Oracale is most definitely not optimized from the technical perspective for handling hundreds of thousands of simultaneous connections--and no db really is. Some dev's are actually reverting back to flat file implementations for highly accessed data because the db tech just isn't currently evolved to handle this type of scenario.
It's what I strongly recommend for anything that requires speed as opposed to flexibility. DB tech has made great strides in the past 5 years and most of the newer MMGs use relational DBs for their data storage. Some have done well with that. Some haven't. |

As a picky aside, in response to the various communist jokes throughout the thread, the USA is probably more communist than China at this point. They got one whiff of capitalism and dropped that communist shit hard.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I'm gonna see how may suckers than can get to preorder.
Vaporware is where the real money is at. Actually releasing products is for suckers. On an unrelated note, a $15 payment will guarantee you a beta slot in f.13's upcoming MMO. I also hear that Schild is looking for investors for a new console he's designed. Among other new features, this console will electro-shock you via wires attached to your testicles anytime you play a movie not personally approved by Schild himself. |

You have to understand something, I HATE artsy fartsy. It's intolerable. Trying to be in the upper echelon of art almost always results in absolute shit. Like Pollock. A shitty movie about a ridiculously shitty artist. But everyone's all high-falutin about it because it was a desperate portrayal of a tormented "genius." That's artsy fartsy shit and if I had my way, everyone involved would be in a turkish prison. |

The Thin Red Line is the one I hated the most, as far as artsy-fartsy movies go.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas? If that movie is either depressing or artsy fartsy, you need your humor gene checked. Stat. THIS is artsy-fartsy. It also sucked ass. I was so disappointed. |

You wouldn't think that if you watched the movie. Something happened to Hal Hartley in the last 6-7 years that turned him from promising indy director into shitty artsy-fartsy director.

Can "The Brown Bunny" be considered artsy fartsy or just plain bad?

Any movie that can induce a semi-famous actress to blow a guy onscreen is art in my opinion.

Anything by David Lynch may not be artsy-fartsy, but it all annoys the shit out of me.

Dune is the exception. Everything else annoyed me. Especially Lost Highway. |

What? Did Mulholland Drive and Lost Highway just not have enough tits for you guys? is that the problem?
Dune was terrible. And possibly his most Artsy Fartsy movie. Even moreso than Eraserhead, if that's possible.

Mulholland Drive had plenty of tits, which was the only reason I was able to make it through that shitty-ass movie. Lost Highway? UGH FUCKING UGH. It didn't have enough of ANYTHING to make it worthwhile. Ok, it had a great soundtrack. Other than that, total shit. Dune? Too ambitious. Lynch was the wrong guy for that movie. But Wild at Heart and Fire Walk with Me? Near perfect. |

Yes, everything associated with Twin Peaks was beyond Brilliant. I need more TV like that. I need more movies like that.

I like Dune, and I'm a pretty big fan of the books myself so I guess I like shitty sci-fi too. I also like The Last Starfighter, for whatever the hell that's worth.
David Lynch really should stick to television series, because his movies are generally overly ambitious, cerebral thought pieces handled by a completely incapable film director. That's my opinion, anyways.
