Narrator: In A.D. 2005, transaction was beginning.
Captain: What happen ? Programmer: Somebody set up us the MySQL. Operator: We get signal. Captain: What ! Operator: Main screen turn on. Captain: It's you !! MySQL: How are you gentlemen !! MySQL: All your money are belong to user 127. MySQL: You are on the way to destruction. Captain: What you say !! MySQL: You have no chance to ACID, make your backup. MySQL: Ha Ha Ha Ha.... Operator: Captain !! * Captain: Take off every Table!! Captain: You know what you doing. Captain: Move Table. Captain: For great justice.
And if its in your code, the query executes using the resources of the machine running your code, as opposed to the resources of that (usually) bigged database server.
This is so wrong it made my head explode. All queries are executed in the server. Stored procedures are compiled and optimized once (per connection, and most sites use connection pooling).
Mini-ITX Boards are available with Dual CPU, HW random number generator, AES & 3des acceleration, dual fast NICs, and multiple SATA connectors....
I can think of a few applications where this combination would roxor a Mac-Mini, even if the 2 CPUs together have slightly lower flops than the Mac-mini's single CPU.
I was thinking of starting a company building special application machines based on these, but life got in the way.
"Restauranteur" saw a high profile exec and thought he could charge 6-figures for "services" at his strip club, and the exec would be too afraid for his reputation to pay. The implication is that more than exotic dancing went on.
create table accounts ( id serial not null primary key, owner int references customer, type int references accounttype, ballance numeric(18,2) );
JournalEntries shows the date, time, type, who, etc of each transaction
create table JournalEntries ( id serial not null primary key, when timestamp not null default now(), ttype int not null references transactiontypes, whodid int not null references users ); revoke update, delete from public;
JournalLines shows part of each transaction
create table JournalLines ( trans int references JournalEntries, acct int references accounts, change numeric(18,2), primary key (trans,acct) ); revoke update, delete from public;
After All transactions, the sum of JournalLines(change) must be zero, and all account ballances must equal the sum of the changes to that account. No changing or deleting of past transactions is allowed, only compensating transactions if an error is found.
An ATM withdrawl would be:
subtract from owners account add to withdrawls
subtract from cash in machine X add to withdrawls from machine X
This would normally be done by a stored procedure that also checks the PIN, etc. The DB user that machines, etc connect as would only have access to run stored procedures, not change the journal directly.
The same way Americans think Absolutely Fabulous, Are You Being Served?, Waiting for God, Monty Python, As Time Goes By, Red Dwarf, Benny Hill, The Young Ones and Keeping Up Apperances are funny.

yes, there is something worse... covering up the error messages so even you don't know about the bugs (seriously... I have to work on someone else's code and everywhere I turn there's a SERIOUS security issue.)
In the future there may be only wireless service for consumers, due to lower cost of deployment. Given a certain spectrum width, wireless has less data carrying capacity due to the need for agressive noise correction. Also, with wireless you can't increase capacity by laying a second piece of coax or fiber beside the first. In congested areas (neighbourhoods of large apartment buildings, etc), the combination of high use, high RF noise, and complex surfaces (walls, etc) could seriously tax WiMAX. Fortunately these same areas are where the cost of deployment for coax and fiber is lowest.
Strangely, I'm used to the flexibility and power of KDE (about 4 years) and command-line (10 years) interfaces on Linux and have used extensively Windows (2.0-XP), DOS, and VMS interfaces, and yet I've never found Mac OS X/Aqua (been using it about 8 months) to be simplistic or very limiting*. Perhaps those users are either expecting an interface that gets in the way, or they are unable to accept change.
(* X11 apps are a bit cludgey on OS X, ssh-agent doesn't persist across terminal windows automatically, there doesn't seem to be a finder equivalent to KDE's fish://, and it took a while to get used to not having every mouse selection automatically on the clipboard. None of these concerns are likely to be relevant to windows users making the transition.)
This will almost certainly lock Linux/BSD users out of online banking, and probably will lock out Mac users too.
Banks could much more portably just start requiring signed client certificates. For windows users they could be stored on a USB keyfob instead of the HDD for slightly better security. Users of other systems could set it up that way if they wanted, but implementastion on FreeBSD or whathaveyou would be left to the client.
It is a good idea for host login, though. CF the article in the November 2005 issue in Linux Journal, and this thread on the gentoo forums (and my journal post from yesterday too).
The molicules you've mentioned are only chemical hazards. Asbestos, buckytubes, etc are large enough to be physical hazards. IE they might slice through several cells without reacting with anything, thus ensuring that they persist. And they can slice through any structure, not just specific chemicals like enzymes and prions do.
Because this method of the conversion from chemical potential energy to electricity to kinetic energy is way, way more efficient than the conversion of chemical potential energy to heat to kinetic energy.

Lower Costs too.

It's called a Journal. You'll find it in any first semester accounting textbook.
And the portion of British Columbia between the continental divide and the Alberta border.
Then you really only have 2 options:
1) Set your clock to GMT. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to sleep in till 1 in the afternoon every day, and still be on time for work?
2) Set your clock based on a measured local noon (time of highest sun) and adjust it daily to keep in sync.

Oh yeah, that'd be handy if it could interface with my scanner rather than RAW files. (I shoot big film then scan later)
Mac Mini, eMac, and iBook are their low-end models. No, they're not everything a Mac can be. The reason is obvious. They are low-end models.
