  1. Re:Me, too! on MySQL's Creator On Why the Future Belongs To MariaDB · · Score: 2

    The real problem though is that it isn't MY code, it's some project's code. I have no code, I'm not a coder. I could try to port it, but the chances of be breaking things is significant.

    I don't see why they can't work with OpenJDK. It's not under a stupid license like the Sun/Oracle JRE.

    Great. But instead of picking apart my improper use of an idiom, how about you stay on topic?

    It's a postgres problem - because I'd love to drink the koolaid and use postgres rather than mysql, but you'll note projects that implement specifically against MySQL rather outnumber those that either use postgres specifically or allow you the flexibility to choose.

    I'm not a programmer - I just don't have the skillset. So the chances of my botching it up should I have to manually "port" the various web applications and the like are too high for my liking.

    Can I point existing code at Postgres rather than MySQL and have it work?

    If not, that's kind of a problem.

    I just fucking said it! The homophobic (aka "sexual-preference" slur) "faggot" usage! As well as your own usage!

    It's as bad as bandying about "nigger."

    Knock that shit off.

    "Faggot."

    I don't care what it's historical usage was.... that's why it's called "historical" or "archaic" usage!

    Sentencing should be for punishment/rehabilitation and not to "send messages."

    That kind of shit needs to go away. That's why we have "hackers" getting put away longer than rapists, or issues like Aaron Schwartz.

    You are correct that I am a product of 1990's (and 2000's) US public schooling. Not everyone is born into wealth and able to be privately educated.

    Despite your implication that my education was inferior, I am able to join a discussion and offer my opinion without attacking participants for little to no reason. I invite you to reflect on what that means in the context of your own education...

    Lets be fair - if interference was a valid argument at all (it isn't...) the antennas for anything important are not physically near the cockpit, but on the belly, back, or wings.

    Don't give me the RFI argument either.

    I had my radio on AM with a low squelch, right near the band that air communications and nav equipment uses. My kindle was physically laying next to the antenna - and I barely heard a thing (for 2 seconds) when the kindle locked and redrew the screen.
