Psst, did ya read the article? They are talking about the thing moving 7 times faster than the rovers vehicle. Something that survives areobraking at one speed, might become a crispy piece of toast at 7 times that speed.
So that whole Tiananmen Square Massacre thing was just a hoax, right? And that kid who stood in front of the tank is alive and well and wasn't really disappeared? Gotcha.
Those would be expected to only allow access to the DB server via SSH only, otherwise the DB server be totally blocked from talking to anything but the webserver which should reside in a separate DMZ.
Having an SQL port directly accessible to the internet is NOT professional.
You find that strange? There are tons of apps out there written only for MySQL as well. If you want to use somthing that keeps your data more intact (like Postrgres) you are screwed because you will just have to install/support MySQL if you need that app.
It would be nice if application developers made their apps database agnostic, but it rarely seems to happen.
So if you don't like that games aren't made for the OS of your choice and only for windows, don't buy the games from those companies. You are only supporting their habit of making games only for windows.
And if you are pirating the games, then you are just a damn thief, so stop trying to attribute your theft to some 'moral' objection to microsoft.
Wow, some beta software doesn't work entirely well. Yep, that's pretty much 'spot on'. Great. Do you think he has any other great insights to make? Do you really think they are worth a slashdot article?
Microsoft sells a database (SQL 2000) as one of their major products. Sun boasts about it's Oracle ties. Think there might be some other reason than stability that Oracle's marketroids might push the Solaris platform instead of Windows...?
The stored procedure definitely should wrap up the whole operation in a transaction. You can then also set security on the tables so that only the transaction can be run on them, and no user (including the web user) can directly write to them. That forces all changes to come through the sane transaction you have set up in the stored procedure, and prevents half-assed changes being made to your tables.
This is why end users (web pages) should only talk to stored procedures and not directly to tables. This is where many MySQL users get bad data silently going into their database. They often write directly to the tables.
The other thing is most of them don't seem to use InnoDB tables which offer transactions, instead they use MyISAM tables because they are 'faster'(who cares about data integrity?)or don't realize they are using MyISAM (You can tell MySQL to make an InnoDB table, but if it decides it can't it will make a MyISAM table instead and won't throw up a warning error when that happens). So sometimes errors will creep in when only part of a change goes into the system. Transactions are good. Use them.
2) A private citizen needs to use the cops gun to defend themself? How often do you think the circumstance crops up where a private citizen stumbles upon a downed cop, retrieves the gun and use it against the bad guy? Do you really think it's even within two orders of magnitude of the frequency of times when a bad guy tries to take a gun away from a cop and use it against him?
So you know the exact temp at which your particular RAM modules become unstable? No, it's trial and error to find out. For that job you already have a couple temp sensors on your motherboard you can go by to see how hot things are.
Big aluminum fins on that RAM would cool it and make it capable of running faster. That block of plastic with LEDs and crap in it is just blocking airflow and holding the heat into your RAM.
Just like rice on a car just adds weight and decreases performance, this thing is blocking cooling and prevents you from hitting the potential speed you could run stably at.
Once again, all show, no go.
If you are into bling, fine. Just don't pretend it's actually making you faster.

Chlorine isn't good for you, but Sodium metal and water are a lot worse. BOOM.
Well yeah, but did you ever try to shove one of those into an inkjet printer to label it? It's not pretty.

No, but I think I've got it running on my camera.

You are wrong either way.
VMS/OpenVMS admins have been doing that for a long, long time...
I think you mean "boycotting the MPAA with the exception of any Matrix or LOTR movies". What? hypocrites here on slashdot? Never!
There already is one. OpenVMS

You don't need a password to reformat it and start fresh.
A lot better floating point performance, if that's what you need for whatever particular applications you use.

Why should they use a different microkernal for it? It's not like they have a huge monolithic kernal they need to try to stuff into a tiny device.

I take it you've never run Oracle in a large enterprise. The extra money is well worth it for the enterprise features. Those are the main difference.

As a member of the Alliance, I demand to know what happened in sector 83x9x12!
Isn't telling everyone that he likes Daredevil, Red Planet and Miss Congeniality enough of a punishment? Oh the humiliation.

About your webserver... Stick a fork in it. It's done.
