and Why not the most common language of the region (i.e. Chinese) is included as an option. I am aware that there are many different dialects but Mandarin could possibly being used by a very large number of Asian (hundreds of millions or even near to a billion?).
Have you ever used refactoring capabilities in Eclipse? That's a basic thing I need from a programming IDE but you wouldn't find that in VStudio without plugins. Eclipse (and even NetBeans) have superior editors in my opinion. Eclipse rules for Java development and it is quite decent for C++.
I like the fact that VStudio is faster, more solid and integrated but I had a more enjoyable experience with Eclipse. I miss Eclipse now that I am forced to use VStudio for a big C++ software (because it is the choice of the team) .
The database size is near 0.7 TB, tables are spread into several files, we use joins very heavily (sometimes with up to 7-8 tables), we use stored procedures sometimes, some pages have more than 10-15 queries, we have 150+ million page views per month, the website has public pages and millions of pages (in different modules: groups, profiles, jobs, classifieds, message box, online shops, Q&A, website wide search, ledger based credit accounting for specific activities,... ) receive new users from search results.
I have used several databases (Oracle, MS-SQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL) and in my opinion MySQL does a good job for non-business critical applications.
For business applications (Core Banking) we were forced to use MS-SQL but it could not handle the job (billions of records) so we convinced the bank to back off and use Oracle. I would never go with either MySQL or PostgreSQL for that application (not even MS-SQL). They basically don't have the necessary tools and capabilities (hot backup, two way transactions, SAN clustering,...) for the purpose. But for non-critical applications MySQL is just fine.
I have used a single instance of MySQL (on a dual quad server) for a 1.5 million members social network. The concurrent users sometimes reach around 8000 and the database still handles the job very well. Before migrating to this server we had 4 separate dual core servers (one master and 3 slaves).
From my experience MySQL (as explained above), it is both lightweight and scalable (replication and clustering distributed models and management tools, multi-core capabilities etc.).
I would definitely prefer PostgreSQL if it could handle the same load on the same hardware. Based on our tests, on the same hardware it could handle considerably lower number of users. We used professional tuning consultation for both scenarios.
I have used phpgadmin but it does not cover all of the functionality of PostgreSQL and it has slower development pace. The UI is also outdated and less appealing.
Michael Widenius has benefited from gathering millions of developers around his product and letting them down.
He cannot sell source code of MariaDB this time, but he still can sell the brand name and the community which has trusted him again to earn another fortune. Fool me once, full me twice...
Most people and websites do not agree with you. Ask facebook , wikipedia and thousands of others (if not millions).
SQLite is not scalable. MySQL is lightweight and scalable.
PostgreSQL has not been successful in penetrating cheap shared hosting providers. There is no web based tool comparable to phpMyAdmin and there are more reasons why PostgreSQL has not been successful despite its technical advantages.
I guess I count as a nerdy person with 20 years of experience in software and networks (started as a kid with Punch cards, Fortran IV, VIC-20 and ZX-80) and a PhD in computer science and an additional degree in electronics engineering.
But it is not attractive and it feels uncomfortable and awful to me. Sorry if I disappointed you.
That's because no camera is installed inside of the homes! If people agree to install cameras inside the homes and toilets and bedrooms and... we finally can be safe...!
In the news: "MKO opens office near White House for first time in 11 years"
FYI, MKO is the most important terrorist group in Iran which has killed almost 12000 Iranians (politician, engineer, doctor, scientist, housewife, shopkeeper,...) and has been in the terrorist organizations list in the US for at least a decade.
They were a cult like organization with a camp in Iraq (as you may know) and they fought their own country under Saddam's flag!!! Now the terrorist organization is allowed to open an office and come to the US.
What do you think is the outcome of bringing a terrorist organization to the US? No, really. What would a terrorist organization bring to the US?
If you're looking for a language that can produce extremely efficient and secure code when written by experts (and this includes knowing which features of the language to use, and which to run screaming from), C++ will do very well.
The thing is that even Java would do fine under those circumstances. I am not talking about browser plugins though.
Coming from someone which has developed in both languages decades.
2- Sun and Oracle have invested a lot of money on JavaFX which (in browser environment) is the equivalent of Flash and Silverlight. It uses Applets to run. It is much cleaner and advanced than Flash and it may have a good future.
You already use Java but you don't know. Lots of those websites you visit use Java at the server side to process your requests (if we forget usage of Java on mobile phones).
Java is almost the default language in financial, insurance and healthcare applications.

Like the developers working on browsers and operating systems? Extremely efficient and secure?
Even if it is a free service, it is an undertaking. They cannot just leave customers (free or paid) to themselves without resolving problems that arise from the service.
The point you mentioned is one of the textbook problems of internet marketing. All those shops are available within a click. You can see and compare the prices and you will eventually buy that same product from the most competitive (assuming that all of them are credible).
That's the exact thing I do. I go to physical shops just to see and test the product and then buy it online for at least 10-20% cheaper price.
The most attractive offering of Amazon is in fact its reviews and bigger inventory of books. But I have stopped buying physical books since a few months ago anyway. They are heavy, I am living in another country and I cannot carry back 200kg of books.
I used Endnote because of a few cool capabilities.
- You would copy/paste text-citation mix to a new document (from several previous papers/thesis of yours) and it would order the citation numbers (as in IEEE and numbered format) and produce a final reference list. - You could have multiple types of documents (Journal, Conference paper etc.) - The numbers were always in the order of usage, - The formats could be changed and the whole document would be updated immediately. - The database could be saved on a cloud storage (and be available on all PCs) - You could download Endnote files on IEEE, Elsevier (scopus, sciencedirect) and other websites.
How does Zotero fare in the features I mentioned? I used it a few years ago but it lacked integration with MS Word, so I just gave up on it.

So the charger will be a lot bigger.
Not necessarily. If the charger uses higher voltages than 12V then the size and the current do not need to be that large.

As I described in another post here, I would never use MySQL or even PostgreSQL for critical applications (Finance, healthcare, insurance etc.)
Neither of those have the necessary tools and capabilities for such applications.
As for the scalability, MySQL has clustering and replication. Does SQLite have them?

So you mean they don't provide paid services?
Even if it is a free service, it is an undertaking. They cannot just leave customers (free or paid) to themselves without resolving problems that arise from the service.
Oh boy....
Have you heard about JEE?
Besides could you give us your reasons why C++ would be a better choice?
Is there ANY type of reasoning or reason in that statement?
This.

The least he can sell is the brand name MariaDB and the open source operation (i.e. support etc.).
