Please mod parent down as flamebait. Why? This seems like a reasonable argument despite the harsh attitude. Is OpenSolaris the resource hog he says it is?

The problem that most OO/Procedural programmers have when using SQL is the inability to look at things from a set-based point of view. I've seen programmers write some nasty, horribly performing procedures because they can only think about things 1 record at a time.
Now, on that note, there are ORMs that do a great job at helping with this mentality. SqlAlchemy's Unit of Work paradigm is a serious godsend. (I only wish there were something equivalent in one of our company's "official languages")
P.S. I'm a MS SQL DBA with 4 years experience, and so you all don't think I'm a complete Microsoftie, I use Postgres at home, and there are many parts of each that I prefer. IMO the only thing it's missing to compete with MS SQL are bundled/integrated Reporting/OLAP servers

The foundation has an agreement (fairly simple, I might add, read it.) allowing them to release Qt under a BSD-style license if no major releases are made for 12 months. Although there isn't a clause stating this transfers to new owners, Nokia has tentatively agreed to support the KDE Free QT foundation.
BTW, I didn't even realize i had a freak!!! (parent) Hope I can offend you again some time!
This article comes from a website called "databasecolumn.com" they are going to look at this from a database perspective. (assuredly a *relational* database perspective)
The first sentence states
On January 8, a Database Column reader asked for our views on new distributed database research efforts, and we'll begin here with our views on MapReduce.
This indicates that they are responding to a fairly specific question, or rather a series of specific questions made by individuals who (misguidedly) asked if MapReduce (for example) seemed like an advancement beyond RDBMS's.
To me, it seems a little more like responding to your example by saying MapReduce won't work for 3D gaming development for these reasons instead of saying MapReduce has implications in other fields, but probably won't affect 3D gaming development.
If you re-read the article with this in mind, it seems more correct if still a little troll-ish.
Damn I wish I had mod points for you. for the mods that don't get it, this is from Homer Simpson
I saw this movie about a bus that had to SPEED around a city, keeping its SPEED over fifty, and if its SPEED dropped, it would explode! I think it was called "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down."
Noooo! should have previewed! should have looked like this: From Wikipedia.com
Kexi is a component of KOffice with large contributions coming since early 2003 from OpenOffice Polska company. It works under Linux/Unix, Mac OS X (using Fink), Solaris, and the Microsoft Windows operating systems; although the Windows version is neither free of cost ("freeware") nor Open Source. An open source version is set to release with KDE 4.
I only just realized it's open source on linux (I had assumed it was closed source on all platforms), so I cannot vouch for it's features, however, I used to be an "access programmer"*, so I would like to see how it compares. You can script in python or ruby. I assume it's forms are based on qt.
*: I now work at a great company as a real sql developer/junior dba, and love every second of it. It was worth the torture of working with access for my early database experience.

what problems have you had with it? I recently switched to openSUSE from Gentoo, (primarily for yast) and have been very happy with it so far.
As far as hitting company servers, you can always point your repositories to any of the mirrors (in fact, download.opensuse.org is just a redirect service IIRC). It's easy enough to say "no" when it asks if you want to register.
The interesting thing that seems to be missing from the distribution packagers is that everythin comes defaulted to the same nice level, even if you are running a "desktop" distro or "server" distro. It seems that it would make sense to set up some default nice values (or even a profile-like setup) that could assign priority to where it would be noticed the most (i.e. media, desktop interactiveness).

Of course it's bad, otherwise it wouldn't be called "Too Much"

Sounds much better!

Good comics, but their website rarely matches up with their rss feeds among other problems.
I can't possibly see any reason why having more options is a benifit
To me, that's what Linux is about, having options.
That being said, the new windows shell sounds interesting useful, if a little late to the party.
Honestly, I like glossy, metallic, and blue :)
