I don't think it's worth to read anything below..Net is the base for Metro and XNA and all the enterprisey MS products (Sharepoint, ASP.Net). Abandoning it would be suicide for MS.
All you need for PC gaming is a $50 video card. The rest of the machine doesn't cost extra because you'd have machine for browsing web and for work anyway.
IMDB already has similar recommendation system: based on what movies you liked, what pages you visited on their domain etc. It just doesn't recommend a general product, but a movie. So I don't see the innovation in Amazon's case, also, generic datamining shouldn't be patentable.
You see it wrong. They're only locking on a single variable, the counter. It doesn't affect all writes that happen in the table (e.g. updates that don't change the ID field).
MySql-s MyIsam is much faster with reads than PostgreSql. I think for the things people use NoSql, MyIsam is perfect. And when you want to move better ACID support, you can effortlessly switch to InnoDB.

Well, and it was free (as in beer), as opposed to Common Lisp implementations at the time.
Often you don't get a static library just dll. Anyway, is there a performance penalty, or what?
And how is that stupid? That's how you avoid the dll hell.
Not only that:
Microsoft is end of life-ing .Net, ...

They have rape simualtors too, e.g. RapeLay.
Isn't this social media thing just a different name for web 2.0?

As far as I know non-GM stuff can't be patented in EU.
The GM part is relevant, because you can only patent GM plants. It's the surrounding patent law that is creating the monopoly.
Maybe you're the moron for assuming the I'm American.
Has anonymous letters in newspapers changed anything?
I hope you did play WoW, just to piss them off.
Good thing they were all killed. The holy land must stay clean.

Your move to prove that Postgres doesn't block on inserts when using sequences (auto increment).
You see it wrong. They're only locking on a single variable, the counter. It doesn't affect all writes that happen in the table (e.g. updates that don't change the ID field).
MySQL uses table-level locking for MyISAM, MEMORY and MERGE tables, page-level locking for BDB tables, and row-level locking for InnoDB tables.

And how is it worse than NoSQL?
Anyway, that's when you move to InnoDB.

Put it on a drone, and now we have Python on a Plane.
Solar flares are very different from EMP, as the change in field is much slower, so it mostly effects transmission lines, not computers.
Just like where there's a lack of freedom of speech, noone is complaining about it.
Error detection is a Layer 2 responsibility. TCP only does sequence numbers and resends lost packets.
What if the child porn site makes its money from ads?
Depends on which country we're speaking about.
