MySQL, clearly a very popular SQL database, has nested queries only in its latest versions, so many, if not the majority, of MySQL installations do not yet have that capability. Yet the text carries on as if nested queries were universal, without so much as parenthetical mention that some things might not work on all SQL implementations.
The fact that MySQL sucks is not a limitation of the book, as far as I'm concerned. Stumbling across the bits of SQL that some particular version of MySQL does not support (e.g. UNIONs, inline views, etc etc) is just one of the great treats in life.
If you are using Mason with mod_perl, it would be mainly because hosting with PHP is much easier to find. You never have to worry about scenarios such as: "if this hosting company goes under, where am I going to be able to find another one with similar features, similar prices, and maybe toll-free support (if your client has insisted on it)".
What do we do?
Well, we know that there is one very effective way of lowering temperatures: large volcanic eruptions. We have enough nukes to create this effect on our own in a controlled way, and enough processing power to try to get it right. To me, this would seem to be one of the few approaches that could be used to buy us some time to invest in new technologies that would help us out in the long term.
Also, for those who are interested, the New Yorker just ran an interesting-but-depressing three-part series on climate change.

Try reading the report before you denigrate the troops who were invloved in the unfortunate incident. The troops were Soldiers, not Marines. They were not "poorly trained grunts with itchy trigger fingers", and one of them was an NYPD cop.
Only one American fired on the vehicle, and he showed remarkable restraint.
The report clearly places the majority of the blame on the Italians. They refused to co-ordinate their actions with the Americans.
When moving through another unit's battlespace in a combat zone, coordination with forces in the area is required for situational awareness, and, more importantly, for deconfliction of unit movements, positioning, and operations. For example, 2/10 MTN has successfully coordinated and executed previous movements and operations of units and forces not assigned to their AOR. The unit had coordinated, sometimes on relatively short notice, with numerous Joint Special Operations Units, Special Missions Units, and Special Tactics Units before 4 March 2005, with no incidents.
....
Based upon previous successful coordination efforts by 3ID and 2/10 MTN working with organizations from various agencies outside their chain of command, it is clear that, while the hostage recovery operation may have otherwise been a success, prior coordination might have prevented this tragedy. Iraq is still a hostile environment, i.e, a combat zone, and the more coordination that can be done to increase situational awareness of those operating within the battlespace, the better it is for all involved.

No, Communism is the system where you pretend to work, and the government - which owns everything and employs everyone - pretends to pay you.
Or would that be:
Linux:
Solaris nearly ready for server use.
