If you have no data points for a customer, no space is used. If you have 500, 500 records are stored. Simple as that. It is called a One-to-Many relationship. Hierarchal databases ONLY can do One-to-Many relationships. Flat File databases cannot do relationships at all... Flat databases DO have the problem you mentioned. Relational databases do not. Perhaps you have not looked at relational databases since 25 years ago?

This kind of relation is basic functionality in relational databases. This ain't no kludge.
Hierarchal databases have so many limitations. Even simple things, like employee lists, suffer under the restrictions of a hierarchal database. Employees that work in multiple departments, or have multiple supervisors. Employees with multiple spouses (think International). Projects with three leads. Employees working on multiple projects.
Relational databases were created for a reason. Abandoning all those improvements just to fit more cleanly into the XML hierarchal model is ludicrous to me.
devnullkac did NOT recommend that we discard relational databases! Exactly the opposite, he claimed that we should be looking for efficient ways to represent relational information in XML, not ways to abandon relational databases in favor of hierarchal ones.
Remember that XML is not the 'end use' for data. XML is a way to get data from place to place... from one database to another, one OS to another, one country to another. People don't 'use' XML any more than they 'use' TCP... it's a way to get data from one place to another.
So the question should not be 'How do we efficiently represent XML in our databases?' The question should be 'How do I efficiently represent my database in XML?'
An article on FiringSquad goes in depth as to exactly what the Radeon drivers had to sacrifice to gain those speed increases.
Pages three and four on the site detail the quality sacrifices the Radeon drivers make when running Quake3 in order to increase the benchmark scores. They also note how the sacrifices were finely tweaked to keep visual quality as high as possible on eye catching detail areas, while dropping it everywhere else.
The end result are drivers that are literally forcing low-quality optimizations in Quake3 no matter what choices the user makes. Yes it runs faster, but that's because the drivers are not obeying the choices of the user. There is no excuse for this kind of trickery.
Glad I didn't need to spend a mod point to get +1 Insightful on this one. People want something for nothing... and simultaneously call the networks stupid for having their business model work the way it does. And somehow, it is still the Network's fault.
While I don't think the Networks should be suing Replay, if I worked there I can't say I would be blaming them. The same people bitching at the networks now would SCREAM if they switched to more blatant in-content advertising. Yet the Networks don't really have a choice... advertising is how they make money, and if fewer people watch ads, they will get less money. So either they move the ads into the content so it cannot be skipped, or they prevent ads from being skipped.
Either way, the Networks are screwed... and so are we.
Actually, they Europeans did NOT. In fact, historically many areas of Europe (the one I know of personally is Russia, but I believe this extends to other areas of Europe as well) have a very strong 'follow the leader' mentality. They have no particular desire or will to lead or go against the lead of others.
This creates a situation in which a vocal corrupt minority can control a silent majority of sheep. Not all Europeans are sheep, but the acceptance of authority attitude is FAR more prevalent over there than it is over here.
If people risk their jobs, credit records, government surveillance, and being thrown in jail for being "suspected terrorists", "the public" will quickly become quiet.

Computers require something on the order of 200-400 Watts of power... that is a pretty hefty power load to put on an external transformer.

Not really... We already have a long-standing precedent for this type of electronic distribution: The software demo. If you like what you see, go out and buy the DVD of the movie.
Not the same thing. Most software demos are FREE. You try the product for a limited time, and then may buy it if it suits you. In addition, applications are something that provide a repeatable service or utility.
These movies will cost money to download, and they will be something you will only get to see a couple times before it disables itself from being viewed again.
You will be placing a burden on your own resources (bandwidth) to get the movie, it will not be equal to VHS quality, and it will only be viable for twenty-four hours after you start watching it... sounds stupid to me. Very stupid. I think this'll crash faster than DIVX, assuming they're stupid enough to even push it out the door.
A) The testing procedures ruled out normal electromagnetic effects. The weights were suspended up to 150 feet away with multiple layers of various materials between the electromagnetic field and the weight.
B) The repulsive force was equivalent at all ranges, implying a force that does not follow normal inverse square laws.
C) The objects were made of a variety of non conducting, non magnetic materials that all reacted in a similar manner.

