Let me get this straight, Istanbul was Constantinople? So, now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople? I guess its been a long time gone, when they used Constantinople. Hmm... Why did Constantinople get the works? I know i shouldn't ask since it's probably nobody's business but the Turks.
Oh my, when you people get it? MySQL is NOT a database.
It doesn't look like a database, it doesn't smell like a database. It's doesn't even taste like a database. And only the really nascent to the db scene would say it looks like a database.
It happens to have an language interface that on some level partially coincicdes with what many people think SQL should be. But, that's where it starts, and that's where it ends.
I'm not saying MySQL is a bad product. It's a wonderful product for quick web development and easy access to data, but calling it a database is like Win9x user saying they had a BSoD.
IIRC, Clinton helped pass the law that can prosecute a traveler upon return, if the trip was for such acts with someone considered am minor in the US, even if considered an adult elsewhere.
Worst part of tech support is that tech support is the most in touch with the customer, yet marketing never actually talks to them.
(Some yeara go...)After doing tech support for twenty months, and filling up "standard replies" that ended up becoming most of their online database, it bothered me that noone asked me what the people thought. Further, my second year got me a measly 5% raise from the original 26k. Then they hired new people at 35K. When i complained they offered to match, at which point i told them about this little thing called trust. So, i quit (i let them fill my position first) and started looking for a new job. That was one main reason i left, at least.
Ultimately, tech support know more about the company base users than anybody else. Why they are treated like dirt is unknown to me. It's like a person denigrating his own feet because they sit so low.
However, they did choose to be ignorant (in a sense, they chose not to read or ask about it). Therefore, the choice is indirect.
And, considering the plethora of information on the subject, and the people who would enthusiatically explain it, if asked (however slightly) i feel it should be treated as a real choice.
The problem with your comment is that none of that means Windows is in any way "better," just that it is vastly more popular.
In one sense.
However, the way i see it. People choose it for a reason. Many are because it's just what's there, nearly ubiquitous. However, many people seriously find it easier to use.
But because of that extra learning time, and the knowledge gained from it, I was able to complete the task vastly quicker and more efficently than the simpler interface provided.
Bingo! And that's why i use it. Well, that and i don't like when Windows does things for me. (Though most people seem to like it.)
Heh, before i learned C i read about Assembly. Now it all makes sens to me. (Glad that guy told me to do it.) I passed on the tradition.
Didja realize when he spoke of Linux he was enthusiastic, but when he spoke of Windows it seems someone was forcing him to do it. It's also filled with excuses "The large volume...seduces", "The lower cost...".
I may despise Windows, but i'll never say it isn't a good OS. If you want to make money, it's better for development, and development tools are easier. Like AOL, UI is key to Microsoft, and many, if not most, developers want that. Plus, tools for the braindead like VB and it's ilk are in abundance with help files, technical support, and addins. It's debugging is usually superior to Linux because it goes line by line, making it an excellent tool for the beginner.
I like Linux, and Linux is robust. I am learning to use C with a friend right now, and we login to my Debian box via SSH to get it done. But one thing is for sure, it ain't as easy. (Which is half the reason i want it that way, but that's another story.)
Linux is more secure, if you know what you are doing. To the average idiot, buying Windows and Symantec's security suite is ten times better. It works out of the box, it has support, and is updated for viruses.
But the "reviewer" didn't even get into overall usuability.
Windows is better, hands down because everyone knows it, it's UI is beautiful and easy to use to most people, there is a great deal of software support for it, and games are written for it. If you are willing to spend money, there's nearly nothing you can do with Linux that you can't do with Windows.
For the techy, however, Linux can be better in that it is control, speed, and reliability. Futhermore, debugging tools such as having the source, using strace, or having knowledgeable people in the newsgroups or mailing lists that speak Geek and are overall familiar with the techy nomenclature, can be a boon and a welcome diversion from the ignorance found amongst Windows support personell.
But, for the non-techy trying to save cash, or the techy trying to save time, the "other" OS may be better.
So much for my opinion. But (in my opinion!) it's alot less biased than his.
Behold the room of circle square, Wherever it be, no matter where, For when we enter it hollow space, The real is gone, without a trace.
Oh, to enter that seductive wheel Virtual entities are so surreal, The actual, but, imperfections corrected, We can blindly forget that they are projected.
And where the triangles are a bit too outright, We'll turn a blind eye, enjoying the site, And when the framerate and just doesn't make it, We'll cry for a bit, but then mitigate it.
The call of the future, the holodeck cometh! The hail of technology, there's no hiding from it. As the real is so useless, it reeks with banality, We don't want it at all, we want virtual reality.
SQL is the *only* properly written language out there. No extras words (except perhaps "INTO" after "INSERT"). The addition of the ANSI OUTER JOIN synbtax is confusing though.

Rick Santorum is a great impassioned speaker. Agree or not with his ideas, but he's as good as Robert Byrd.
*punches buttons*
I am now telling the software company _exactly_ what it can do with a lifetime supply of chocalate.
The insanity is driving me crazy.
Funny that fox news has a "bias" and NYT is just "left-leaning".
:)
Methinks you revealed too much of your own bias without being open about it.
The world is actually 3.14 quadrillion years old, so this is just a piece of the pi.
We now share our pain! :)
Remember that Constantinople (now Istanbul)
Let me get this straight, Istanbul was Constantinople? So, now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople?

How about storing them in succeeding levels of more and more radiation. With the hope that they'll stop digging once they get sick.
:)
Hmm... they could even provide free samples.
don't bring her into Michigan.
Ot you don't return yourself.

What's a three-digit id anyway?
Behavior address how we percieve and judge, according to Jung. This has a powerful impact on daily work, where the employee puts in alot of his own.
You think *that's* bad.... http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&wo rd1=emacs&word2=vi
True.

Wow, an actual reply. Thanx. :)

You did not help the cause of promoting Linux.
:)
Unbiased opinions be damned. Promote Linux or else. Heh.

Thanx for the link!
OK, by getting serious you're taking the fun out of it. :)
:-P
I just wanted to see what i could type.
And you have no JEs, so i couldn't get your attention there.
Isn't that what it very well addresses?
Did you forget
(x^y)-((x^x)/y)*C(#78b)
Ridiculous. More heat, and people get tired.
Anyone who has worked in aan office can see that.
*Shortcoming* of SQL?
You've got to be kidding./
SQL is the *only* properly written language out there. No extras words (except perhaps "INTO" after "INSERT"). The addition of the ANSI OUTER JOIN synbtax is confusing though.
Please, please, please, don't change SQL.
