Hmmm. and statist utopias are better because.....?
It does exist and is actively being developed. www.firstworks.com runs off a home box on a dsl line. His dns entry seems to have disappeared. Keep checking it should come back up.
Go to egroups.yahoo.com, you will find a mailing list you can join or just peruse the messages for sqlrelay.
They also have a project on sourceforge, but it is not kept up to date. You can download version 0.21 from there, but 0.32 is the latest version. Sorry, don't know of any mirrors.
SQLRelay is an excelent database pool daemon, but it does not run on windows which was one the requirments listed by the originator's question.
You might be able to compile the client code on Win32 to connect to an SQLRelay daemon running on *nix, but the server code relays too much on fork() for straight compilation on Win32 to be possible.
What needs to be done is companies behave themselves and allow friendly competition, not this kill all competetors because competion stifles how much dosh we can make. And even if you take that attitude it should be your job to make as useful and well designed of a product as you can, don't go hording your cash and stabing your customers, you should be giving back to the community that gave you so much. This is part of what sucks about capitalism, people just don't know how to play nice. BTW, MS company parties are a real example of their excesses (as is the cafeteria that I visited at the Redmond site.
The problem is not capitalism. Contrary to popular Darwinist beliefs, capitalism is not based on survival of the fittest and competition, it is based on cooperation.
What is the alternative? Socialism? Socialism grants the same effect of a greedy monopoly, only on a much broader scale.
What we see in modern capitalism is not a problem of capitalism, per se, but rather the effects of a major moral decline, but then we don't like talking about ethics until we are wronged ourselves.
I worked as a shipping and receiving manager a couple years before becomming a programmer. I just want to say that Mr. Becket is right. You should never ship hardware w/o insurance. If UPS won't insure international shipments, go with someone else who will, like FedEx or DHL.
We had lost a $10,000 color thermal printer to UPS (similar damage your computer suffered). Because we had insured the shipment for $10,000, we got every penny back from UPS within 3 weeks.
If I ever had let anything leave our shipping dock uninsured, I would have surely been fired.
The issue is not that man should not play God. That is impossible.
Speaking of Scripture and ontology, God is not a created being as ourselves, but is the great "I AM". He is the only one that depends on nothing for His existence. There is nothing created existance adds or provides for God. He exists outside the realm of time and space, and yet He is everywhere and intimately involved with His creation.
God is eternal and He has all knowledge of all things of all times of history and the future on the surface of His mind at all times. Nothing happens that can take God by surprise.
What's more, is that God has predestined and foreordained all things. This is by virtue of the fact that there is no "moment of time" in God, but only in His created order.
Good has ontological existence because God is good. Evil, on the other hand, exists in a vaccuum. It is simply deviation from God. Which is nonsensical and self destructive.
As to using brain matter with computers, I do not see how this deviates from Scripture (Scripture being the "Holy Bible"). Perhaps there are motives behind this that do, but I really do not believe in all this that it ultimately threatens God's created order. (Unless, of course, these scientists start hiring thugs looking for live brain matter on the streets and people's homes).
Even if the neuron-based computer never works as intended, regardless of the ill-motives of scientists or whoever, I do believe it will still add to our knowledge of God's created order.
All in all, God being who He is, even Satan can not run from the fact that he was created by God, and thus in all his evil intent, his very being resounds the magnificient power of God. That is why evil is self-destructive... in order for one to destroy God's creation, one must eventually resolve to destroying himself as he is also God's creation.
I have not been very happy with RedHat 6.0. I don't know if this has to do with X or not, but my RedHat workstation at work locks up completely EVERY night. I had even taken it off the wire to see if it was because of an attack from outside. When she dies, she dies hard and I cannot connect to her from another machine. The problem could also be with the SMP support?? As soon as glibc 2.1 is included with the stable version of Debian, I am switching over. I had another Debian system here once before, that had long uptimes (months) for a workstation. She never broke, and X never crashed!
Right. Uh-huh. Now just TRY and get along WITHOUT using Microsoft products in the corporate workplace. Just TRY to see how far you make it. Your customers will abandon you, because you're incapable of opening even the simplest MS-Works document when they communicate with you.
My internal e-mail sig reads:
Due to the overwhelming number of viruses that are found in binary format documents, I am unable to open and view any documents in any Microsoft format. Please refrain from sending them. Any formated documents sent to me must be in either ascii, or html. (Postscript and PDF are also fine). I apologize for any inconvenience.
I have used this sig for the past three years. Two of those years were spent as a software salesman, and I have never had any problems, nor objections, from anybody internal nor customers.

The new millinium wasn't declared until the fourth century AD. They had declared it began in the Jewish year 3930. So 3931 was 1 A.D.
