They are there to provide me with a service. They can judge how much that will cost me by how much I cost them in the past, not how much I might cost them in the future.
You obviously have no idea how car insurance works.
methinks Virgin needs to go look up the definition of a monopoly: "Exclusive control by one group of the means of producing or selling a commodity or service."
There are a dozen online music stores. There are several dozens of portable music players. There are a half-dozen DRM solutions. Apple does not have anything even closely resembling a monopoly in any of these areas.
my domain "openearth.org" expired a couple days ago, but I can still renew it and transfer to anyone who is interested. otherwise I'm just going to "let it go" since I never ended up finishing any projects I had in mind for it, and it'll likely end up being some cyber-squatted site forever or something.
Yes, suicide and homicide is a major issue when it comes to long distance space flights. I think that's really the primary motivator behind this research.
I don't know of a single documented case of either suicide or homicide in space...
someone wake me up after the election. I'm already tired of all 2 of the candidates.
(ps - I once got a fortune cookie message which read: "bears are not the only creatures to benefit from hibernation". it is now my destiny to hibernate in space. NASA? hire me, please...)
fyi, you can use MS Access as an ODBC database without actually installing (or owning) Microsoft Access.
1. Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Data Sources (ODBC) 2. Create a User- or System- level data source.
1. Add
2. Select "Microsoft Access Driver" and click Finish
3. Provide a name and use the 'Create' button to create an MDB file. 3. Connect to the ODBC database using your program of choise (Java, VB, TCL, whatever knows how to talk ODBC -- Java includes a JDBC/ODBC implementation) and create tables, enter data, etc.
This of course works only on Windows. If you're trying to provide a cross-platform tool with a DB, use something like HSQL (if you are programming in Java), or SQLite, Berkeley DB, etc.
Using PHP 5 as a development language, you would gain built-in access to SQLite and Berkeley DB anyway, I'm pretty sure Perl has all kinds of database stuff, and TCL definitely can talk to Berkeley DB (most of my toy cross-platform projects that need a DB are TCL/Tk and Berkeley DB).
hsqldb is a relational database engine written in Java, with a JDBC driver, supporting a rich subset of ANSI-92 SQL (BNF tree format). It offers a small (less than 160k), fast database engine which offers both in memory and disk based tables. Embedded and server modes are available. Additionally, it includes tools such as a minimal web server, in-memory query and management tools (can be run as applets) and a number of demonstration examples.
Another interesting, open source Java database is McKoi SQL Database, a GPL-licensed Java database with all kinds of nifty features.
Mckoi SQL Database is an SQL (Structured Query Language) Database management system written for the JavaTM platform. Mckoi SQL Database is optimized to run as a client/server database server for multiple clients, however it can also be embedded in an application as a stand-alone database. It is highly multi-threaded and features an extendable object-oriented engine.
Things are getting interesting for JBoss developers: JBoss ships with HSQL, supports McKoi nicely, and now we get Cloudscape thrown into the mix. Sweet.
This is just silly. Why not just call it "Cloudscape" for sh* sake. And if you're not going to call it Cloudscape, call it something similar to "Cloudscape" (Apache Tomcat vs. IBM Bobcat) -- not "Derby" which oh yeah makes me think of a Cloudscape-like database...
I've found that, say, writing an app with a lot of code in Oracle PL/SQL, using cursors, etc, means your app will only and forever support Oracle, without a whole lot of re-write and likely re-design.
So unless you like vendor tie-in... stay away from db-specific stored procedures.
Just viewed the source of the pages, easy enough to tell who is lying and who is not. Only 1 was marginally troublesome do to a lot of spaces in the URL which pushed the real domain name far to the right.
one of the things I look for is the actual location of hyperlinks. the online test disables the viewing of the location of the hyperlink in the status bar.
This reminds me of assclowns who throw away garbage at Goodwill and call it charity.
When I do my yearly closet clean-out, there are 2 piles: trash and donate. Usually trash (worn out or stained) wins out over donate (good condition but not my style or size any more) for the biggest pile, because I agree that Goodwill is not a dumpster.

I think you meant to say: HYMN.

unbelievable. some companies deserve to die. I'm certainly not buying another Penguin book after reading that.
I can see the show now:
"Have you got... SPACE DEMENTIA?"

No, I want to work for NASA. I'm sure they will be doing similar research (if they aren't already).

Which is fine, but why 'Derby' is the main question. Bobcat=>Tomcat, Cloudscape=>Derby ?

One difference is that Real didn't hack the iPod (why is everybody saying that?) -- Real hacked the M4P format. Not that I care either way, really.

I'm sick of the incredible waste of money and life which is the war on drugs. Tell you what, your tax money can fund that, mine can fund NASA.
Van Allen comments that 'the only surviving motivation for continuing human spaceflight is the ideology of adventure.'
Good enough for me.
hymn has worked flawlessly for me so far. thanks for the link.
