So you are saying in terms of the art world the only measure of success is money? I call bullshit. In business he sure has won big, but not as a moving maker. And that was the point of the OP. So your comment is off base.
I really liked the first Starwars movie that came out (Episode IV for you anal retentive types), as well as enjoyed the second that came out. But when he figured out that marketing would make him even more money than a well done and still very profitable movie, he began his epic failures with the ewoks. They ruined the third movie for me and I can't watch it (I could overlook Mark Hamel's bad acting but the ewoks jumped the shark. The rest of the movies just sucked shit.
I wish the studio hadn't given Lucas the marketing rights. Then the last four Starwars movies he did would be worth watching more than once. Hopefully he loses more court cases like this and decides to redo those movies properly. i.e. so they don't have so many stupid gimmicks like ewoks and jar jar movie ruiner (I'd like to sue Lucas for the money I spent on the tickets and popcorn for episode 1... and I never went to the theatre for the last two).
From the "National Coffee Association of America" web site, Your brewer should maintain a water temperature between 195 - 205 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal extraction. So you are wrong, the temperature they brewed and served it at was the right one (assuming they sell enough to be constantly brewing it so it doesn't cool down much if at all). If you are an idiot and place a hot coffee between your legs in a moving car, you are going to get burned. Maybe you are too delicate to drink hot drinks, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be prepared and served in the most optimal way for flavour. If the drink is too hot, let it cool down. But don't stick it between your legs while you are waiting and then sue someone for your fucking stupidity.
If someone can sue because they burned themselves due to their own carelessness with a hot cup of coffee at a McDonalds drivethrough, and win... Need I say more?
How long before someone in America (with the highest percentage of ambulance chasing lawyers) tries to file a lawsuit, or class action lawsuit based on this.
Yes it was very bad of the News of the World to hack these people's phones/voicemail. But how come we haven't heard anyone go after the cell phone providers for a shitty security setup. Sure the people's passwords might have been easy, but I remember when that guy hacked Paris Hilton's T-Mobile account. Everyone was slagging the shit out of T-Mobile as well as the hacker. And if the people who's accounts were violated because of poor passwords, why hasn't anyone commented in the news about this either? Are these points not sensationalistic for them?
Let's try a version of the old saying: Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. The people responsible for the genocide of the Armenians were mostly soldiers by the way. Soldiers following orders from their leaders. You imply that there is some kind of time limit on genocide. You are wrong, time limits don't always apply; and they certainly don't apply in the case of the Armenian Genocide. The empire changes, but the people are the same. They didn't replace Ottomans with Turks. The Turks are Ottomans. The only thing that changed was who was in charge in Istanbul. The people involved couldn't/can't say, "we didn't do anything wrong, that was the Ottomans." They were the Ottomans. The same way Germans involved in the Holocaust couldn't say, "that wasn't us, that was the Nazis, and the Nazis don't exist in Germany any more, they are outlawed." So they weren't Nazis after the war, but they were during and before the war. More importantly they are the same people and still are responsible for their actions. By choosing to follow evil people they themselves became evil. That doesn't change because a government changes. The people always remain even if the leadership of those people doesn't. Ergo, nothing in your argument is valid.
Having been permanently damaged by viewing the goatse meme a good number of years ago, I still seem to remember that the analogy would be more as if she had had the whole monkey shoved up her ass a few times. Which in HIND sight is more logical, since the monkeys in question in this case look like they must have really small dicks. And she couldn't have infected them if she wore a strap on.
Multi device? Sure. I found out that if I want to stream from my XBox 360, it will cost me another $10 per month for the 'gold' level whatever the fuck MS tries to gouge you for. So it is either park my PC beside the TV or buy one of the devices that doesn't charge you for the privilege of streaming movies from the net (after you have also paid the movie fees too). Anyway, multi device sure, but just leaving it at that is a tad misleading.
Comparing the old and new maps, it looks like the old telegraph system had a more robust connection between Europe and South America than is found today. Given that the 'B' in "BRIC Countries" is for Brazil, I would have thought that there would be at least a couple major pipes linking Europe and South America directly (through Brazil), instead of via North America. Granted the possibility of the connection between North and South Americas being interrupted is slight, but still...
