Innodb add transaction (and 5 different levels of transaction isolation) to MySQL and it's only a table type change away.Autocommit=0 anyone? Please people : learn about the tools...
InnoDB provides MySQL with a transaction-safe (ACID compliant) storage engine with commit, rollback, and crash recovery capabilities. InnoDB does locking on the row level and also provides an Oracle-style consistent non-locking read in SELECT statements. These features increase multi-user concurrency and performance. There is no need for lock escalation in InnoDB because row-level locks in InnoDB fit in very little space. InnoDB also supports FOREIGN KEY constraints. In SQL queries you can freely mix InnoDB type tables with other table types of MySQL, even within the same query.
First: Transactions isolation and innodb can solve most of these integrity problems. Both can be used with current (and earlier) versions of MySQL.
Also, just make sure you give just enough rights to your users so they don't fsck up the database. And why would someone make change to the tables ?? These are supposed to be done prior going into production phase as in the design phase. Have you ever heard of relationnal database theory stuff like the normal forms? There is really no such things as a bad MySQL but really just bad (or absence of) good design. You really need to look over this while developping a system. I learned to never trust the engine and use the programming language to determine if my data where correctly committed/erased, etc. The database is just that : a place where to store your data. I understand that its sometimes tempting to rely on the database error system instead of your own mecanism, but you should be smarter than the database and think about where those things (bad integrity, errors, suspicious things) could happen and prevent them or if you can't, code an error checking/catching mecanism to deal with them : error catching is the way to go.
I don't know about your background, but alot of criticism about MySQL come people who have poor programming skills and tend to code half-assed attempts of systems thinking that the database will solve all of their problems when they don't even know that an index on a frequently used column could increase their query times by ten folds... Others come from very high-end legacy systems (think Oracle) and bitch and whine about MySQL not having this or that feature. Excuse me but Oracle's views , triggers and stored procedures are really usefull, but most of these things (if they are THAT necessary) can be done by having a good design and appropriate coding behind the application/system.
I'll say it again: a database is a place where to store data and preventing their corruption by providing you with an integrity checking mecanism . That's it. Now if other features exists and you can make good use of them then good for you. But I see these as extras and not necessary when good design an implementation is done. Its really a pity these days when people bitch about MySQL but don't know how to implement a good data storing scheme using plain old textfile. (In my days...;) Count yourself lucky to have something like MySQL available for free today. Phew... My two canadian pennies.
You haven't work much in technical support right?
ALOT of people WILL do what the computer instruct them to do because "Eh it must be allright , its the computer who's asking".
Initially I thought this was silly...until I started to use them. Just another way that I can get to my files faster on a Mac. If such a thing exists on Windows, I've never been able to find it. I use it to make folders that are not accessed enough to book mark directly, but that I occasionally need to get to more visible. Cuts down on the time it takes to do relevancy determination. "
This is exactly like Linux with the bash shell and colored folder, really usefull. See, this is the kinda thing that could make me switch.
That's not proprietary, that's a monopoly. The parent was talking about an open source IM protocol. MSN IM protocol might be proprietary and closed source, but the fact that MS uses its monopoly (thus wide installed base) and include it in the OS at install time is a different matter.
At any given time since a couple of weeks there's a front story about Apple. Now the Apple Mini and IShuffle were news. But now this one and yesterday it was about a loser who crammed pc parts in the Mac Mini. Is Apple's the new google?

Did you teach her how to use the applications?
I could say the same thing about my mom if she'd be using exclusively Linux apps and then ask her to get her e-mail on a Windows box...
... and I'd truly and honestly expect the generation after this next one (PS4, XBox3) to include touchscreens on the consoles. They are that cool. Wow.
You gotta explain to me how they'd do that. Sell a touchscreen TV with you new PS4 console?
You might want to know about VNC. If your clients can allow it(firewall, adjustment, etc) , it works wonder in X and every version of Windows. We use this over vpn for remote desktop/server support. But I will always prefer ssh for command-line Linux.
A nice client/server package is Tightvnc :

"especially if it meant that the coperate(sic) data was going to be stored on external servers."
Or not...
They can sell the application only, not the storage space, you run their apps and save locally.We can already do that with standard office suits anyways. The matter is that they would now be served from the web, browser based.
"I am sorry to report that much of Elena's story is not true. She did not travel around the zone by herself on a motorcycle. Motorcycles are banned in the zone, as is wandering around alone, without an escort from the zone administration. She made one trip there with her husband and a friend. They traveled in a Chornobyl car that picked them up in Kyiv.
She did, however, bring a motorcycle helmet. They organized their trip through a Kyiv travel agency and the administration of the Chornobyl zone (and not her father). They were given the same standard excursion that most Chernobyl tourists receive. When the Web site appeared, Zone Administration personnel were in an uproar over who approved a motorcycle trip in the zone. When it turned out that the motorcycle story was an invention, they were even less pleased about this fantasy Web site.
Because of those problems, Elena and her husband have changed the Web site and the story considerably in the last few days. Earlier versions of the narrative lied more blatantly about Elena taking lone motorcycle trips in the zone. That has been changed to merely suggest that she does so, which is still misleading. "
Jokes asides, these people are threathening innocent web users of DEATH here. I don't know about you, but if I'd received such a letter by snail mail, it would been at least worthy of a police/state police/fbi investigation? Its gone way too far. WTF!?!

As opposed to what? Typing your card number?

Don't blame the language. Blame the programmers.
