I think its dead funny you all ripping into riise

Liverpools Defence last season kept 34 clean sheets, since Riise has been in the back four, under both Houllier and Benitez he has been part of some formidable defensive performance

Oh, and he can run the length of the pitch and whack it in from 25 yards, score from free kicks and also score various other screamers . He is the best attacking left back in the league, how many has ashley cole scored ? What about Hienze and Evra ?

And yet they are all 'better' left backs than him

Drive me to despair some of you f'ckers, honestly you do. He is the best left back playing in the premiership, better all rounder than any of the others

It has been rearranged for the 9th Jan that means we will have to play all the kids

We use Skype for weekly project meetings...

I think I will install this little beauty and see who is telling porkies

Thanks cunny, interesting that, I will do a bit of reading and have a think

It's architecture is 'shared nothing', it is split into n number of virtual processors called amps, which have there own dedicated disk arrays.

Therefore, a table such as say customer with a primary key can be distinbuted evenly over the amps and their disks. Therefore when you run a query it can be performed in parallel over all the amps/disks - this is known as Massively Parallel Processing (MPP).

All the amps/disks are linked by a communication layer called the BYNET which merges/aggregates data coming back from the individual amps.

This architecture based on distributing data evenly over vprocs differs from Oracle's indexing approach.

E.G.

 

If you have 1 washing machine and 8 loads of washing - you would need to do 8 loads of washing one at a time, a bottle neck - this is Oracle

 

The teradata architecture basically gives you the 8 washing machine to do it all at once.

So is it a lot quicker than Oracle when querying etc ?

When designing your database would you consider using this technology for ?

For example

High data storage ?

High Speed querying, inserting, deleting etc ?

Management tools and supporting software ?

What requirements would make you move from Oracle to terradata ?

We are working on a project where scalability is very important, we could potentially be handling millions of transactions a day, would terradata be preferable to oracle in such a system ?

Congratulations !!! Dont let him become a blue, imagine the pain the poor lad will have during his lifetime

My missus is 37 weeks pregnant, due in three weeks, I cant wait

MoD has one in Yeovil.

Not sure about other government departments.

Cunny - what does it give you then, over say oracle. What are the main benefits of it ?

Its gonna get called off isnt it

The new licencing costs for SQL server 2005 are interesting

You are now charged per processor and there is no discount for multiple processers on one machine

We have just had a quote for a little under 1 MILLION pounds for 7 machines, each with four processors running SQL server 2005 databases on them in licensing alone

MD nearly f'ckin collapsed

 

What, it hasn't already got interfaces (like ODBC)? I bet it has!

 

ODBC is very old and outdated now

What I meant was Oracle and SQL server develop specific software to work with database software interface packages like ADO.NET in .NET, not sure what the equivelant is in JAVA

This makes it very easy to develop applications that use Oracle or Java with a whole host of features that you would use already developed and included in ADO.NET and the Java equivelant

If they used a new database technology there would be huge development costs in basically creating an ADO.NET package for this new database, both from the database manufacturer and from the people who where using the databases

bespoke!!!

 

it's fecking world class technology and the leader in it's field - all the blue chip banks, retailers, direct mailers and telcos have it due to the way it can handle Terabytes and Terabytes of data.

When I say bespoke, what I mean is you would have to develop interfaces into it etc if you wrote applications etc in .NET or Java

I dont know much about it cunny, but will have a look at it as the project we are currently working on will involve a huge amount of data being stored.

I am sure most of the banks, visa etc dont use it, for example barclays who we are currently working with are insisting on all microsoft technologies and nothing else.

it ends to grind to a halt once there is more than a Terabyte of data in it. Very expensive to maintain - although the oracle dba's out there wont complain.

