Monday - Eric Schmidt vs Steve Jobs or Google vs Apple

First I read about Apple pulling Google Voice from IPhone, couple of hours later I found that FCC is already on top of this case (FCC sent letters to Apple requesting details and explanations) and now I found that Google's Eric Schmidt resigns from Apple.

I am not sure if this these are all simply co-incedents, but knowing how much money Google spent on lobbying I am not surprised that FCC is reacting right away.

I tried Google Voice before on Verizon blackberry, and liked the way you can use free SMS messaging, call screening, voicemail to email and good international rates. I completely understand why ATT would not want that on their network, but I guess they will have to open up and COMPETE.

Federal Government vs Private Companies

Primary reason people are working (or, if retired, used to work) for the Federal Government:

27% are working because of job security
19% work for the benefits package (other than pay)
18% say they have too much invested in the retirement system to leave
15% work to "make a difference" in America
8% work because the money is good
5% like the challenging work environment
8% work for the federal government for "other" reasons

People often mention government's more generous policies with regard to holidays and taking annual leave, the ability to transfer to different regions while staying with the same employer, and the ability to obtain health insurance with better benefits that they could then take into retirement with them.

Columbia vs NYU

NYU is (behind Stanford) one of the top "dream schools," and is getting more selective year after year. Again, if you want to study the arts or business as an undergraduate, NYU may be a better choice than Columbia. However, Columbia is no slouch, and their graduates are more likely than NYU's to make it into graduate business schools (including the Columbia Business School, which consistently ranks higher than NYU Stern) regardless of their major. The difference is that Columbia students use their undergraduate years to explore other, less specialized fields of study that range from philosophy to engineering.

Why Mysql

Description:
Linux: RedHat9; mysql 4.0; mysqlhotcopy 1.18; latest DBI and DBD; mysql installed from
binaries (not RPM); PERL,DBI and DBD compiled from cpan.

get_list_of_tables is returning quoted table names and looks like it is right according to
CPAN

>If $dbh->get_info(29) returns true (29 is >SQL_IDENTIFIER_QUOTE_CHAR) then the table
names are >constructed and quoted by /quote_identifier to ensure they >are usable even if
they contain whitespace or reserved >words etc.

after call to quote_names, table name looks like "`dbname`.``tblname``" and mysqlhotcopy
terminates with
DBD::mysql::db do failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax.

I had to change last line in quote_names from

return "`$db`.'$table'";
#to
return "`$db`.$table";

after this mysqlhotcopy was able to run

How to repeat:
Dual P3 933; RedHat 9 with minimal config; MYSQL 4.0 from mysql.com (binary install)
[mysqlhotcopy 1.18]

Compiled PERL from CPAN (LANG=C [not UTF])
Compiled DBI and DBD from CPAN

Suggested fix:
The described fix is good for my particular case, however on Solaris, you will need to
have
return "`$db`.'$table'";
for proper tablename quotation, I guess I will leave fix up to you.
