I didn't know about BSG until I happened to see an episode at a friends, decided to get it from the beginning, its not more than two months ago I watched it from start to end, so yes even a full year after some people might not have seen it, let alone heard about it even though they might have an interest in the series.
You just have to keep in mind that London has quite a lot of cameras, your alibi falters when you aren't on any surveillances footage from where you claimed to be.
How on earth can you conclude that something was not an attack on YATE by searching on Asterix? Thats like saying because a duck can fly chickens can't be birds. And talking about "WP" in general is nonsense. The problem with WP at the moment is it only takes one editor with bias and a personal agenda to get your articles deleted.
And you chasing birds is not my problem, especially since you obviously can't use search engines.
Also: 1. It's not my article, I do however work closely to the person who wrote it. 2. If you read one of the responses to my original post you will see that other telephony systems have had similar problems.
ranks before handling content. As it is now there are strong evidence of bias among editors, causing deletion of useful information - and you can't restore deleted articles, information is lost forever.
One example is the YATE (telephony) article. It got deleted by an editor who is tied with Asterix. On top of that, the user original writing the article had a copy on his own journal - that also got deleted. Now the article might have been substandard, but instead of letting problems being fixed it got downright deleted by someone with a very biased opinion.
Software patents are not honored by the EU patent court nor honored by most member countries. (Which means anyone being challenged about a software patent can get it to European court where such a suit would fail.)
You just can't just float a statement like that saying it's stupid. Why is it stupid to leave all data in one database?
Sometimes its not feasible to divide your data into multiple databases - and what have you actually gained by doing so? Just obscured everything for programmers and maintainers, but nothing gained, if one database is lost the same method would apply for a collection of databases.
All the weak points in data storage apply for a collection of databases as with one central.
The thing is, all it takes is one person to bring down the house of cards. Where I work the data has been locked down tight, with very specific methods for accessing it. This of course only work under the assumption that: 1. I can be trusted 2. The DB software can be trusted (and thus the engineers working on it) 3. The sys-admins doesn't log/know my passwords and abuses them (do you ever check your keyboard for keylogger?) 4. The guy handling the backups doesn't leave them on a train somewhere.
There are loads more ways we can lose our data, if just one of these breaks we are screwed.
And to GP; having VGA out seems to be smarter than DVI, most projectors and screens that support DVI has a VGA input also, so going with VGA should target a broader audience.
I should probably have clarified it. We use Solid for our HA/HP system, their replication scheme is probably the fastest I have seen around.
Hinting a no lock will of course remove any issues, but asking it to remove the locks might not be a good idea, I would certainly have someones head removed if they decided to run without locks on my system.
And we do use explicit cursors, its fast and we get to choose what is dropped when.
About the horizontal scaling, you just made it sound like everything is a piece of cake, when running a HA/HP setup nothing is easy, you have to be very careful stuff breaks easily. The reason why I talked about adding an index is most people are unaware of the fact that an index might make things run quite a bit slower, you might fix one little part of your system, but others might start to go to a grinding halt.
I work as a DBA and have never heard of synonyms, but thats because its a MS SQL specific thing? I have worked a few years as TA on introduction to SQL, and I'm pretty sure none of the books I have mentions synonyms. (Just googled it and it seems to be MS and oracle specific which is DBMS I've never worked with, while I see the usefulness of it, slamming someone for not knowing about them or not wanting to use them is wrong (imo))
Solving locking issues can be very tricky, especially since quite a lot DBMS out there hides how locks are acquired, if you can't look under the hood, figuring out whats wrong is something you would probably pay the DBMS provider to fix.
"... no clue how to configure any kind of horizontal scaling except for replications..."
So its that easy, just point n click next a few times and everything works? Managing multiple write masters (read scaling is trivial) is very hard and can easily lead to transactions working on bad or outdated data, do you have some magic wand that solves this? I sure as hell would like one of those.
"I know close to nothing about database administration,"
But yet you chose to slam someone for not taking the route you want, even though you properly have no idea about what decisions are behind the current setup. Do you have any idea how complicated it can be to change anything on a live database? Just figuring out the performance impact of ADDING an index to a table can be quite a horrendous task. Nothing is simple, especially when the system you are trying to keep alive is an outdated box which probably isn't allowed to be taken off line for updates.
am3 chips should be backwards compatible with am2+, you will however not benefit from improved memory controllers etc.

Is AMD Dead Yet?

Me too, just bought a dual core AMD 64. The price of same type of system from Intel would be about $100 more, which isn't much when spending $1500, but I trust AMD more and I believe them when they say there will be an upgrade path from the AM2+ I bought to newer CPU's. (Assuming they stay afloat long enough). Intel however have no such guarantee and I had a very tough time figuring out what CPU went with which boards.
Don't mod him down, its quite a funny video, even if its Norwegians making fun of us:)
Parent does have a point, even within small countries like Denmark the local dialect can be hard to understand, if you drive from Copenhagen to Southern Jutland (around 200km away) the dialect changes so much it might as well be a different language.
Where exactly did I say it was worthy of a patent? We don't have software patents where I live, I was just pointing out that even something simple as that - and the stuff you mention are in fact algorithms.
Why exactly isn't One-click an algorithm? It covers an algorithm where a single click gets translated into an order. An algorithm is a set of well defined instructions to complete a task, one-click fits nicely into this.

downloaded any music illegally in the past 5 years, why should I get taxed?
And what about compensation for porno producers, movies and tv shows?

Search for "Yate" returns well over 2 million results, with the telephony engine ranked highest. Yate telephony returns 281.000 results.
Nice flame bait though.

I for one have stopped using wikipedia.
No, illegal would make it criminal to have one.

You forgot to blame Canada.
but it costs an arm and a leg, consumers want cheap, they get what they pay for.

That would require at least a few caring about the Vista they bought.

Neither.
If it weren't for the US half the wars in the 20th century wouldn't have happened.
Oh and you might want to read up on the actual history of WWII, not what you gather from games or fox news.

Yes often, even when at work. Its also no secret that I hate my top boss.
Lying on taxes is pretty much a national trait around here (Denmark), so again yes - some of us have no worries.
But I do despise the fact that someone can listen in on stuff, even though most of what we do is no secret, its still something that annoys me.

Still maths, its in the same category as Hollywood accounting.
