At another conference, the camera's focus was on the speaker the whole time and the slides were edited in later, thus making them more legible. Of course, this requires either a camera operator who switches the video input when appro- priate or two recordings that are edited in post-production.

Though perhaps well outside the mainstream US beer drinkers normal experience there are a good variety of barley wines, Trappist type ales, bocks and doppelbocks available in the US. The whole category of high test beer is a fav of mine, and I'd agree you shouldn't need more than a couple of fingers to know when you've had enough. Personally, I'd say it's more like: select limit from beer where type in ( 'Barley wine', 'Trappist', 'Bock', 'Doppelbock' ) limit -- 1 -- Peter Hunsberger -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

Re: [GENERAL] [pgeu-general] PGDay.EU 2009 - Call for lighting talks
hi dave, here are some suggestions: Artificial intelligence PostgreSQL: We use PostgreSQL to run database driven neural networks as well as classification algorithms for a leading edge application. Our neural networks are running directly inside PostgreSQL. This shows that PostgreSQL is not just a database but a wonderful development environment as well. Full-Text-Indexing: We use PostgreSQL to run a full-text price search engine. PostgreSQL modifications: We are porting industrial applications from Informix to PostgreSQL. The goal is to run entire factories using PostgreSQL. Many thanks, hans Dave Page wrote: The PGDay.EU 2009 conference in Paris will include a series of lightning talks on Saturday the 7th November.
