While I do agree he is helping - a bit of translation for those of us who aren't native English speaking (nor understand US legal system) would very much be appreciated.
I have so far in my career been on one business trip and GPs feeling that was largely my take on it.
We landed at the airport, went straight to our business partners and talked for the rest of the day, drove to the hotel late, next day straight from morning back to the partners, talked all day and back to the hotel again very late and the last day again, straight to the partners and onwards from there to the airport. Nothing romantic about it, I'd personally opt out of any travels again if possible.
Also flying generally sucks when you are large, both ways I had my knees stuck firmly in the back of the passenger in front of me, on the way down there I was squeezed against the fuselage (CRJ 200, might be a nice private jet, but flying monkey class sucks), on the way back I was sitting in the center, however had to coordinate my movements during "dinner" with the guy next to me since both of us where fairly wide (I'm almost 60 cm across the shoulders).
From reading other posts apparently we are douchebags for wanting something practical (that looks nice).
Now you can obviously get something that does the job for less than $100 a crumbler sets you back, but when you have tried it you know why it costs so much more.
Also when you have tried dropping a $2000 laptop, because your $50 bag had a faulty strap you start to appreciate the better quality of a crumbler.
Seriously, if you believe MySQL to be safe you have no business with database applications, google it - heck, just read the linked sites from sibling posts.
Transactions are only supported by specific engines and even when you think you are running the right engine MySQL might surprise you (usually when you need a rollback the most). Read up on it, your data is being corrupted!
GP is right, MySQL is a toy database, advanced toy but still a toy database.
The absolutely most important thing for a database is data integrity, the ability to trust in your system - when it says "Yeah I saved that for you", it should take catastrophic events to lose it again.
MySQL treats data in a best effort way, if what you asked it to do doesn't fly with current config, it reverts to something that looks right enough and go with that.
Consider a database setup, admin installs MySQL with default creates some tables, runs it for a while, decides he needs more log space (transaction), he adjusts the settings and restart MySQL. It starts, everything is peachy. Transactions are running, being committed, he adds more tables, and then suddenly shit hits the fan, he does a rollback, MySQL says ok, but lo and behold, the data is still there...
So what went wrong? When he changed the transaction log size MySQL during start up realized an inconsistency between the actual log file size and the wanted, MySQL can't expand this file on the fly so InnoDB is disabled, MySQL now reverts to MyISAM (I am not kidding, this is what MySQL will do). Any subsequent calls to begin and commit transaction will be accepted with an OK. Any tables created afterward will be accepted, even with explicit engine syntax MySQL will just issue query ok, 1 warning.
Now the warning will tell you that the InnoDB engine wasn't available, so MySQL chose MyISAM instead - however, most aren't aware of this behavior, especially since most programming languages does not support this.
A database should at no point _ever!_ say "OK" to a request for something that can't be handled. If I say begin transaction and something isn't right I want my database to shout on top of its binary lungs that something is wrong and my data isn't safe.
Well they are going to use TPB like it or not, that is pretty much the whole point of the defense in the trial - no one knows what tracker a torrent originated at, tpb just tracks them.
This was most likely a dump site, so this probably means quite a lot of old stuff has gone off the grid now (they make the comparison in movies, but it is more than likely mostly TV shows).
New releases will find a new hub to distribute through, but it will take some time - also often with these raids the "scene" will go a bit underground, disconnect etc. until they are back to a comfortable level where everyone knows each other.
Why do you assume that just because you pay extortion like prices for internet where ever you are in the world that everyone else does the same? This is in Sweden, so he most likely has access to 100mbit connection for around $50 a month (if that pricey) with a truly unlimited plan.
Also 65TB while expensive, isn't that hard to build these days, usually you would do so by picking up server hardware from business going under and just fill them with cheap(er) hardware.
As a sibling pointed out the pinpoint is going to be fairly accurate, 44 cm. radius will however hit 9 people in a packed cinema.
However, if you got 3 screenings a day and a movie running for a month you need to pickup 3*9*30 people to figure out who might have recorded it (ok, they can eliminate some days if it is published before the movie is taken off) - unless of course they have a method of figuring out what day it was.
But the metal detecting thing has already begun, for some screenings you aren't allowed to bring mobile phones and you can actually be picked out to be frisked for mobile phones - this alone has caused me to stop going to the cinemas.
Bolt is out on 720p without the Disney thing, QoS has been out for a fairly long time on ripped DVD as far as I know (haven't really kept an eye on that since I saw it in the cinema and once was enough).
Some time ago at DIKU (Computer Science Institute at Copenhagen University) during one of the yearly project periods for the undergrads a graduate student realized that the processors in the new printers was actually faster than most of the old iron people were working on and were less utilized, so he decided to program his project in PS and distributed it to the printers, now this of course was pretty smart since his computations were running really fast - only problem was he was hogging the printers and preventing some 100 students printing their projects and turning them in.
Most big printers can do Post Script, and PS is a turing complete language, so in theory there is nothing preventing you from making a PS file-sharing program to run on the printers.
Drop in a nice NAS and you got the perfect fall guy.
All of this sounds really clever and all, but where are your sources? It's all fine and dandy that you have these facts, but just like all the other nuts, if you can't prove it you are just adding fuel to the flames (bad pun, I know).
While the numbers are right you should remember this is the average.
Having temperature in periods go 10 degrees past normal is quite a big issue, ever been in 40+ degrees heat? Do you know what happens to your body in that situation? Hell look at the history records for Chicago and Paris and see what happened during their fairly short heat waves.
Thats all fine and dandy, except, where I work someone has to prioritize our assignments, one of those is getting the backup scripts up and working for nightly backups, but so far that job has been prioritized way below adding new fizzbang to the interface.
Currently I'm just grabbing a new snapshot of the database once in a while.
(On the positive side we know we can recover our backups, that at least is verified)
Tried getting the hard drive out from one of them colored CRT Macs back when I was doing IT for a university and needed the drive out for destruction. God those are a pain to disassemble, when I started it I was going for a reusable Mac, but after fighting the damned thing for most of 30 minutes I started using violence to get inside the thing.
But I have never agreed to let them use a picture of me on a commercial, pictures uploaded by friends and family who aren't as conscious about privacy as I am.
Also Facebook will end up in a legal mess with other countries, that TOS won't fly in Denmark for instance.

So what enterprise class DB would you run instead?

If the creator did use Emacs it would come with a decent text editor.
It's not hard, but it's not healthy either. (I do shower every day though, wear clean(ish) clothes)

Think your sarcasm detector needs a bit of tuning.

Puppet starts to crap out after around 16 servers. We got huge problems with its scalability.

Off topic but you would probably enjoy this.

Good thing most of us programmers suck at OO programming, this ensures the patent will never fly.

Informative is quite a good modding in my opinion, had totally forgot about fortune city et. al.
That brings back some memories.
Be glad it's only a fork bomb...
