It seems that many are pleased with Google's win over Oracle. 

At one level it is but no longer can it be said that Google is the little guy. Oracle is now the company fighting to survive... 

Yes, the company is still a huge force in the database world but no longer does it hold the attention it once got. Its main strengths are its loyal customers but no longer are new companies embracing Oracle as they once did. Now they have become one of many data management companies. Oracle has gained a reputation of being a stickler for patent rights and the battle with Google is just one such fight.

It all started with Sun. This company was one of the computers world's greatest innovators. Unfortunately it was not as equally good in management or in marketing itself. Sun created so many great products, OpenOffice (a Microsoft competitor), MySQL probably one of the most flexible databases (great on functionality but short on graphical interface), the ZFS filesystem (no Cloud applications would exist without it) and of course, Java (one of the best implementations of a true object-oriented and class driven languages). Sun was so far ahead of its time but it never had the financial muscle to fend of attackers. In its defence it created the Open GPL licensing model for all its software (this licensing has created so many Open Source applications. The theory behind it was that patenting its products in this way would allow "fair use" of it applications but when another company build on this business model, an agreement with Sun, had to be formalized and compensation had to be made. 

Microsoft at one point (late nineties) decided it would take advantage of new Open GPL and started building out its applications on the new and innovative programming language called Java and then started re-branding the product as their own. Even though SUN had little resources they fought back in court and received a judgement the demanded Microsoft first had to compensate SUN for its use of Java and second had to give-aways all the innovation it had added to the product. In the day when proprietary computer applications were king this was little more than heresy. Microsoft relented and bailed on further development.

SUN may have won the battle but they didn't win the war. Their fortunes were slipping as their hardware was not built on Intel chips and finally Oracle put them out of their misery by buying them out, mostly for their patent potential than for their product line. It ended up being an expensive purchase as the Open GPL licensing, that all SUN products were patented under, could not be broken. Oracle could not profit on the stable of SUN applications and either stopped all innovation or attempted to sell product enhancement. MySQL is just one such example...its original design is free for access but any of product enhancements are that of Oracles. This has not worked out well as the product just forked into a number of parallel developed application; MariaDB, being developed by the once designer team of MySQL from SUN and then there is Facebook's version of the product (that version of MySQL can do parallel processing across thousands of systems and now there is even an associated OS programming language available). Almost the entire team of OpenOffice defected to the forked version called LibreOffice. Oracle has hated the Open GPL licensing model ever since.

Open GPL licensing is an interesting piece of patenting license. A forked version of the code can be innovated on but, any innovations added must also be Open Sourced and the product can not be sold. Service and support towards that product maintenance can. True product enhancement (plugins, APIs binaries etc), to the application can be sold but only if these enhancements are not integrated into application's core functionality. To handle the various interpretations of this licensing there is this grey area called "fair-use". 

Move ahead to the battle between Oracle and Google. Google originally took its Java version from the now defunct company of SUN and used an enhanced version of Java along with some custom APIs. These APIs were once owned by Sun but as Oracle bought out Sun all its patents became their and the APIs fall squarely into the "fair-use" grey area. There is an agreement(?) that any APIs developed, as enhancements are the property of the application's patent holder...in this case Oracle. But the code must be OS and only limited use of this code can be made, by third parties....mostly for development.

If there was any subtly of use under the Open GPL licensing, Google has far exceeded that. Google has been effectively giving away its Java enhancements but it has also been giving away the API enhancements that Oracle has clearly built along with Google's SmartPhones. The original rush to market with this Java software was to crush any attempt of Microsoft entering the Smart Phone business and it did that but along the way Google cut a few corners and giving away Oracles API enhancements, without an agreement is definitely a violation....and one that is not covered by the extent of "fair-use" precedence.

