I recall reading about the design for this a while back. The claim is that it's a little less likely to cause cancer than 5 minutes outdoors. They were talking about using it in prisons to help catch smugglers. One of the arguments against it was that there is a pretty strong constitutional argument that forcing everyone to let you see them naked, and getting to keep a copy of their x-ray in your database, is a pretty major invasion of privacy. -Lkb
"A potlatch is the behavoural equivalent of the peacock's tail: its completely useless to all concerned..." OSS is not completely useless, the result is often very useful or even critical to the end user. I also disagree that one can't trade respect in the OSS community for $$. How hard is it for RMS or Linus to find a job if they want one? You don't have to charge for your software to make money from it.
couldn't register 'cause the m$ SQL server was full. great PR move guys. -Lkb
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Can't allocate space for object 'microsoft_registration' in database 'CreateTech' because the 'default' segment is full. If you ran out of space in Syslogs, dump the transaction log. Otherwise, use ALTER DATABASE or sp_extendsegment to increase the size of the segment.

It took a lot of tries, but i finally got through. Seems odd to attack the open-Source Movement as though it were a company. If you aren't happy with having more control of your system, or really want the ability to sue someone when it goes down, buy M$ products. Just don't complain when it isn't expandable in areas you need. -Lkb-
