  2. Re:Total Nonstarter in the US. on Russia Approves Siberia-Alaska Railway · · Score: 1

    Alaska can't even afford to push a gas pipeline down to the lower 48 to sell off all of the neato natural gas we have. The economics of nat gas have gotten so bad that we've shut down the LNG facility that shipped it to Asia.

    well, then, don't sell them as gas. sell instead electricity or perhaps make freshwater off of it and sell it to the lower 48 state.

  5. Re:Bend Over ... on Making Sense of the NoSQL Standouts · · Score: 1

    You don't understand the benefits of Mongo DB.

    Please add a column to your users table. In your SQL DB you probably need to convert the table and have an global lock while doing so.

    In Mongo DB on the other hand, you just add the whatever you want to include:

    {
    "username" : "bob", "address" : { "street" : "123 Main Street", "city" : "Springfield", "state" : "NY" }, "an" : "new", "column" : "with some new data"

    As I sad earlier, this is exactly what Microsoft wants, since then they can buy Nokia much cheaper. So they are probably trying to do everything they can to get the share of Nokia down as much as possible.

  20. Re:finally on Aussie National Broadband Network Will Be Gigabit · · Score: 1

    i Sweden they have an OpenNET. which is a fibre backbone which is free.

    You don't know nothing about OpenNet as I do. I'm struggling with the everyday. Nothing is free on their network. And if you are lucky, you can order an Adsl but not an Vdsl, even tough they have an agreement that say they should.

    So, no. You do not want to have anything to do with OpenNET.
