  1. innodb and fulltext? on MySQL Moves to Prime Time · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Can you use transactions, and have referential integrity and fulltext indexing on the same table yet?

  2. Re:PostgreSQL vs MySQL on Sun Eyes PostgreSQL · · Score: 1

    Yeah, except to use mysql's multi-master replication you have to keep your whole dataset in RAM.

  3. Re:It actually does! (and they have the pictures!) on 6.8GHz 1TB RAM and 2TB HDD Laptop? · · Score: 1

    "Apparently it does not use a hard disc, instead it is based on "solid state AtomChip® optoelectronics"" Do you know how expensive solid state drives are?

  4. Re:Try functional indexes with Unicode strings on Comparing MySQL and PostgreSQL 2 · · Score: 1

    Works fine for me Mmaybe you need to initdb your cluster with something that isn't SQL_ASCII. (it defaulted to UTF-8 for me)

  5. Re:Getting Rid of People With a Clue... ? on Comparing MySQL and PostgreSQL 2 · · Score: 1

    8.1 (now in beta) has the autovacuum daemon built-in, which looks for updates/deletes to tables and automaticly vacuums them when they reach a certain threshhold.

  6. MySQL dolphin vs Postgresql elephant... on Comparing MySQL and PostgreSQL 2 · · Score: 1
  7. Re:I used to like MySQL on Comparing MySQL and PostgreSQL 2 · · Score: 1

    He probably meant "mysql doesnt do NOT IN (subquery)". (at least before 4.1)

  8. Re:Independent music recommendation services? on EFF Releases Music DRM Guide · · Score: 1

    Try audioscrobbler.

  9. Re:Does anyone remember... on VMware Opens Up API to Partners · · Score: 1

    Xen?

  10. Re:examples you could use... on Fun and Informative Way to Introduce Open Source? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    You don't get a warranty with Linux in the first place.

  11. Re:This is nice but... on Multi-booting Mac Intel Developer Machines · · Score: 3, Informative

    He said: beyond what the regular 64-bit pentium4 has. Both chips implement em64t the same way.

  12. Re:Battery equipped PCI RAm drive: on Five PC Innovations the Industry Should Get To · · Score: 1

    Not much point of it, the PCI bus is limited to 133MB/s anyway, a decent RAID setup can get you near those speeds. What they should make is a PCIe card like that, which would be insanely fast :)

  13. looks familiar on France to Be Site of World's First Nuclear Fusion · · Score: 1

    Hmm, this story looks familiar.

  14. Re:Microsoft Monopolistic Contracts are Frustratin on HP Will Offer Customized Linux in Notebooks · · Score: 1

    Dell does this too for their no preinstalled OS computers.

  15. Re:Can we run servers yet? on Comcast Raises Bandwidth in Shot at DSL · · Score: 1

    It might only be me, but people can access my port 80 without problems.

  16. Multi-thread... on Is Apache 2.0 Worth the Switch for PHP? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well, as the article probably says.. Many of PHP's modules aren't thread-safe. So there'll be little errors that might not show up until you have thousands of concurrent accesses. This of course can be solved by using the pre-fork config for Apache2..