From my understanding open source started because Stallman had an issue with a device driver. So instead of creating a lot of open source drivers so that people can better work with their devices, people came up with an operating system and a myriad of distributions and some good software to go with them, along with a lot of half done crap. And then came the drivers. Oh wait.... never mind.
The "unix mentality" of the development means there won't be any such "complete HA solution"
That is too bad, because from what I have seen, this is a really big show stopper for a lot of people. I really have tried to talk people on different projects to adopt Postgres over MySQL, and this is one of the more frequent arguments against Postgres (and is often the straw that breaks the camel's back). Ah, well... I can only hope in future people working on Postgres figure out that this is something that a lot of people want. Good thread... cheers.
I love synonyms. And you are right, it is probably that I am thinking of (possibly because I always thought of synonyms as a form of permission since when I have used them we make sure table names never overlapped between schemas... or very little anyway). I don't like the search path method as I never seem to get it right... I would love to see synonyms in Postgres. I used to work on Oracle and DB dev a LOT up to about 5 years ago (team lead C/Unix/Oracle etl, warehouse, app DBA etc...). Switched to BSA and now am wondering why.:) Don't enjoy politics and project politics bs. I play with Postgres a fair bit now as I still like programming (except for all the frameworks now.... is there no original thought in development any more... so sad for innovation), so I find myself doing more and considering the 'retrograde' action of going back into the trenches. Anyway, I also want to say that if you modify hbaconf to allow a DBA to create users from anywhere, it means you aren't limiting anyone via hbaconf from connecting to the database. In that case hbaconf is meaningless and not needed. Especially as all O/S's provide the same functionality (limiting access to the box).
Where I've worked with HA, the volumes are so high that if you wait for a DBA to verify whether it should cut over or not, the company can lose literally millions of dollars (systems with no exaggeration, up to hundreds of millions of accounts). i.e. Even if the switch was done because someone unplugged a network cable and the primary never actually went down. The primary should be able to become the secondary once the cable is reattached (since the secondary is now the primary). Often the primary/secondary are in the same general location and network because it is more likely that one will go down due to hardware problems than because of natural disasters requiring a remote backup server. In these cases sync issues are not an issue and if they are, then the system is not adequate to your needs. I agree a DBA should investigate if for some reason a remote slave (placed remote in case of environmental disaster) wants to try to take over, but not for the very much more common local primary/secondary set up.
12 minutes to compile a visual studio project?! Have you heard people who complain that the performance gains that we should see from faster hardware are wiped out by inefficient and bloated code? If anything you are writing for a PC takes that long to compile.... I don't know what to say. And if it is for a server, haven't you heard of linked libraries? Do you have to rebuild everything at once? Why if you are only working on a few libraries. And if a change one place cascades to many places you are definitely doing something wrong. Wow.
I'm not going to rush out and buy any SSD until the price point comes WAY down. Right now my tried and true SATA HDDs work just fine. And I like my wallet performance better when it has more dollars in it because I didn't go right out and buy the newest stuff when the old stuff still does the job. Maybe in a couple more years when the price is better, and when I actually need to replace a drive because it fails or I build a new workstation.
Exactly the first thought that I had when I saw this.
Step 1) Install a big gas tank on the ISS
Step 2) Watch the ISS and ship being refueled turn into a giant fireball due to a glitch
Step 3) Create the first orbital funeral home
Profit!
Oh yeah, I forgot to add. I don't know any person or organization that customizes their RDBMS. They may use different features, but that is because other databases have all their features built in so they won't fail because someone upgrades an O/S or some other piece of software that the DB is built to rely on and that is now no longer compatible (on purpose or due to bugs) with their RDBMS. This argument is a lame as assuming that almost everyone out there can debug and fix a program because it is open source and they have the code. The reality is that almost no one does this, and if it doesn't work, they will use something else that does. Postgres has got to pull up its socks on this one and handle the really important items like HA internally, not as a plug in.

Did they elect a new board or something since last year?

I'm sure some German soldier in Auschwitz said this to his buddy as they were throwing the Zyclon B down the shower vents.
