If I've got this right and understood the article properly:
Clients who don't like ads and use firefox can install an add-on to block ads. This denies advertisers the chance to sell their wares to those users.
So, in resoponse, advertisers are blocking all firefox users, which means denying them the chance to sell their wares to all firefox users.
Weird logic. F(Firefox users) is a subset of A(All users). The subset of (F) called B(Blocking users) decide to block our adverts, so in response we are going to block the set of users (F) which is larger than the subset of users (B) that were missing our ads in the first place?
Liberals disagree with christians so much precisely because christian ideology (well any religious ideology) is illiberal by definition. Religious ideology is about conforming to one particular view of the world.
As an example Galileo (died 1642) was only forgiven by the catholic church in 1992 for teaching the copernicanheliocentric view of the solar system.
Oh well, 350 years to accept an observable fact isn't too bad on the evolutionary timescale.;-)
Just to support that statement. People who are or who have been on the front line are usually very reluctant to start a war. They know it's the worst and last possible option.
I think the GGP was saying that the difference between column based and row based databases were like the difference between driving automatic and driving stick!;-)
Sorry, should read: "Just because you didn't sign the non-proliferation treaty doesn't absolve you when try to bomb the "shock and awe" out of another country".
... Luckily, a violin is relatively easy to tune, and it's (in theory) the job of the first violinist to ensure he has a working A, which others then can tune their instruments to....
The orchestra actually tunes itself to the most difficult instrument to tune (the oboe). The theory being that the other instruments can more easily tune to it, than it can to them.
Natural/Just temperements have some interesting side effects. Bach (and some other composers) always claimed that if you played the same piece in a higher or lower key (even a semi-tone) that the whole mood changed. This would make sense as the beats between A and C# (key of A) and the beats between C and E (key of C) would be different in Natural Temperement.
... we may all be born with perfect pitch but the vast majority of us soon lose this...
I think the point the GP is making is that no-one can be born with it as the 12-tone system is a man-made invention. Very experienced musicians are aware of what A is because over time they have learned what A is through the constant use when tuning instruments.
The demo is based on the Wikipedia dump dated February 6, 2007. The demo contains pages that are contiguous in the dump; pages were not selected manually or individually. The demo contains the last 50 revisions of each page (or fewer, for pages with fewer revisions).
Occasonally, the coloring breaks the Wikimedia interpretation of the markup language. We are trying to resolve all such issues by locating the coloring information appropriately.
Memory use shouldn't be at 100%. Nowhere near it, in fact. Generally you buy extra memory to stop it being used up. Memory running at 100%, or close to it, all the time is hopeless as the computer will run like a dog.
I have an uncle who built his own solar panels (basically just lots of thin water pipes under glass) on his roof to heat the water for the house, and the water actually got too hot at times. (and we are in Scotland).

Some people's journals have thousands of entries, which would be impossible for a user to continually check through. It would be much easier for the webmaster to have a small program that loops through the users, and their entries, does a quick check on any links to other sites (e.g. for "bad" words etc...) then emails the user with a warning (it could even keep track of how many warnings a user had been sent). It could just run as a background service continually and start from the beginning again when it's finished.

Thanks goodness, a sensible post. No mod points available but well said.
Surely there's only one outcome to that one.
Make your own ending to that one.
Hust to be pedantic, not many people call themselves grammar nazis. It's usually a label someone else gives them. I get your point though.

There's your answer right there

I am presuming (perhaps wrongly) that indexes can be created agains columns in column stored DBs which would speed things up.
I think the GGP was saying that the difference between column based and row based databases were like the difference between driving automatic and driving stick! ;-)
Sheesh, if only someone would invent triggers. Oh, they have?
I suspect it's not America they hate, it's the decisions of the administration.

Just because you didn't sign the non-proliferation treaty doesn't absolve you when toy bomb the "shock and awe" out of another country.

Oh wait, you do.
There, fixed that for you. Now it makes perfect sense!
Absolute moral code?

Good post (don't have mod points just now).

I think the point is that they are quieter (stealth?)
Client? What client?
