  1. Re:Goddamn you Hillary on Clinton Takes Ohio, Texas; McCain Seals The Deal · · Score: 1

    And it's just that sort of attitude that allows a disciplined Republican party to wipe the floor with Democrats time and time again--and to trounce all over them in Congress even when they do win. A fractured Democratic party will never accomplish ANYTHING--zero, zilch, nada. All the sideline philosophy in the world won't help you when you never get to play ball. A fractured _government_ will never accomplish anything except capitulation, forget a single political party. Your point?

    You sound like one of those fruits that cries "I like candidate A but he won't win, and I don't want to waste my vote so I'm voting for the cool and trendy candidate B."

    What.

    The.

    Fuck.

    People should vote for who's policies they agree with REGARDLESS of who they think will win. The same holds true for the current scuffle in the democratic party. How dare you bitch and moan about the party being "fractured". If it's registered democrats at the convention [fist]fighting for their beliefs more power to them - this is what America is about, having the right to punch-out your fellow democrat at the convention because you don't agree with their candidate's policies.

    Not true.

    This is in fact an issue we, as advertisers, have been dealing with for a long time. One ad does not sell a product or service, rather it takes multiple avenues to get a message across. If this tool helps up view thread within an ad campaign and at what points the campaign has different levels of impact, it would allow us to tune our ad-spend to a very granular level.

    Things like Adwords is a large toilet that we used to flush money down. Anything that makes our $$$ go further we are all for.

    You are certainly an ass, but aren't so smart. In mathematics instead of using the words length for 1 dimension, area for 2, volume for 3, and having nothing for higher dimensions, the word volume is used in a generic manner for arbitrary dimensions. When you get to high school you'll realize that you're wrong. Also, bookmark wolfram for future use.

    I had a serious response.

    The question did not provide the individual's background which leads me to believe this person is looking for something that will tell him/her how the code works. That coupled with the comments about the UI of some other tools not being good, and there is a clear lack of fundamental knowledge.

    Everyone has stories about "..some of the best programmers I've worked with didn't have..." - those type of replies are not cute or insightful.

    Someone with real CS degree that was focused on theory, language design, algorithm development and analysis and math should make haste with dissecting an application. If they have a "CS" degree that started them learning how Windows Forms work in VB, then well, yeah, expect problems.

    I'm not a troll - obviously if I was I would not be replying. I made a serious comment that apparently made light of some individuals' background. I'm sorry but you that took it personally need to grow up.

  24. Re:Dificult to say... on Sun Buys MySQL · · Score: 1

    I'm not trying to be cute, but here is a google link to mysql issues. I've heard plenty of horror stories from users who can't figure out why their tables become spontaneously corrupt... It happened to a popular forum we host 2 weeks ago.

    Not that my opinion matters, but why do I think Pg adoption will increase? Because years back Sun had the choice to push any DB they wanted - even MySQL. They chose Postgres, and as an architect I can see many reasons why. Their purchase of MySQL means overnight they have a new list of clients including google and facebook. Brilliant sales move but that speaks nothing to the technical merits of MySQL. Don't get me wrong, MySQL has it's place, but it's not in the enterprise IMO. I see it more as an Access replacement for smaller/cobbled together apps, not to say it hasn't been hacked to run large apps, but Pg doesn't need hacking by a google, who was nice enough to contribute their hacks back to the MySQL project.

    Before you ask why they didn't buy Pg I'll tell you - there is no company to buy.

    PostgreSQL adoption: why? I think PgSQL is a better database.

    -It's sql92 compliant and always has been - not so of mysql
    -Pg has had little things like transaction support and subselects forever.... mysql? ha!
    -Pg is more stable - by far.

    The list really should end there.
