Data processing system (
Verbal communication) using substantially unique identifiers (words) to identify data items (complex real life objects), whereby identical data items (complex real life objects) have the same identifiers (names).
Plain silly, but patentable because the method involves computers. I just hope someone doesn't patent basic concepts of natural languages.
Keyhole demonstation of street -level zoom has very interestingly distorted perspective.
AFAIK parallel lines should appear parallel when seen from far, far away (where satellites normally are).
Pay attention to corners of skyscrapers at the crossing of Copper ave and 3rd Street.
Building corners are normally vertical, which also means they are parallel, but the angle between the upper right skyscraper and lover left building is just too BIG.
This makes me believe that this image was not taken from a sattelite (not even low-orbiting one), but from a much lower altitude, and Keyhole may be decieving people with such advertising.

What's not right, must be either left or wrong.
They thought that they surely can't be wrong, so they made 3 not right things (=aka lefts to them) to make it right again by raiding:
Well, I am sure Mr Gates doesn't really care about his honorary PhD being discredited, because he made no academic efforts to get it.
He wrote no thesis nor took any lab notes whatsoever.
Sure, a primary goals of Makumba is to keep things as simple as possible, not offering bells and whistles (non-standard 'SQL' extensions) of various DB engines.
Instead, Makumba uses standard OQL on the application layer, and transoforms it into standard SQL when communicating with the DB server. Moreover, it also speaks SQL dialects to accomodate various DB engine particularities when absolutely needed.
All the non-standard SQL extensions tend to fool the application developers into writing DB dependant code, locking themselves effectively down to the specific DB engine.
Compiere now (ab)uses this to raise funds from developers who realized that specific DB engine is overly expensive, and are willing to pay some $$$ ("donation") to get away from it, to potentially save more money and/or stay competitive/in business.
It should be written DB independently in the first place - depending on a specific DB engine is a design bug, that they are trying to fix only now, with donations.
DB independence is a big deal, but surely isn't something new....
Eg. Makumba TagLibrary is DB independent - can work with MySQL, Informix, PostgreSQL, DB/2, Quadcap embedded DB...
