Raisers Edge builds the kind of queries that will have skilled SQL DBAs scratching their heads and saying things like, "I never realized you could do that with SQL."
As soon as you throw one of the previously mentioned uber queries on it, the poor thing will grind to a halt. The other day we did a 50,000 constituent export on a dual, quad-core Xeon box and it took two and a half hours to finish.
Sir, I think it is possible that the head-scratching from the skilled DBAs is less "how" and more "why." Not that all queries should run quickly, but if it takes 2.5 hours to select 50,000 rows I suspect that there may be a lack of optimization in how it builds those queries. Or possibly in how it builds its indices. Or something.
Both distribution and creating copies fall under infringement. That would be Title 17 section 106 of US law, and that's the same across the globe. Downloading is creating a copy. Uploading and downloading are essentially equivalent under copyright law.
Not in Canada; it's de facto legal to download mp3s in Canada due to a CD tariff the CRIA pushed for some years back. It's illegal to provide, but not to copy. Of course, Our asshat Heritage Minister and Prime Minister have decided to push a draconian DMCA-style bill to the house next month, so maybe that freedom won't last long.
Specifically, we call it that because of the retreat/collapse of Roman civilization- technology, literature, art, demographic decline- and the rise of barbarian cultures. It had nothing to do with the spread of the church, which had been accomplished in the century or two previous to the fall of Rome in the 5th century.
"The" quote of the crusaders was "Deus vult," "God wills it." The quote you're referring to started in the Albigensian Crusade, about 100 years into the crusading period.
Christianity is no more or less violent than any other religion.
Oh, well, that explains recent art like "Piss Pope" and "Chocolate Jesus." And abortion clinics. And Dawkins having a death sentence pronounced on him by the Archbishop of Canterbury. People are constantly terrified that some Christian might explode them if they say bad things. Good thing you cleared that up.
I think maybe you meant to say that Christianity has been as violent as any other religion, in which case, sure. But for people alive today, it seems much less violent than some other options. This is like whining that Germany is "no more or less racist than any other nation" when talking about Rwanda because, you know, the Germans had a period of being complete dicks. Sure, past actions impact the present, but that doesn't mean there's a moral equivalence in the current situation.
"We believe the group of customers that use this service is small enough to not be able to start a revolt, and large enough that we'll see some profit from charging extra. We would do this to the 'using Google' service if we thought we could get away with it. Please ignore how badly this conflicts with our claims that Net Neutrality would destroy the internet, and that we're a self-policing market who wouldn't dare charge people more for certain types or destinations of traffic."
2 and 4: studios constantly post net losses from films. They do this by spreading the profit to other companies, owned by the same people. They do this in order to screw people whose contracts guarantee a perfect of net profits; the creators of the IP they're exploiting and then aggressively defending.

B5, despite the series pulling in >$1B, is supposed to be $80M in debt, screwing Stracynski out of a lot of money.
Studios are not losing money. They are swimming in it. Their hilarious accounting allows them to claim that they're losing money, and being able to blame pirates (and so turn the Government of Canada into their bag man) is just gravy.
You are in a maze of twisty art-deco passages, all alike.

ADAM injected.
Reports of civilians being provided arms to resist occupation.
Yep, the Kokumin Giyu Sentotai. 28,000,000 according to the official numbers. Of course, that was on paper, and they were armed with spears and swords as well as rifles, so their combat effectiveness was maybe not so hot. On the other hand, a 28M-strong suicide-prone guerrilla force? Not something I'd be eager to throw troops at- though my name's not MacArthur. Keep in mind the Allies started shooting surrendering Japanese prisoners and burning out their bunkers with flamethrowers because the Japanese had a pesky habit of sneaking a grenade and pulling it once the Americans came over to accept the surrender. The Allies, however you feel about them dropping nukes, had had a thorough practical education about the chances of taking anyone alive.
Boy, good thing we've got all those degree-holding guys to whom we've entrusted the advance of human enterprise. Guys like Richard Branson, Bram Cohen, David Karp, Dustin Moskovitz, Jake Nickell and Jeffrey Kalmikoff, Kevin Rose, Shawn Fanning, Woz, and Tom Anderson.
Oh wait.
Also, not that it matters (because it really doesn't), but I'm working on both my Master's and a second undergrad- neither in climate modeling, and neither from particularly prestigious schools. Either way, the complaint (echoed by several folks) that my use of the term "computer expert" instead of "elite degree holder, you peon" explodes my whole metaphor isn't really convincing, sorry. Oh, and yes, I'm going to demand he explain it to me. My scant years of professional work have driven home quite deeply the lesson that degrees and competency do not have a 1:1 relationship. If my HVAC-installing friend can spot the flaw in my explanation of a new feature, his not being an expert- or at all educated in the field- doesn't make him wrong. It makes him invaluably right.
Boy, do I ever wish "No no, I'm a computer expert, just do what I say, I don't have time to explain it" worked on my boss.:T Alas, he requires explanations before be blows $80K on server upgrades so that I can host torrent^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H improve response on our webserver.
Religions perceive sex as a necessary evil, to be used for procreation only.
Which religions? Judaism and Christianity both use Song of Songs as a source, and it's pretty blatantly erotic. Even taking it purely as allegory, one can't escape that the author had a positive view of sex.
Ditto-ish. I grew up on a beef ranch, so I never felt emasculated, but martial arts is one of the greatest things for kids, I think. Self-control, self-confidence, self-defense, and a socially acceptable outlet for the desire to enter direct physical contests.
When I was in HS (oh so long ago), I got hassled, including waking up one night with a lighter and an aerosol can going off over my head. It lasted until the day I snapped and tried to pound one of my tormentors into the ground. He ran away, I got punished by school administration. Worth it, though; I stopped getting hassled. I have rarely used violence to solve my problems, but every time I have, it's worked really, really well.

Sir;
Thank you for building the future. It looks neat.
Respectfully yours,
The present.

As for the superstitions of the desert, it would be nice if their followers had but one throat and my hands were on it.
Because they're all so violent, right?
Like Canada.
