Lasers don't work very well in standard atmospheric conditions, they aren't like in the movies (I'll use my laser blaster!). HERF weapons use EM Pulses, and thus are vastly more cool. Especially if the need arises to fight a Robot Army. See: Animatrix
Valid points, of course:) But you have to admit that for simple home pages (and not corporate databases) MySQL is simple, to-the-point, and easy to use.
And free, although many other ones are free as well. (I wouldn't want to run Oracle@Home... of course, postgreSQL is also free, and I hear it's more mainstream as far as true database functionality.)
"Careful" people can enforce their own data integrity - obviously, it gets harder as the size (number and complexity of tables, I mean) of the database expands.
Can you tell I use it myself?:) You sound like you have experience with other database systems, how difficult do you think it would be to port an existing MySQL+PHP system to PostGreSQL or something similar?

Re-reading the article, I see that it says "With NASA verification". That firmly indicates that it should be a pre-explosion item, and not a piece of debris.
Obviously you didn't catch my other post, about fears regarding copyright infringement for reading such an article.
The fact remains, however, that in common nomenclature, P2P has been taken to mean something similar to "person to person" file sharing, which has absolutely nothing to do with the P2P network model. In my view of it, a pure P2P environment doesn't have a "server" you connect to, to view other users. This means that services such as DirectConnect, Napster, and WinMX are _not_ P2P services, though they are commonly lambasted as such in the media.
True P2P networks (Gnutella is the only one I can think of) have a "few" central IPs, but they result in an organic network model where no one machine is totally responsible for handling queries.
AMD is the slut of microprocessor companies. They're making small deals left right and center, because that's the only way they have to dethrone Intel. By picking up the scraps.
Who knows... maybe Apple's "strange bedfellows" will lead to lower Mac prices? Maybe one day I'll be able to afford one.
Heck, the last PC CPU upgrade I could afford was an AMD Duron/ECS K7S5A/Case/RAM/Soundcard, for $400CDN... that was a while ago.
Well, I doubt Macs will ever be that cheap. Ah well.

Now, are these petawilsonwatts? They're very cool.
Please tell me they are not PETAwatts. PETA is soooo gorram annoying.

No - true paranoia is when you shut the machines down, because "they're safer that way". :)
On top of that, how many women do you know named "Mobius"?
I'm in Canada. :P

It's also illegal.
The Matrix Reloaded is rated "R"
420? Cool, man. I'm sure hundreds of people would want to toke up at 420.
Yay for frickin laser beams! Woo! Robots that can burn holes in the "ozone" layer!
Someone found a use for my spare 5 1/2" drives. Geez.
Does this work for 2x CD-ROM drives, too?
heheh :)
I want one too.

Must. Have. Season. Pass.
Bring. It. To. Canada.
I love playing with my box. It's so furry and warm, I just cannot resist the pure joy of it.
I've just been proving that point over and over today. ;-)

Oddly enough, I run the server under FreeBSD.
... BeOS! It's The OS!
But yeah
But I have a squid cache on my LAN - not only will the document be copied to Netscape's cache, it will be stored on the squid server, too!
Mucho copyright infringement, I could get sued or something. Ack!
I think P2P has become a blanket term for any sort of file sharing, not just those based on a true peer-to-peer network model.
....
My own BeShare server is client-server, for instance
I'd read that article, but isn't it copyrighted by the person who wrote it?

I want them to hunt down and punish John Romero.
... what pile of tripe was it ... Daikatana, I think. Horrid.
... lol :)
I was deeply offended by the ads forced on me by ION Storm's marketing for
To Romero I say, "suck it down, bitch". I would change my opinion if he gave me a few thousand dollars, or a fun job, but until then
"Simulation and Simulcra"
Ironically, Neo has hollowed-out the book and uses it to store illicit data.
Well, I guess the true irony is that the book didn't exist in the first place, but that's another story.
