  1. Re:SQLLite is a search engine?!? on Open Source Search Engine Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    Although they might have full text indexing and searching, databases and search engines/libraries work differently.

    E.g. you come to online DVD shop and search for "Tom Criuse" (hint: misspelled surname). Every decent search engine (including Lucene library, not sure of others evaluated here) would yield a result, despite misspelling. I am not sure whether database fulltext thing would spit anything at all. It's simply built do do different job, that's it.

  2. Just hire another BOFH on How Do IT Guys Get Respect and Not Become BOFHs? · · Score: 1

    1. Convince your manager you need another "junior IT guy". Not necessarily full time - even a quarter time job would do it.
    2. Hire a decent BOFH.
    3. Profit!

    Seriously, people will quickly start noticing the difference.

  3. Re:What's so funny about an illegal war? on Google News Has Russian Army Invading Savannah, GA · · Score: 1

    BP which runs the pipeline is not aware of any damage done to it. They've said the pipeline stopped working 6th Aug but only because of technical glitches which are completely unrelated to the war. There's some coverage here, if you can read Russian: http://lenta.ru/news/2008/08/10/bp/ (they reference AFP, however I was unable to find the actual reference)

    Where was the intelligence of Ossetian people when they've got Russian passports? Once sold your soul to devil, you can't get away.

  5. Re:It's nearly caught up to PostgreSQL. on MySQL 5.1 Improves Performance, Partitioning, Bug Fixes · · Score: 1

    Don't know the specifics of your project, but isn't it better to use a tool that is designed to do the job (FTS in this case)? Lucene is pretty much de facto standard these days, robust and free.

  6. Bit more details here on Japan Launches "Super-Speed" Internet Satellite · · Score: 2, Informative
  7. Re:A serious issue with old packages on Debian 3.0r4 Released · · Score: 1

    PHP is not the only one example, there are more. Lots of teams are simply releasing new software versions when critical bugs arise. For Debian/stable this is not the way things should work - they are always about to apply patches for old software instead of upgrading to the newer version. Being a developer, I prefer the latter way.

  8. Re:Free Music and Pay Porn in the future. on Dealing With Copyright Online: Porn v. Music · · Score: 1

    > Free Music and Pay Porn in the future

    You mean, the music and porn will be like a commodity? :)

  9. Re:UML tools on Teach Yourself UML in 24 Hours · · Score: 1

    Just to draw the pretty pictures, not generate code. What's good?

    Not so true. The truth is a good design & implementation (search for "code generation"). Sorry, I'm biased.

  10. Re:UML samples on Teach Yourself UML in 24 Hours · · Score: 1, Informative

    Following words may be a bit biased since I work for a UML design tool company. This was a disclaimer.
    If you're still here - look at the tutorial [pdf format] of it. This includes several UML examples which may be tried having the tool (this one, or maybe another). Since the tool is
    written in Java, it should work on your platform. And, yes, you'll have to register before downloading
    full-functional demo. I hope, this is the only inconvenience in this case.

  11. Re:Distro battles? Nah. Journaling fs battles! on Ext3 Filesystem Explained · · Score: 1

    Anyone knows is there a working ext3 patch for 2.2.20? Because ext3 home for 2.2's (ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/linux/sct/fs/jfs/) doesn't seems to be updated since June.
