I cannot answer for Ruby, but for Java/JDBC this is only true for the first call to a prepared statement.
For the second and subsequent calls to a prepared statement, a prepared statement is always better or at worst equivalent. With connection and prepared statement pooling, performance can be improved dramatically.
Note that this all depends on the database and the driver, as some databases do not cache query plans or the driver does not properly coordinate the query plan with the database.
There is no simple answer, as this all depends on the database and the application.
we would have still be owning slaves like the ancient egyptians
How about a nearer analogy, we would have still be owning slaves like the early non-native Americans.
Ownership of slaves was far more widespread in the U.S. than in Egypt. Egyptian slaves had far more rights than American slaves, they could even own property. Slavery was rare in Egypt until the Greek period (due to invasion), which may indicate a decline in morality related to Western (forced) influence.
yahoo is still quite profitable, they are not going to "run out of money" soon. It has about 6 billion in revenue, with at least 600 million in profits for the last year (through 10/2006).
This thing is completely useless in defending against a North Korean attack. These things are sitting ducks against an invasion. They will nicely kill refugies though. This is just another way to waste the tax payers money.
Laws are made to punish those who create a situation.
No, punishment is the means by which the power of the law is used to prevent that which is not allowed by putting forth a consequence for the illegal action. For those who will commit some sort of act, the risk of getting caught and the potential consequences have a direct effect on whether and how often the law would be broken.
The intent of a law is to regulate behavior, not to punish.
The US rarely lends anyone money with the exception of financing arms sales. Money lent to third world countries, is done via the IMF. The loans are guaranteed by the member nations. The US only assumes a fraction of this risk.
The US government never cared about human rights violations except as leverage. For the US (like most countries), commerce (i.e. Big Business) and control always comes before human rights.
This is not really a $100 laptop. If any normal company designed it, got financing, marketed it etc., they would have to charge at least $200, probably a bit more.
And it's not really a normal laptop. It could be used in situations where a normal laptop would be useless (i.e. no power).
The fact is that you could get one for just a little more than it's worth and at the same time help out two third world children.
BS, they made Microsoft's operating system usable. If they had not, the internet would have ceased to be accessible from a windows machine.
All OS subsyetms should be replacable, especially this one from a vendor who in more than 10 years could not get control of security.
Microsoft is the biggest parasite on the entire computing industry. They've innovated little, stolen much and used their monoploy to reduce choice and substantially overprice.
No, the odds do really matter. Most things that are possible that will never happen because the odds are too great, they are much higher than any of these numbers you speculate. If you want to speculate on all the things that "could" happen, you can do it all day.
Evolution happens bit by bit, so for an organism to exist, it needs to be in an environment that is hospitable enough to allow molecules to become more and more complex, to allow organisms to evolve and adapt. After all, it is "possible" for the all right atoms/molecules to align and create a human being.
The question should really be since this organism can exist, what other environments are possible (i.e. besides a planet) where something could evolve similar to this.
In an infinite universe, that has no end, will all things possible happen?
subjective, let's see a quote from a blogger "Perfectly OK to show our soldiers getting killed, but they'll be damned if they allow that anti-democrat ad," added "Spaceman Spiff" in a "Newsbusters online dialogue. "This [is] very scary to me. However, not surprising. But, now that they are owned by Google, we'll certainly be seeing a lot more of this censoring."
let's see this quote from the article Sheffield said he believes the intention of YouTube's "censorship squad" was to limit access. Even though the same
video may be available somewhere else, such as the Drudge Report, "lots of non-political and moderate folks don't read Drudge, but they might hear about the video from a friend and try to look it up in the search engine, only to be foiled in their attempts to decide whether it was truly 'objectionable.'"
and another gem of reporting Bloggers also reported that the Council on American Islamic Relations has in the past taken steps to have anti-radical Islamist videos pulled from the YouTube site, and Malkin said she was told her video was pulled because it was "inappropriate."
This article is an opinion piece, it looks nothing like a factual article. It uses quotes form unknown bloggers as evidence. It presents only one side of the story. It does not try for even a second to be objective.
For a factual article, it does not know when the movie was posted, how long it was freely availble, how long it was restricted and when it came unrestricted again. It makes a big deal out of nothing because youtubes policy is to investigate after someone marks a video as objectionable. These idiots would be all over youtube if they ran a different policy because children could be potentially exposed to nudity.
This article is about a censorship that is not even a censorship but the normal processes at google.
This article simply attempts to resell the story to the American public that the media has liberal bias.
another problem is that in america kids usually have too much computer access rather than too little
While this is true, there are many children in the U.S. with very little access. These are the children who would benefit from these, not the average suburban brat. Politically, our current administration would like to get rid of public schools, much less fund an iniative to aid the poor.
He was not put in this position, he ran for election. If he was unqualified, which is obvious, he had no business running. The fact is that he is a caricature of a president who is the tool of his handlers.
Good job! nearly 3000 soldiers dead, 20,000-40,000 wounded. Well more than 100,000 Iraqis dead, untold numbers wounded. Iraq has become a breeding ground for terrorists.
Afghanistan on the brink of civil war. Secret prisons. Torture. Full frontal attack on American civil rights. The list goes on.
Lies , lies and more lies to the American people.
Ordinary joe? He's a liar who used his lies to start a war. This is one of the worst crimes a human can commit. It is so sad that you have such a poor view of the ordinary joe.
I have no extensions installed and only the flash plugin. FF has been open for 4 hours and is using 408 MB. I guess I need to install these extensions/plugins in order to reduce my memory usage.
Absolutley. I've had FF use 1.3GB of memory on a !G system. Typically it will grow to 600-700MB before I restart it. I've seen this with every version of firefixx and seamonkey on both linux and windows (i've not used it on OS X or unix). This is with no extensions installed and only the flash plugin.
While these extensions may all have memory problems, they are not the main cause of memory leaks in Firefox. With none but the default settings causes the browser to constantly eat memory, there is a problem. This is consistent in both Firefox and Seamonkey. Somewhere in the common code is a memory leak and the developers do not want to fix it. The problem may be difficult to find or it may be a serious architecture flaw that cannot be easily fixed but this has been a "feature" of this code base for a long time. I've seen firefox grow to 1.3GB on my system. This is without any plugins/extensions installed except flash.
This is a real problem and I wish that those of you who don't see it would stop telling everyone that it is their fault. Most firefox users probably never install any plugins/extensions yet many of them have the problem.
They may not be able to win this one, but they keep up the fight and they make the populace more aware of what's going on. They also let the administration know that they must fight each time something like this happens. Just by fighting for our rights, they slow down those who will take them away and the awaken the American public as to what their government and industry is doing. They may even make some of those involved question what they are doing.
This is not about a single lawsuit but about how we will live in the future and what our rights will be.
This about preventing the creation of a police state in a time where technology can (or will be able to) make life a living hell.

it could also protect against cell phone brain cancer
It's more like Ballmer the Hut.

This is not porn. Every image of the nude human form is not porn.

Like Cuba would attack a U.S. base, no matter how illegal it's existence is.
I'm sure he'll be good at getting the civilian body count up.

I believe you mean Scarlett Johansson.
I agree. I'm paying for a foreign invasion I'm not using. Any ideas?
