  1. light on Ask Slashdot: Which NoSQL Database For New Project? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    SQLite is a relational database management system contained in a C programming library. In contrast to other database management systems, SQLite is not a separate process that is accessed from the client application, but an integral part of it.

    what you run as an OS has as much relevance to anyone else as what my next door neighbour had for lunch 3 weeks ago.

    Three weeks ago your neighbour had packed lunch which was overpriced , had an attractive wrapping but tasted average, he had to buy salt and spices seperately ( overpriced ) . The nutrition profile was so unhealthy that he'd need to be an Arnold Schwarzzenegger to digest it. After three weeks of eating that meal your neighbour started sending junk messages to all the people he knew and doing other strange things.

    Now he wishes he'd just RTFM and cook his own meal.. Or maybe just eat some Ubuntu

    AFAIK windows is inherently crappy piece of software .convenience is one thing but you can't just sacrifice ur geek mojo for that.
    The only reason I ever touched windows in the past 10 years or so is for gaming ..Now I have gotten a few games to run over wine . I really dont know why a geek would use windows .. Or even osx ..

  11. Re:Life? I doubt it. on Saturn's Moon Enceladus Has Underground Ocean · · Score: 3, Informative

    If I was to lay money on it I'd say that water was about as sterile as you can get.

    In earths underwater volcanic vents the environment is highly toxic with a high concentration of sulphur . The temperatures go up to 500 deg C .Life still flourishes . It is not carbon based life as we know , it is sulphur based life , deriving its energy from the vents. I'm not saying that means life will exist on europa or other similar moons but it's a demonstration of how simple life can exist in the most unforgiving conditions

    Today, more and more websites are designed in a such a way that disabling Javascript breaks them completely -- you literally get nothing but a blank page.

    IMHO these websites are examples of bad design . Good design should fall back to plain html/css with ideally, minimum loss of functionality

    but wouldn't it just make more sense to size the applications to use the host OS on a single box as opposed to running multiple copies of operating systems and services that eat resources when the virtual hosts all belong to a single customer?

    Some hosting customers require control of the OS to run their proprietary security and optimization apps . Besides, virtualization allows for efficient utilization of hardware , power and rackspace.
