Flabbiness:
Flexibility is great with EAV, but there will be no structure any longer.
Typically, the reliability on the built-in database features such as referential integrity is lost. To
guarantee that a column takes values only in acceptable range, integrity check needs to be coded inside the application.
Inefficient
queries: In cases where one would be required to
execute a simple query returning 20 columns from a single table in classic row
modeling technique, in EAV one ends up with 20 self-joins, one for each column.
It makes for illegible code and dreadful
performance as volumes grow.
Features
unavailability:
Much of the machinery of modern relational databases will be unavailable and
will need to be recreated by the development team. For e.g. System tables,
graphic query tools, fine grained data security etc.
Other
standard tools are much less useful:
Cursors in database functions do not return
rows of user data since the data must first be pivoted. Users defined functions
become large and are harder to develop and debug. Ad-hoc SQL queries of the
data take much longer to write and the necessary joins are hard to specify so
that data does not get missed.
The
format is also not well supported by the DBMS internals: The
standard query optimizers for SQL do not handle the EAV formatted data well and
much time will have to be spent on performance tuning for an acceptable
production quality application. Having a few huge tables and many small ones
can frustrate the DBMS code that tries to optimize disk layout.

Valleywag reports that ousted HP CEO Mark Hurd is paying dearly to roll with Oracle, giving up millions of dollars to settle the HP lawsuit that threatened to prevent him from working at his new job. Hurd will forfeit about 345,000 restricted HP shares that he was given as part of his HP exit package, which had a market value of $13.6 million. In addition to announcing the truce against the backdrop of Oracle's OpenWorld conference, HP and Oracle also reaffirmed their vows to each other.
The bug in the name of the C++ language.

From the internet, a popular quote goes like this: "Of course, while it is true that the ++ operator gives the C++ language its name, it also led to the first joke about the language. C++ haters point out that even the name of the language contains a bug: 'After all, it should really be called ... ++C, because we only want to use a language after it has been improved.' " We will now see why this joke is so absolutely hilarious. int main() { int x = 40; int y = ++x + 1; std::cout << x << '\n' << y; } Output: x = 41, y = 42. The pre-increment operator first increments the value of x (the ++) and then stores it in the variable. Hence, when the code is executed, x becomes 41 AFTER being assigned to y . The post-increment works the other way, the value is first stored in the lvalue before being assigned to the rvalue of the variable being incremented. int main() { int x = 40; int y = x++ + 1; std::cout <&l
Biography of The Rock 'n' Roll Drummer...John bonham....

John Bonham was born in the Midlands countryside of Worcestershire on 31 May 1948. He got his first snare drum at 10, a present from his mum. He joined his first band, Terry Webb and the Spiders, at the age of 16 in 1964. In 1965, he joined his second band, A Way of Life, and met Pat Phillips at a dance near his home in Kidderminster. At age 17, they were married. The band became inactive and Bonham, with a new wife to support, had either to make a go of drumming financially or quit. He had met a young singer, Robert Plant , a couple of years earlier, and Plant wa currently in a band called Crawling King Snakes, and they needed a drummer. Bonham fitted the bill. Bonham lived quite a way from the rest of the band and transportation costs (i.e. petrol money) stretched the finances of a struggling band to the limit. Within a few months, Bonham had left the band to rejoin the local A Way of Life. He was completely self-taught as a drummer, and despite this fact, or ma

Wi-Fi WPA2 Zero Day Vulnerability Found

Black Hat conference: a claimed vulnerability in WPA2 Enterprise that leaves traffic open to a malicious insider. "...wireless security researchers say they have uncovered a vulnerability in the WPA2 security protocol, which is the strongest form of Wi-Fi encryption and authentication currently standardized and available. Malicious insiders can exploit the vulnerability, named 'Hole 196' by the researcher who discovered it at wireless security company AirTight Networks. The moniker refers to the page of the IEEE 802.11 Standard (Revision, 2007) on which the vulnerability is buried. Hole 196 lends itself to man-in-the-middle-style exploits, whereby an internal, authorized Wi-Fi user can decrypt, over the air, the private data of others, inject malicious traffic into the network, and compromise other authorized devices using open source software, according to AirTight. 'There's nothing in the standard to upgrade to in order to patch or fix the hole,' says Kaustub
