The question is when I walk into CompUSA, Circuit City, and all those other consumer heavens of electronics.. will I see a HP workstation running RedHat?
Or will it just be an obscure option burried in their website?
What about a nice round of capture the flag Quake(1/2/3), or some Unreal Tournament? I know people who have cut off all social interaction to gain status on those games.
To speak of? It has a not that great replication story... you can write your own data access service/layer. Can do a sync engine easily enough with a couple of boxes IP aliasesed together.
But yeah, not supported, not official, and definitely not out of the box.
Version 4.0 further increases the speed of MySQL Server in a number of areas, such as bulk INSERTs, searching on packed indexes, creation of FULLTEXT indexes, as well as COUNT(DISTINCT).
The InnoDB storage engine is now offered as a feature of the standard MySQL server, including full support for transactions and row-level locking.
Our German, Austrian, and Swiss users will note that we have a new character set, latin1_de, which corrects the German sorting order, placing German umlauts in the same order as German telephone books.
Features to simplify migration from other database systems to MySQL Server include TRUNCATE TABLE (like in Oracle) and IDENTITY as a synonym for automatically incremented keys (like in Sybase). Many users will also be happy to learn that MySQL Server now supports the UNION statement, a long-awaited standard SQL feature.
In the process of building features for new users, we have not forgotten requests by the community of loyal users. We have multi-table DELETE and UPDATE statements. By adding support for symbolic linking to MyISAM on the table level (and not just the database level as before), as well as by enabling symlink handling by default on Windows, we hope to show that we take enhancement requests seriously. Functions like SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS and FOUND_ROWS() make it possible to know how many rows a query would have returned without a LIMIT clause.
I can't wait to test it out... with all the hype it might even give my Postgres a run for its money! It's so nice to see competitive databases freely available. Hand someone a PHP/MySQL book (there's tons) and let get cookin.
Insightful... it all comes down to the user interface, unless you're monopolistic.
Remember the good ole days of editting config.sys and autoexec.bat, tweaking every line to get DOOM or Wolf3d to work on your old 286, 386, or 486? We didn't care about easy interface, it was the only game in town so we did whatever it took.
Today... if anything comes with less than 1 click install shield (on windows), I'm pretty pissed. Even Linux, if anything comes with more than a 1 rpm click, 1 red-carpet click, or what not... it better be pretty cool >:)
Well if we use the new Napster we can make sure to give the music industry what they need: money to make bombs. So maybe in some twisted business relation that download really does indirectly support terrorism by reducing money to the war machine!... Though, we have yet to see proof that music sales are really hurt.
I had jumped at the Agenda PDA, shortly after purchasing my original Palm III. I wasn't too impressed with it and it soon became a dust-collection device in my closet.
Not having a PDA for the past couple years was OK, but then recently I decided to move back to electronic organization of my schedule. In this case, I was looking for features to convince me not to bust out the old Palm3. How does this compete with the new Sony CLIEs or the WindowsCE products?

Geh, clicking 'remove me' only begets more spam.

Don't both /.'ing Amazon.
I would have preferred the CLIE anyway. Did anyone actually make it to one of these bargain bloopers before it went down?

Warcraft by yourself is pretty fun... multiplayer rules.
Duke Nukem by yourself is pretty fun... playing against someone was awesome.
DAOC, EverQuest, heck even all the MUDs that existed were barrels of never-ending fun.
Got User Account?

Production for what? For banks.. maybe not. For mom 'n pop online shops.. sure! And oh yes, even for /.
Maybe in the next one... till then it's postgres for you! ;)
Would it heat up with 2... or more importantly, does it heat up with just 1?
mmMMMMmmm, stored procedures. I like the command line client of postgresql a lot as well. \d is much better than describe .
Sure thing, the last updated news was that Saddam must leave in 48 hours. Enjoy!
What other features might there be?

Now to start some benchmarking...
I couldn't find if this was a Servlet implmenetation, PHP, Perl... interesting to see what they would be using.
Don't forget..
Dark Ages of Penguins
LinuxQuest
OS Craft
Hey now, Tux racer is fun for the whole family!
From the article, they don't appear to have any game ideas yet... I only hope they come up with something good.
I had back surgery when I was 19... badly herniated disk. It hurt bad, I could barely tie my shoes in the morning!
And the article stated this as mild discomfort. Let's hope it's just your every-day "my back hurts" whining, and not the "DAMN DISK!" whining.
But we all saw this line of jokes coming!

It's just one massive web of headache.

You'll have to ask the man with the cigs.
