This is crazy. Why wouldn't somebody want a schema?

It certainly can mean that they are less bright.

A logo is nothing like a city layout.

I can't believe that you're receiving this poor of a response for acting like a normal person. It's as though everyone on HN is a hypersensitive person.

Isn't it just a linux distro with gnome3?

I'm not sure how much it really says about feature creep. I mean, sure, features increased, but it was really more about how the people used it than anything.

This was actually the 80s, I believe.

Apparently, 617 million dollars.

The ability to have the ability to wage civil war is an inherent right of any United States citizen, regardless of the non-existent right to actually wage it.

Red herring. If Penn State coaches had bet on the games, that might be applicable.

Or, you know, Unix.

Edit: Which came from Multics, I know.

I don't think 1 to 0 is really a reliable result.

So it's got all the opacity of an RDBMS with none of the upsides? Great!

Quite frankly, as a developer, I prefer to use flat files (I guess these days we call that NoSQL), but for performance, I often must use Postgres or whatever fits the job.
