What features do stored procedures provide that can't be handled with postgresql functions?
For me database independence is important. Stored procedures let me do that. I can move from MS SQL to MYSQL or even something like HSQLDB if I wanted. All I need to do is write a procedure for said database and point my application to that database. No change in application code.
Hardcoding the SQL in your application marries you to the database you choose. I see stored procedures as a prenup agreement for databases. We get married but if you become a pain in the ass I can easily move on without losing half my stuff.
Well if you actually bothered to click on the links (the "Physarum chip" chip one) you would have read all the fields their research would benefit . One of them is Neuro-morphic processing which means emulating how the brain work.
To be part of the content cartel you have to produce content. Dish does not produce content. Anyway maybe now they can add Netflix/Hulu/... to their receivers
Playing CRPG since the 80s and as the best you mention Fallout 3? Fallout 3 was prettier, but thats the problem, prettier is not better. Fallout 1 was better, Baldur's Gate was better, Planetscape:Torment was better. Hell, even the old TSR goldbox RPGs were better (Pool of Radiance, Champions of Krynn and my favourite Buck Rogers).
I have a 10 year old Chevy Avalanche and with 100k miles and its been very reliable (knock on wood, im sure it will blow up tomorrow). The only mechanical things that have failed are the water pump, fuel pump, shocks and 1 hub and those are mainly because of age/wear.
Unlike other states, in Puerto Rico there's a division in the goverment dedicated to Consumer Protection, companies can get fined for false advertisement if the consumers report them. Just today there was something about this in the local newspaper AT&T could get a multi-million fine. (translation, it is in spanish)
Luis was a really scary one, it was going to hit us directly. It was cat4 almost cat5. I had saved a image of when he was just east of us but lost it in the last reformat. Here is one from Tracking the Tropics, if that thing had hit us we would probably be still picking up debris.:)
Hugo wasn't a cat5 when it got to us. It was cat5 just for a while, when it made landfall in Puerto Rico it was a cat3, Georges (1998) was just a cat2. Georges actually shook my house (like an earthquake) and it was a cat2 I don't want to know what a cat4/cat5 will do to us.
Eh, ignore this moron, maybe his power was out and he was without tv or internet, probably does not even lives here. Irene did hit us directly, the eye of the storm entered through Humacao and left through the city of Dorado. It was a tropical storm at the time (winds 65-70mph), it became a hurricane on top of us. Most of the problems here are with:
That's mostly it all we have to do is save some drinking water and wait for the thing to leave. I had a generator so I had internet, satellite tv (didn't even removed the antenna) and air conditioner, so it was basically a holiday for me, actually 3 day holiday work was without power for 3 days.:).

That's bullshit. That's the game everyone want to play.
Instead of watching that boring video watch this one. Is more representative of serious Sam gameplay.
There was nothing scarier than hearing those screaming exploding guys coming from the distance.
Well maybe it was scarier to find lots of ammo and health because you knew that as soon as you picked it up something bad was coming.
Probably lots of screaming guys...

I don't see how SqlServer can compete against Postgresql. The only thing SqlServer had going for it was integration with .Net framework.
.. and real stored procedures.
I actually thought he was a dingo.

... and volunteers exist I'm sure the problem will be eventually solved, look at the latest (and ingenious) solution for leukemia.

Why not just sell all phones unlocked, end of story. What keeps you on a carrier is the contract, not the phone being locked to said carrier.
People didnt like it because it tastes like despair.
I miss that show...

Wireless signals under water are awe full.
Did you meant to write "Wireless signals under water are terrible", or that "Wireless signals under water fill you with awe"?

Wow you are a moron, were taking about *software* here, not human rights.
