    I must say I agree with you. Why the hype around MySQL when Postgres has all those features ready for primetime. I dunno.

    Winblows people needs a fucking bloaty setup wizard, that's why. They are unable to unpack a tar ball and run an .exe file.

    And there some other strange admins guis also. (crap!)

  4. Woho! on MySQL 4 Declared Production-Ready · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I work at at the tech development dept. of a major car company and this is great news. We are finally able to throw MySQL onto production servers and give Oracle the boot for small RAD webapps.

    What I've heard from MySQL officials in person is that MySQL 5.0 is set to be released late Q4 this year. Then stored procedures, sub selects (4.1) and constraints should be ready for primetime, then we talk real heavy enterprise applications. Hope they keep the schedule! =)

    Well, Monty and the rest, Good Job! Keep it up!

    Why is that when companies releases something, a GNU friendly user always get the creeps! This is no exception. (This is released under GPL but anyway!)

    Sure, geeks will go on roadtrips a lot more often but what will happen to the geeks fat/calorie intake? If you get on hour of access for a combomeal you have to eat at least two (maybe alot more) meals. Slashdotting/eating/mailing do take time with sticky fingers on an IPAQ/.

    There was a bit of irony. Still impressed how a handful of people with no interest of money are able to compete with greedy multi-billion companies. The real world is about money I've been told. Or?

    It's just amazing how Miguel and the hordes of coders he has summon to pull this off. I feel confident that whatever Microsoft and the "bad guys" come up with, the Open Source community will launch a counter attack. Shoot to kill. Kudos to Miguel and the rest of the Mono coders.

    Hmm, I think I must bring up C# on my next performance review. =P

    Running it as we speak. RedHat's buggiest release to date. Think twice before making that "upgrade". KDE is crippled. I'm going over to fluxbox after being about a year in kdeland. GNOME? No clue, looks like crap. This bluecurve thing may be a good thing to inviting "ordinary" people to linuxworld. Inviting more people means business and business is good for the defeat of Microsoft. Hang on to your hat! =)

  24. who cares... on True Color in Real Time: The Challenge of Mobile Imaging · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Most geeks don't care about design/looks or anything else poingting in that direction. Geeks want features before fashion. Why should the geek care why the little distorted image looks like a smeared out stamp, the point is that the geek can take the picture, that's it, end of story. I've seen loads of cases when people spend a fortune on their computers and graphicscard. Monitor? The cheapest, biggest.. i.e sampo, samtron or hyundai. Big time degradation (spell) in image quality. On top of that, go buy a no name GeForce card and IT's like watching a TV from the late '80. Put a SONY screen with a Matrox card next to a Sampo with a noname geforce card... Yikes! Oh, I'm not a geek, i'm a perfectionist (spell)
