I would like to see MySQL provide a set of "best practice" data models for common types of problems including triggers, stored procs (or even clusters and replication) so we can all benefit from your expertise.
For example:
What is the best way to set up your data model to deal with recurring schedules? How do you store the schedule for something that needs to be performed every other tuesday after 10:00 AM but before 5:00 PM at location X. How to you generate the individual events. How do you deal with somebody trying to view what their schedule would look like in 2020? How do you rescedule next tuesdays event to wednesday but still keep the scedule active.
>And if I found a link of someone from Microsoft praising the GPL, what would you do
Give me the link and you'll find out.
Find me an MS employee who publicly disagrees with Ballmers threats to sue open source companies, users and developers.
>You think ASP.NET AJAX would support Opera if it was just for the execs?
Yes.
>That MS would have given Moonlight their blessing?
Yes.
>That Codeplex would exist?
Yes.
All those things are MS projects approved by the MS hierarchy. Funded by MS, marketed by the MS marketing dept, staffed by MS HR, hosted on MS servers, at the MS hosting facility.
You really think some random guy is able to control all that without the approval of his bosses?
>Just look at any of MS top dogs dev blog posts. They happily go around pushing open source, open standards, helping some open source projects, defending competing technologies, implementing stuff that works in Firefox before it works in IE, rave about Macs, etc.
Give me a link to one that praises the GPL or critizes ballmer for threating to sue open projects.
What a load of bullshit. Ballmer is the CEO and MS is not a democracy. If you don't do what your boss says you get fired. The board makes decisions and Ballmer makes it happen. If anybody disagrees with that they can find a job elsewhere.
Where are those hordes of MS employees who disagree with Ballmer? Where are their blog posts? Where are their articles in magazines? Where are their anonymous posts on slashdot and elsewhere?
>I understand why you would choose a slow-and-expressive language over a fast-but-less-expressive one, but why would you choose a slow-and-expressive language over a fast-and-expressive one?
Library, Library, Library, Library.
Then comes community, documentation, availability of tools.
Let me ask you a question.
Smalltalk has been around for ages. If it's so great then how come it never caught on?
Another thing is that you can force your enemy to spend tons of money and time rebuilding networks that were broken into. Economic warfare is the next frontier and china is better situated to fight that war then anybody else.

I still can't believe nobody mentions powerfolder yet. http://www.powerfolder.com/ It's open source but they try and sell you a "pro" version. Not quite sure how that works really.
I don't know how mature the novell version is but the open source version is very far from being mature. In fact there hasn't been a stable release in more then two years and nobody knows if or when there will ever be a stable release.
A while ago all the developers on ifolder either quit or were fired and the development was moved to india. Since then the pace of development has slowed down to a crawl and the new developers try to understand the code base and fix bug reports.
Right now you can download something that is beta-ish but I certainly would not trust my mission critical data to it. If you want something that works you are going to have to pull off the trunk and compile it.
>Palestinian radicals and Muslim radicals (which usually games support for former as platform for their violence) rarerly can give any *real* reason for their actions -
You mean other then trying to throw off an occupying army and gain their freedom?
>It gives a feeling that Palestinians actually doesn't want country with borders, they want to destroy Israel and restore like it was before World War II.
You get that feeling because as you admitted you know nothing about the palestenians. Here let me help you by quoting some americans.
"give me liberty or give me death". "Don't tread on me". "I have but one life to give for my country". "It's wrong to steal peoples land and build houses on it". "Apartheid is wrong". "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
See if any of those phrases help you understand what's going on over there.
>You are a hardened cynical person who subscribes to the arguements of one side in a bitter dispute with complex origins and only complex possible solutions.
Nah. I just believe apartheid is wrong. South africa gave it up and israel will too. It's just a matter of time.
>Further, you sound like a pamphlet reader from a disinterested third party country. That makes you an opportunist troll creature who feeds and thrives on the energy of the conflict.
At least I am not an apologist for apartheid and mass murder.
>Let's correct it, carrying occupation only because of hostility of territories around it.
That's the lousiest excuse I have ever heard for apartheid.
>blowing up civilians in big numbers doesn't count as fight for something right in my book
Sounds to me like you are perfectly fine with it when israel does it.
>Don't want to sound like troll, flamer or something,
And yet you sound exactly like a troll and a flamer.
>And that worries me most. It is clear that they don't know what are good for them. They simply refuse to live in this life without conflict and seeks very antagonistic attitude.
This sentence applies to the israeli side more then it applies to the palestenian side.
But I know what you will never admit that. You have already made an excuse for 40 years of brutal occupation of 3.5 million people.

Thanks.
>Ok so maybe they are the only distribution where Microsoft won't sue you for useing Samba,
Actually samba is specifically named as not being covered by the agreement. MS will sue you if you use samba even if you are using suse.
In fact if you are using suse you are at a greater risk of a lawsuit because you have established a relationship with MS at that point.
Unfortunately I am still having the same problem with gutsy.
Crap.
You were able to load ubuntu on a 9400? I could not even get the livecd to come up.
I bet you don't have the ATI card.
Fucking dell. No two laptops are alike even if they are same model.

I dare you.

Can you tell me what company you work for? I just want to make sure I never invest in a company run by a guy who thinks like you.
If your boss will fire you because a network card failed the business is doomed.
>Asking people to contribute things is good; using contributability (if that's a word) as an excuse to ignore valid criticism is bad.
You know what's worse?
Ungrateful fucks who cry because other people don't do things for them.
To me those are the most despicable people on the planet.
>Sorry, but the "Do it yourself," attitude is just bad.
It's great. That's what open source is all about.
>Part of having a successful product is listening to what people want and working to implement that.
Ah I see where you got confused.
Linux is not a product. It's already successful.
>I understand why you would choose a slow-and-expressive language over a fast-but-less-expressive one, but why would you choose a slow-and-expressive language over a fast-and-expressive one?

Let this be a lesson to all of you.
Personal responsibility is for suckers and fools.
Smart people form corporations so they can lie, cheat, and steal with impunity.
>MS didn't produce Moonlight. The Mono guys did.
In that case it will be two versions behind.
Another thing is that you can force your enemy to spend tons of money and time rebuilding networks that were broken into. Economic warfare is the next frontier and china is better situated to fight that war then anybody else.
Hey dumbass. It's not stolen if the owner gave it away.
Maybe not if they distributed a GPL2 'or later' license.
Right on the front page it says...

What makes you think they will deliver that on time or that it will be any better then visa?

We made the native americans citizens and gave them full rights.
That makes us better then the israelis.
