7/27    I have an actual technical question here. My MySQL DBA tells me
        that I can't expect a MySQL port to be able to run effectively
        on more than a two CPU box, he says that the extra CPUs will
        sit there unused. Is this true? I have a bunch of new quad core
        servers that I would like to use as Database machines. -ausman
   \_ It's not that simple.  If you stress test your new fancy multi core

2/7     What the hell?  Is there configuration option to make mysql behave
        reasonably?  By "reasonably" I mean, when a user tries to put in
        the wrong data type i'd like it to fail and throw an error, not just
        say "hmmm, I'll just put a '0' there instead". -crebbs

10/29   In mysql MyISAM table, if I do a very long read query (SELECT)
        and then do an INSERT, will that INSERT hang? I understand that
        MyISAM is non-transactional so I'm guessing the two calls are
        independent of each other?
        \_ From my understanding no.  Not unless you explicitly lock the table.
           What you get, however, is undefined.  (I'm assuming these are on

11/30   I remember people complaining about http://dreamhost.com on the motd in
        recent months.  What were the complaints?
        \_ You can't run ANY script for over 20-30 seconds or else ALL of
           your processes will get killed, rendering cron and cgi
           useless. Mysql quota may be unlimited but is overloaded so
           takes SECONDS for each simple query. It has been hacked into

10/27   Dear MySQL experts, I have a serious problem. I backed up my
        database using mysqldump. When I try to recover using
        "mysql < recover_file.sql" I keep getting "ERROR 2013 (HY000)
        at line 116: Lost connection to MySQL server during query"
        \_ So the dump file is just standard sql data.  Why not take a look at
           the line where it's running into problems and see if that yields

5/21    Judgement Day
        \_ When Rapture comes, can I have your stereo?
	...

7/26    If I have a quality stereo system that's iPod compatible,
        is there going to be a difference in sound quality between playing
        music from the iPod using some lossless format versus the CD?
        \_ The CD player will most likely have different sound quality.
           Whether that's better, worse, or detectable by you depends on
           it and you. (DACs).

7/26    how hard is it to adopt my car stereo to use my ipod/mp3 player?
	...

10/6    What's a good FM modulator for mp3 players to use in the car? I
        am looking for one that takes line-out. Sound quality is more
        important to me than size/money.
        \_ The cheapest wire system still has better fidelity than the
           most expensive wireless system.
