Sorry for the delayed reply - been busy this past week. This is under RH9.2. I was not aware of an out of memory issue with hashed aggregates, so I suppose that could be related... what would be the easiest way to check? I have noticed though that any type of backend crash under Linux results in all the other backends being told to restart due to possible corrupted shared memory... does that not occur under other OS'?
I really like PG, but I have not found it to be "very" stable. Fairly stable, but not perfectly. We are running 8.0.3 with a fairly small (few hundred K rows) dataset, with fairly light access, and have had decreased stability since upgrading beyond the 7.4 series. I actually found a query a couple months back which would kill it every time for no obvious reason, though I couldn't duplicate it with other similar queries so I'm not sure what the cause was. I like some of the newer features, but I'm missing the 7.4 series....
No, the IDers do not say it is too complex for science to understand, they say it is too complex to have evolved by itself by chance. Two completely different things, though the latter is not necessarily any more true.
How do you figure? It's not like the contract specifies that he can't work in any programming/IT job (I'm assuming, the contract wouldn't hold up if that were the case I'm sure) - he just can't work in a competing one. I'm sure he's more than capable of working in many other IT jobs in the meantime... so he's not exactly being denied from making a living.
Well, oil sands have been profitable for some time now. Alberta is doing very well for itself thanks to that. See here and here for the first links I ran into regarding it. At around $12.50CDN a barrel to produce it, with the cost per barrel on the market well above $40, they're doing very nicely and have plenty of reserves.
I thought the difficulty with getting specs for wireless cards was related to FCC testing. The cards are tested at certain signal strengths/etc, and the implication is that with the specs rather than just a compiled driver, you could easily play with those settings and make it perform outside of its intended/tested ranges (or maybe that was for the wireless routers themselves? hmm).
Who knows... I could be wrong, I just seem to recall reading something along those lines in a prior story thread some time ago...
Every few weeks? I don't know about full fledged tightening for the entire thing, but I know at the Mindbender rollercoaster in West Edmonton mall they have a maintenance period after every 4-6 runs or so where they go along it and check/replace bolts if needed.
Yeah, I understand irony perfectly well and I wasn't disputing that, I just misread what he was saying. The way his comment is worded made it sound like he was referring to Alberta/Calgary as some sort of solar area which doesn't make sense. As usual, I realized the way he meant it shortly after posting and felt like an idiot.:)
What does solar have to do with the destination? Alberta is known for oil and gas, and some wind turbines as well in some select areas... As a resident of Calgary, I haven't a clue what you're on about.
That aside, I really wish the link hadn't died within the first minute... it would be interesting to see when/where they're coming in so I could have a looksee.
Doesn't affect them? Have you ever USED one of those virus/trojan ridden boxen? Slower than molasses, more unstable than a short halflife isotope... I'm sure the "lusers" would happily clean up their boxen if they had a clue how or even realized their machines were virus and trojan ridden.
Well, I don't know about balance global region-wise, but a little creative interpretation of that information suggests that using them for biodiesel would actually help with global warming..... maybe.
I'm not really sure what your point is. That's irrelevant to what I was pointing out, which is that they called bittorrent legitimate technology. I don't see how their use of the word shopping has anything to do with that...
One thing that's nice to see in the ICE press release is this (emphasis added):
"ICE and the FBI have shut down a group of online criminals who were using legitimate technology to create one-stop shopping for the illegal sharing of movies, games, software and music."
Do you have trouble understanding people? I was not suggesting you were an odd one out for enjoying them; I was suggesting you were the odd one out for feeling the need to be an ass by making a reply like that with no point beyond trying to attack me. The OP made a comment, I replied to it. Your post added absolutely nothing but an attack on me.
In any event, you say that as though I weren't in the group of people who did thoroughly enjoy them. I may not have enjoyed every single little paragraph in them, but they're still excellent books. I would not have bothered to reply to the OP in the first place if that were not so. However, parts of the reading are pretty heavy and boring for people with no interest in long lists of geneology/etc, whether you care to believe or realize that or not.
It is amazing you felt the need to be a dick and make an utterly pointless reply to my comment. The OP mentioned the LotR books and I was just pointing out that the entire trilogy wasn't entirely the same and they could still be enjoyable. At least two other posters posted essentially the same response as well - guess you're the odd one out.
Hmm, I don't know that he was an atheist in his later life. I'd always thought he was Christian, but apparently he was closer to Catholic. While looking for information I discovered this rather lengthy response Q&A session about Tolkien and Lewis from a Christian. The first few question/answers don't have much information but the final response is fairly lengthy and goes into a fair bit of detail about their actual beliefs/etc.
I had a great deal of trouble reading LotR myself for basically the reasons you've described. That and all the geneology. That said, after getting past about halfway in the first book it picked up somewhat and I found I could skim over that junk and still enjoy the story/get into it more.
It's been so long since I've read it, but one of the later books describes how the cabinet/closet came about. It was actually made from the wood of the tree - at least an extension of the tree. Someone? brought back an apple from the tree to save his sick mother, and a tree grew from the seed of said apple, which was made into the cabinet after the tree died, etc.
They're the first book(s) that I have any memory of reading on my own at least. I'm sure my dad read them with me originally. I actually reread some of them a year or two and was amazed at how short they actually are. They seemed huge back then... It wasn't quite the same as reading them as a kid, I guess my imagination has shrunk some...
I don't know about them, but I saw H2G2 tonight and I was quite let down. Oh it had its funny moments... but they were just that, moments. The overall feel of the thing was just quite boring. I thought it was better than the original movie, but it just had so many dumb/"oh, ha.. ha.." moments... it didn't live up to my expectations, and I didn't even really have any major expectations. here's hoping serenity will come out better (though it can at least fall back on action rather than trying for a laugh the whole way through)...

Well, no, they're not. Serenity is a movie based on the cancelled FireFly series.

Yeah, so? Didn't say I agreed with that poor piece of wording. That still has nothing to do with them saying bittorrent is legitimate technology.

Right, and you're doing any less? You've yet to post anything remotely meaningful. You seem to like insulting people though...
Right, because when people have no interest in something you like, they must be a cry baby with ADD.

Then you obviously never played it with fast hook enabled... Q2 FreezeTag with fast hook got pretty insane... I miss those days..
