Amen to that. Oracle appears to me to be just a big labor intensive waste of time. We have systems that will only run on it after being told that the purpose of relational databases was portability. Now can only use oracle with certain system. Just ignorance wanting to go that direction.
good one jb
You can have “Link Unit” ads which have no graphics and are very unobtrusive. You can filter them to exclude domains or types of ads.
I think it would solve the problem.

If I were creating a website it would be with the database Firebird which is free for commercial use.
2nd choice would be postgresql: http://www.postgresql.org/
3d choice would be php, Mysql.
I just wanted to note on this thread that “legacy” threads from before some time in 2001 still are unavailable. I’ve never had any word on whether they are gone forever, or might be resurrected at some point.
An example:
The Clinton Body Count

where would all the pompous sanctimonious self rightousists go?
they are quarantined for a reason
Gzip or Deflate are HTTP compression modules which allow your browswer to download a websites data more quickly.

A penny for your thoughts.
I don't have any insider information at all. I'm just a peon FReeper who wants FR to continue on into the future even better than it is now. And I'm not rich enough to donate the big bucks so I'm doing the only thing I can think of and that's getting the word out, plain and simple.
The fundamental problem is that the company placing the ad would be firebombed by leftist zealots
On a related note. FR has been telling certain groups that they are not welcome. I wonder what impact that has on the length of time the fund raisers run.
We’ve been stuck on 12% for a while.
Regardless of the intent to keep things the way the owner wants, some of the hands that have been bitten did feed FR.
If everyone who comes here regularly paid their share then how much would that be? How much do we need?
I give $30/month - sure doesn’t seem like much for what I get in return. I don’t subscribe to any newspapers or magazines anymore.
On that note, of late there seems to have been a number of Mormon - Christian dogfights bleeding over into News / Activism.
I think each person who posts should get a star by their name for donation.
Hmmm? Hall of shame.
Maybe that isn’t such a bad idea, the more you contribute the bigger the stars or some kind of indicator as to your level of support, a little competition so to speak.
Another way to recognize possible TROLLS, and another way of telling who’s who. I like it. Possibly generating twice the present level of contributions.
Up to the owner though.
