A decent UPS (pretty much anything made by APC) will prevent the crashes in the first place, solving the problem completely and without any unnecessary overhead. With UPS prices being as low as they are, there is no excuse for not having one, so I think that journalling will become obsolete in some near future.
While a UPS is certainly a must, it does not protect you from hardware faults completely. Ever have a cap burn out on your motherboard, or lightning strike through your network?
Or the most irritating one of all, get a static shock through the keyboard that resets the system?
Run your own damned mail server if it's THAT IMPORTANT. Seriously, it's not hard to set one up,
Yes and no, unfortunately. Sure it seems easy to set up a mail server, but there are a lot of misconfigured mail servers out there that are open relays, or spew backscatter spam, or simply get hacked and turned into zombies for spammers.
That doesn't begin to touch the issues of administration of users, anti spam software, uptime and redundancy planning, etc.
I'd say, it's not that hard *for a competent system admin* to set up a mail server.
Have you ever climbed up a 80 ft ladder? It takes some serious strength to do that quickly - my arms and legs were shaking when I got to the top of the water tower. Great view though. Too bad we never did get the wifi contract.:(
Do you work for the Republican campaign? I only ask because such blatant cherry-picking of the facts to suit your own position is a party trademark.
No, it comes from both sides of the isle. Have a look a this.
Fannie Mae, the nation's biggest underwriter of home mortgages, has been under increasing pressure from the Clinton Administration to expand mortgage loans among low and moderate income people and felt pressure from stock holders to maintain its phenomenal growth in profits.
In addition, banks, thrift institutions and mortgage companies have been pressing Fannie Mae to help them make more loans to so-called subprime borrowers. These borrowers whose incomes, credit ratings and savings are not good enough to qualify for conventional loans, can only get loans from finance companies that charge much higher interest rates -- anywhere from three to four percentage points higher than conventional loans.
You're completely wrong. It's a standard feature of Ubuntu and Vista, and everyone under 25 uses it.
But that's because everyone over 25 (who cares) buys multiple monitors. Why use virtual desktops when you can afford to make your real desktop big enough to hold everything?
Because 6-12 monitors is too much cost and takes up too much room on my desk?
Seriously, I use 6 virtual desktops all the time, just on my laptop. When I'm on my workstation, I have two monitors and 6 virtual desktops. And yes, I do frequently use all of them. (obviously not running Windows)
Ok, so a world-renowned pilot takes off in 2,000 pounds of airplane, steel, fuel, and glass, What's found? A partially burned piece of some of the most flammable things on the plane,
Have you seen the remains of the towers on 9/11? It's bizarre what can come out of a catastrophic event.
I'm not saying it's genuine or fake, but your criteria doesn't prove anything either.
I'm curious, why is string escaping depreciated? The Wikipedia article doesn't make it clear.
My thought is that using string escaping makes it easy to forget to escape something. Using prepared statements is such a different method, it's easier to do it right.
After cutting my teeth on perl's DBI and prepared statements, it just kills me when I have to do a VBA app... no placeholders at all.
This is a very good point. Except that phpMyAdmin makes it really easy to set up a new database with a single user who has all rights, and the same name as the DB.
So what I tend to do (and I do admit that I am a lazy SOB), is just create a new DB and user for every app.
However, your idea is much better, and it would be nice if phpMyAdmin had such a feature...
It does! I create the database, then a user(s) with no permissions. Each user can be set down to the dtabase or table level, with different permissions.
However, it is also good practice of course, to use placeholders to properly escape data to the database.
And people wonder what is killing PC gaming? Its the companies that make PC games.
I agree. Instead of using DRM and features that only the most advanced computers can run, try making a compelling story line and fun game play that just works.
I don't know if it's still true, but the update mechanism used to use p2p to distribute the updates - and we had one WoW player take down a whole wireless ISP segment when a major update was released... while he was at work and not even on the computer.
I can't figure out if this is a troll of if you just don't realize the magnitude of the problem, it's not something that the computer in your mom's basement can just churn out!
Oh, why not make a threaded app that makes 9.8 million threads and test all the numbers at once? ROFL
And the mod that thought this was insightful? Can I have some of that stuff you're smoking?

you butter stop cooking up any more puns, or your audience might slip away....

Wow, the first thing they do in a marketing class is market marketing....
And if I'm not mistaken, this thread is marketing marketing marketing... yeesh.

SO... be sure to leave similar comments on their *real* pictures.. ;)
No, imaginary numbers cannot be rational.
Isn't this getting rather complex?
Sure...
ADA is an acronym for American Dental Assocation.
I thought it was Americans with Disabilities Act...
There's a joke in there somewhere about Ada programmers being disabled...

That article was written in 1999, BTW.
Whoops, I forgot to mention the virtual machines running in which I use a few virtual desktops too. That one's a little ugly though.

There was a website once with satellite photos to help look, does anyone remember what it was?
Kinda hard to tell from google maps, but something like this may be all that you can see...

And exactly where is this trademark that is infringed by this domain? If it was chicagoolympics2016.com, they might have an argument.
So, folks can only tackle one problem at a time, huh? I guess all this multitasking ability in computers must be a far fetched idea too?
As far as I am concerned, this is an invasion of privacy.
Yeah, keep your nose out of my business!!!
How 'bout you keep your (dog's) business out of my nose?
Amen. I want to put up a sign along the lines of "My kids don't s*** in your yard, so why do they have to play in your dog's?"
I guess I did run into that recently, but didn't quite put it together... I was looking for "?" as a place holder.
Is it actually usefull for preventing sql injection by escaping the contents of the parameter?
