More than 1.1 billion CDs are thrown out worldwide each year. For no reason.
Damn! that many CDs thrown out for no reason how many are thrown out for a good reason like they have an install for a crappy ISP and aren't reusable for writing data?
Not every solution is for every problem. This isn't for huge data warehousing systems. My impression is that this is for smaller databases where there is a lot of interactions with fewer objects.
I have also seen object databases used as the data entry point for huge projects, where the database is then periodicaly dumped into a large relational database for warehousing and reports.
No more than any other database. Perhapse you missed the part where they said they would serialize the commands that change the objects. In this context they are talking about saving the commands.
I think this "all or nothing" argument is a cop out, a "reductio ad absurdum" excuse for people who can't or won't consider the potential ramifications of their actions in the world at large
I agree it is. It was posted to make fun of the all or nothing aspect of other posts. I think people should carefully consider how they affect the world at large. I just don't think that a lot of the chatter about open source helping the war effort is meaniful. My point being that open source software is useful so DUH! It can and will be used for something you don't approve of.
Furthermore, this comment (and others) don't seem to be based on the content of the articles
Once again you are correct. I did read the article, but my post was about the trend in other posts not the article. It was meta-discussion of the article so to speak.
Maybe the prospect of a major war in the Middle East makes you *yawn* but I'm glad to see that not everyone shares this view
No, I am not in favor of this war nor do I think it is the source of my *yawn*. The blathering of people who want free software to not be free for things they don't agree with was my *yawn*
I mean, don't the police, in theory, launch attacks on those who are breaking laws? Could this be considered akin to a drug raid etc?
This is not the same. For one the police are making the attack, not the 'victim'. Two this requires a court order or imediate need as decided by a police officer, which will later be reviewed by a judge.
I feel the best solution to the spam problem is a spam deposit. Here's how it would work ISP's would implement a trusted email service that in order to send mail to a user of the service you would have to be on their trusted list or be willing to post a spam deposit ($.50). The user reads the mail then classifies it as spam or not spam. If it is spam the deposit goes to the ISP if it is not, the deposit is returned. There are quite a few details of implementation I could go into but I am at work so that's just the jist.
It's greed, I think more than anything, that's limiting it's acceptance. Sites don't want to charge a reasonable fee and people think their ISP bill is an all access pass to the Internet. The idea of actually paying for products they use and paying more than the product was produced for is suddenly lost when they go online. Like you wanting consulting on your idea from the slashdot comunity for free?
A sphere has the most volume for area thing, so you use less of a case for more computer space.
I think that would be a problem, less surface area = less heat disipation.
Who cut the normal cut then? Didn't the director have any say in the matter?
Actually the studio gets to decide what is released, and other editors get at the film after the director. He has input as to what is released, but the studio makes the final call. Often much of the directors vision is cut for time or to get a rating. So there really is a directos cut which is his vision of the film and a studio cut which is much more politically created.
Why? We are exposed to harmful bacteria all the time, almost all of us have e.coli in our intestines. That is why we wash our hands after going to the bathroom. Or after hadeling raw hamburger or chicken. Just make sure people know that they will get a tummy ache if they eat the stuff.
...as many as it takes to convince people to ditch Office.
More office suites may cause uncertianty and people may continue to use the one they know about instead of investigating a whole suite of suites.
i'm no sure many coustomers will want to 'wait for the next flight' to get their buisness done
I think that would be quicker than waiting for a repair crew when a car hits one of the landline boxes the towers are hooked up to.
If used well the patent could be a good thing, it could prevent any closed source implementations of the technology. Since it is released under the GPL they can't really prevent anyone from using or distributing it openly.
Fact of the matter is, half the environmental "data" that is produced by the federal gov't comes from private organizations who are already hell-bent on saving every last inch of nature at whatever expense is necessary (fraudulent/deceiptful data). It's bullshit.
Everyone knows 60% of all statistics are just made up - Homer J Simpson.
Actually work with a guy who's car cd player scratched the shit out of his cd's therefore making them unplayable, had he had a backup he wouldn't have had to re-buy them.
Last I checked there's not a huge abundancy of high-end digital animation production software floating around for Linux There has to be some somewhere because Shrek was done on Linux.

An important thing to remember is that one big generator powered by hydrocarbons is much more efficiend than thousands of little ones (cars).

Yes, it is somewhat like journalized file systems. Just changing all the state changes in the order they occur.

I don't want to write open source code becasue somebody may use it for evil.
I won't want to work for a corporation because they may exploit someone.
I don't want to sell hammers because someone could hit someone else with it.
Let's face it. If you are doing anything at all productive in society somebody can use that to their benifit in a way that you may not agree with.

Cars? I missed that, can you tell me more specifically what part of the movie, or better yet link to a site with screen shots?

No entry found for transparancy
It's there you just can't see it because it is transparent!

Of course it will slip even more when peekabooty gets finished and individual sites can't be blocked from a savay user.
I could have sworn it was 47% of statistics that were made up
Could have been, I just made the statistic up anyway.

But didn't you want to know how Spider-Man effects the globalist wired society and unseatd the digrati by smashing the digital divide?
For CD to CD copy you'd be hard pressed to beat the speed you could get with SCSI. The multiple IO at the same time makes that rock.
