    You should be asking:
    SQL Vs. NoSQL: Which Is Better For What?

  2. Re:Partisan content? on NBC Purchases MSNBC Rights From Microsoft · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "NBC aims to be objective"

    You're talking about the same NBC that edited the Zimmerman tape? The same NBC that edited the Romney video to change the context? Right?

  3. Makes sense on Objective-C Overtakes C++, But C Is Number One · · Score: 1

    There's a C compiler for almost every platform. And most of the compilers/interpreters for other languages are written in C.

  4. Re:Was Jesus riding Nessie? on Fundamentalist Schools Using "Nessie" To Disprove Evolution · · Score: 1

    The way our education system is going, one day math will be dumbed down to cat-level.

  5. Overeaction? on Fundamentalist Schools Using "Nessie" To Disprove Evolution · · Score: 1

    That quote doesn't seem to be saying anything about evolution at all. It is just asking the question "Are dinosaurs alive today?"

  6. Bathroom? on NASA Finds Major Ice Source In Moon Crater · · Score: 2

    Great, they found were the astronauts peed.

  7. Re:RoP on Anti-Education Attack Poisons 150 Afghan Schoolgirls · · Score: 3, Informative

    Or in this case, change it back!

  9. Re:Good luck with that fair trial thing on Zimmerman Charged With 2nd-Degree Murder · · Score: 3, Informative

    Zimmerman's Hispanic. Why would a white supremacist cause a hung jury?

  10. Great on Japanese ATMs To Use Palm Readers In Place of Cash Cards · · Score: 1

    Great, now instead of just stealing your card they're going to hold you at gunpoint and take you to the ATM. Plus now they'll know your birthday!

  11. Connected? on Sony Projects Record Losses of $6.4 Billion · · Score: 1

    "slash about 10,000 jobs by the end of the year...annual net loss to a record $6.4 billion"

    So they're expecting the people who were laid off to walk out with $6.4 billion in office supplies?

  12. Re:My First Computer on Jack Tramiel, Founder of Commodore Business Machines, Dies At Age 83 · · Score: 1

    "The computer that started my love, and now my career, was an Atari ST" Me too!

    I spent hours playing games on my ST, and I got started programming because of an article in Atari Explorer magazine. I can remember waking up face down on the keyboard of my ST.

  13. Lifehacker on Gawker Media To Require Commenters' Facebook, Twitter, Or Google Logins · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I really wish someone would buy Lifehacker. I really like it but not Gawker.

  14. Re:Looks a bit like Powerpoint. on Microsoft Demos Metro UI For Enterprise Apps · · Score: 1

    I played with the Consumer Preview the other day. Me and my boss couldn't figure out how to shut it down and ended up just pressing the power button.

  15. Re:Two Groups on Microsoft Releases ASP.NET MVC Under the Apache License · · Score: 1

    I didn't mean it as formal divisions, I meant there are two types of people working there -- those with a developer mindset (mostly like the devs you mentioned) and ....others. It seems to be mostly the developers (in whatever division they work in) that want to do the cool things.

  16. Two Groups on Microsoft Releases ASP.NET MVC Under the Apache License · · Score: 1

    It seems to me there are two groups inside Microsoft -- Developers and Managers. Developers want to do things like this. Managers want to prevent things like this. Looks like the devs won this one.

  17. Better headline on Findings Cast Doubt On Moon Origins · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't the headline say "Findings Cast Doubt On Current Moon Origin theories"?

  18. Re: Metro Going Away on Microsoft Demos Metro UI For Enterprise Apps · · Score: 1

    The first step though, before it goes away, is to try renaming it.

    How could OnLive not be legit -- they were approved by Apple for the App Store! :-)

  20. Re:Google App store should allow filter by funding on Free Apps Eat Your Smartphone Battery · · Score: 1

    I've made very little money with my paid, no ads app. My next app is going to have ads just so I can see if there's any difference.

  21. Good news, bad news on Windows Remote Desktop Exploit In the Wild · · Score: 1

    For a hacker the good news would be they have control of a Windows machine. The bad news would be...they have control of a Windows machine.

  22. Re:I am not surpised on Connecticut Considers Digital Download Tax · · Score: 1

    "Do you think prices would decrease if corporate taxes were abolished?"

    If they wanted to sell more, yes.

  23. More than just hardware on Should Snatching an iPhone Be a Felony? · · Score: 1

    Once you factor in the required contract and data plan, you're talking thousands of dollars.

  24. Can you say "two year contract"?
    It works both ways.

  25. AT&T Press Conference on AT&T Clarifies Data Limitations On "Unlimited" Data Plans · · Score: 1

    Today AT&T held a press conference at which it's spokesman said:

    There's been much talk about our unlimited data plans. Mostly about what unlimited means. To clarify, we at AT&T use the Abridged Orwell Dictionary, which clearly defines "unlimited" as: "Restricted in size, amount, or extent; few, small, or short"
