@Andy It doesn't actually explain the roles. In what way is one a master and one a slave? Does the slave fetch coffee for the master? If the slave misbehaves, does the master have it beaten?
But my point was that "master" and "slave" are pretty generic terms that only mean something in IT because we define them to mean something. "Primary" is also fairly meaningless. "replica" has a more concrete meaning. It means something that is a copy of something else.
So "master/slave" is vague. "Primary/replica" is more concrete.
Thus also possibly wrong, if it isn't describing the actual topology of the db network...
But I think in this case they are not concerned with all the possible db deployments, only the ones that involve replication for load balancing or redundancy

What's the difference between "unconstitutional" and "likely unconstitutional"? May I get the source of ...
I find this sentence having a flaw. Let me analyse it to expose the flaw.

I have an interesting problem here. I downloaded part of an ISO file, burnt it without knowing it was a partial download then found that I could not erase it anymore. Why does the partial image damage the disc like that?
@Robusto um... uh... the collection agency just called... I have to take this.
@KitFox I've heard of it. It means different things to different people. For some it is distributed file store. For others it is a way to do MapReduce, to have multiple processors run a homogeneous operation with a lot of processors on a lot of data and recombine the results.
okay, I don't mean to be on topic or anything, but I'm obviously pretty new to this particular stack exchange (I'm used to Linguistics and StackOverflow).
Is it typical for people to ask questions about novels? I'm seeing a lot of that.
@Andy also, you know you can be more precise in your responses by clicking the down arrow to the left of a message and clicking on 'reply to this message'.
Sadly one is not able to respond to ones own messages. I blame Microsoft.
@Andy Undoubtedly alluring and mysterious. Like cake in an oven... is it done yet? It's smells so good! But if you open the door.. wait, that's the problem with souffle. With cake open the door all you want.
@Cerberus The anomaly from 2005-2008 can be explained by the natural gas discoveries off of Labrador and the correction in 2009 to an amendment to NAFTA.
I think what I was saying is that an indirect causal link is still causal, even though we usually reserve causal to indicate a direct causal link, or at least a temporally unidirectional one.
@Cerberus It isn't a big deal, but if you don't downvote it you can use the downvotes as a meter, 6 spam flags add 6 downvotes, but 6 spam flags also delete it.
Well, I've got to run now too. At least I'm done trying to twist my tongue around Spanish words. Nice language, my tongue just doesn't think so. I'll have to catch you later @Jasper!
