I don't understand all the hate for SQL.

Generally speaking the only issues I've ever had with databases are platform-specific and have nothing to do with the query language ie. Oracle's insanely complex configuration and endless lists of parameters. Performance tuning, indexing, replication, etc.

SQL in itself is easy to learn. What saddens me more is seeing people badly use atrocities like Hibernate instead of figuring out (or hiring someone who will) how a database works.

That being said I totally see how databases such as CouchDB will become more and more popular. Regardless of how proficient one is in SQL the possibilities are pretty much endless when you get to write the map/reduce functions yourself using an expressive language (like Javascript in couchdb)

Leopard has this capability built in.

Surely blocking porn is enough? Blocking anything else is a cat and mouse game. You can be sure that they will figure out how to defeat the filtering anyways.

Funny this gets posted today because just yesterday I was playing Bejeweled (iPhone version) and thinking about the fact that if it were purely random, you'd be hitting 'No Moves Left' all the time and it would be crazy frustrating.

It seems to me that the game works this way: When you destroy some jewels, the game will give you either helpful, harmful or random jewels.

As you go up levels the balance changes - between level 1 and 3 you get mostly helpful jewels and sometimes random ones. At level 4 it starts throwing in harmful combinations. By the time you're at level 10 or so you mostly get random or harmful combination with the occasional helpful.

The helpful combinations make you feel lucky, or at least I think that's the idea.
