The defult is not unspecified it depends on the column type. If, for example, you have a NOT NULL currency column (maybe because your legacy app expects to have a value returned whenever it gets its currency values from the db) then the defult is 0.00 but certainly not "" or NOT NULL as it would crash your app...
Some of the "gotchas" mentioned in your link actually make sense:
If no DEFAULT value is specified for a column, MySQL automatically assigns one, as follows. If the column may take NULL as a value, the default value is NULL. If the column is declared as NOT NULL, the default value depends on the column type: (...)
Which is to say that a string column that accepts NULL can have (wait for it...) null string ""... where's the gotcha in that?
The thing about timestap columns makes perfect sense... the insert into select thing (where you should just define temp tables...
Also please remember that MySQL tries to be a fast and reliable db server and i guess some of those gotchas are in fact side-effects of that

Don't confuse play with pay... my wife will play just about any videogame (Zelda, SoulCalibur, GTA, Command & Conquer) if it is indeed FUN...
But, to date she has never bought a game for herself; sure she has bought lots for me that she does play... but never one for herself...
That said I know teenaged girls who do buy games but not on the amount I see teenage boys do... one other thing, I never see women checking the videogame aisles at Blockbuster or Video Ave...
The point is if they don't buy/pay/spend then they don't matter as much to the industry...
If Connectix programmers are so good, maybe Apple should hire them to do an MacOS X emulator for x86 machines...
Great software on cheap hardware anyone?

Gives you salaries by state, including Puerto RIco (where I live) on a variety of tech and non-tech job. Although it doesn't feature international salaries (that I remember); it should give you a good idea of what you may ask for.
Open the cart and get the battery out, if the contacts are not rusted or the battery has not leaked then go with the battery to a clock shop and ask for a battery with the same dimensions; buy it then plug it in and seal the cart again (clean it up while you are at it)... it should save your games just fine... repeat when it does not.
man that was a hell of a long line

does it seem strange to any of you just how indestructable those NES
controllers were? I mean, they were built like brick shit houses.
... And does anyone remember the NES MAX 'twas the first joypad I played with that had autofire buttons! And the pad itself, that had a wierd design, worked so flawlessly! I wonder why the design was never copied, was it patentized? No use now with analog controllers anyway.
I still got one of those tucked away in a corner along with dozens of carts, joypads and lightguns...
Of course what this really means is that I am older than I thought I could be when I played on the NES. Come to think of it, when my children start up Virtual Pac-Man 2010 and Super Mario Universe on the virtual reality console of the future I will be able to tell them I was there when it all started. That almost makes up for not being born on time to watch Star Wars in theathers way back in the 70's.

As more facts are known, there is less need for mysticism... and that includes religion...
Technology and the communications channels that it opens becomes a natural barrier to mysticism. Sure, there are protestant channels and cults spread through the Internet; but the mayority of the information passing through caters either to our desires as humans or to our need to know.
That need to know; it is why we made up religion in the first place; it filled a void that's has steadily become smaller for some.
Every advancement made in science and technology is an afront to the religious establishment and they would as soon stop all research and developement. Of course, as a geek/scientist/nerd; who would be willing to be part of an establishment that goes against your desire to know? to advance technology?

Isn't that $1470? You could buy a PS2 and all the games (never mind all of them not being excellent) for that kind of money...

Well don't you get a PC at work?... Start using it!
