    it's a simple contract that defines (or should define) all interaction between human beings.

    Clearly you've not taken the course either. There's a lot more to ethics than social contract theory.

    In fact, I know of several people implementing n-tier applications with PHP on the front, Python in the middle and PostgreSQL in the back with much success.

    Also PHP -> PL/PgSQL -> Postgres

    I count PL/PgSQL and postgres different tiers because they have different functions and in the case of one system I'm working on all database interactions are moderated by PL/PgSQL stored procedures. They could just as easily be PL/Python or PL/Perl stored procedures if I wanted them to be.

  15. Re:If I may flaunt my ignorance... on Analyst Doubts Intel's Dual-Core Demo · · Score: 4, Informative
    So the difference between this and a chip having double the transisitors is?

    The more transisters you put in a processor, the farther the signals have to travel, which reduces clock speed. Using 2 cores on one die improves locality of reference, which lets you use a higher clock speed.

    Also, dual processor system (whether on the same die or not) perform better for multi-task applications (with both lightweight (threads) and heavyweight (no shared memory) tasks). UNIX like systems tend to see more benefit from this than VMS or Windows NT/2000/XP based systems, because they tend to have more processes.

    Designing a more complex CPU is a harder task than simply joining two pre-existing designs, especially if your design has a built-in memory controller (as the Opteron does).

  19. Gentoo... maybe kinda... on Linux Standard Base 2.0 released · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Certification of gentoo is almost certainly out of the picture, as you can't know from one system to annother which libraries are installed.

    This might be an interesting use for slots though. Someone could build a series of ebuilds that require the specific library versions that the LSB specifies, and keeps them in slots (so they're not unmerged when they're upgraded). Then a Gentoo user who has emerged "LSB-Base" would have a decent chance to be able to run any LSB 2.0 requiring binary package.
