Abusing MySQL (& thoughts on NoSQL)

,----[ Quote ]
| The NoSQL/relational database debate has been 
| going on for quite some time. MariaDB, like 
| MySQL is relational. And if you read these 
| series of blog posts, youâll realise that if 
| you use MySQL correctly, you can achieve quite 
| a lot.

Can open source make 311 relevant?

,----[ Quote ]
| But rather than run for anything at a time
| when being in public service is assumed to
| disqualify you for it, he might be better
| served seizing the opportunities Open311
| affords. A foundation to run the .org, a
| company to run the .com, and the same
| charismatic gentleman on top of both.
| Governmentâs answer to Dries Buytaert, with
| better clothes.
|
| Sounds like a better political plan to me. He
| can gain standing without taking
| responsibility for running anything, since
| actual implementation remains in the hands of
| local governments. He can take credit for
| success without risking much blame for
| failure. And he can make money doing it.