The automobile industry already overpays its workers a hefty margin in relation to the diffculty and skill required for the job. In any other market, an equally skilled worker would generally make 25-50% less than an automobile worker.
This situation has led to the greatly rising cost of automobiles in the last 30 years, and the loss of sales to foreign cars, despite the fact that the foreign cars have overseas shipping costs and high tariffs.

It wouldn't work. With a completely random (normal) data set, the address of any particular string of numbers is of equal length to... the particular string of numbers! Thus, the average distance into pi of a four digit number... is a four digit number. I don't really care to do the exact math, but the end result is that the number of bits you wish to find and encode the address of would, on average, require an address with an equal number of bits.

Because the entire point of designing lossy audio compression is to find out what SUBJECTIVE audio information is difficult to notice when it's gone, and what audio is SUBJECTIVELY more important.
You can have two formats that have exactly the same % difference from the original audio, but one will have audible hiss, ringing artifacts, and clicks while the other will be much clearer to the human listener. As far as a measuring device is concerned the compression is identical for both, but for all practical purposes one of the algorithms far superior.

First, a lot of the disagreement in the case of the 'Illustrator' trademark was people who think generic words should not be possible to trademark. Illustrator is a word, not a proper name. However, MySQL is both descriptive and unique... there is no word 'MySQL' in the English language. Thus, it is a candidate for strong trademarking.
Second, the KIllustrator folks DID change the name. They changed it from a generic english word into a descriptive name... the leading K indicating its association with the KDE project, and Illustrator letting you know it is a graphics program. While there is a strong association with Adobe Illustrator (it is quite likely to believe that KIllustrator is a deliberate copy of Adobe Illustrator, even though it is actually more like Photoshop), a person is very unlikely to actually think KIllustrator is actually the Adobe product, thus diluting the brand name. In the MySQL case, it would be VERY easy for someone not familiar with MySQL to believe that MySQL.org is the authoritative MySQL site. There is no name change at.
These two points are what differentiate this case from the KIllstrator case, and cause this one to be a clear-cut case of trademark dilution, and the other a much more ambiguous case that could be argued either way.

Anytime you have multiple websites owned by the same company, then you immediately have a condition where that information is assumed to be shared between sites. This is a backend issue unrelated to how browsers or privacy policies work.
I'm mildly amused that the poster seems to regard this as some kind of 'sneaky trick' by microsoft. As if it is 'wrong' to maintain a single login location, as if you 'should' create a separate login for every single website. I've been working on database driven websites for nearly 5 years now, and I can't recall a single technical reason why I'd want to make multiple points of entry to the same database. The only reasons that are valid are design issues... specifically, did we want to have the customer see that login page A is actually affiliated with website B. Microsoft, being such a public brand, has no need to hide the association.
The way I look at it, by having a single login location Microsoft is actually being open and honest. They COULD have multiple points of entry into the login database, one for each site, and thus hide the fact that they are pooling user information between domain names. With a single point of entry, they are revealing their practice of data sharing... something that would be obvious to anyone with technical understanding of database driven sites.
People get all up in arms about privacy with cookies, logins, and user information pages... completely forgetting that sites owned by the same company don't have to use ANY of that to create a profile of your activity on their multiple sites. People seem to have this idea that differing domain names create a magical 'wall' between sites, preventing anything from leaking from one domain to another. Anything they see as breaking that wall is somehow evil.
In all practicality, if Microsoft really wanted to, they could make all their sites as subdomains of microsoft.com... msn.microsoft.com, passport.microsoft.com, msnbc.microsoft.com, etc. Then, the actuality of data sharing would be more concrete for the less technically inclined.

I work at a small ISP, and our entire billing application was created In-House. I created a 35 table relational monstrosity and all the GUI to go with it. There's still a few tasks that require direct table hacking (like adding completely new services and applications to the database), but overall I get a lotta compliments on it when I show it off.
It's very vertical though... it works the way WE work, and it has many things that would not work with a generic business... for example, it's integrated directly with our Radius database, and has several hacked scripts to keep the accounts updated and synchronized when modifications are made in accounting.
I'm personally a proponent of in house billing systems... for small businesses. For medium sized businesses I'd go with a prepackaged solution because it probably has a ton more thought with regards to all the various tax rules, interstate commerce, etc (which we don't need to worry about), and of course large businesses are almost always custom.
