Maybe those guys should go to work for the RIAA. One more time: just because someone went with a free alternative does not mean you lost a sale of an overpriced product.
And the InfoWorld story is about the findings from the "2010 Eclipse User Survey", which is a pretty self-selective sample in and of itself: if you're using Eclipse, you're obviously NOT targeting Windows exclusively, you have the OPTION to use Desktop Linux, you have the OPTION to use MySQL, etc.
MySQL has some properties that Oracle does not," Screven said in an interview with InfoWorld before the keynote speech. "It's small, it's easy to install. It's easy for developers to get going with it."
I know I've installed Oracle dozens of times - on the same machine.
What Oracle could do is provide an easy migration path from MySQL to Oracle DB, so one could develop/deploy on MySQL, and move to full Oracle when traffic/size warrants. Just being able to use the same "create table/index/stored procedure" scripts on both databases would be a nice (OK, godsend) feature, using the same DAO objects is probably dreaming on my part.
The event horizon is... the place where the escape velocity equals the speed of light.
Ding ding ding - we have a winner. This is the point that so many cosmology shows on Discovery Channel or Science Channel (or whatever) completely fail to mention; they keep describing black holes as "so massive, even light can't escape" without explaining why (Michio Kaku, Alex Fillipenko, (sp) I'm looking at you). See Wikipedia for the details, but the important point is that escape velocity is dependent on an object's mass divided by its radius. So if mass goes high enough, or radius low enough, you get an escape velocity greater than the speed of light: AKA an event horizon.
Say it again, and remember it later: The event horizon is... the place where the escape velocity equals the speed of light.
I really have to agree with this sentiment. Both of these are Tragedy of the Commons events, where single individuals (corporations) are overexploiting all of us, consequences be damned. Unfortunately, we've built a system where corporations have no responsibilities to anything or anyone beyond their own profit motive.
Because the farther away they are, the farther back in time we're looking. By collecting images of galaxies at different stages of evolution (and different types of collisions) cosmologists are able to form a much better picture of how galaxies (and the universe in general) form and evolve.
I'm a Galaxy Zoomate, too, but I sure wouldn't mind an AI that would weed out even 75% of the boring eliptical galaxies, and let us concentrate on the pretty spirals and irregulars.
Yup, we're way off-topic. I should learn not to feed the trolls. I walk through that same intersection at 7:30AM and 5:00PM every day myself. And we both know the city workers are there keeping the taxi drivers from running over pedestrians or jumping through yellow/pink lights to stand in the crosswalk, blocking the pedestrians. Besides, they make some good city income writing tickets for the worst offenders.
Nonsense. I'm tired of people trolling about Chicago who don't know a goddamn thing about it. Al Capone has been dead for a while now. Chicago is run more honestly (and WAY more efficiently) than many big US cities.
Just to clarify... Ritalin = medication by doctors. Alcohol = self-medication. Meanwhile, the effect of Ritalin on an overactive child is as a depressant, not a stimulant.
What I'm saying is that we're using more and more labels to enforce a kind of chemical conformity. It's easier to medicate an imaginative and unruly child than it is to channel that energy. I'll bet if Richard Feynman (as an example) were a third-grader today, they'd be medicating him.
We need to avoid flouride and protect our precious bodily fluids!

Yeah. What a PITA. Now you have to take their whole head.
But the new Microsoft ad campaign says Internet Explorer blocks all those bad places. Who am I supposed to believe?

I would direct you to the second amendment, which says if you all don't STFU, something bad is gonna happen.

Maybe one of the people with the imaginary friend can give us the chapter and verse about "building your house on sandy ground".

I think "embarrassing the FBI's (corporate) domestic surveillance wing" is the crime being investigated here.
Other way around. High prices reflect scarcity and demand.

When a single bluefin tuna can bring $75,000 at market, it's not Deepwater Horizon, no matter how horrific, that's causing bluefin tuna to go extinct.
It'll be a 3D side scroller. With a rootkit.

You could use use for UDP communications all.
Smartest post in the whole thread.
Now you'll be able to show your grandkids pictures of trees.
Not to worry. It'll be protected by The Most Secure Windows Evar(tm).
Of course, none of those guys have (or did have) anything to do with the City of Chicago or its operation. Hint: State of Illinois != City of Chicago.

Riiiight. Because China is corruption-free and they love us there. And Chicago is far less corrupt than, say, Washington DC.
