If don't beleive something that is very easy to verify then you should be much more worried about other things!!
- Are you an orphan? - Is the food you are eating really good for you? - Is your house really worth what you think? - Are your dreams really in your subconscious? - Are you mature enough (mentally) to place such fundamental questions?
I agree on how MySQL presents itself unbaised and openly...BUT
It still can't replace Oracle... Once it can achieve Transactions, Subselects and a basic implementation of Triggers and Stored Procedures then it will really be considered a viable option to most problems that use Oracle right now.
Or, if we put it the other way around: if, for the current applications that use MySQL, you replace it with Oracle it would be overkill.
Maybe by the next iteration in it's design MySQL will offer more functionality... meanwhile PostgresSQL is the alternative.
DHTML is still important if you want to minimize communication with the server and offer a quick response to the user. Things like validation, updating icons, dynamic pick lists, dynamic tables, etc. are all prefered to be done by the browser. Unless your site will be hosted on a small LAN, you need all the speed you can get, connection wise.
It's all a matter of how much a person can stand his/her environment being overcrowded and polluted.
I've lived in Mexico City and it is one of the most populated and poluted cities in the world. It always amazed me how people will carry on with their lives under such environmental pressures. Your respiratory system goes first, your eyes hurt too after a while. But even living in Mexico City your body tends to adapt.
We will be considering a big change in our lifestyle if 83% of the cities in the world lived under similar conditions. Right now I don't see nobody being in a hurry to make a change.
Research and development has been done by government funded institutions... And most of this knowledge has been shared and not patented or sold....AND what a private company wants to research and develop will not necessarily be the same as what a non-profit organization will be motivated to do. Sort of the decisions the HMO's in America do when deciding who gets treated and for how long.
my $0.02... and how many treatments @ $3,500 can u afford?!!
I'm amazed sometimes on how easily a GUI is considered trivial or non-critical.
For redundancy or performance reasons you want to have the same business rules executed on the GUI as well as verified on the server. The work required to set a trigger on the database is not the same for representing that on the GUI to the user. The amount of detail that goes on interactively with the user could hardly be managed directly by a server. Because of these I agree that more patterns besides the model-view-controler are needed.
Currently I am on a project where a 'web' form takes 20 days to build but the store procedures that manage the data take 2 or 3 days.
In the 80's with the murder of DEA agent Enrique Camarena. US special agents secretly searched and flew Dr. Alvarez Machain from Mexico and put him on trail on the US. Mexican authorities were outraged... but then again they weren't very 'efficient' at the time.
What about all the other regional Google pages? Google forces you to load the page for your country (i.e. in Canada = Google.ca) but could the news then be also from my region?
This sounds like the correct starting point for an Open Source project. At least it could get a head start in communicating with an Exchange Server (in the parts that it complies with the RFC)
If you live in Vancouver (Canada) these are two good choices to buy parts from. Given that you know what you are looking for, don't expect a detailed explanation of what's good or not (they're usually very busy):
Generic Computer ATIC computers
This has conviced me to stop looking at Linux as a passing interest and start including it as part of future work proposals (prototypes, demos...et.al.). I just don't want to be in future conversations with my clients saying that linux is still not an option and then hearing: "What do you mean is not an option, my little 10 yr old managed to install Samba and started her own web site at home with no problems!"

Wrong. If you 'just' want to store data and ignore the functionality available in your DBMS then you should use flat files.
And have everything running local, or were you planning to deploy it on a network?

Is not black or white as it seems.

How does c2it.com compare to western union, et.al.?

At least he sounds like your next CEO.

Well some people claim of putting vinegar on their fries! ;-)
What country does NOT have multiple colors on their money (besides the US)?
Seems that it is only used for the convenience of selecting the right bill at a glance.
