2) If you're making a lot of data changes and have a crash or power outage, I'd imagine that it can take a while to replay the log to get things back to the most recent point in time (you can have the same problem with Oracle, but your checkpoints would be a lot closer together than "once a day")
Why can't you have the prevalence checkpoints closer together than once a day? I have and it works just fine.
3) There are millions of people that already know SQL and can write a decent query with it. How does this help them? Never underestimate the power of SQL.
But the programmer already knows how to program in Java/C++/OOwhatever. So she does not need to learn Yet Another SQL Flavor. I know I don't.
I've got a credit/ATM card, driver's license, library card, organ donor card, student card, video rental card and a bonus card to the grocery store.
I don't want to carry yet another card.
But I don't want to carry coins either. And I don't want this information to be bundled to my credit card either and I don't want to pay every small item with credit card either.
Solution: use the other end of the card for the credit/ATM card chip and the other end for the cash card chip. After that deploying the cards comes automatically. And after they are deployed people have a chance to use them.
The reason why they never make smaller ad standards is that the pixels on the average monitor get smaller and smaller every year. They need to keep up with the technology. I remember that a couple of years ago I surfed with a 600 pixel wide browser on an 800x600 pixel Screen. Now my browser seems to be 924 pixels wide and screen resolution is at 1280x1024.
If you use copyrighted materials for public performance for benefit of the business, you have to pay extra.
But you see the cars do not carry any kind of sign about whether the driver plays music or not while driving. When you hail a taxi you can't choose one that plays music. Therefore saying playing music in a taxi benefits the taxi driver's business is unreasonable.
When will these idiots learn that attempts to suppress software only result in wider distribution. I hadn't heard of Peng until today: now I'm preserving a copy.
FYI: They're not trying to supress the software, only the domain name.
Did you read the article? There is no standard course or weather to sail so there really is no sense in comparing the race times. What you can do is to take a look at the results of the IACC World Championship races and study the years the boats were built and how it reflects to their finishing position.
There have been planks with wheels under them forever but that does not yet constitute for a skateboard. Skateboard is (or at least when invented it was) a plank with a roller skate nailed underneath it. The claim for the invention presented ihere is only a sign of the times: skateboarding has again gained popularity and now everyone wants to jump the bandwagon.

It seems necessary to inform those who have not seen the real world for a few years that "photograph" and "screenshot" actually are not synonyms.
You completely missed the whole point of the rig. It is not efficiency but it's ability to automatically adjust to the wind conditions.
The reason why sails are not used in commercial watercraft is the fact that handling sails requires much more men than handling a huge diesel engine does.
One of their patent applications suggests that they are attacking this exact problem.
I'd be really worried about burning out if I had
to constantly code with at least one person
looking over my shoulder. Personally, I like to
code alone. I couldn't last too long with
somebody else nagging/checking my work.
You got it all wrong. Pair programming is not
about someone watching over your shoulder or
nagging about your mistakes. It's co-operation.
The fellow does not watch over your shoulder. He
sits next to you and his purpose is not to watch
out for the bugs you make (although he does it
automatically) but to give his thoughts about the
design and share his knowledge. Also the fact that
someone tells you immediately that you made a bug
(because you assumed that the function/method
never returns null) is very rewarding when you
consider the amount of work you have to do to find
the bug later.
Everyone I know who have tried pair programming
say that two mediocre programmers programming in
pair always produce better code than one good
programmer coding alone.

Your 8th point only shows that he has done his mandatory military service.

Argh! Robots run on tarmac!
Programs run on Linux.
50 computers require 50 Windows licenses. Smart move.
But when will Sun do the same with their technology?
I will thell them that if MobiliX loses it's domain or trademark my children will never read Asterix & Obelix.
And I do have children. Thank you for asking.
Maybe if I explain this to the ones that did not get it.
- Terrorist organization attacks USA from Afghanistan.
- Afghanistan refuses to destroy the terrorist organization.
- USA bombs terrorists in Afghanistan.
Do you get it now?
Let's think about this for a while.
How does this scenario resemble the situation in Afghanistan?
I guess that means all Apple users have tech support number on speed dial then...

What if the singularity really is the lifeboat of a higher race to save the universe from the human race?
I bet you never thought about that.
10% of $400M is 40M.

So, every program expands until it can send e-mail.
I guess this now applies to hardware as well.
Given the fact that both da Vinci and Mr Dryden were inspiredby bats and birds I don't find the similarities surprising at all.

You are confusing rowing dinghies with sailing ones. Sailing dinghies have keels.
