focus over to another application there. You can do this with 1 as well, but it takes forever (something about having to reinit stuff in directx or something - you'll see that in a lot of games), and you can do it in 2 but you get nasty window title bar and minimize/maximize/close buttons.
Some of us might be interested, other might consider it shameless self promotion. If slashdot was doing front page adverts for every tiny FOSS project, we'd never hear any real news.
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
or in the words of the Virginia Ratifying Convention:
That those clauses which declare that Congress shall not exercise certain powers be not interpreted in any manner whatsoever to extend the powers of Congress. But that they may be construed either as making exceptions to the specified powers where this shall be the case, or otherwise as inserted merely for greater caution.
Also, Considering that Android hasn't yet had time to mature as an OS, it is quite presumptuous of the author to name it one of the [great os's of the decade].
The problem is that a bunch of kids with what used to be called "mental retardation" managed to get diagnosed as "autistic" because the latter had better benefits than the former. Quelle surprise.
And then start complaining to software vendors when they write crappy software that only supports the standard DPI.
There are plenty of technologies out there to help developers write UI's that scale properly with the Windows DPI setting (ie. WPF for the.Net devs out there).
The PDF in the article is mostly marketing, and does not do much in the way of explaining how they arrived at those numbers other than;
"Cenzic analyzed all reported vulnerability information from sources including NIST, MITRE, SANS, US-CERT, OSVDB as well as other third party databases for Web application security issues reported during the first half of 2009."
We can therefore conclude that those numbers are based upon reported vulnerabilities, regardless of whether or not they were fixed. From my experience Firefox has a good habit of quickly patching security vulnerabilities. For example, there is the SSL spoof vulnerability discovered late July that Firefox fixed in 5 days and IE/Safari/Chrome still haven't fixed in over 3 months AFAIK)
So there is nothing to indicate that Firefox is necessarily a less secure browser.
If you don't know what you're doing, you need to run antivirus. These "tests" were performed by actually running the executables. I don't consider that a vulnerability - If you invite murderers and rapists into your home is that fault of your security system or is it your own damn fault?

Wouldn't that be like saying Gold would become worthless if we had it in large volumes?
Does it not still have many applicable uses?
Compared to most other substances we can harvest/produce, Gold is not particularily useful.

It depends on the game.

This is what happens when you award corporations the same rights as those awarded to real people.
And by explicitly circumscribing what governments may not do, they implicitly give the government the right to do everything else.
I would suggest you read the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution Which reads;
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
or in the words of the Virginia Ratifying Convention:
That those clauses which declare that Congress shall not exercise certain powers be not interpreted in any manner whatsoever to extend the powers of Congress.

So does slashdot "hurt blind net admins and developers" because they can't read it too?
