The only way to learn the code is to work with it.
If you're new to a team, best thing you can do to learn a new codebase, is to reply to loads of support questions coming around, you'll have to dig in to understand how it works and reply to the questions. Same when there is a bug, try to find it, then work out a solution and ask your co-woker what he thinks about it.
Also, a good test to see if you know your codebase is getting a call from your boss and be able to fix the bug over the phone when he explains it to you.
Actually if you are thinking about high-end server, the few % you get with optimized calls, can be translated in $ with several digits. So if you paid someone less than that number, everybody wins.
It's really funny, I'm sure if it was a Microsoft product, you would scream and shout how evil they are...
Could you listen the song from you iPod everywhere ?
Actually, if you link your app against the mysql client librairy which is GPL, you are entitled to disclose the source... Hence the commercial license for people using MySQL with proprietary software.
Talking about Hungarian notation, You haven't seen the worse. Function name with prefix for the return value ! Yes, like a gorry : int nGetHostByName(char *szHost, int nNamelen); Surely once, one guy in this company will think about writing as well the variable types in the function name ! How usefull ! (They should just hire _better_ programmer)

The key point is being in the same group than your boss...

Then how do you explain that Euronext, and its platform liffe.connect (who runs e-CboT, Tiffe and all derivatives products of Euronext) is switching from Sun Solaris to Linux ? http://www.wallstreetandtech.com/showArticle.jhtml ?articleID=185301308

Try :
SELECT * FROM table LIMIT y OFFSET x
That would make it even usable with PostGreSQL and most DB, since the x,y is a mysql extention.
If you use MySQL : --safe-updates, --i-am-a-dummy, -U at the command line http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysql-comma nd-options.html
