Huh? You should be able use up to 4GB on 2.6. You can run up to 64GB in a single 32-bit machine with extended addressing, but you're still limited to 4GB per process, IIRC.
(I'm no g00r00, but I can search kerneltrap.org as well as the next guy, and I call either ignorant or an attempt to troll. Given the Windows reference, I'm inclined to assume the latter.)

Actually, if you want to get *really* picky about it, there's this thing in law about "innocent until proven guilty" and having to prove guilt "beyond a reasonable doubt"...

I don't think McVoy can have it both ways. And I don't think it makes any difference whether the agreement involved any money changing hands or not.

True, but I don't think I can demand that a contribution be returned because of something that someone else (not related to the charity) did.
Come to think of it, this is all probably moot since the Samba guy wasn't a party to the agreement and didn't make use of the BK software in any case, did he?
"After the fact" refers to the fact that you can require someone not to work for a competitor while he's working for you, but can't prevent you from leaving you to work for a competitor. Or at least that's what many radio station owners have found out when trying to keep personnel from jumping ship for That Other Station Across Town.

Whether or not the condemned has had a chance to appeal has nothing to do with it.
Smalltalk, which I happen to think is a pretty cool language, is not included with most Linux distros. So no, "everything" is not necessarily so offered.
World of difference. Python is *offered* as part of most Linux distros and you do have a a pretty clear choice (not) to install it; it's not rammed down your throat with a hefty price tag attached as Windows tends to be.
(And I don't have to post code every time I want to voice an opinion about something. If you agree with it, then why are you trying to tear me down, eh?)
...then why is it found in nearly every Linux distribution?...and why is there ActivePython? BTW, I've used this with "classic ASP" and, not unlike JScript, it makes it almost a tolerable environment to use it in.
Don't you mean, "can't create a fulltext index on anything BUT MyISAM tables"?
In any case, since the source is available, there's nothing preventing anyone from adding this capability to InnoDB, or adding FK and transaction support to MyISAM.
In fact MySQL is specifically architected to allow different storage engines to be used with the server. (This is how MySQL Cluster has been implemented, for example.) Here's an article talks about how to go about writing your own storage engine. It's not as hard as you might think.

A better analogy would be Playboy dispensing with the printing of photos, and instead just sending you the negatives so you could make as many of your own prints as you liked.

I wasn't talking about generating JavaScript for use in Web pages. I was talking about using JavaScript to script the Dreamweaver UI itself. This stuff's not in the printed manual that comes with Dreamweaver or Studio MX -- see the book-length Extending Dreamweaver and Dreamweaver API PDFs on the CD.
And I didn't co-author "Professional ECMAScript, 2nd. ed." -- it was Professional JavaScript, 2nd ed., thanks very much.
Every Web browser that supports scripting supports script type="text/javascript", script language="JavaScript", or both, regardless of what the vendor might call their own implementation.

Hm, JavaScript seems to work just fine for me in the latest versions of Mozilla, FireFox, Opera, and Konqueror. And even in MSIE.
And that's only in Web browsers -- there's several server-side environments (including ASP and JSP) and desktop apps (Acrobat, Dreamweaver, Photoshop) that implement it in one way or another.

Unless things have changed radically from my radio days (early 1990s), most if not all after-the-fact no-compete clauses are unenforceable.

dyndns.org is still around, too, and works fine for me.

More like a pipette or a hypodermic needle.
Damn, I wish I had mod points today.
I'll have to settle for printing this post out and sticking it up on the wall.

You like BSD.
You don't like Linux.
And what has this to do with Python, exactly?
...then why is it found in nearly every Linux distribution? ...and why is there ActivePython? BTW, I've used this with "classic ASP" and, not unlike JScript, it makes it almost a tolerable environment to use it in.
List comprehensions rule.
I recently bought a camera (an Olympus C-725) without *gasp* checking to see if it was Linux-compatible.
/home/jon/photos.
Get home.
Plug USB cable in to USB port on PC tower.
Connect camera to USB cable.
Light on back on camera flickers a few times.
Up pops Konqueror window with file:/media/usb-197007797:0:0:0p1 in the titlebar on my desktop.
Copy photos to
Add parsely and a lemon wedge garnish. (Garnish optional.)
Serve and enjoy.
I've also had absolutely no trouble burning photos direct from the camera to CD or DVD using k3b.

Here's a good place to start.

Or you can just wait for MySQL 5.1.

Yes, updateable views were implemented in MySQL 5.0.1 (July '04).

MySQL has had foreign key support for years.

The use of stored routines, views, or triggers is not restricted to any one storage engine.

I don't know the specifics, I'm not a Java or JSP programmer. But I've read docs describing it being done.
> Dreamweaver is an editor that creates JavaScript.
This is true, but what I was alluding to is the fact that you can use JavaScript (+XML/DOM) to customise Dreamweaver's own UI.
There's also a nifty multi-platform thingo called ScriptEase that lets you use JavaScript for CGI and shell scripting.
