Wait ! There are millions of wankers killing billions of soon-to-be babies when they surf online porn. All those "babies" are defenseless spermatozoids. You have to stop those wankers, and I guess by force according to your "moral fibre"...
With 2 GB of RAM, it really depends of the application : for a typical Web site everything fits into memory : the Apache processes, the web pages (they are small enough to fit in the memory cache) and even the database (lets face it, not every site has TB of data in its database). In these situations the hardrive is hardly ever used...
Well there are a couple of reasons why MySQL is so popular despite its obvious shortcomings: - it's very easy to install, setup, use and maintain. I got replication to work in 5 minutes the first time I tried. I wonder how long it takes with Oracle... Postgresql doesn't even know replication - it's not ACID, yet it's very VERY reliable. It just keep going for months on without a restart provided the hardware underneath is big enough to handle the load. Even when it crashes your tables are always back up clean and nice. There's no need to run vacuum (Postgresql...) or rebuild indexes, it just work.
You get here the winning combo : something easy to use and that gets the work done. That's the same reason some people stick to their old Nikon camera or to an old truck.
yep, those dangerous 10 years old Palestinian stones are really a threat. That's probably why Isreal kill them.

The sea covers 70% of the surface of earth. Just make your solar plants floatable, build it in a modern harbor and float it to the equator (high sun power all year round, not too many clouds)
True - countries with ID cards are police state (all western Europe for example, including Holland) while countries without are free countries (USA for example, which has the highest percentage of jailed people in the world !).
Orwell message would be stronger if he wasn't used and abused all the time...
You are forgetting something : IE uses a lot of components already available in Windows (DLLs and OCX). The HTML rendering engine is itself an OCX component. I guess the Unix versions have to come with extra code to make up for the lack of these component on Unix systems.
Actually I'm running two DB servers with replication and all I can say is, it just seems to work (the slave seems to indeed reflect perfectly the updates received by the master). It was set it in less than 30 min:) . If your web scripts can do "if (master is down) then connect_to_slave and do_read_only" then you are set...
Treat them like the Palestinians Sharon is attacking. No need to bother with a trial or judge or lawyers, it is much faster to just bomb them with an AH-64 Apache helicopter and then say to TV "they were terrorists". It's not like Palestinians peoples deserve the right to a fair trial or something...
Actually that's just because it is badly implemented by Slashdot. All they need is to put a second DB server in replication and, even when the master server is down, it can still be used as a read only backup (which is fine for serving content).
Actually high-end alarms can detect if the car is being moved so that tow trucks are a bit disturbed in their job. Of course if you are badly parked, the cops might not like that either...
At least on my current version of Outlook (XP), the mail reader won't let you open any exe, com, pif, hlp, vbs or scr sent with a file. It is even a pain in the butt since there's no possible way to open such attachement even if you really want to (I have to remail it to myself and open with outlook express).
This is one of the reasons I decided not to switch from MySQL to PostgreSQL : the BLOB support in PostgreSQL is very crappy (and the "large object interface" is a horrible hack and pain in the ass to use). (yes I know the latest version doesn't have any limit on row size anymore and could store BLOB without going thru the large object interface).
Considering how ineffective the patriots missiles are (just look how well they managed to (not) put down the loosy Scuds) it wouldn't surprise me at all...
I am affraid you are wrong, the modems get 5 KB/s of raw data, not counting compression. I can download zipped files at over 5 KB/s with a dialup modem...
The ICANN dispute resolution system has no legal value, it is just a dispute resolution solution. If the output don't match your hopes, you can still take the thing to court (a real one).
The problem isn't even dubbing, the problem is that they don't even bother to dub foreign shows, they just redo the whole thing (and "americanize" it, which is a way of saying that they dumb it down a lot). To quote someone else "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of american public"
We ship a good hundred computer parts every day thru several carriers including UPS. Seing packages in this condition on arrival is unfortunately quite common. We even got a metal mouse box that we got back damaged : it was half flattened with big tire marks all over it.... now I would be curious to know how they manage to drive over the parcels they are supposed to deliver !

Space race again ! If this is serious, I can see the NASA and ESA budgets going up !! Maybe I will be able to get a space ride before I die :)

The French Minitel was used for ecommerce and online banking in the middle of the 80s. Finding an article in the press about it should be pretty easy.

The Pentium 4 2,4 Ghz beats any AMD CPU right now, at least as far as raw performance goes.

It is not - the best is a PC with MAME, a bunch of SNK and Capcom ROMS and a Hotrod SE arcade joystick !!! Beats anything hands down :)

mod_gzip is your friend.
Someone did, but it was too complicated for him. Vacuum cannot think.

C with type checking and safety.... yep it is Pascal. Why reinvent the wheel ?
