Yet another dup...
Digg [digg.com] is looking better and better...
I've tried reading news from Digg, but it seems to be filled with all sorts of nonsense or "no-news" stories. I've also tried "digging" for new stories and got quickly frustrated with the amout of spam, flame, and othr junk submitted as a story. Given the average quality of stories in the "digg area", the sories promoted to the main page are very good. However comparing an average "digg" story to an average./ story, I concluded that "digg" is not ready yet to be a regular news source.
Thanks, I'm not interested in MySQL performance anymore.I have made transition from MySQL to PostgreSQL since the beginning of MySQL SCO collaboration.
If not, then I'd like to post a question on how to choose a stapler. There are so many of them, but some seem not fully compatible with HP paper. Also, my sister likes staplers that are pink. Which brand you slashdotters whould advise to buy?
* MySQL:
o Native Windows version
o Large base of compatible applications and software
o Easy to get running
* PostgreSQL:
o Fast yet with an incredible feature set
o Excellent data integrity (vital for serious database work!)
o Very, very stable and reliable

I was writing an e-mail to Executive editor of Ziff Media asking for explanation on backward news changes, when the google cache was apparently updated. Nothing ever happened! Freedom is slavery. Peace is war.
Thank you for contacting Sigma Designs and requesting information that relates to our MPEG-4 CODEC and the availability of its source code. We would like to take this opportunity to address the relevant issues that have been raised.
To begin with, Sigma developed an MPEG-4 CODEC to assist in the proliferation of MPEG-4 content and to ensure that users can create content libraries compatible with the ISO MPEG-4 video specifications and its implementation in silicon. Fulfilling this goal was carried out in two steps. The first was the introduction of an MPEG-4 CODEC, provided free of charge, so that worldwide users could begin encoding new content. The second was the release of source code, so that the development community could continue with technical improvements. Sigma never intended in making, nor realized, any profits from this code base.
Several weeks after the CODEC was first released, Sigma was contacted by the XVID development team regarding the use of certain portions of their code. Upon examination, it was determined that one of our programmers, unbeknownst to management and contrary to Sigma's policy, had utilized some routines posted by XVID as open source. During the past four weeks, Sigma had communicated with XVID to resolve the situation. As a result, Sigma has decided to make the current version of the MPEG-4 CODEC available under the GPL license.
Sigma is a supporter of the Linux operating system, appreciates the work being done by the open source community, and continues to issue certain other code under open source arrangements. Though we believe that we have acted as expediently as possible, Sigma Designs sincerely apologizes to the open source community for this inadvertent use of GPL code and for the several weeks it took to resolve the situation.

Linux Journal Is Currently Unavailable Due to a Denial of Service (DoS) Attack
That is "we will not be posoning our P2P network and will not be spreading our custom made viruses"
Proper name would be "Crippleware editions"

MySQL and Oracle compare like dolphin and SSN Seawolf.

is the best utility to improve windows overall. Why would /. be a place for free market research for MS?
One word: Erratum.
Simple matter of respect to a reader.
I was writing an e-mail to Executive editor of Ziff Media asking for explanation on backward news changes, when the google cache was apparently updated. Nothing ever happened! Freedom is slavery. Peace is war.
I wrote to Sigma asking for source code and got the following reply,
which indicates they don't want further conflicts:
