You'll need to process that file into something that your DB can consume. If all you need are minor syntax tweaks, you can stream straight through. More likely, you'll need to rebuild the dump to be more than quads ordered by arbitrarily as

This is the slow, inefficient way of doing OOP in JS. Pros: 1. You don't have to understand JavaScript to use it 2. You get to have "private" members 3. You don't have to use "this". See point #1. Cons: 1. Object churn: Every "new" operatio

Is it a coincidence that the last version of Firefox that will ever run on PowerPC macs is being surprisingly resilient to those calls to upgrade? I'd be curious to see how many of the 3.6 laggards really are on old macs and are simply unab
