Wouldn't know, I don't work for TPC. Besides, from experience in the performance business, you can make the numbers look any way you want. Not saying tpc is biased, but sometimes things don't necessarily add up. And since when are TPC benchmarks reality?
And that may be because DB2 is the fastest commercial database out there right now. I work in the performance group of a database platform independant development shop. I have not profiled MySQL, so I cannot say what its performance characteristics are, but M$ has absolutely NO business badmouthing ANY other vendor's database product. M$ SQL is the biggest POS I have ever seen. DB2, Oracle and Sybase beat its pants off all day long.
If one of your employees was walking around the office with a set of keys from home trying to get into all of the managers offices, would someone have a problem with that? I mean, putting a key in a lock is really a harmless thing, right?
What "valid" use does a developer have with a port scanner on my network (outside of the development labs)? BTW, the feds have been called in at places I work for less than that. I'm assuming you work in academia or something?
Question is, who do you work for? Unless you are hired as a security consultant most companies frown upon port scanning. Port scanning itself does not cause a lot of problems, but the results can be used for nefarious purposes. The company I work for (as would the last 3) would have walked him out the first time, and any company that doesn't is foolish.
Good racket... not to mention the $15k minimum annual fee. Where I come from that sounds like extortion. Small companies that integrate mp3 players with their products for minimal functionality really get screwed by this. Are they supposed to now add that to the license fees they charge their customers?
This is a fantastic suggestion! Show her you care, and buy North American diamonds. Besides, I suspect anyone delving too deeply into De Beers' business will find themselves walked off a short pier.
I'm sorry, I must have been in a coma during the K5-486 merge. Or maybe the K5 was a 586 clone... hmmmm.... I agree, and I am a hardcore Unix bigot, but there is a big difference between the 486 mentioned above, the supporting chipset glue running alongside it, and the AMD K5 architecture.
On the other hand (I think there is automatic modding down of Linux bashing), RedHat is VERY easy to install now, but when my mother calls with a printer problem on her Windows XP box it is a little easier to troubleshoot than Linux. I have been using Linux since pre.99, but it has always been a hacker swiss army knife more than a usable OS for the masses. Which should be cool with the folks that read this board, do you really want the same OS your grandparents use? I think we need to spend less time trying to convince the computer unsavvy to use Linux and more time making Linux work with the M$ crap. And of course, there is OS X. I'm sure that if any of us could afford that hardware we would burn all of these PCs in a pile. Maybe I'm just speaking for myself here.
...but no thanks. I like the CGI in Star Wars, etc., but on the whole I kind of like actors who are ALIVE! I just don't think computers make good actors... maybe it's just me.
Good point. Maybe we should start following these folks and catch them in the act of receiving payola. You have to believe they are not paid for their services via campaign contributions alone. After all, Big John says "Watch your neighbor", which may or may not translate directly to "Love thy neighbor, but slit his throat if his theology isn't straight." And after all, these are the same clowns making the laws that track us every time we go to the can. I'm sure there are all kinds of tidbits of information in those systems about them.
I love a system where they mod you down because they don't agree with what you say. How is saying "This story is crap" flamebait exactly? Maybe you should mod the STORY down!
If they sent a nuclear missile from Italy targeted to the US, would that be a crime? The fact is that they silenced an opinion that was being expressed in the USA, they clearly violated the First Ammendment.
So does this mean as a US citizen I can post kiddie porn on foreign sites without doing anything illegal? I suspect the feds would disagree, and I suspect they would remove the content.

Speaking of losing faith in university education... I hate it when network traffic gets stuck in the cue...

And besides, who gives a shit what Nokia thinks. Does anyone stay awake at night wondering what is in Nokia's little brain.
Yes, yes I have, and probably every person that responded to this post in an adult fashion ;)
Man, that makes me feel better. I was thinking the EXACT same thing. Any time you have women moaning involved with computers is a good time.

or any other machine-to-machine applications
Doesn't that pretty much cover ALL network based activity? No more lawyers writing TOS please.

Ummm... two NICs?

So, let me get this straight. CMU sold some land. CMU bought some land. How exactly is this news?
NOT supported features: Collations Hot stand by Failover is a good thing...
You missed one: - Nietzsche is God - The Dead
But that was not the case here. The citizen lived in a country where posting the material was illegal.

Okay, this is great! Now where the fuck is Weird Science on DVD? My original Blockbuster PVT is fading into dust.
And the other part is, what happens when the data in the database changes before the cache TTL expires?
Good design, but how do you keep the cache valid?
I'm assuming Slashdot falls into the "mindless link propagation" category...
