My sentiments exactly with Steam. I will not buy a game now unless it's on Steam. No such DRM other than to log in on Steam long enough to get a ticket. In an emergency there are "ways" to run your legitimately bought Steam games without actually installing or logging into Steam if you really need to. As an aside, you'll usually see a lot of indie developers releasing games on there for the cost of a latte, and even if I only play their game for an hour or so, I like to support them.
PS. I lol at people running non-Steam BioShock. I just downloaded data files and clicked go. Done.
Solution: If you "die", the game deletes itself from your hard drive, forcing you to reinstall. That gives you a pretty decent reason for self preservation.;)
My great great great great grandmother was wrongly accused of stealing a loaf of bread and shipped off to Australia. I demand that the British government pay compensation minus living expenses and take her corpse back to the UK... no... wait...
Even better, what if the Australian Classification Board had some sense and actually created an R18 rating for games rather than banning anything considered too explicit for M15?
Wait, that's too sensible.
He *implied* that 640k was a fair amount "for the time being" but that it would need to be significantly increased as technology proved more demanding. He never implied that "no-one will ever need more than 640k".
Just as a reference Re: big applications and databases, the company I work for maintains a transport management system for the largest rail freight provider in Australia. The database for this application (Oracle 10g) currently stands at 1100+ tables (some containing a few million rows) 2400+ packages, and 450+ triggers. The client application is comprised of 2100+ java source files and 500+ interactive Swing forms.
Your statement of "Databases need to scale to disgusting large numbers." is spot on.;)
Oh god that's awesome:D
I heard an MP3 a while ago of the telemarketing victim pretending to be a police officer with something along the lines of: "You've actually called a crime scene. How do you know the deceased? Don't hang up or you could be charged with obstruction of justice."
If you're partial to Lua, it has SQLite bindings (and various other DB engines).
I've not used LuaSQLite personally so I can't give you a code sample, but I wouldn't imagine it would be much more code than the Python example.
As a bonus, Lua was primarily designed as an embedded language (of course Python can be embedded too).