Now we enter court battle two. In one corner, large and powerful Oracle, with a slight lead from a legal stand-point and in the other corner Google, a Goliath with unlimited resources. We have watched such battles before between Apple and Samsung which fought each other to exhaustion...I believe Apple did technically win receiving compensation for its innovation of adding curves to its buttons but the penalty was less than a slap on the wrist, to Samsung. Finally Apple and Samsung agreed to put the whole fight behind them and move on.

This battle is different. It is a no win scenario for either side and worse yet it is a no win scenario for the general public. Both Oracle and Google are all in on this fight and the battle could go on for years. In the meantime and regardless of the outcome, it put the whole Open GPL model of software development in question. The model has been fairly loose in its interpretation. All parties, businesses and the communities using this licensing have been fairly flexible on this form of patenting and there has been a self-regulated compromise that has worked well for all involved. Extended court action will now make tight regulations around the whole Open Source community. 

In summary, if Google wins then companies developing within the Open GPL, have no legal recourse, in which to garner fair compensation for their enhancements to an existing Open Source development application and if Oracle wins it will rigidly codify the term "fair-use". Both results have the potential to crush this era of enhanced application development. To a consumer or application developer, both scenarios are bad.

I blame both companies for this turn of events. Google feels they are so large and powerful that they are beyond having to compensate anyone for their invention and if the past is any indication, they may be right...and then there is Oracle who wants to be compensated for such a massive amount that no company would ever agree to it. Eventually both companies will have to compromise but the damage will have been done and the well of innovation may have been poisoned.

Jim,

Just one correction: Sun didn't create MySQL, it bought it. And then Oracle
bought Sun. Monty lasted about a month in the Oracle business
sphere/ecology before quitting to start MariaDB. Although the Oracle/MySQL
team does put out enhancements, the MariaDB team is way ahead in terms of
new features, and the MySQL team is basically playing catch-up. Since
MariaDB is a drop-in replacement for MySQL, a significant number of MySQL
users have moved on to MariaDB.

Finally, a note of trivia. Monty names his databases after his daughters.

Well it had to come at some point.

We are having an issue with Exchange - well our email team is. They are using Linux to push messages out to 365 mail. Error is

"R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host",

They use exim for this. Why I have no idea and not much of an idea re what it is.

Anyone any clues. We eventually get messages out but there is a long delay sometimes hours and its beginning to really annoy people. It's not my area just need to know enough to ensure I am not getting BS from them or MS Support re what the issue is.

Message-ID: <fb7eff0e-d63a-8fec-8b8b-32f2e00287e8@earthlink.net>

After a restart that took long enough to suggest Windows had snuck in 
another update, the ping command in cmd windows fails with "Request 
timed out".

A second disquieting symptom: ipconfig /all shows "Media disconnected" 
for Ethernet and Wifi, even though both are enabled and working.

Other LAN devices can ping this laptop. Browsers and ftp utilities work 
fine.

Turning off the antivirus (BitDefender, no recent updates) does not fix 
the ping problem.

Batch files use ping to verify accessibility before running ftp backup 
scripts.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Sitting in from of a Windows 7 box right now, but from memory...

Hit Window Key + I to get to the settings app. Then search for 'workgroup'  in the top right search box. Wonce you get to the screen there's and option to view the WG password.

Nope. That applies to WIndows 7. In WIndows 10 the dialog is different and
there's no obvious Display Password button.

Thanks, Lambert. Unfortunately, now I have a deeper puzzle. I tried to join
the homegroup (which was created on my desktop) from my laptop; pasted in
the password, and received the message "Windows can't set up a homegroup on
this computer." I ran the homegroup troubleshooter, which was no help at
all.

The peculiar (well, to me, at least) is that when I run Windows Explorer,
and click Network, I can see the other computer, but I can't access it. I
am asked for a name and password. These are the same on both computers.

Some months back I had this working. But then I had to replace the hard
disk in my laptop and since then, I can't make it work correctly.

Maybe this on-line fix-it will do the trick. It says "applies to Windows 7", but it might be good for 10 too.

