I've often wondered why people don't use databases and SQL for more often data analysis. SQL is relatively easy to learn, and there is so much you can do, especially if you use analytical functions. I almost always load the data

Check out Oracle Application Express (APEX) - very quick for standing up applications, and provided free (as part of the DB) by a company that won't go away any time soon.

Better, but still not going to be overly helpful. Call came from 1000ft, first responder is standing at 750ft - there are 250ft of floors in between.

They need to be accurate within 3 meters vertically, and telling a first responder that a call came in from an area say 1000ft above sea level would not be that helpful to him/her when standing in front of a 45 storey building, wonderi

I should have been more clear on what someone may try to compare. Nelson Mandela was considered a terrorist by authorities in power at the time, and was accused of treason, as is Snowden I believe. History judges Mandela otherwise, and dee

I've been offline for a bit. Has anyone made the point that Edward Snowden is today's Nelson Mandela? I'm recalling a conversation I had with someone born and raised in South Africa, who said Mandela was in jail for a reason

Not on topic as far as the article is concerned, but in regards to G.K. Chesterton, my favorite quote of his is: "Never take down a fence until you understand why it was put up." I used to use that one a lot with developers tryi

Any chance you looked at Mind Meister (www.mindmeister.com)? If so, was wondering if you found any big differences in functionality/features over mindmup.

Well, if you don't feel that at least some people and organizations find twitter useful, I'm not sure what I can say to that.

You may be right - there are not many obvious practical uses...yet. I'm leery of calling "hype" on new technology simply because practical uses are not immediately evident. I remember reading that most people in the late 1800's couldn't ima
