    Than and then are completely different words.

    Contrary to what many ill- and semi-literates seem to think, these are not homonyms. We spell them differently for a reason.

    The default engine does not even support transactions.

    Wrong.

    The default storage engine in 5.5.5 and later is InnoDB, which handles both transactions and foreign keys very nicely.

    Thanks for playing, though.

    Did you mean to say, "To which you failed to link", or perhaps the slightly less grammatical but still acceptable, "Which you failed to link to"?

    ... there is no such thing as a free market. The concept was invented, like organized religion, specifically to keep people enslaved and enrich the elite.

  11. Re:I have this important message on US Citizen Visiting Thailand Arrested For Blog Posting · · Score: 1

    Never said you were making any moral judgements, did I? However, the page you linked does say, in part,

    This leaked home video, commissioned to document the birthday party of the Crown Prince's dog, shows a decadent feast in celebration of the animal. It is attended by servants and the Crown Princess, who appears naked throughout, and who appears to be expected to act in a sycophantic manner.

    which is hardly neutral POV. And being from the US myself and thus knowing full well the typical American OMFGBOOBIES thing, I thought it was not off the mark to point this out about differences in tradition as regards clothing.

    Which was the norm in Thailand until maybe 75 years ago. (Feel free to thank pressure from Westerners for getting the ladies to cover up.)

    Re-read the GP.

    Bloodwine77 actually said that openSUSE is not quite as popular as Ubuntu, not the other way round.

    In fact, his exact words were, "...not quite as popular as Ubuntu...".

    Hope you enjoyed venting some unrelated frustration, even so.

  15. Re:Interpol redundancy on Kaspersky Calls For 'Internet Interpol' · · Score: 1

    Some of us might recall that, back in the Seventies, before they started the CB Radio Interpol, people were using those things for thumbing their noses at highway speed limits en masse—not to mention for arranging from time to time to score weed, speed, or dirty deeds.

    Thank goodness the authorities acted quickly in that case, and were able to nip the thing in the bud!

    ... I spent several days last week battling datetime handling in JavaScript (which I will maintain is an abomination simply on the grounds of not supporting ISO-8601 formatted dates in a world where everything else uses ISO-8601).

    I find it rather baffling that you had to spend more than one hour on this task.

    Protip: You have a Date object. It has very consistent and predictable characteristics. You're able to extend it on demand, just as with any other JS built-in. Extend it, and get on with your life.

    Correct. Contributors to MySQL code have always been required to assign copyright to MySQL AB|Sun|Oracle.

    The sources and rights thereto were vetted by Sun's lawyers when they bought MySQL AB, and again by Oracle's lawyers when they in turn bought Sun.

    Oracle have full rights to the MySQL codebase -- lock, stock, and barrel. They've made absolutely sure of this.
