From the beginning, life in the C was perilous. Once in the 'net, our shells were vulnerable. They tried to bait us with spam & worms, and while most found those tasteless, some were hooked.
Explicitly casting further with new lures, the phishers trolled, hoping for more bytes on the (on)line. The emails of the species were particularly at risk, as their outlook was not so good to begin with.
Some sought harbour in the eBay, hoping their bet paid off. Last I heard, the feedback was good.
Maybe our only hope is growing legs and migrating to the LAN.
My facetious comeback: I don't have really have the answer, since I don't subscribe to a religion. Nor do I have an agenda to convince others I have the ultimate secret to life, the universe and everything.
Yet, I would like to make a distinction between "unknowable" and "unknown". Faith would appear to be an acceptance of the unknowable, whilst the unknown is there for the learning.
Shit, I'm beginning to sound like Donald Rumsfeld, so I'll stop right here;)
I'm just thinking of the overhead of Oracle, which may not be that suited to an embedded application. Of course, if this free version has lower hardware requirements, then yes that would be appropriate. However in this case I doubt that this would be suitable for say, mobile devices.
I guess it all depends on the restrictions applied to the "free" version. Is it crippled in any way? Does distribution of the free version require certain conditions (ie development criteria, use of application, etc)?
The article states hardware restrictions of "one processor, with 4GB of disk memory and 1GB of memory", so this may automatically disqualify applications of a certain scale.
I mostly agree, however the question remains - how do those variations of trait occur? My initial thoughts are as follows:
1. Environment - The change of environment would possibly favour certain characteristics. It is conceivable (though I may be totally wrong) that this can also serve to isolate groups of inter-breedable species, which may re-breed later due to environmental change at a later period.
2. Genetic Mutation - Subtle random mutation of genes due to either "bugs" in the DNA software replication process, OR the result of radiation on DNA.
Both points rely on some element of randomness (1 - essentially, the weather, and 2 - the interaction of radioactivity upon the DNA molecule).
However, I may be on the totally wrong path (and definitely don't fully understand the process of RNA primers & DNA construction), this is just my independent musings on the subject. I also may be trying to re-ivent the wheel!
What, like Galilei, Copernicus, Newton, Descartes, Faraday, etc? The flaw in your argument is defining faith as "fooling oneself". It is possible that one can measure & investigate the physical world around us without having one's faith interpose.
I gave up after the fifth page. Damn, I hate these micro-page articles with more ads than text. And the way it's laid-out makes it difficult to read. For me, at least.

Yeah, but no, but yeah, but no... I'm so totally not obligurated to answer that question, like?
I disagree, I don't think the OP was inept at all. I got the joke just fine.
But what if the plan was to attach the US to Canada & Mexico, eh?
Charlies Angles? - I know they're (a)cute, but the reference is a little obtuse. ;)

Uh.... no comment. ;)
A case of too much Slashdot reading, methinks.

Maybe "DELETE FROM DBA_OBJECTS"? Of course, if that's a "mishap" I'd hate to see how such a development company really does business... ;)
I think that for embedded database storage, this would be overkill.
If anyone and his dog could administer an Oracle database, what will happen to the professional Oracle DBA's? THINK OF THE DBA'S!!! ;)

Server them? No! They'll just get slashdotted to oblivion!
It provokes the desire, but takes away the performance!
SUV: It's not what you do with it, it's how big it appears!

Yep, same here - it does seem confusing. Any insight, gmail (sorry googlemail :) staff?
I know what you're suggesting, but why waste paper needlessly?

Why not? Those at the "front line" field the calls from the end-users, so why would their views be any less worthy?
Abso-fucken-lutely. Even 1 year seems like a lifetime in the technology game.
