I agree. I'm an application developer (not using MySQL), and I almost never use triggers on the DB side. Although, foreign keys and stored procedures are nice to have.
There are plenty of games that are less than 4 years old and more than one year old that are very good and inexpensive. If you don't care too much about graphics, older games should be the way to go.
If you use java it's a lot easier. But, I agree thread synchronization is difficult to test. If your application has multiple database connections, that can make things worse.
It's estimated by gamespy that the next xbox will have 3 cores. So finally, we will being seeing video games that use multi-threading. The results will be interesting.
I agree that VB 6 is not very good for OOP. It's been years since I've programmed mostly in VB, but I think VB 6 is a bit faster than.NET. It seems like.NET is just as slow as Java (sometimes slower). That's the main reason that I can think of keeping VB 6.
Unlike many other markets the real estate market is directly on the number of people living in an area. The U.S. population is growing quickly. For that reason alone, real estate is a safe investment. So unless you get duped at the sale or you picked a bad location, you are likely to get a good return on your investment.
Yes, a lot of companies like JBoss sell support and do quite well. There is a long article by the founder of JBoss that describes their business plan. I think it's at jboss.org somewhere.
Also, the mySQL company has commerical products based on their open source product. I think they also sell support.
I think that any complex and widely used software product can make lots of money just selling support. The funny thing is that the open source product developers aren't the only ones who can sell support, they just have the most credibility for selling support.
Why can't the networks seed a bittorent for each episode (after it's aired on TV) with commericals in it? Sure people will skip some of the commericals, but you can do that with a DVR too.
If you pick up the University TV channel, google did a presentation a couple of years ago that describes their server setup and the basics of their search technology. It was still very technical.
I saw this one hour presentation on one of the 9000 channels offered with Dish TV. I think the show was something like "Computer Engineering Technology". They'll probably run that episode again.
Anyways, I thought it was interesting and if you get that channel (I think it's by Washington U), you can see it too.
I don't know how many times I've walked behind people at the office who seem to be concentrating on their work, only to see them playing solitaire on Windows.
I believe Turbo C++ 3.1 is available license free. Once I moved to Windows MSVC++ from DOS Turbo C++, my productived dropped too. If it weren't for java and the Internet, I'd love to go back to 1994.
Back before version OO 1.1, OO.org had a doc that described the process you could go through to increase the maximum row value.
With version 2.0 they made the process simpler. You can check the 2.0 documentation, but I think it now just involves changing a few lines on a few files and recompiling. Open Office went with 65K rows for Excel compatiblity.
Maybe someone will produce alternate versions of Calc when 2.0 final is released with more rows.
I downloaded a version of OO 2.0 a few months ago and this 65536 rows feature actually worked. So finally it can replace Excel.
However it seemed like the biggest problems with 1.1 for me was the slow start up time and the fact that it won't open some Excel documents, mostly password protected ones. I hope some of those issues were fixed.
You're right. I was getting the certificate company servers mixed up with something else. Although, they are doing more than authorizing use to your domain name.
Certificate companies are also providing a service. Their servers must be involved in each and every SSL connection.
Although, it seems that many of these server certificates are at least a little overpriced. I guess there's a price to pay for that extra compatibility you get because the client certificate is already installed on popular web browsers.
I personally think overtime is an issue you should take up with your superviser. If you won't get paid for overtime, then you should be able to simply not work it. Aren't engineers usually salaried workers anyways?
Anyways EA has 4400 employees worldwide, so I'm not suprised they have disputes every now an then.
For a second there, I thought you were really Jon Stewart like on the Daily Show. But, Jon Stewart is American and they spell rationalize with a z and behavior without the u.
Via has more cache: 64 KB L1, 64 KB L2 and AMD's has just 32 KB L1. That probably makes a big difference. Via's also has a cryptography engine and supports SSE instead of 3DNOW. However, I think their website is still wrong.
Maybe someday one of them will start a business and take orders for the perfect female. It will be kind of like the realistic life-sized dolls that are currently on the market, but much better.
They just need to figure out how to make animals grow super fast or make them be born full grown like in Space: Above and Beyond. Only then will our dreams of having a stupid but beautiful woman to command come true.
That removable hard drive sounds pretty neat. Is that a hack? I can't do anything like that with mine.
I have the Dish 522 (dual tuners), and I always thought it pretty sweet (compared to no DVR). However, the GUI is pretty slow. Now that they added the episode scheduling to record all new episodes or all episodes, it not too far behind the Tivo. I haven't experienced the problems the other posts are about. Although, I heard DirectTV has better customer service for the bigger issues from this guy I work with who has DirectTV.
Writting java programs for your DVR sounds pretty cool. I wonder what kind of functionality the SDK allows.
If you think about childern(under 12) as little drunk adults, the system isn't such a bad idea.
These devices are used to track childern not to watch them. The school should keep track of their students during the day. I don't see whats wrong with this tool. Although for kids 12 and up, I don't think it's appropriate.
Yes, JSP, php, servlets, and ASP.Net are all superior technologies to ASP. However, I sometimes use ASP for simple intranet sites. It's a little easier than other web languages if you are using Windows. All you have to do is turn on IIS and drop in your asp files. Doesn't everyone already know VB script anyways?
On the post, the guy said something about mono. Why would you use mono, unless you are using linux or unix? If you're using linux, why would you want to use ASP.Net? That's insane! The original poster needs to buy a book on web development before going further.
I see your point that nuclear energy can be dangerous, and too many tax dollars do go to the nuclear power industry. However, I seriously doubt you read the whole Wired article or saw the episode of 60 minutes. They are both more credible than you, and you have no solid facts to disagree with them.
Also, if you look up the
definition of troll you will see you are the one trolling here.

I thought Freelancer was fun the first time through. However, it was a bit simplistic and the static economy sucked.
