  1. Re:MariaDB is one ugly name for a DB on Widenius Warns Against MySQL Falling Into Oracle's Hands · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maria: She goes down frequently and has no standards. Unfortunately, she's full of bugs and may silently truncate your input :(

  2. another point on Widenius Warns Against MySQL Falling Into Oracle's Hands · · Score: 1
    Oracle bought sleepycat and owns BDB. Any license changes? Bueller? Bueller?. Oh, and oracle is also sponsoring btrfs development. Which is GPL.

    MySQL is a shit database. If oracle tries to crush it, they'll end up with shit splattered everywhere and a stinky hand. It's 100% forkable, and 95% pointless. Postgres, SQLite, and "no-sql" datastores do a better job for most scenarios. And if you're running a PHP-4 script that needs MySQL 4, it doesn't matter who owns mysql.

    I don't think Yi Cui is a traditional WASP name.

    I don't think browser-only is the way to go, but I don't think the lack of existing apps or games is the problem. Look at the iphone and the app store. A desktop-class browser (minus the flash and java) plus games, apps, and utilities designed for the device plus an app store could be a success.

    Miguel interviewed at Microsoft but they didn't hire him.

  6. Re:Resolution on Apple Counter-Sues Nokia Over Patents · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Apparently, that's what nokia wanted in the first place. So Apple thinks they can win or at least get better terms.

  8. Re:Not keeping low profile? on Best Way To Clear Your Name Online? · · Score: 1

    I'm a big fan of textfiles and would hate to see shit taken down. (Aside from J Random Douchebag's name, they have anarchy files with bomb instructions, etc. You shouldn't try them, but it has historical and comical value and censoring won't stop terrorism). I don't know or care what the incident was, but chances are I would think "that's cool" rather than "don't hire" given the context.

    The material cost on that $200 iPod Touch is around $100.

  11. Re:Nothing New on Will Tabbed Windows Be the Next Big Thing? · · Score: 1

    when I move my mouse to the top or bottom of the screen, I don't need to worry about precision. I can't overshoot. It's an infinitely big target. A tab bar in the window? not so much. You need to move your mouse slower and fiddle around more to hit it. In other words, Fitt's Law.

    Chrome isn't just the alternate alternate windows browser, it's also a part of ChromeOS and (more importantly) Android.

  16. Re:Good news for Linux on Windows 7 Share Grows At XP's Expense · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hardware has caught up and peripherals have better drivers. MS really fucked up the expectations by dumbing down the vista requirements.

    • A study by Philip Mote formerly of the University of Washington in the United States and Georg Kaser of the University of Innsbruck in Austria concludes that the shrinking of Kilimanjaro's ice cap is not directly due to rising temperature but rather to decreased precipitation.

    The immune system does attack HIV, and that's kind of the problem. HIV infects T4 lymphocytes, which get killed off by the rest of the immune system, which then allows opportunistic infections to cause problems (and death).

    FreeBSD has support for /dev/null which, in my experience, is faster than xfs and just as reliable.
