Here in Australia this year you get a Christmas $1050 bonus if you're in a couple, and a $1400 bonus if you're single, if you're within a certain low tax threshold or on a pension.
You know the economy is getting weird when the poor are getting the nice Christmas bonus while the middle class pay for it.
How about giving the KHTML team some credit for writing WebKit? It seems like only yesterday that Apple forked KHTML from Konqueror.
It's definitely the most impressive thing about KDE that they wrote such a good rendering engine that both Apple and Google ended up using it, but you always hear Apple getting praise for WebKit but never the KHTML team. (A bit like OS X and BSD I suppose, but more so)
Instead of testing whether 2000 random IPs are in a given range, then moving onto the next range, why not order the IPs using an index and use an outer join to output their country (because they'll already be sorted into ranges).
If you want to sort a bunch of people into different height ranges you usually order them all first and then split them, instead of measuring the height of each person.
That's silly; IPs are 32 bit numbers, and MySQL has functions INET_NTOA and INET_ATON specifically to allow IPs to be easily stored as integers.
Looking at his query I'm not really sure what he's trying to do, but it's a full join without join clause or an index on one of the tables which throws up a few red flags. Whatever the guy was trying to do can probably be done in a much better way.
If MySQL can't do inefficient queries efficiently I don't care. It does efficient queries like the ones that run my site (and this one, and google) quick enough.
Not a fanboy, can't comment on 5.1, but "someone optimize my query" isn't a good database criticism.
Yeah fast food and sugar causes alzheimers, how blindingly obvious is that?
Actually why is that obvious? Alzheimers is caused by the inability for neurons to clean up after themselves properly, it's not obvious at all and in fact this statistical link might not even be correct because we are currently only theorizing on the mechanism.
Why the first two replies are commenting on the obviousness of this I have no idea.
It's an ad about a $200+ phone, demonstrating how fast the phone is, but the performance displayed was beyond what the phone is physically capable of.
I don't think the burger comparison is even worth pursuing; that was a $5 burger at a fast food outlet, and theoretically an employee who took the time to make a good one could have given you a burger that looked like the advertised one.
It's more like if Dell advertised a laptop with hardware specs from 2 years ago and showed it playing Crysis at 40fps. When you got home and your frame rate was 10fps you wouldn't think "oh it's just an ad, I should have expected them to exaggerate the performance"
More features and functionality generally means less performance, this is true of all real OSes.
Also anyone who has studied computer science will know an OS exists for a certain class of hardware; an OS will often work worse on older hardware, but work better than an old OS on newer hardware. Again, this is true of all real OSes.
I bet if you put the specs on eLance, there'd be a company in Romania somewhere bidding to do it for about $427.33, give or take a few dollars:)
I've had my open source code plagiarized and sold on as their own work by a Romanian "development" company called fyb.ro (though they sold it on for ~$4000 and my code is rather less than the linux kernel), but in principle I actually wouldn't be surprised at all.:-)

I didn't think there was a laundry list of things smart companies do (except ignoring laundry lists)
(Also you also get another $1000 per dependant child, and children over 16 get the $1000 given straight to them)

From my impression an Apple update causing major system trouble really isn't news.

And that's no problem most of the time because the banks they store the money in are in the business of loaning the money out through various schemes.
As we're seeing now though you can't rely on that during economic downturns.

NoScript?
But does it handle large web apps (which V8 was designed for) as well?
V8 (and Chrome in general) is the software form of a bet that the web is going to host larger and larger applications.
Realizing the program you wrote out-performs you and you can't explain why is a rather odd feeling.
It really is, but it's very satisfying :-)
I'm with a competing ISP (Amnet) and I'm very impressed with iiNet's response and attitude to this
It's mandatory, if they don't perform the trial some other ISP might and it'll then be pushed out to everyone. They want to participate in the trial.
It's reentering into the ocean to the east of Mexico
And this happens all the time too. It's spooky how abstract questions seem to always be applicable
Get over yourself

This is so tiresome, they used a network stack from some other company which derived theirs from the BSD stack, and it was dropped long before XP.
This'll never happen.. what a dumb idea
Dare I ask; what's wrong with \ as a namespace separator?
Pfff, 25-mark. Wake me up when they get the 26-mark.
