Could/would someone help me, I'd really appreciate it. Information has disappeared from the web. Thanks. Seriously, can I get it off my computer? Could/would someone help me, I’d really

This is an invasion of my privacy, I can't find anywhere to send a complaint! My finger was Not on the touchpad. You can feel the energy coming of that videoembed screen. creepy.

I'd rather be meeting people, strategizing, planning, etc. Development and graphic design (both past careers) felt too much like grunt work, which is why I moved out of them. :) “Used to” because I don’t like “doing work”.

"faster" ? Ok, I'll just leave that one alone. Might want to take a peek at something like this though: http://rhea.redhat.com/bboard-archive/acs_applications/000avF.html I do agree with your initial comment that this is a case of shoddy programming and I think I'll just leave it at that. However, I am curious why you say "used to" (in my case there is no past tense, it is very present tense) -- did you retire or something? LOL You are a young guy, the money is <i>a lot</i> better in programming than writing/blogging. Hmm, storing large binary files in a relational database … “faster” ?

Which is why I said the only excuse'd be shoddy programming. Don't worry though, you can force MySQL to behave in just the way you fear ;-) Oh, and don’t worry, I know that most databases aren’t generally case sensitive (they are, but not the way you’re talking about).

I don't actually believe this is a filesystem issue, unless Google's not using any abstraction at all (which'd be stupid). The videos should be being stored directly into databases. It's faster than filesystem access and much more manageable. So, where do I think they're being uploaded to? Directly into a database. Anything else'd be rather foolish (IMHO). But, then, I haven't looked at Google Video's architecture yet. I used to do programming as well.

We're talking apples and oranges here. Remember, I do programming for a living, Jeremy :) The issue described in this article IS a file level case sensitivity issue. Where do you think the videos are being uploaded from the Google Video uploading program? To a Unix-based filesystem. That's why the username match isn't there. I thought this was clear, mon ... apparently not. Wow, you responded before I responded. We’re talking apples and oranges here.

Thanks for stopping by :) MySQL is case insensitive also:

SELECT name FROM videos WHERE name=’tdavid’

is the same as

SELECT name FROM videos WHERE name=’TDavid’

Good luck getting in :) Filesystem level case sensitivity (as in your Unix) example is different than database-level case sensitivity (as in your GMail user id). Shoddy programming is the only reason to have something like this happen. It has nothing to do with filesystem case sensitivity (which Windows can do as well, btw).
