Why not? I can perform search on database and get all files that match "nature and trips". Then I just select from a list or take first one, or make a different request. Being able to have tables WITHOUT a primary key or unique fields is a great advantage for databases over filesystems. Obviously you CAN have primary key or unique field, but it's not a requirement.
Gateway configurations, sir. Have you ever try to run 2 instances of qmail on one machine for exampe? qmail is very rigid and unfriendly to make configuration tricks and connections to anything not usual.
the best advantage for a non-precious and non-active person from DB-based structure is that when you are writing "something about nature" what happens in a "trip to Appalachi" you don't have to invent a name "tripappalachi.doc", you can simply save it with attributes "Nature" and "Trips". You cannot do it in Filesystem: you have to figure out one directory and invent a name. For some people inventing names is a pain in the #$s
Nope. Not just a relation DB. For example in DB you can have an object that has no distinctive name and no path to get it. In Filesystem you cannot create such objects.
"If not, do researchers write C/C++ programs and use GMP or Matpack to solve math problems?" No! They use FORTRAN! Surely it's still much better language for numeric stuff
Oopsie. Where I live, there is only 3 grocery stores available. Dillons, Wal-Mart and Food for less. If they all implement something that I wouldn't like - I would be forced to shop there.
Ok. Advantages of flat scheme:
- easy to create compiler
- do not need very tricky register optimizations
- easy to create chip logic Disadvantages of flat scheme:
- large instruction word.
- Need intelligent cache or hints
Large instruction word is (on my opinion) not a huge disadvantage - now the price of memory is cheap, and if you make bus wider, the speed of loading the code will be the same. And may be the compilers can gap this disadvantage by more efficient code (one operation "add" instead of three: load into register, add, save).
May be adding "hint commands" may help for example HINTLOCAL mov L1 L2 add L2 L3 L5 HINTNOLOCAL mov L5 L4 and all locations between HINTLOCAL and HINTNOLOCAL commands will be assigned cache index numbers.
For PhBs how the words sounds does matter much. If we say "virtual-machine portable languages" instead of "scripting languages", I think the valuation of that languages will rise in the eyes of PhBs
I don't understand why do we have registers at all right now Flat memory model where you can do operations like mov add and a good cache - hoopla! No registers needed!
Yes! There was a task: There was a file with ~600 URL links with real media. A task was to check those URLs. My TCL solution took me about an hour and was accepted. Another persons' Java solution took 2 weeks of his time and was not debugged at all. that other person vas VERY experienced in Java and wrote a lot of projects in it.
I bought Mandrake Power Pack and it's great stuff. Including StarOffice. I use it for server and home computing and for now I found Mandrake the best distributive for my needs.
Moreover, you can make Linux an integral part of a game. Like in Space Quest 1: Wilco go to terminal screen and see there... Linux! A good running linux with all bells and whistles:) The game is playable and Wilco should do something useful in Linux shell (cat/dev/spaceweapon >/dev/zero) etc. Or some monsters will chase you to run olde SuperStar trek game in shell.
Slashdot Mirror
what does the word "astroturf" mean?
What is the origin of that word?
It's not in Webster dictionary.
It seems to me that 2.5.x with preemptive patches may be your friend.
That patches are allowing to break the low-priority
process even if it's in kernel mode - the most important source of bad reactivity in X.
Why not?

Oh! I thought about a real leather-bound PAPER notebook, with real PAPER pages!
No CPU, no RAM, no Motherboard, No Power supply,
no keyboard, no Display,no battery, no case. Price: $200
What happens if somebody names deletion of files
as "murder" and try to enforce laws on murder on people that delete files?
if real pirates pirate a ship with Window$ distrubutives near Taiwan?

by more efficient code (one operation "add" instead of three: load into register, add, save).
Why do you need the opcodes to be decently small?
Nope. The task was to check if those links are actually works and produce live streams in the time :)
of check.
Oopsie for java. No beans for you
May be adding "hint commands" may help
for example
HINTLOCAL
mov L1 L2
add L2 L3 L5
HINTNOLOCAL
mov L5 L4
and all locations between HINTLOCAL and HINTNOLOCAL
commands will be assigned cache index numbers.

I probably can do with that code whatever I want.
