I just tried this attack against the local weather number. When you're the "caller", your number shows up in caller ID. When you're the "callee", the local VoIP number shows up in caller ID.
It's a trade-off. PostgreSQL has issues. (For example, I think SELECT COUNT(*) is still quite slow.) Oracle also has issues. Depending on your application, either Oracle or PostgreSQL might be more appropriate.
Also, PostgreSQL has only recently been comparable to a database like Oracle. IIRC, until a few years ago, you could only perform so many transactions before the transaction ID would wrap around, rendering the database unusual. Many people have been running Oracle for ages, and they see no need to switch.

Major operating systems aren't ready for virtualization? We could have used virtualization five years ago.
The only OS that has any sort of problem with virtualization is Windows, and there is no reason to believe that Microsoft would have suddenly fixed thingsif hardware virtualization had been put off for another 5-10 years.
Okay, you're complaining because the maintainers of a search engine don't censor things unless they're ordered by a court to do so? What would you prefer?
It's not suggesting that you could catch HIV from the diamonds, it's saying that you're funding the operation of a workplace that is conducive to the spread of HIV.
I use these sites as a referral service. They're great for finding new customers/coders, but once I've established a relationship with the other person, it's foolish to keep on using the sites.
That's also why I don't mind RAC's high fees, since the fees are peanuts compared to what I will gain from my new customers/coders in the long run.
"Windows 98, its biggest upgrade since 1995. Analysts said Win98 is a significant improvement over its predecessor, but the big question is whether it will stem Ubuntu's growth at Microsoft's expense."
IE7 is better than IE6. So what? Both are too little, too late. No significant number of people is going to switch from Firefox back to MSIE.
Microsoft should put MSIE into maintenance mode, adopt Firefox, and actually be a market leader with superior technology, for once.
Microsoft's case of not-invented-here syndrome is what made the company almost miss the Internet boat, and if they're not careful, they're going to make the same mistake again.
I sometimes wonder what a technology company (as opposed to a marketing company, which is what Microsoft is) could do with the resources that Microsoft has.
A little mudslinging, while not admirable, is something you can expect when you enter into politics. Expecting the average citizen to care much about it, just because you are a woman, is equally sexist.
While I'm not happy about it, I don't care much that Bill Clinton is a womanizer, that Peter McKay is sexist, or that the guys who shingle my roof aren't rocket scientists. What's important is that they get the job done that they were hired to do.
Furthermore, if you conclude that a person is sexist based on one soundbyte that you heard on the news, then you are the one who is being prejudiced.
And "violence against women"? WTF are you talking about?
Asshole. May your penis wither and die a sad, sad death. If you haven't already beaten it into submission by yourself.
It's simple, really: We're too busy caring about when one politician calls another politician a "dog" to worry about real things like the environment or information security.
On the other hand, it's trivial to search for particular URLs. Getting a list of users who have visited a specific site in the last 30 days wouldn't exactly be hard.

Recomposing...
"GetPidOf()"... wasn't that renamed to "Bribe()" some time ago?
I think books like that are good for programmers, even if they're idealistic. These kinds of books tell us (programmers) what to aim for.
No, they don't.
Bah. s/unusual/unusable/
Though I suppose "unusual" is true in a weird way.

Ad revenue. Every time the Slashdot editors post something inflammatory, people comment more and view more ads.
English not your first language? You missed the entire point, which was:

Part of the strength of the GPL is that is does just that: It contains over 400 words of preamble.
Are you talking about Guantanamo Bay, or just federal pound-me-in-the-ass prisons in general?

A perfect way to make it more painful if/when you get your balls or other soft tissues caught in the zipper...
