10/16   Enter this address into Yahoo maps and zoom in all the way:
        1500 Clay St., Davenport, IA
        \_ this is terrifically funny. map{blast,quest} confirm it (or ALL buy
           the same db which is doubtful) --aaron
           \_ I don't think I would put my name behind "terrifically funny."
              BTW, In http://maps.expedia.com, the streets in question look like
              they're there but are unlabeled and you can't search them.
        \_ For convenience: link:csua.org/u/408
        \_ What does "Fagdaddy" mean?  I only know it's some dirty word.
        \_ Must be some joke by some engineer.  There's neither Buttlickin Ave.
           nor Fagdaddy St. in the USPS database, only Clay St.
        \_ It's common for mapmakers to put in a couple easter eggs, partly
           for fun, partly to counteract copyright violations.  -tom
           \_ My cousin worked for Etak. He said there were lots of these
              deliberate errors to track who was using their maps. This would
              indicate that all these folks do, in fact, use the same original
              map database. -- ulysses
           \_ So what are some of these other common map easter eggs?
        \_ Is that where your daddy lives?
           \_ Wow, you are so funny. Hahahaha. You really crack me up.
        \_ Hey, the street name disappeared. It was there a minute ago.
           \_ Whoah. You're right! Maybe word got 'round.
              \_ op:  where did you find that link?
                 \_ friend. -op
           \_ Buttlickin' Ave is on mapquest and mapblast, but no Fagdaddy
           \_ Screenshot kept at http://csua.org/u/40e -geordan
           \_ It's still sorta on MapQuest
              http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?country=US&address=1500+Clay+St.&city=Davenport&state=IA
           \_ Both are on maporama at http://www.maporama.com/share/Map.asp?SESSIONID={3ABB491A-B7CE-4F65-A838-AFF796791E7C}&ZoomSet=1

3/25    Ok please tell me the pros/cons of mysql vs. postgreSQL. For me
        speed is really really important. On the other hand, packaging
        (ease of install, consistent commands, etc) is also very important
        for development. I've just tried mysql for the first time and I'm
        NOT very impressed. The documentation that came with it was outdated
        (some of the tutorials didn't work) and it didn't even pass all of

1/7     SQL/DB Question: Is there any way to do a query and only return a
        certain set of results? Like the results between 20-30. Kinda like
        what Google does when you choose what subset of results you want
        to see. It seems like they don't do one query and cache it,
        they do it dynamically based on the parameters. And I can't use
        something like Scrollable ResultSets because my program has to

2/12    Is there a way to find all the internet host names (at least those
        known to my DNS server) that contain a certain string?  E.g. I want to
        find all of <DEAD>www.fooinc.com<DEAD> <DEAD>www.foo-systems.com<DEAD> <DEAD>www.foo-college.edu<DEAD>
        http://www.foo.net etc.  Thanks.
        \_ No, think about it, you would have to query every authoritative
           DNS server in the internet.
