...or if the application you're dealing with assumes or in some way depends on the case insensitive behavior of MySQL. That alone could make switching pretty rough.
To be fair to MySQL, the case-insensitive behavior is following the SQL standard. Not to say that I like the idea, but it is in the standard.
The law is not here to persecute people who are likely to commit a true crime, it's here to persecute those who have.
Not trying to be annoyingly pedantic here, but I believe (or at least hope) the word you were looking for is "prosecute", not "persecute". There is quite a difference in definition.
Then again, maybe "persecute" is the right word for this discussion.
I didn't say that managers don't make decisions for engineers. My point is that a good manager will let the engineers make the technical decisions that they are better qualified to make, such as what programming languages, databases, or other software components to use for a given project.
Managers without technical backgrounds tend to be wilfully, aggressively ignorant, and they will always trust their fellow MBA's over the people such as the engineers and accountants who actually know what's going on.
While I won't argue the correlation, you're still using a generalization. A good manager can say "this is what needs to be done" and help keep everyone on track, but let more knowledgeable engineers make technical decisions about how to complete the task. The large number of bad managers out there doesn't change what it means to be a good manager.
A good manager doesn't necessarily need to be knowledgeable about technology; they need to trust the engineers working for them to make correct decisions.
Uh, I like the show and all, but it's rather ironic that a couple of "celebrities" can get their hands on 500 pounds of this stuff and use it, when Average Joe can't manage to buy 50 pounds of "enriched" manure from Home Depot without tripping the "terrorist" flag at Homeland Security...
They also have consultants from nearly every law enforcement agency, and they often use military facilities for performing demonstrations. I'm pretty sure they have at least one signature from someone not directly employed by the show that's authorized to buy the materials.
It seems likely that the pressure of the blast may have been affected by weather or something to keep it traveling fast at ground level, which would have been unpredictable by all but the most learned of explosive experts.
That was my thought, too. I'm not an explosives expert by any means, but I would guess that something like the exact layout of buildings or topography could deflect or focus the shock waves enough to affect windows a few hundred feet farther away than what they predicted.
Experience? They are special effects guys, they have done all of maybe 2 or 3 really large explosions and all of them were oversaw by professionals because most of the stuff they deal with is not generally available. They aren't exactly blasting/munitions experts.
Presumably, this explosion was no different. That should imply that the fault doesn't lie with the Mythbusters crew, but with the professionals that were overseeing this demonstration.
People around the world should also abolish there own primitive religions.
There is one good reason for that, among many others to do this. To make the world a better place.
The human race can do so much, and can have so good live. We don't need a world with poverty, wars and disease. The human race is on the technological point that those things can be abolished all together.
Sadly, some people are more keen to hold on there to there own greed, power and religion bad ideas then to improve the world around them.
For the record. I am an atheist and I want the world to be a better place for everyone.
So are you a member of the United Atheist Alliance or the United Atheist League? And what happens when those sea otters from the Allied Atheist Alliance come after you?
So SJG suggested we use the term scientific fact to keep the creotards from using a semantics argument to suggest that even scientists don't believe that evolution by natural selection occurs or explains life on our world. He proposed a definition of a scientific fact as: "confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent."
Oh, come on. MySQL suffers from the same thing that PHP does; that it's industry standard and easy to use.
The bigger thing that they both suffer from is having a rather poor history. The problem with people saying how bad they are is that the complaints are based on old versions. PHP5 is much better than PHP4 or PHP3, and MySQL is steadily becoming something resembling a real database (5.0 is good, in particular if you use InnoDB, 4.1 was decent, but anything below 4.1 barely qualifies as a database).
From the article:
"If there were an obvious interaction between a superconducting films and gravitational waves, wouldn't Gravity Probe B have picked them up somehow?.....As it turns out, the experiment has been throwing out anomalous results ever since it was launched......The team has puzzled over them for years now....."
I really do love those moments in science when something you have puzzled over for years may have an elegant answer after all.

Take a look at the beginning of that verse (Genesis I, 5): vayikra Elohim la'or yom, And God called the light "day". This is several verses before the creation of the sun, so this clearly can't mean a literal solar day. If it doesn't mean a solar day in this sentence, it's not a very big jump to say that it doesn't mean a solar day in the next sentence. What length of time this "day" might be is wide open to interpretation (of which I'm sure there are plenty).
I don't know Hebrew, maybe "yom" could stand for "turn" or "phase" or something like that?
No, it translates literally as day, but just like in English, it doesn't always literally mean a solar day. I already gave two English examples, but it is also used in Hebrew to refer to some arbitrary point in time. If I remember it correctly, "hayom habah" (literally "the day to come") just means some time in the future.
What we need is a modern religion, that accepts its place as mainly a moral + philosophical system, with just a bit of reality TV thrown in for its pedagogical and entertainment value. And please, no political, financial... agenda.
I think what you want to look at is some of the newer branches of Christianity (I don't know specifics, though it seems like Catholicism is generally moving in that direction) and Judaism (Reform for sure, as well as many centrist and Reform-leaning Conservative congregations).

The original Star Wars movies were meant to be more or less a space opera. The war pretty much was the story.
The new Star Wars movies were meant to just make easy money by exploiting the name.
Because it's easier than coming up with new characters in a new story.

To be fair to MySQL, the case-insensitive behavior is following the SQL standard. Not to say that I like the idea, but it is in the standard.
To expand on that a bit, MySQL as a whole is GPL, while PostgreSQL is BSD licensed.
Ad slogans are encroaching on this end. They take ordinary usages out of parlance with a slight twist to tie in with a product brand.
Are you sure that's copyright and not trademark?
In Nice, France, you'll see whole families nude including grandma, grandpa...
Now if there's anything the FCC should work to keep off television, that's it right there.
Actually, here in America, you don't have to "prove your innocence." You're presumed innocent, and it's up to the prosecution to prove you guilty.
You must be old here.

Kind of insane really since being an MCSE doesn't mean shit...

I believe this is why mathematics is not considered science.

Isn't that what science uses the word "law" for?

Religion is the anti-thesis of science because you are not allowed to question in religion.
Speaking from personal experience, this is very nearly completely untrue in Judaism.
When was the last time anybody happened to say, "you know the bible/koran/tora needs updating, let's change a few paragraphs shall we."
Most likely not the most recent example, but see Reform Judaism
