I've personally experienced the first two cases, first one in DDO and the second one in EVE, both times I've stopped playing the game.
DDO had to do a rollback; the reasons for it sounded very fishy, took them almost a month to figure out how to compensate people, and when they did those getting the compensation wasn't the necessarily the same being hit by the rollback (they rolled back data from a single day holiday (a Thursday) and the compensation also happened to be on a Thursday.
EVE (rightfully) decided some guns was way too powerful back in the early days, however, there was no warning, the servers went down for usual maintenance and when they came back up your guns had been replaced, now this might not seem to be such a big deal, and it wouldn't have been if they had warned us - what happened in my case was I was in a 0.0 system where I could defend myself with the old guns, the new ones was woefully underpowered compared to the pirates in the area, I had no chance of getting away from the area and lost my ship.
Both cases left me unimpressed with their handling of problems and let me to go play other games.
no no no no NO, never regret, personally I've screwed up more than I care to count, but those screw ups let to the person I am today; wouldn't have it any other ways.
(oh on a side note, any one else done stupid stuff as 15 years old that would get you caught up in the anti terror laws today?)
Actually the PS3 is pretty annoying in that regard, had to go buy me a standalone DVD player since the PS3 Hypervisor prevents me from playing any region DVDs on it. Thus far I have found no work around, so it seems like Sony figured out how to do it proper.
Because you guys let him stay in power, one screw up we would be able to handle, but letting him getting into office again - with the absurd rulings and no revolution going down has left the rest of us wondering if the US population should be the only ones having a say in who rules your (once) great country.
However you are probably going to find yourself a bit unwelcome (depending on who gets elected in a month) (US=Bush=unfriendliness), and on top of that we got some very strict immigration rules (which suck).
Well Denmark is spending more than that per month.
Having such a suit means the elderly can get up and down stairs by themselves, go shopping on their own - that means freeing up workers and giving companies more people to hire, while we are currently feeling a bit of pain due to the financial crisis we still have more job offerings than people to hire.
Well it wont help in places where elderly are expected to take care of themselves - however in the civilized parts of the world where the government takes care of their elderly and disabled this will have huge benefits for all.
PostgreSQL does not support any of these, they are all add on. On top of that none of them are viable for critical environments, some work by replicating through triggers, some work as a middle layer, none of them can guarantee your data in case of primary failure, and none of them has proper sub second fail over (except for Sequoia who doesn't support triggers and procedures) - trust me I've been researching this extensively and there are no FOSS databases that handles this.
Postgresql is a nice database, however in this day and age, a database must support clustering in some way or other, unless they get working on at least a replicating service they wont take off.
So instead of changing a database, putting in the same SP's your suggestion is to have 100's of coders changing all the dynamic SQL?
Also using dynamic SQL means any programmer within the organization can do whatever the f*** he wants, and trust me, most people have no idea what they are doing with databases.
No matter what DB you chose you are going to be tied in whether you use SP's or "dynamic" SQL.
If you go for SP's you have the benefit of only having to port the database - not the programs, the reason? Calling stored procedures are on most databases the same so you could in theory just port the database and the application layer would be none the wiser.
Well I can only related to local rules, and in Denmark you would have been equal at fault even if he ran the red light. (Both would be fined (if survived))
And no "my" rules would not have get me killed, I would have waited till he passed and set in motion.
Just like the sibling your story makes little sense - if the guy decided to run the red light going at speed, there is no way you could accelerate fast enough to get out of the way. More likely you misjudged the situation putting in motion to early. Also if you aren't absolutely sure the other guy is stopping you sir are in fact at fault for setting in motion before the way is clear - even if the law gives you the "right" to set in motion, it usually states that you have to make sure the way is clear.
And your story makes no sense to me. Probably more likely you ran a yellow already speeding, else you are claiming to have accelerated enough to put about 3-5 m. of distance extra within the area of 5-10 m. If you where going at the right speed chances are you could have avoided the collision all together by using the left pedal...
Slashdot Mirror
leaves me wondering why they put a kid in charge of a space ship...
Except the data in question can be deleted.
Gonna be real fun when the local script kiddie turns your house into a disco.
I was thinking the same, "that will teach them to buckle up".
I do feel bad for those buckled in who got hit by the assholes flying through the cabin though. Also for the poor smuck on the toilet.

Yes, but a bit customer that can't pay it's debt.
Also on a different note; with the current crisis Europeans aren't exactly looking to spend money.
Why don't you guys go and explain that to the people of Iraq and Afghanistan?
I seem to recall you guys went on a crusade all because of one (or two) men.

Not quite sure what you want.

And you are telling me this why?
as I clearly state in my replies, there is no FOSS solution that handle this.
No I'm not kidding.

Then you my friend, are only using MySQL as an advanced file pointer.
Simple things like firing triggers during cascading events, ensuring the client gets the engine he requested are features MySQL does not have.
MySQL is a nice toy database, but until they change from best effort to ensuring our data, it should never be used for anything critical.
So instead of changing a database, putting in the same SP's your suggestion is to have 100's of coders changing all the dynamic SQL?
Also using dynamic SQL means any programmer within the organization can do whatever the f*** he wants, and trust me, most people have no idea what they are doing with databases.
Give me SP's any time.
That's a load of crap.
No matter what DB you chose you are going to be tied in whether you use SP's or "dynamic" SQL.
If you go for SP's you have the benefit of only having to port the database - not the programs, the reason? Calling stored procedures are on most databases the same so you could in theory just port the database and the application layer would be none the wiser.
He is (most likely) American, they only get two pedals (one for each brain cell).
Thanks for clarifying that - in my opinion one of the more sane laws being made and I would like for it to get to EU level.
Totally agree, but it seems the world is full of irresponsible drivers (and quite a lot of them attend slashdot...)