They probably have lots of regional databases all linked together, dont think there will be one database with 58 million records in it, although there may be and to be honest if it is just NI number and name, a normal database could probably handle that

NCR Teradata (MPP data warehouse)

They probably have hundreds, if not thousands of web and windows applications dotted across the country that civil servants use all developed in java or .net

They will be using oracle or sql server, they will not have used a bespoke database like this due to the applications that have to sit on it

I wonder which database product they will be using?

probably oracle (as they grease the palms of gevernment and the consultancies continually) despite the fact that with the sheer volume of data this will generate it will not be up to the job.

Why would it not be up to the job ?

The only other database you could realistically use is SQL server 2005, which is relatively new so I assume that the three existing databases used Orcacle, as SQL server 2000 was sh'te for a multitude of reasons and could never be considered for high traffic databases like this

shame

Happy christmas to you to yeh miserable f'cker

You would miss me if I was gone

I actually got threatened once online, I used to post on redissue years ago, I like playing with the animals now and again out of morbid fascination

Some manc on redissue emailed me saying he knew where I lived and threatened to 'do me'

So I emailed him back and asked him if he wanted me to dress up for it and how much he charged

I then stood watch at our front door with my water gun and my missus's little brothers plastic lightsaber (with real lights !) but my assasination must have been abandoned as I am still alive today

Outside the sandon at the next home game yeh f'ccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkeeeeeeeers

here

and

here

Its f'ckin great on there now days - Fully blown web straighteners and everything

Someone start a fight in here ffs and liven it up a bit

17

Hope you get some good news over christmas

I am sure its harder for all his family at this time of year, me and my ma will say a little prayer at midnight mass again this year for his safe return

Good luck and god bless

truly f***ing odious

Totally agree

How can a 'mainstream' paper can allow this to be printed, even the daily mail

Things never change, we all think we live in a more equal society but these odious b'stards still pass judgement on people from their offices in London. This is an absolute disgrace

I cant remember the last time I was so angry reading an article

From littlejohn in todays mail, he gets worse and worse and the paper that gives him a public platform to vent his bigoted, evil little paragraphs of hate is also a f'ckin disgrace

"Let's get the caveat out of the way from the off. The five women murdered in Ipswich were tragic, lost souls who met a grisly end. I sincerely hope whoever killed them is caught, charged and convicted.

No one with a shred of humanity would wish upon them their ghastly lives and horrible deaths. But Mother Teresa, they weren't.

And I know this might sound frightfully callous in the current hysterical, emotional climate, but we're not all guilty.

We do not share in the responsibility for either their grubby little existences or their murders. Society isn't to blame.

It might not be fashionable, or even acceptable in some quarters, to say so, but in their chosen field of "work'=", death by strangulation is an occupational hazard.

That doesn't make it justifiable homicide, but in the scheme of things the deaths of these five women is no great loss.

They weren't going to discover a cure for cancer or embark on missionary work in Darfur. The only kind of missionary position they undertook was in the back seat of a car.

Of course their friends and families are grieving. That's what friends and families do. But they should also be asking themselves if there was anything they could have done to prevent what happened.

If you discovered your daughter had gone on the game to feed her heroin habit, wouldn't you move heaven and earth to get her off it?

Frankly, I'm tired of the lame excuses about how they all fell victim to ruthless pimps who plied them with drugs. These women were on the streets because they wanted to be.

We are all capable of free will. At any time, one or all of them could have sought help from the police, or the church, or a charity, or a government agency specifically established to deal with heroin addicts. They chose not to.

The tortuous twistings of the sisterhood over the past week have been a joy to behold. The 30-yearold Spare Rib T-shirts have been brought out of mothballs and we've been treated to the All Men Are b*stards/Rapists/Murderers mantra from assorted Glendas who ought to be old enough to know better.

We've heard the well-rehearsed arguments for legalised and regulated prostitution, as if we were living under the Taliban. The fact is, we've already got de facto legal brothels on every High Street.

They're call saunas or massage parlours.

As I remarked when the Labour MP Joe Ashton was once caught in a Siamese "sauna" in Northampton, he must have been the only man in Britain ever to go to a massage parlour for a massage. It doesn't get much more glamorous than that.

