database servers can be scaled by throwing more cheap boxes in the data center.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Sorry, it's just that when you sai... HAHAHAHHAHA!
Umm, yeah, what was I saying?. Oh yeah: databases don't scale horizontally, and Oracle clusters are a pain in the ass. You could always do some sort of caching to unload the db, but AJAX is good for improving percieved interactivity.
And the complexity of the query does. It also tends to track the length of the query. Since we don't have the query, the schema, or the datasize, that's all we have to go on.
Microsoft owns that software, not you. You are merely licensed to use it.
MS owns the software, and I own a copy.I also own the hardware, and I say what happens on it.
imagine if the EULA had a clause that stated, in legalese, "...and I further agree to only run Microsoft Operating Systems on this PC from this point forward".
They're naturally temperature-controlled: anything more than a few feet down is going to hover around 40-50F
Yeah, sure, until you saturate the heat capacity of the ground around you. Mind, the ground conducts slowly, and datacenters have a lot higher power density than your basement.
The question isn't "why not in WA?" - the question is, "why would they choose to put new operations in an unexpandable, crazy-cost-of-living area like the Pacific NW?"
Cheap power and land. Clearly you haven't been to central WA. It's empty.
Any math to be done should start there for a reference.
Not until the reasoning had been worked out. How does the average failure generate 2-4 hours of downtime? In our environment, the number is closer to 10 miutes, and we have two of everything.
If it takes this long to find out your argument, you must not debate many people. Also calling this a supply and demand problem is simplistic in light of the greed is good 80s and the continuing drive from profits above all else in the 90s. Why don't you go back and read chapter 2?
If one is not questioned (and if one is not even interviewed due to being weeded out by the $35 background check showing that one is married, or divorced, or black, or a Christian, or gay, or etc.), one can only speculate, and cannot form much of a case against them to redress one's greivance in court.
However, if one's HR department habitually does background checks on prospective employees and only interviews single people, one well placed phone call to the state AG can cause all sorts of fun.
PS Why didn't Slashdot management update the "Allowed HTML" at the bottom?
It's the same as with the MPAA ratings, with the same enforcement rate (about 2/3). The problem is that parents buy the games for their kids, then whinge when their kids play GTA and club a hooker to death.
If stores won't sell a game to you, then you should pirate it.
Bitch are you retarded? Pirate the game all to hell and they won't make any more because they aren't making money. If the store won't sell to you, it's because you're a snot nosed little punk. Go home and wait for your balls to drop.
The article implies that ESRB is pretty good, compared to the alternative.
Well, the ESRB is pretty good. It rates games and gives reasons for it. What more do you want? What other alternative is there, other than government regulation?
No, the more companies continue to blindly pursue 'innovation' instead of the 'bottom line' the more their investors will shed their investments in 'risk taking' companies. HP is in a terrible position, losing market share in it's research, server and desktop divisions.
Your two sentences directly contradict each other (are you GWB's speechwriter?). HP is moving away from innovation and into the long dark night. Meanwhile, the companies you deride will build the future. I know where my money is going.
Also, although it's illegal to ask questions about marriage, family, race, sex, etc. during the interview, it is not illegal to do a background check on prospective employees.
It's still illegal to discriminate on marital status. Doesn't matter if you asked them about it or did a background check.

No. You are wrong. The right to not be deceived by false advertising is a right, not a privilege.
Is that why the FTC always says caveat emptor?
You own the copy of the media on which the software was delivered to you; you don't own the software itself. You are merely licensed to use it.
Yeah I do. I just don't own the copyright. I suppose next you'll tell me that I only license the content of the books I buy.
And the complexity of the query does. It also tends to track the length of the query. Since we don't have the query, the schema, or the datasize, that's all we have to go on.
What's with that wheel?
it's been driving me nuts.
Yarr!

It would be ignored, duh.

Depends on what you're weighing, really.
No one would be the wiser.

Why is it not a database problem?
Because it's a 5 page SQL query.
Sometimes, fastest still takes a long time.
What exactly does bias smell like? ;)
Bullshit.

I dunno, it works for me.
You've failed to make a credible case. Dismissed.
WE ALREADY HAVE THAT

Simple solution: go to amazon. I can get GTA: SA there with no problems at all.

How do you people misunderstand basic economics so badly? Who, exactly, is supressing your wages?
They've dropped some 30% since the 70s. who's suppressing them? Management. Why? Blame it on greed and the demands of wall street.

And I suggested that getting out of the house solves the whole problem nicely.