Thanks for your efforts, Lambert, but still no Go. The YouTube link led me
down a path that showed the error as describe in the video, but I couldn't
resolve it. Windows could not start the Peer Name Resolution Protocol,
throwing err 0x80630203: unable to access a key.

O well.

No, CrunchBang Linux is not dead and the project has been forked to BunsenLabs. 

Check it out: http://bit.ly/1PYQD0K

This Debian distro will run fine on any computer that Windows95 or later could have run on, as it needs only a 386 with 512K RAM (The OS uses 255MB on which to run). The main different is the the OS recognizes all the current codexes, protocols, hardware, all major CPUs and runs most of the latest software. It is a perfect product for reviving old hardware or running a great desktop or super-fast server.

What version of Windows 7 do you have? 

According to what I have read as I never ran into such a problem and I have connected dozens (hundreds) or various Windows versions; the key issue that many over-look is: make sure the home group listener and home group provider are not disabled in admin tools services.

You can also try setting your home-group to a different name that the default like: i.e Arthur.

Thanks, Lambert. Unfortunately, now I have a deeper puzzle. I tried to join
the homegroup (which was created on my desktop) from my laptop; pasted in
the password, and received the message "Windows can't set up a homegroup on
this computer." I ran the homegroup troubleshooter, which was no help at
all.

The peculiar (well, to me, at least) is that when I run Windows Explorer,
and click Network, I can see the other computer, but I can't access it. I
am asked for a name and password. These are the same on both computers.

Some months back I had this working. But then I had to replace the hard
disk in my laptop and since then, I can't make it work correctly.

I don't want to take it apart just to find this out. Maybe someone here has
a similar or identical machine.

Here are the specs:

Dell 15R-1543
8 GB RAM
1 TB hard disk

If the machine has room for it, I'd like to install a 250 GB SSD alongside
the hard disk.

Hi Arthur

Extremely few laptops can hold more than one drive, so if it could, you would probably know about it. A bing/google on your model indicates nothing special.

But normally you are not this lazy - it will take you about 30 seconds to dismantle the bottom cover to reveal the drive(s) - often the cover is marked with a tiny cylinder as the icon for a fixed drive.

If it's got an internal cd/DVD drive then you might be able to get a cradle that will hold the SSD for you that fits the slot.

Thanks, Peter. I'll have a look-see. If there is no extra space, I may opt
to replace the DVD with the SSD. I can always move the DVD burner to my

I replaced the drive with a ssd.  Makes an enormous difference in boot and
load times. Plus uses less power.

Well, initially you don't go from $4.1K to $50-60.  Only 150 reviews.
Sounds like a company I could throw together and hand out certificates
which basically mean nothing.  42 hours is not going to make you a
marketable person...I suspect it will disappear soon into the horizon...

How about replace the 1TB drive with an SSD and put the 1RB is a USB enclosure? Dirt cheap solution. :-)

I've let myself install way too much software, and would like to start over
from a fresh installation. I seem to recall that there;s a way to do that,
but I've forgotten how. All my crucial documents are safely backed up, with
everything on a large external drive. How can I return to a "virgin"

Subject: [dba-Tech] The new fastest supercomputer
Message-ID: <CAEPJO1gOWC+0Bcron1R+NVt24guUA0Y-Jf5N2YrJm1KtxnwdEw@mail.gmail.com>

>From the MIT Technology Review...

*Chinese Supercomputer Domination*
A homegrown Chinese supercomputer called Sunway TaihuLight has been declared
the world's fastest
<http://technologyreview.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=47c1a9cec9749a8f8cbc83e78&id=84e6119fb9&e=6fb75e5108>.
Capable of performing 93 quadrillion calculations per second, it?s three
times faster than the previous number one. TaihuLight is, as you?d imagine,
stuffed with exotic hardware: 41,000 chips, each with 260 processor cores,
give it a grand total of 10.65 million cores. There?s also 1.3 petabytes of
RAM?slightly less than the now second-place Tianhe-2, which means the new
computing champ is (relatively) efficient, drawing 15.3 megawatts of power.
Interestingly, TaihuLight isn?t based on any existing architecture: it?s built
using Chinese processors
<http://technologyreview.us11.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=47c1a9cec9749a8f8cbc83e78&id=a9b99f9c30&e=6fb75e5108>
 . This is also a big moment for U.S.-China competition: it's the first
time that more of the world?s top 500 supercomputers are Chinese than
American.

