If the purpose of the database is mainly for to answer some queries (i.e., mainly reads) and you are not using transactions, MySQL might be the right answer, as long as you don't need to use more sofisticated stuff, like triggers or transactions.
In theese cases, MySQL tend to give the user faster response times then PostgreSQL but, again, if you use PostgreSQL you are probrably also taking advantage of PostgreSQL more sofisticated fetures.
Once most websites just use a database to store data that is seldon updated, it's natural that most websites continue to use MySQL.
he just doesn't know where the hell he is (still in the parking lot).
I know you just pretending to be funny, but really, it depends on too many factors. If that happens to be your case, I strongly advise you not to smoke... or not to drive;-)
It's not my case, thought. I drive since 1975, surely more then 500 000 Kms with a total of the 3 minor accidents with no injuries and one of those wasn't even my fault.
Once again, it depends on the "drug", but mostly, it depends on you!
And as a last thought, are you seriously going to sit there and say a U.S. citizen has more to worry about from their government than a citizen of *Putin's Russia*? Than any Chinese citizen?
Well, in both countries they have controlled elections as well, and 9/11 showed us that the US government doesn't hesitate in killing its own citizens (or let them be killed) just to start another war to give the (military) industry a push... no, they are not that different, it's just a matter of style:-(
I think my biggest beef with Ubuntu is the RootSudu. I understand the whole disable root login notion, I just can't get used to it. I work faster when I'm really root. I'll just use a strong password.
Just try 'sudo su', it will get you a root session -- as long as you are in the admin group;-)
Bad example. As far as I know tobacco has never been illegal... not even in the USA.
But you can think about what happened in the USA when they prohibited alcohol... Al Capone, remember? The difference is that he now lives in Washington, I heard;-)
The economical way to deal with the problem would be to buy the coca and opium crops from their home countries, sell the pure finished products in government stores, and tax the hell out of it, making it still 1/100th the price of the illegal version for guaranteed quality.
Don't you see the point? If it is illegal there are no taxes, so the money runs directelly into their pockets;-)
"I wouldn't want my 7 year old telling his teacher to go to hell either."
It just depends on to what teacher his saying that... I can remember some that actually deserved hearing nastier words than that, eventually with some kind of torture along with, but I believe that I didn't attend to the same school as you did;-)
Well, I hope you don't have kids... at least, I would find very borying to have you as my father... ("don't do this, don't say that, don't think!")
I have kids! And they have never misbehave in public, thought sometimes, in private, they say fuck or shit or... whatever, but one have to understand that when they do it is usually for testing our reaction to a new word they heard from some friend... once we explain them that is not socially acceptable to say them in public, they never use it again (in public, I mean).
But, as too many have stated, is just a matter of culture (or lack of)...

You bet! At least it helped a lot.

"I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire"!
The author, though largely criticised by many sectors of the church and the media (and also my grand mother), is still alive and kicking :-D
That's free speech!!!
Do not be evil (no more) :-(
Thought there were lots of complains from the church and the conservatives, no one was beaten or thrown to the fire... that's free speach!
Be no Evil (no more) :-(
Only on the desktop, my friend ;-)
At least, half of the worlds web servers are running "another OS", have fixed IPs and are known to be reliable.
So you argument, at least, doesn't aplly to web servers ;-)
Just remember that they don't pay taxes, just some gratifications to the local law officer ;-)
Sure it's the users! But in the case of windoze systems, the OS helps a lot ;-)
But f you stick to the ISAM engine, MySQL has to perform better than a true DBMS. I've used both, and that's my private statistics ;-)
Once we're developing a ERP system, it would be insane to use MySQL (no stored procedures, no triggers, strange SQL sintax...).

Hmmmm... you're not american, right?

Hey, wait!
Wasn't Saddam in the payroll of US government (some years ago, when they were at war with Iran)?
And what about Bin Laden, who got tons of dollars from the CIA before the Taliban took the power?
Just try 'sudo su', it will get you a root session -- as long as you are in the admin group ;-)
Yeah! Sure, she's a freak and she must be benned!
Probably, she's a witch too! Burn! Burn! Burn!
Anyway, americans have never been famous for their sense of humour ;-)
Perhaps with a chimp leading them, no?
Or, quoting an old arab saying: "beware of what you wish, because you might get it!"
