APK, when I see comments like this from people regarding suicides, it tells me immediately that the person making these comments has never felt suicidal. Never been so utterly and completely depressed that death seems the better option at the time. You simply cannot understand this if you have never experienced the feeling.
The tragedy is that many who do don't make it through the experience. I am glad that I didn't go through with it at that point in my life when it seemed the best option... Although, to be honest, it was really only further self-doubt that delayed taking the final plunge long enough for things to start to turn around.
It is a tragedy that Aaron Shwartz didn't make it through for things to start getting better, but there is certainly blame to be shared in his case... We ALL, as a society as a whole, failed Aaron imo.
Parent, +1. You can spot someone that has no experience or knowledge of clinical depression a mile away.
Impossible.
The entire premise behind NoSQL is trading consistency for availability (which actually means "latency" since everything is eventually available). You will never ever get ACID from NoSQL databases.
There are already NoSQL databases supporting ACID: http://ravendb.net/