These five women were on the streets because even the filthiest, most disreputable back-alley "sauna" above a kebab shop wouldn't give them house room.

The men who used them were either too mean to fork out whatever a massage parlour charges, or simply weren't fussy. Some men are actually turned on by disgusting, drug-addled street whores. Where there's demand, there'll always be supply.

This wasn't a case of women going on the game to put bread on the table, or to look after their "babies". That's what the welfare state is for. They did it for drugs.

The gormless Guardianistas simply refuse to confront this blindingly obvious reality. They would rather deify celebrity druggies such as Kate Moss and Will Self than face the truth that hard drugs wreck lives.

What I find most objectionable about all this is the attempt to make us all feel responsible for the murders. There is a nasty whiff of Lady Di about the enforced mood of mourning, with even the Old Bill coming across like hand-wringing archbishops.

At Ipswich Town's home game on Saturday, there was a minute's silence. We were supposed to believe that this was a true reflection of the community's sympathy.

I don't buy it. Most people went along with it in the spirit of emotional correctness and through fear of getting their heads kicked in if they didn't.

There was only one thing missing, but don't bet against it.

When Blair gets back from saving the Middle East, don't be surprised if he turns up at the funeral of one of these unfortunate women to deliver a lip-trembling, tear-stained eulogy: "She was the People's Prostitute". "

The man is f'ckin vile

Classless. Graceless. Utterly pathetic.

 

So you're the sort of idiot who, on leaving the Ataturk and seeing some forlorn Milan fans, would have gone right up to them, leered in their faces and gone HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Just about figures.

 

Most Liverpool fans, however, would hope to have a bit more class.

 

Yes, losing hurts, but that's not why I'm replying in this vein. It's simply because I can't stand twunts like you. I feel sorry for the decent Aussies around, forced to put up with this kind of crap day in day out.

And what exactly do you expect from a country of social mongrels ?

Don't expect a lot to happen. UEFA are bringing in new laws that mean the majority of the team have to be home based or something along those lines. I reckon we'll see Rafa sign more English players than foreign ones.

They cant do it, EU would not have it. It would be impossible for football to implement such a rule

The G14 clubs would block it as well

Who the f'cks that ?

He did score, decent goal threat, but I also remember how he actually played, and he was a menace going forward and could make the play. The main thing that changed in Vieira's game was that he became more controlled in the challenge and stopped picking up so many yellow and red cards, he also picked his times to rampage and when to sit more effeciently, benefit of experience. I seriously dont recall him becoming a 'better' final third player with age, if anything he sat back more.

 

Anyway all this is swings and roundabouts, Momo is not a clone of Vieira, he is his own player with SOME similar strengths and right now any comparisons do flatter him, Vieira was the better all round player. Speculating that he could become as good an all round player is speculation imo, it's asking a huge amount of development in some very key areas.

 

I think Momo is a very good player who can seriuosly physically dominate a midfield and will learn to use the ball more effectively, but I dont think we'll ever see regular through balls or a goal every ten games from him.

Viera was not a menace going forward, he hardly played any killer through balls if any and only scored a couple of goals all season. Patrik Viera was the black one yeh know, the white bloke with the pony tail was petit

He was a destroyer, he won the ball, harried and pressed the opposition and played it short

Exactly the same type of player momo is, however momo is better for his age than viera was

Momo is one of the best young players in the world in his position. Rafa wants a sitting midfielder who can spread the ball around, an energetic one who presses and wins the ball and two versatile world class wide midfielders who can float, roatate and swap. Gerrard will play wide right for Liverpool for most games when everyone is fit because alonso and sissoko fit his system perfectly.

Alosno and gerrard are doing ok now against sh'te teams, look what happened at Arsenal few weeks ago. Gerrard can do more must damage floating from wide right as he can in midfield because he will not need as much discipline.

Sissoko is a brilliant player, just like viera was. You cant stress enough how important this type of player is, not so much for how you play but in how the opposition play.
