Would there be any use in creating a MySQL module for Apache? Or an integrated PHP/MySQL module? Perhaps for large websites using the common Apache+PHP+MySQL architecture there could be a speed improvement.
Large sites typically have the database and webserver on completely different machines, so throwing one set of processes in the other would be rather counterproductive.
...why they think the federal government is smart enough to micromanage the economy?
And maybe we should ask you why you think that any business will act in a way that preserves competition, when it has the opportunity to crush all competitors and then release shoddy products at inflated prices?
The idea that preventing a company from exercising monopoly power in an anticompetitve way is somehow "picking winners and losers" boggles the mind.
OK, so I've never actually used Python, but based on the comments of Python supporters, it seems like Python would be well-suited to the space MS is trying to occupy: object-oriented, relatively easy to learn, relatively fast, cross-platform (MS does actually mention this as a goal in the Cnet article!). It sounds like MS wants a complied language, so they'd have to come up with a complier, but surely that would be easier than starting over from scratch with a new language. Unless, of course, Microsoft is really interested in another proprietary tool that will lock customers into the cycle of dependance.
yeah, the page produced does seem to indicate that it's running on linux. Odd that apache would be using a.cfm extension, and identifying itself as Win32 - I guess I could see the latter coming from some old config file or something. And url extensions can be anything you want them to be... just because it says.cfm doesn't necessarily mean that cold fusion's running... what I'm getting at, is that this is a confused enough webserver, that I can see how netcraft would return strange results.
I'm perfectly happy with vim+syntax highlighting.:)
Amen. I work with three other java developers - I use vim, a second uses emacs, and the other two use some windows GUI IDE things. Which development environment has caused the most trouble? The IDEs, again and again. F#@kd up classpaths, strange ideas of package structure, and other stuff I don't wanna think about. Long live vim.

They are just begining to plan to ad treads
Excellent! I have lots of traction problems using VB on wet roads, and treads will make a big difference.
I find many WAP sites don't work with the 7110, maybe 20 per cent or so - it's not a well defined/implemented standard at present.
Looking through the logs of the WAP site my company operates (http://www.wagpaw.com), I have noticed that the Nokia 7110 phone is the only phone out of the dozens we've had hits from that doesn't send an x-up-subno header - so if sites are doing tracking and don't have good error handling, the lack of said header could prevent them from working for you.
Don't give Descartes a Solipsist position. He was refuting the Solipsists, and did an effective job of it.
Balderdash. Descartes' path from doubt to certainty only works if you agree with him on a number of contentinus claims (such as, there must exist a benevloent and omnipotent God). Anyone convinced by Descartes couldn't take solipsism very seriously to begin with.
All RMS is saying in the relevant quote is that "piracy" is an extreme term for trading MP3s. Even if you believe that it is wrong to have an MP3 of a song you didn't buy, you may still feel that it's nowhere near as bad as taking merchant's booty and sinking their ships.
Both bikes were Triumph's. The red one was a Daytona, the black a Speed Triple.
Being a bit of a motorcycle geek, I mainly went to see the motorcycle stunts, and was not disappointed. Absolutely unreal, and then to think that they were performed without protective gear - good lord.
At first I was surprised that they could keep the bikes up on grass / sand, but then I noticed that they had full knobbies on for the off-road scenes. Never seen an MX tire on a Triumph before...
Predictably enough, OBSD folks are not so impressed by the complaint that running the latest version of OBSD is unsafe, but upgrading to the latest version of the firewall software is fine. Also sounds like the author is confused about the stability of OBSD's -current release (sounds to me more like Debian's unstable, which I've been running for over a year on 4 machines with nothing but a few temporary dependancy problems...)
You, for example, seem to have high enough karma for your posts to default at 2. However, once in a while you may say something that really doesn't deserve a 2 - so then the "overrated" moderation would be appropriate, even though no one has moderated the comment in question yet.
You're right that AT&T is the only carrier with a flat data rate. Too bad they mandate the clunky Mitsu T250 phones... easily twice the size / weight of a number of the sprint phones.
If you were getting paid to come up with a new slogan for Apple, would you pick one that pisses of every English major who hears it?
If you answered yes, you are a fucking moron.
Are these the same english majors who think we should apply Latin grammer to english?
Really though, you're going way overboard. I know an english major who likes the whole Apple campaign. Mabye it's because she is so smitten with her iMac.
...then I'd suggest another look. Just got my Samsung SCH-3500 a couple of weeks ago, and it does just fine for stock quotes / weather / etc (4 line text display). I'm more than happy to have the smallish screen in exchange for tiny size / little weight. Runs forever on a battery charge, too. Service through Sprint, it's been painless so far.
I say this having previously worked at a company* that did expert system stuff (I was in the web dev. dept. though). There are tons of potential uses for expert systems on the web - we had most of our success with advice-giving type stuff. Our software allowed a "knowledge engineer" to work with some sort of subject-matter expert to distill their expertise into a set of rules - which could be simple if/then, or could have a complicated weighting system. The upshot of this is that a user can surf over to your website and, after answering a few questions, be given information that was specific to his/her concerns, rather than being forced to wade through a heirarchical filesystem full of stuff that may or may not be relevant. I don't know how interesting a research project this is - but economically speaking, if you can throw together a fast, scalable, reliable expert system tool that integrates with databases & webservers - you could do very well.

Right, where as the current standard for wireless data in the US is... oh, wait... still CDPD (or PPP over CDMA / TDMA, which is worse).

UN is a highly hypocritical bureacratic organization mostly interested in the welfare of its own employees.
If true, doesn't speak too well for them considering how many UN types are constantly being kidnapped / killed / etc.

Why are all the people on slashdot so worried about Nvidia opening the drivers when they dont care about the source to the games that they run?
Because crappy hardware drivers can wreak all sorts of havoc on your system, and prevent any client program from running properly.
On the other hand, a crappy game just sits on the shelf & doesn't bother anyone.

Price would be the only reason.
No, actually, performance on commodity hardware would be another reason, as would preference for open source tools, etc.
