What? Maybe if you're storing X-Rays in the database. Most users of databases have already figured out that it's just easier to save the file using the file system, and store the path in the database. There are probably only a few instances where it would be beneficial to store large binary files in the database, I can't even think of any off hand.
Actually, I would argue that Oracle DBAs demand more than DBAs for other databases. So you not only have to pay more for the Software itself (a lot more) you also have to pay a lot more for the people who are working with it.
But Oracle has built it's business on selling expensive databases to companies who don't even use all the features. I don't think that even 25% of their customers really need the power of Oracle. Oracle is a great database, but isn't worth it for most people.
Wouldn't that show them just how easy it is to find some of this stuff on the net? Sometimes I think that law enforcement is kind of ignorant to just how easily some things are available on the internet.
I think php usually returns a bunch of bogus results. Anything with url with.php usually shows up. I think the one you missed that is the most apparent is.net. Trying to find stuff on.Net is usually quite hard.
It sounds kind of cool, But I don't think it will work out that way in practice. As it stands now, I remember hearing that even the old ASP.Net had issues with different browsers, and had problems with certain devices (handhelds) and viewstates where if the viewstate was too big then the application wouldn't work.
My thoughts exactly. I cringe to think to what it would be like to maintain an entire web application that did everything in AJAX. Even with a development environment that was built to support AJAX, I think it would still be a nightmare. AJAX is good for little features within a web application, but is not the best way to do the entire application.
If it's anything like the rest of ASP.net...

If it's anything like the rest of ASP.net, It will require that you use Microsoft's wonderful web technology, with __viewstates, and other wonderful features. You won't be able to customize it nearly enough to do a professional job, and will only work for really quick and sloppy applications that don't really need AJAX anyway. I use ASP.Net on a daily basis. We've found the best thing to do is to ignore all the form/component stuff that microsoft has built, and just use tools we have built ourselves, which although they do many of the same features, are much more extensible and easier to use.
I do my taxes by hand, It really isn't that hard. Granted I live in Canada, so things may be a little different. I think that people should be able to do your own taxes. If the average person can't figure out their own taxes, then there's something wrong with the system. You shouldn't have to pay, essentially, a tax every year, just to figure out how much taxes you owe.
Why not have a complete physics card? It would be a nice use for that PCI express bus which only has video cards as an option right now. That way you could just buy the physics card, without having to upgrade the video card. Although this is all kind of weird. Start offloading everything off to specialized cards, you pretty much have a multiple CPU machine, where each CPU is specially tuned to do a specific type of processing. Might be the leap necessary to maintain Moore's law.
Well then why do they make 2000 watt stereo amplifiers? Listening to music at the maximum volume is going to make you deaf, especially if you are right in front of the speakers. Just because you can hurt yourself with a product doesn't mean the product shouldn't exist.
I Have a Micosoft explorer trackball that has 5 buttons. I use the 4th and 5th for copy and paste. Works really well. I don't think I've ever found the third button that useful for much, so I don't really need to use it.
We really have to define what a dictionary word is. Anyone can publish a book and call it a dictionary, and put whatever words they want to in there. I could print a dictionary, and put Microsoft in there, maybe even give a meaning different than the actual company like, "A verb which refers to buying up all your competition and using your vast wealth to drive everyone out of the market". At this point would Microsoft no longer own the trademark?
Am I the only one that finds clicking the mousewheel to be a stupid way of middle clicking. It's right up there with pushing on the control sticks in XBox/PS2 as a button. It's hard to push these buttons without having the scroll wheel/joystick move. Most people aren't even aware you can use these as buttons. I think if you're going to have a third button on the mouse, it should be a real button.
Yeah, a "feature" like this should be able to be turned off, as all the extra close buttons take up extra space on my screen that I don't need. Also, Even with it on, I'd want an "unclose" tab feature, so that you can open a tab back up if you accidentally close it.
I think this is what Fido did in Canada. They started out as digital only, and only in major metropolitan areas. It's amazing just how many people don't really care if it doesn't work when they travel, and only need it when they are in the city. Long distance costs too much anyway, so it would only be for local calls. By covering very little ground, they were able to get a lot of customers. Of course, now I think they were bought out by rogers, but I imagine that a lot of companies could start up small in-city cell phone services, as most people don't need service outside the city. It's nice that Bell has a cross country network, but I go out of the city maybe 3 or 4 times a year, and most of the time, I don't want to be tied to my cell phone anyway.
We have basically the same problem in Canada. It's kind of appauling how bad the choices are for phones sometimes. Here's the major problem I have with contracts. If you sign a contract, you get a phone for a lot cheaper. However, once your contract runs out, and you have essentially paid off your phone, you still can't get better rates. You could switch providers all the time to try to get the best deal, but that's quite a big hassle. Assuming you're going to stay with the same provider, you might as well sign the contract and get a free phone, because if you don't sign the contract, you don't get the phone, and still pay the same amount for service.
Doesn't that make you feel there's something a little wrong with your computer when you have to run 3 separate applications to make you computer safe. Myself, I don't run anti-spyware/anti-virus, except at work when its mandatory( and it's just 1 program) and I have never had a virus. You know how I do this? I don't install random software, I don't go to shady websites, I have a hardware firewall, and I keep my computer updated. This keeps out 99% of the stuff. There are still ways I could get viruses, but most virus writers stick to the easy attack vectors, so i'm not really much of a target.
I rent all my movies through Zip.Ca(canadian netflix) and although most of the discs are readable, I sometimes wonder what people are doing with them. Layers of scum on them is the worst. They still play, but you have to spend quite a while shining them up beforehand.
Where doesn't this memory leak stuff come from. I've been using Firefox all day, with > 5 tabs open at all times, and my memory usage is below 50 Megs.
Where I went to school 70% was a B. A was 80% and above, 60-69 was a C and 50-60 was a D. E was usually below 50%, maybe above 40%, I think they got rid of F because it made people feel bad. I'm not sure where all the +'s and -'s fit in.
I think I heard that safari passed the ACID 2.0 test, and then I hear tons of people complaining that Safari doesn't render things properly. The ACID 2.0 test is not some wonderful test that verifies your browser will render all HTML/CSS content perfectly. You could program your browser specifically to pass the test, and it still may not render everything properly. Reminds me of video card manufacturers tweaking their drivers to get higher frame rates on Quake 3.

If you're really looking for speed, don't even bother reaching for the mouse. Control-W works quite well for closing tabs.

So what you're saying is that they're just trying to make it sound more complicated than it really is?

The E was the failure, and they got rid of the F because it hurt your feelings.
