> NoSQL is an ideology, and anyone you hear who uses that term is an ideologue.
You're sounding a little ideologue-ish yourself. :) NoSQL is a term of limited use since there is such a huge variety of non-relational database technologies, but that doesn't mean using it makes you an ideologue any more than someone using the term "dynamic languages," which is similarly broad. |

Pretty sure Atom doesn't support ECC memory. Running a server w/o ECC is a bad idea.

Clearly they're talking about the CG source, not the rendered result.

I agree that evaluating whether to switch to a solution now, or wait for something even better, is always a question you should ask.
But the term "vaporware" exists for a reason. Waiting for something that may or may not be everything it's promised is risky too. The Maglev ruby VM is a good example; they were demo-ing close to 10x performance a couple years ago, but when they finished implementing the fully ruby spec it was something like... 20% faster. A lot can change when you go from demo-ware to a real production ready product. Neither Fathom nor Volt is going to be at Cassandra levels of stability in 3 months. More like a year... if things go well. |

"I can't imagine they made it harder to replace the HDD."
Start imagining. You need a mini-torx screwdriver to get the hdd out, once you get the cover off (8 phillips screws). Not the end of the world, but not too many people have a T8 sitting around. I didn't. |

They're hoping that the free publicity attracting _good_ developers who otherwise wouldn't have heard about Redgate, will outweigh having to sift through some extra chaff.

Well, it's a mixed bag.
Top causes of death in the US, 2009: Heart disease: 631,636. From what I have read, heart attacks are painful but usually over with quickly. Living with a pacemaker or heart surgery can suck but I'd definitely take that over lung cancer. Cancer: 559,888. Notably, includes other smoking-related cancers (esophageal, pancreatic, etc) besides just lung. Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 137,119. Again, over with quickly if it kills you. It's when it doesn't kill you and leaves you half-paralyzed that it sucks. Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 124,583. "80% to. 90% of all patients with chronic lower respiratory disease have a history of smoking." Accidents (unintentional injuries): 121,599. No idea how this generalizes. Probably "not as bad as cancer," overall. Diabetes: 72,449. Unusually non-painful, for something that kills you, although some of the side effects are a bitch (e.g., going blind). Insulin shots or IVs to try to control blood sugar levels are also fairly non-painful as medical intervention goes. Alzheimer's disease: 72,432. I'd take lung cancer, if I had to pick. |

I bet if I googled hard enough I could find one of these articles for every state in the union.

It looks like the answer is "it's pretty damn noisy everywhere we measured."

You don't say which HTC phone it is, but I don't think any of them have 2.2 yet...