 Great news! And it's MIMD. And it's very energy saving efficient, And it uses messaging architecture to exchange data between its independent cores... read: it's a natural hardware platform for functional programming getting mainstream nowadays...

Subject: [dba-Tech] ISP hosts that support MariaDB
Message-ID: <CAEPJO1hFEyqQXJjwE3UTR0gpgwSN2FMp53ac8aT2Q1chcPkAJA@mail.gmail.com>

Perhaps I'm among the few with a particular problem. As a former devotee of
MySQL, when Monty and the crew left following the Oracle acquisition of
Sun, and inherited Sun's purchase of MySQL, and Monty and crew left to form
MariaDB, I developed a serious interest in MariaDB.

MariaDB does everything MySQL does, and then some. It's IMO a much better
database. But so far, not too many ISP hosts support it. I'd like to
compile a list of those that do.

We have a site that runs on a MySQL host. I'd like to find another site
that offers MariaDB in lieu of MySQL hosting.

Anybody know of one or some?

One might ask, Why? The question and the problem feels strangely
reminiscent of the good old days, back when the issue was choosing between
Fox Software or (God forbid!) dBASE III and IV, as opposed to biting the
bullet and embracing Clipper. I chose, back then, to embrace Clipper. That
choice cost me a gig here and there, mostly with slow-moving government
ministries and large corporations whose moves resembled those of the sloth;
but in the end I was proved correct. And I think the same holds true now:
MariaDB is a better product, with a development team that has proved its
integrity over the years, and features and performance that leave Oracle
MySQL playing catch-up.

And all this is wonderful, for me, developing at home. But then comes the
gap: many hosts that support MySQL do not support MariaDB, so I have to be
careful when suggesting a migration to my clients, or developing a new
product for a potential new client-base.

I might be able to leap this hurdle with a list of providers prepared to
host MariaDB. If you know of any, please advise, with contact details, and
I'll take it from there.

Message-ID: <000601d1cfc5$f7001620$e5004260$@bchacc.com>

Dear List(s):

 

After months of nagging I finally decided to upgrade to W10.  I've done the
download.  Windows Update says Your upgrade to Windows 10 is ready. You will
need to restart your PC.etc.

 

I do a restart, log in but the update doesn't start.  I think it may be
because at the end of the restart I get a message that "Windows Explorer has
stopped working". If searches for a fix, Windows Explorer restarts.  But no
upgrade takes place.  I'm guessing that when Windows Explorer stops working
that hoses the upgrade process.  But that's just a guess.

 

Any ideas?

It is possible to download an ISO of the upgrade DVD. Perhaps if you do so and burn a DVD then try running setup.exe from the DVD it will work.

I spent two hours on the phone with Microsoft most of it with the tech
running my box.  The problem is that the updates to W7 are not happening and
it won't continue with the W10 upgrade until all the W7 updates are done.
So....Wednesday morning a level 2 tech is calling and hopefully he can
figure it out and get me up to W10.

Glad you got an answer.  Sad that the process wouldn't just tell you
what you needed to know.  I had a LOT of trouble getting Windows
updates to run on my newest box.  But it was one I built myself and it
originally had a WIn 8 Pro OS later upgraded to 8.1 and later to 10.
Then I installed a 10 Pro from scratch from a purchased copy of the OS
after it stopped booting at one point.. I5 Chip. SSD primary hard
drive with a secondary rotating drive for Music storage. It's the very
box I'm typing this mail on.  It ran into Windows update issues when
it was on 8 and later again on 8.1.  As far as I know it's been
working OK with that on 10. It's had spontaneous reboot issues it's
whole life.  It's the PC hooked up to my big screen TV with a second
10" LCD Monitor I mostly use.  It boots so fast that having it reboot
once in a while hasn't really been that big of a deal.  When it first

