The problem, as I see it, is that the original poster is comparing the wrong things; namely, he's looking at MySQL for some odd reason, when several other people have here already pointed out that the de-facto OSS solution to this is PostgreSQL and PostGIS. Sounds pretty much like a drop-in solution to me.
2nd on the PostgreSQL and PostGIS. The OP should also consider using the google maps as a base map through their API
So in other words, you're an idiot that doesn't do any research on the products you buy. If people refuse to buy unsafe cars *gasp* then no businessman in his right mind would make them. Smarten up, dummy.
You know that the auto companies fought vociferously against seat belts,safety glass and air bags right?
He said "I don't mean that in the sense of photography as a hobby or a profession, but simply as a method for taking images" and you recommend an SLR? Seriously?
Have you dealt with the shutter lag on a point and shoot? They are largely useless if you want to take a photo of anything that moves faster than a grandmother.
How about one of the new LED projectors and a pdf ebook? Granted you have to read off the wall, but it may be a relatively cheap workaround.
Books on tape are an old standby also, I use them while commuting.
Here's an idea, why don't we just shut down 20 of the 21 sections of the Department of Agriculture so they only have one email system?
We can keep food safety inspections, at least until an adequate private inspection regime is in place (like the one that inspects food and facilities for Kosher and Halal dietary requirements).
The last time "food safety inspections", was privatized, the outcome was detailed in "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair. A rollicking read, but not something that I would like to return to.
I think this librarian is just upset because he/she is realizing how irrelevant the idea of a library is anymore. Seriously, when was the last time any of you actually used a library?
This week. I never understood why they are not utilized even more than they are in these economic times. Your taxes have already paid for the books on the shelves, why buy another copy?
Same here, now on page 4 and I had been on page 1, sometimes page 2. I think it boils down to keeping on making new content, to keep ahead of the curve. I think google does recognize, to some degree, where certain content originated. I hope so at least.
You got modded insightful, which shows the mods are as ignorant as you are. Rich people buy more things and more expensive things a sales tax is the only fair tax there is.
Not necessarily. Warren Buffett has always stated his secretary pays more taxes as a percentage of income than he does.

Also a poor person by definition lives from paycheck to paycheck, spending 100% of any take home pay, which is then taxed. A rich person, may save 20% of their take home salary, negating any sales taxes collected on the portion saved.
Yes, but Amazon will no longer have a physical presence in the state, thus Texas will not be able to collect on any future sales tax. Texas needs to cut some sort of compromise deal with Amazon or they will lose out in the long run, but in lost revenue from jobs and physical infrastructure, as well as potential future sales tax.
See the problem is Amazon did not collect sales tax for Texas from those past sales, thus this money has to come out of their bottom line, instead of literally just taking money from the state population and giving it to the state government when sales tax is tacked on as normal.
They should put a lien on the property and the physical assets for the full amount of the taxes due. Wake them latte drinkin' Internet types up real quick.
Its for a different reason; GS created a vehicle with exactly 499 investors to specifically skirt a rules that requires any company with more than 500 investors to be publicly traded.
The SEC woke up for once in their lives and started poking around, rather than taking the heat, GS created the vehicle overseas, and only offered it to non US clients.
Shady and circumspect to say the least.

SOX does not apply to Facebook, at least now today. It is for publicly held companies only, and thus applies to only a small portion of all businesses in the US.
Never heard of change Xrumer, interesting. Vbulletin has a lot of plugins and user setting that capture or deny 99% of the spam. Its to the point that on a good Vbulletin setup, the only place a new user can add an external URL is in their profile, which would be a nofollow link anyway. I still haven't figured a way to deny a new user with less than 5 posts a link to their homepage though
The "vendor" (it's a blog) isn't telling people to stay away from it, it's literally linked back to that dude's photostream and describes the license which means the vendor thinks they're following the license and doesn't think their blog is commercial use despite the ads. And he probably hasn't gotten a response back from the guy because he emailed him about a blog post that is titled Gone Fishin because the dude literally fucking left to go camping in the woods and included a photo of a hammock. Give me a break.
These are one of the most dangerous tools you can use. Not because they're particularly dangerous themselves, but because people like to cut their thumbs off when they use them.
A chainmail glove reduces the chance of this.
I cant say that I have ever seen anyone use a chainmail glove with a tablesaw, hobbyist or professional. A average table saw would be able to cut right through chainmail. Ef. There are special blades you can use when cutting lumber with nails in it. It doesn't even flinch when cutting an 8d nail.
So its back to basics:
Pushsticks to keep your fingers away, featherboards to reduce kickback,common sense and RESPECT for the machine!
Sadly this is history repeating itself. In WWII German intelligence efforts were grossly ineffective primarily due to the infighting between the SS, Gestapo and the military intelligence agencies. Great Britain's intelligence work on the other hand was extremely effective, for example every single German agent in the UK was either executed or turned. The terrific achievements of British intelligence were largely due to the fact that the intelligence agencies leaders all came from a small ruling class who were closely tied together by bonds of shared educational experiences, family ties and perhaps even homosexual liaisons.
Now the US is big country and our intelligence leaders come from a variety of backgrounds so the British approach can never work here. What we need is strong DOD leadership so that the incessant rivalries between the CIA, FBI, NSA and military intelligence agencies are at least made less harmful I am not optimistic however.
I think the terrific achievements of British Intelligence were more of a "By jove, if we don't do this right, the german horde is going to march into London" rather than the fappish dalliances of the ruling class, who squeezed in intelligence gathering between tea and cricket.

They partner because it costs much more to ship a package than it does a letter. Is that really a surprise? UPS/FedEx get to dip into that letter delivery service a little bit to gain volume benefits and USPS can offshoot packages through the parcel services so they don't have to hire the people to process all those packages.
It's much more cost effective when you can shove millions of letters through a sorting machine than it is to have a person physically read a label and pass it down the right slide. How is that surprising to you?
You have the premise wrong; Fedex Smart Post (http://www.fedex.com/us/smartpost/approach/index.html) and UPS use the USPS for last mile delivery, not via versa.
I've used both services and in my experience, it worked well and saved $$.
By the way, sorting hasn't been done mechanically for quite some time.
If you have any other questions about logistics or shipping, im here until 5.
The healthcare bill is so huge and complex that it is difficult to have any intelligent debate over it. People mostly make simple, sound bite sized remarks. Very few people seem to understand the bill. I don't understand it myself.
That said, the conventional wisdom states that the bill will be extremely expensive, on the scale of Social Security or Medicare. While I agree the current health care system leaves a lot to be desired, I think the timing is terrible. Our financial house is not in order and the economy seems to be in the middle of a long term case of fatigue. In short, I don't think we can afford it. I'm worried it could be the straw, or bale, that breaks the camel's back.
I agree the timing is terrible, but for historical precedence universal health care in the UK was created immediately after WWII, a time that the UK was not in any condition to create a new program.

Is there anything that the government runs that really functions correctly/efficiently?
Post office?
LOL. I never understood the animus against the USPS. I have been shipping between the US and EU for years, and in my experience the price you pay to mail a letter in the US typically costs less, travels further, and arrives faster than any other post service in Europe. Don't even get me started about the post in Italy and Spain. The level of service in Germany and the UK are generally equivalent to the US, but at twice the cost.
