my email servers are IMAP so I can reinstall client as many times as I want without losing anything.
New spam filtering in Mozilla works great - no false positives.
I saw article on Russian website that their space agency just started recruiting people for future Mars missions. Variety of specialists, including geologists, needed. As opposite to their current programs, it won't be just military and military-related people.
Despite what vendors say stored procedures use radically different languages and patterns in different database products.
So really it is vendor-specific flavour you learn.
For Oracle (PL/SQL) O'Reilly PL/SQL books are good.
So someone expresses several perfectly valid points - and a Troll?
/. is getting shallower everyday
Thanks poster, glad to see some real-life enterprise coders out there.
It all comes down to how early the people start using the software in question. It does not matter how "good" QA and testing is - the real bugs are discovered by real users.
In case of closed-source, company cannot be honest about the soft they release - "look, this is only 2.0 version, it is still buggy and runs slower on Tuesdays". They still release it and hope to strike balance between fixing the bugs and having too many pissedoff customers.
For open source, there is no room for deception. It is completely normal and customary to have shakey first releases. Community understands that as the author gets feedback, patches and help, quality will grow. It has nowhere else to go but up.
rats, just finished downloading netscape 7.1!

Mozilla 1.4 Released

Right you are.
In addition, consider tax reasons: contract labor is basically cos-of-doing business so it can be written off immediately. Hardware purchase must be amortized over several years.
Do not look for common sense in IT or software development: I once worked for firm who forced all the key players to take vacation in December regardless of major deadline looming. Remaining skeleton crew blew the deadline and lost millions in business.
.. completely community driven?
Since this "review" represents a new alltime low as far/. article goes, it made me think of defection to that imaginary world where so called "editors" would not push to me either pimp-for-money articles or digest of recent edition of "Wired".
Java is interpreted (compiles to bytecodes)
C# is interpreted (compiles to MSIL or whatever they call it today)
Why my program (heavy on encryption) is 10-12 TIMES slower in Java version vs. C# version?
Code is identical.
Is it simply because Microsoft did a better job with the virtual machine?
it is not hard as long as you don't have to care about ACID. Works great for the small readonly lookup objects.
While ago I was toying with an idea to develop framework where object definitions would contain caching rules for this particular kind of object: this class can always be cached in memory, this class can only be for 5 minutes, this class is never cached and so on.
The data model (or schema) is part of any application. In the pure client-server case, it is captured in the tables and their relationships (and only there), in well-designed EJB application it is captured in te bean definitions, in the OODBs it is in the pure object model. The point is - schema is always there and as part of the project evolution it has to be created,developed, maintained, etc.
what is interesting here is one more example of a development framework driven by objects not by database schema.
Seems like more and more people are thinking that way. This is the promise that EJB technology made but never delivered: to free developer from figuring out the backend stuff and just let him play with objects.
Another example of this kind of thinking is ObjectJuice
that image bothers me too.
I think what we saw was not the orbiter but some kind of spherical glare caused by camera's magnification.
if that shape indeed was the orbiter from behind, something chewed it up pretty bad.
Even with no rudder and broken wings, shuttle body would have been stablized by the stream not 90 degrees to it.
I hear you, the view chilled me to the bone.
Just did another Oracle TAR (telephone assistance request) via their Metalink site.
In 5 minutes, there was real person working on it.
In 20 minutes, he explained the behaviour(oracle bug) and suggested the workaround.
Disclaimer: I do not work for them, do not rely on income from DBA work and do prefer Postgres for my own projects

We need to keep America's great promise.

several projects over last 5 years:
os/web server/application server/database
Linux/Apache/Oracle AS( piece of shit) / Oracle
NT/IIS/Tomcat/SQL Server
NT/IIS/Web Logic/SQL Server
Linux/Apache/Web Logic/Oracle
Solaris/Apache/Oracle AS/Oracle