Glad you got an answer.  Sad that the process wouldn't just tell you what
you needed to know.  I had a LOT of trouble getting Windows updates to run
on my newest box.  But it was one I built myself and it originally had a WIn
8 Pro OS later upgraded to 8.1 and later to 10.
Then I installed a 10 Pro from scratch from a purchased copy of the OS after
it stopped booting at one point.. I5 Chip. SSD primary hard drive with a
secondary rotating drive for Music storage. It's the very box I'm typing
this mail on.  It ran into Windows update issues when it was on 8 and later
again on 8.1.  As far as I know it's been working OK with that on 10. It's
had spontaneous reboot issues it's whole life.  It's the PC hooked up to my
big screen TV with a second 10" LCD Monitor I mostly use.  It boots so fast
that having it reboot once in a while hasn't really been that big of a deal.
When it first started happening I did look into it and it seemed as though

Subject: [dba-Tech] Question about web-site (tools?) with "continued.." links
Message-ID: <CAEPJO1hHpvv2bydXOo8eGFqy+5NcnPUNE7vNb5hutjiTLX01tA@mail.gmail.com>

I do do much web-site stuff except so far mostly the back-end, so forgive
me my ignorance of front-end techniques. Suppose I have a front page with
headlines + first-paragraph of say four articles -- each of which has a
"continued" or "more" link at the bottom of the lead-in text.

How is this done? Does one do it manually, seeing how much text fits on
Page One, then finding or creating a new page-segment for the remainder?
Are there tools and/or templates that create a bunch of frames on several
pages and let you stream the text from, say, Page One, Frame One to Page
Three, Frame Two, to Page Five, Frame 1?

I'm kind of baffled how this works, because at layout/revision time who
knows how much text would be appropriate? Or, in the case of Ars Technica,
they populate Page One with the headline and a one-sentence summary that
doubles as the link to the next page. In the case of nybooks.com, they use
a photo and a title and the first paragraph, and then a <more> link.Rolling
Stone seems to use a combination of both -- on the left are direct links
and in the middle a photo, a paragraph and the whole thing functions as a
link.

I find it hard to believe that these sites employ people to cut and paste
this all manually. There must be tools that let you flow a large chunk of
text into one frame, automatically insert a "more" link, and invite you to
select another frame on another page to continue the flow, and repeat until
done. That doesn't seem like rocket science to me, so I'm guessing there
are tools to accomplish this.

Scaling this notion up, how do newspapers like NY Times and Washington Post
accomplish these tasks? I can't believe a hundred minions in India and
China do it; the turnaround time plus the time-zone difference would make
that approach impossible. So how do they do it? And how many people does it
take to lay out The Sunday Times?

A lot of what you are asking about is determined by what was used to create the website.  I cannot speak for the bigger websites, but I now manage the website for our local LGBT Center and all of their stories, articles, other pages are created as a full document page and linked from the back end tools to the proper place on the front page showing a title and, usually, a one or two line ?Catch Phrase?.  This was all done through a product called WordPress.

Thank You,

As Jeff said, it depends on what tools are used to create the front
end. But there are 3 different ways that I've come across.

1. A fixed number of characters.
2. A manually placed break in the body of the text.
3. A special handcrafted "intro text"

It all depends on the tools and how you want to handle it.

Ars Technica and nybooks.com both use Wordpress and Rolling Stone uses Varnish.

Depends on the frontend tool you're using. WordPress has a "more" tag 
(https://en.support.wordpress.com/more-tag/). jQuery has hide() and 
show() funcs that accomplish much the same thing. Or it can be done 
manually by showing the first N lines or paras and providing a "more" 
button to show the remainder when clicked.

first, since two of my three favourite sites use it
