PostgreSQL rocks, and it is the base of PostGIS. It competes on par with the major commercial databases.
I used msql back in the day, the precursor of MySQL. But never for anything serious.
It's good to have competing projects, but I think we need to look to a fork of MySQL rather than something that FOSS developers won't want to get behind.
As the freedom includes the freedom to distribute the software you use then ultimately it does mean "no cost" as there is no artificial scarcity with which to maintain that cost. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but FOSS licences act to push the cost of commodity software to zero, at least to the user. Support and bespoke software (and donations) is realistically where the money is to be made in that scenario.
I use it to build air traffic control systems. We don't give those away.
relax and you will have the latest Android source again in no time.
I don't know what's remarkable about 3.0 then. Why all the fuss? They've done the exact same thing with the other versions of Android. They typically drag their feet about releasing the source.
This has zero to do with the do no evil part and everything to do with "you should be open sourcing everything, not a part".Bolds and trolling don't help.
I have an openMoko Neo, but it never really worked. Mostly I bought it to support the project.
I run Cyanogenmod on my Nexus One. It IS a port of Android.
As for do no evil, I'm not saying they are doing evil, or that they aren't. What I'm saying is that we will no longer know one way or the other.
RMS might seem idealistic and harsh, he isn't very diplomatic, but he is right. We know that the NSA has no back doors in a GNU/Linux platform because we have the source for everything. Do you know that about Windows?
If Google doesn't release the source for Android 3.0, then you have to take what is in there on faith. Has it occurred to anyone to question why they are becoming secretive all of a sudden? Maybe because "do no evil" does not apply?
I have a nexus one, it's open, hardware and software, (I suspect that there are proprietary things in there, but it's as open as it gets FTW) I won't be moving to another phone any time soon.
RMS's version of free doesn't mean no cost, it refers to your freedom to do as you please with your software/hardware. You won't be able to do that with an Android 3+ device. FAIL.
Imagine if all the money spent on sending
handfuls of people into space was spent on health care education here on
Earth?
Yeah, or if the trillions of dollars spent on the military were given to me. Then I could buy everyone a fur coat. (But not a real fur coat, 'cause that's cruel.)
Clearly you haven't read the Old Testament. God is an asshole.
But he loves you!
Yeah, I knew all that, but I restrict my reading to good sci-fi stuff like Genesis, and my absolute favourite, Revelations.
I stood at a busy crossing downtown once and quoted revelations at the top of my voice for 5 minutes. Mostly to prove to my son that I would do it. No one even looks at you, it's pretty cool, you may as well be standing alone in a forest. (If you're standing alone in a forest spouting Rrevelations, and a tree falls and hits you on the head, is it the Apocalypse?)
Anyway, I said if "I" were a god, but admittedly I didn't word it very well.
Jim would beat the fsck out of Solo with both hands tied behind his back.
No comparison.
Isn't this sort of bringing the level Star Trek down by replacing thoughtful philosophical with nothing but a bar fight?
Have you watched much of the original series? Others may, but I can't think of an episode without one or more good fights. It doesn't seem to get in the way of philosophy much. That's why we have Spock. He kicks ass with the end of his finger, following up immediately by questioning the morality of whatever it was that caused him to exert himself in such a base manner.
Hopefully, religious bigotry won't keep us from using medicine to benefit humanity for too long.
Too long? What is too long? When you lose a loved one? Is that too long? You my friend, by subscribing to a religion, lend your support (willingly or not) to the views of the leadership that you follow.
I fail to understand how people can say that they belong to a Christian sect and claim to agree with the good things and not the bad. Your religion forbids this.
You can easily vote your disagreement by not belonging. Are there not religions that give you your God, behave in a socially responsible way, AND support your beliefs?
I have the same router.
I don't know if it is necessary to upgrade to open/dd-wrt, but the procedure is quick and easy.
I don't remember what my old router was, but this router outperforms it by (it seems like) a magnitude on wireless, and the interface is excellent.
Once, the Earth used to be the center of the universe, and the sun revolved around us. To suggest otherwise was heresy.
Once man was created as the image of the Christian God and woman from man. To suggest otherwise was heresy.
Now, using stem cells to save lives is heresy. Eventually this will change, but in the meantime be prepared to lose loved ones who could have lived longer healthier lives.
If there were a God, I would think that he would be angered by the atrocities committed in his name.

Which just goes to show you that no good deed goes unpunished.
Wow. This statement qualifies you as a classic incompetent. Are you lying too? :D
It's an AC thread, they're prolly both incompetent liars.
It strikes me that PostgreSQL may well be the bigger load. 3-4 times the hardware? Not under the same conditions.
Jesus dude, you need to relax with the post spamming. We get it... there are already forks of mysql.
He's being an advocate of his project. Maybe he is a little enthusiastic about it, but it's part of the job.

So you would gladly cooperate with Nazi-Germany on making the Atombomb because it is just science?
Cern are making atom bombs? Damn I mustn't have read TFA as clearly as I had previously thought.
Don't be ridiculous. But they ARE talking to the God particle, and that has to stop!
Remember the Tower of Babel?
Can't say we weren't warned. Zeus might not like it either, but he's pretty random.
Don't. Feed. The. Trolls! Is that so hard?
Just let the mods deal with it.
C'mon. It IS pretty hard.
And look at you, posting as AC.

Subluxation, you keep using that word, I don not think it means what you think it means.

I don't 'keep using that word', I mentioned it once as part of the term 'Vertebral subluxation'
Maybe it isn't you. I seem to see that word used every other day on ./, and nowhere else. Anywhere. Ever. It smacks of verbal masturbation.
I took the opportunity to please myself in turn by abusing a quote from The Princess Bride.

Any doctor can be dangerous. Particularly the ones that take "bribes" for prescribing drugs.
Back problems are ~90% mechanical.

Cool how you got Chiropractors in there with belly button massage. Got an agenda?
The historical record is unclear on this point *at best*.
Actually, the historical record of the time is pretty thin on Christ existing at all.
Once man was created as the image of the Christian God and woman from man. To suggest otherwise was heresy.
Now, using stem cells to save lives is heresy. Eventually this will change, but in the meantime be prepared to lose loved ones who could have lived longer healthier lives.

Ever seen pics of Jane Goodall's kids?
I think that's what the commenter above your earlier one was saying.
Yes, I recognized his comment as sarcasm, that's what I meant by not funny. I think we agree.
