Seriously I get real tired of the America basing some people feel the need to do whenever anything about another country comes up...
2) Not everyone on the Internet lives in America. Maybe they are interested in news about other countries, ever think of that? Stop trying to steer everything back to your country. There are plenty of discussions on
You do realize the GP didn't mention America at all in his comment, don't you? It was only you who mentioned America. In essence, you're doing exactly what you said shouldn't be done.
I'm Canadian, and I had a similar sentiment as the GP. I think _you_ should stop steering the discussion towards America.
after trying FDC, Slicehost, Swvps, & Linode, i finally found a hosting solution that had everything I needed for a good price.

This hosting company is a good joke, I have mod points but couldn't mod you 'funny' since I wanted to post this, too bad.
P.S. All kidding aside, anyone willing to pay this "company" for services of any type would be brain dead.
comparison operations ( select * where salary > 60000) the encryption used maintains order. The encrypted value of 59,999 is less than the encrypted value of 60,000,
I've never understood this bit. If, without the encryption key, I can compare two pieces of data to see which plaintext is less than then other, that seems like a huge hole. For normalized data in the DB, if some of the plaintext is known or guessable, I can probably guess all the values (since normalized values are generally represented by small integers). Heck, if I have "less than", can't I find the plaintext result of subtracting one plaintext value from another, without the key? That's effectively the same as decrypting English text.
Incorrect. The GP was speaking about an integer comparison, not a string comparison. Integer sorting is useful for sorting data records, sorting data by the calculated result of text data wouldn't be so useful.
