  5. GO MONTY! on 62% of Sun's Stockholders Vote For Oracle Deal · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Monty is the man who will keep MySQL alive regardless of Oracle. Oracle can funble and bumble it all they want. In fact, you can expect MySQL development to slow to a crawl over the next 3 years as Oracles tries to figure out what to do and to integrate it. In the meantime, Monty AB is going to become the new defacto standard for MySQL replacing Oracles version in the open source community. Distros will start picking up Monty AB and as a result, more installs of Monty AB will be used than that Oracles MySQL in 5 years do to licensing issues or lack of development.

    I find only three reasons to ever correct spelling: One is if you are losing an argument and can't find anything else to demean the person with, two is because you have an obsessive compulsive bent toward the english language and you can't control yourself anymore that someone with teurrettes can and third is if the person being demeaned is DELIBERATELY mispelling or mispeaking ("I axed you a question","u 6E pwn39")

  8. Bash monitoring on What Would You Want In a Large-Scale Monitoring System? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I built a smal program to updating all bash profiles with timestamps, compare changes every few ticks and save changes to a database where the users were given unique ID and it would associated a parent child relationship when users su/sudo to show heightened privileges. Very useful as sys admins are known to wipe their bash historys and this kept a centralized history with relationships.

    I second that emoticon. Alot of us learned how you learned; by just picking up books and putting it to practice. But we also went the extra mile by learning about coding practices, techniques, development practices, etc. The only way you learn about Eclipse is to start using it. The only way you learn about MySQL is to start using it. The only way you learn about MVC is to start using it. You really have to dive in and just keep your head above water.Sure you may get frustrated but if you were anything but a developer, you wouldn't have gotten this far in the first place.

    Anyone can sit in a classroom and be taught but a true developer goes out of their way and teaches themselves.

    You are confusing the purpose of the database. The database is used to store and retrieve data, not process it. Heavy processing leads to a slower database and slower queries. Heavy processing SHOULD be done by the application.

    Set SOMETHING as a standard and wait for the dust to settle LATER to change things. Mozilla and Google are right to support something that is open first; plugins can support more but by default, only open standards should be a standard otherwise you are supporting a vendor.

    shows how little you know. Talking out of your ass I see. But hey, who am I to correct someone who THINKS they know what they are talking about when talking about MySQL in the sense of a 1990's version of the RDBMS rather than a present version. One could do the same about Postgres too but I'm not going to descend into your idiocy. Postgres has come a long way from being the buggy slow peice of crap it used to be and is actually a very reliable RDBMS. It just isn't very flexible.

    I would also suggest learning more about MySQL before opening your mouth as well if you plan on looking intelligent anytime soon.

  18. Re:So why on PostgreSQL 8.4 Out · · Score: 1

    I love how people still say PostgreSQL does it better and yet it is still slower, I can't do cross database joins easily, I can't do cross NETWORK joins, it's functionality is still limited in comparison, etc. MySQL is like Firefox and Apache... FLEXIBLE. It can meet the demands of what you put it to and not anal retentively rigid. MyISAM is faster because it is not rigid but puts the ACID compliance on the application. If you need transactions and ACID then move to InnoDB... or Mix the two. I can have tables of one kind and tables of the other, join across multiple database on multiple networks, etc. Postgresql would rather die before becoming this flexible. It prides itself in being rigidly compliant to a standard rather than an evolving tool.

    Yes, MySQL evolves and that is why we have the forks and that is why we are having MariaDB be born. And most of us look forward to it.

    Gotta second that dude. Zone out and focus in. Once you do that a couple of times, weed becomes recreational again. You are basically stressed and anxious and getting 'crazy chicken syndrome'. Youi know those chickens who are stuck in coops and tightly packed together to where they can barely move and breathe all day and start shitting on each other and plucking out their own feathers? Well sometimes humans get that way too and when then can't relax or unwind.

    Hit the bong, take a Xanax or whatever but unwind and destress. Some freaks up here in Seattle actually hike, climb mountains or ride bikes. A friend of mine in Hawaii surfs and a Java developer friend of mine rides motorcycles at the race track at speeds that would kill you. Helps him unwind. Right now I'm going to 'pack a bowl', pull out my lvl 80 Death Knight and kill noobs and watch them scatter... muahahahaha!
