Why do you assume relational databases are more developed than hierarchical?? The company I work for has been using our own hierarchical database for 25 years. They had the potential to become what Oracle is today but decided to stay focused on the medical industry. The serious problem with relational databases is they have traditionally not handled sparse data well at all. In the case of a patient every time they come for a visit there are tens of thousands of possible data points that can be entered, but most usually are empty. For tasks such as these relational databases have been completely impractical. With the use of indexing a heirarchical database can do everything a relational database can do.
They make money from the other company making the product via licensing and game console makers usually break even or lose money on each console unit sold when they make it themseleves.
Aliens vs. Predator was also quite freaky. The first five minutes of the game is you in a dark facility that's been evacuated. The entire time your motion tracker is pinging away like in the movie. The place is dark so you must use your flares but when you throw them they make the motion tracker go off. By the time you actually get attacked the tension is enough that my roomate jumped out of his chair when he played.
The thing that scares me is that MSN starts automatically when you check your Hotmail, without prompting you to run a program. Sounds like a potential security problem to me! And these people want to store all my personal information for me with Passport? My solution was to rename the executable, that cleaned its clock pretty well!
Think of the homemade p0rn! You really can't take those kinky pictures of the misses if you have to take it into the shop to get the pictures. That would cut out a big chunk of the reason why people want digital cameras!
Where is the advantage of this over a simple round-robin scheme? With round-robin each server will at least get the same number of sessions to start. With your scheme it'd be possible to for a couple of machines to be bogged down while the rest are relatively idle. Sure that might be unlikely to happen but I don't understand why you would even give it the chance.
You probably got the IP address of someone who had been using gnutella. So when you logged on and got that IP address some other clients still remembered that there was a node there, and were sending you packets thinking you were the one who had been running gnutella. Its like calling 40 people from a pay phone and telling them the phone's number. Then someone else comes to the same phone and the phone might ring with one of those people looking for the origional person.
Actually if you don't tell them then it's no big deal , I lived with just a cell phone while I waited for my regular phone to get hooked up by a much cheaper carrier. When I moved in I didn't even have a cell phone and none of the utilities cared one bit. When I got my cell and updated the companys with the number not one gave me any grief.
If it was only Yahoo then yes, but when pinging a list of thousands of game servers sometimes I get 0-2 servers with a ping of less than 250 ms, the ones I do get are barely under the 250 limit I set on my filters. Normally I would get 100-200 servers with the best ones being in the 40 ms range. I wasn't saying the whole network might be having problems, in fact my connection has been great until recently. No downtime (besides when the guy mistakenly pulled the wires at their box) and great (low) latency.
Since a week ago or so my latencys have been huge. Pinging www.yahoo.com would get me times of 200-500 ms. Considering I playing online games a lot that just isn't acceptable! They get better early in the morning, I wonder if @home's network structure is suffering.
At least I now have time to finally finish Homeworld
Remember AOL owns Netscape, which helps to bring us Mozilla. They also have sponsor AOLServer, an open soruce web server. I'm no AOL fan but give some credit where credit is due.
Start a website for local people to converse, start something. I'm sure all the people you used to talk to feel the same way. I agree the sense of community is missing. It might not work but maybe you could start something.
Until the new one arrives go ahead and use the one you have. As a precaution you'd better keep it submerged in a bucket of water, though. Then you won't have to worry about it bursting into flames!:-)
And if you keep the water cold you can store some brew in it for easy access while computing!
With enough computing power and high definition radar you could use a kinetic projectile. The launcher would cost more but it's a one time cost versus missles.
The source for KDE alone is easily over 100 MB. The time it would take would be prohibitive in the extreme. Hence it would be expensive, hence it would make the product expensive. It's just not practical, plain and simple.
Problem is software has bugs, and the tolerence for hardware bugs is exremely low. What happens when a bug screws over said video card? Reboot! How long does it take before that will get old? Oh about 3 times before it goes out the window. Also, implementing these large,complex programs on hardware would be a nightmare, which means it would be expensive due to engineering costs.
The primary reason for the Hindenburg going up in flames was because the skin was extremely flamable, more so than the hydrogen inside! Remember if hydrogen wasn't combustable we couldn't use it as a fuel! (Barring fuel cells) How many have died from gasoline started/fueled fires? Just because one high profile accident happened doesn't mean it's use as fuel should be dismissed out of hand.

I wasn't talking about storing the session information on the network, just the distribution of sticky sessions to the servers.

I don't have to worry about being a criminal for sshing to my home machine from work!
For now at least.
Open "My Computer" right click on CD drive, select create shortcut. Click yes. Your problem is now solved.

Remember VPN isn't free! You either have to pay for a hardware solution or take a performance hit on all connected boxes for all the encryption.
US Cellular didn't care in the least bit once my credit check went through ok.
