Took me about two years to get used to a bloody mouse, myself - I still go to the command line for lots of things (mapping network drives, for example - it's about 5 times quicker than using the bloated POS that is the Windows GUI).
Several million articles on the intricacies of goatherding and wifebeating, plus a special bonus section on how to be a complete and utter arse when living in other peoples countries.
Just look at Oldham, Bury, Bradford and other northern towns for an example.
Don't know why you got a 'Funny' mod - my immediate reaction on reading the summary was 'WTF - is this so difficult?'.
What's so difficult about extending an existing biometric database that it's worth $1 billion (or 20 quid - 30 Euros once the Iranians start dealing their oil in a stable and sustainable currency:P)?
And you'd really use the database to do the count?
Don't get me wrong - it's years since I worked in manufacturing, but in the dark ages, we used to have PLCs to do the counting, and a SCADA system to grab and record the data as required.
Your example isn't the most realistic I've ever seen - I cannot ever forsee a situation where the data needs to be stored at all in which ACID is no longer important.
That's right, I like to code, and I code fast and accurately, and I don't want any of the engineerting paperwork and bullshit to get in my way.
I've had dealings with 'chartered engineers' in the past, and having to explain fluid flow in pipes from first principles before they would admit they'd f***ed up wasn't my idea of productive time.
Considering that most of the neocons are strongly linked with the Likud party in Israel, associating them with the 3rd Reich is in questionable taste, to say the least.
Having said that, I can see them engineering a conflict with Iran just to further Irsael's ends - that's certainly the motive behind the Iraq conflict so far as I can see.
As I remember it (as a teenager in the 1970s), old Ziggy Brzezinski was a pretty fair foreign policy expert, who was undermined in his attempts to stop the Iranian revolution by the State Department and Cyrus Vance.
He always seemed to be a realist, and I doubt whether he'd be swayed by the Likudnik desire for a war with Iran today - he always aimed to spread freedom without the use of force if possible.
But then I'm a Brit, looking in from outside - perhaps he's viewed differently in the US.
Or Kekule's dream of a snake curled up eating its tail that led him to the structure of benzene - a more vivid and accessible example of the same phenomenon.
Actually, it's quite common (more so in League than Union) for players to wear padding under the shirt - it's not in any way as heavy as that used in American Football, but it's there.
I used to play Union, love watching both codes, but will be watching the game tonight and rooting for the Giants (New Englanders are so snooty:P).
It's different to rugby, but some of us in the UK can appreciate the planning and skill of the game - same as we enjoy baseball but play cricket (there was a thriving baseball league in South Wales after WWII, but it died out - my Grandpa used to play).

And Commodore 64s? Try Pets!
Get off my lawn :)
I was doing my O-levels in 1978 - thanks for making me feel old, you insensitive clod :(
Still remember listening to the original on an old radiogram that my Dad passed on to me when he got a new-fangled Hi-fi :-)
Oh, and btw - get off my lawn!

Well, they could sing much better, for a start.
What an uppity prick you are.
And does the stated mass include the coconut?
Round my way, they call them a babymother - if you're lucky, you get one as a wife.
What's with the sudden outbreak of 'nigger' trolls, anyway?
Was about 2001 when the last one happened - have the trolls got a 7 year itch, or what?
At my school, about a fifth of pupils were Jews, and some of them were good people, some of them were Zionists.
I'll happily abuse someone for being a Zionist, because I believe that Zionism is inherently evil and wrong.
But if your only crime is believing in a religion that's even sillier than Christianity, then go ahead - I won't abuse you for that.
Oh, and by the way - I am a sociopathic atheist :P
Hell, even Clarkson might be converted to Greenery with one of those!
I would object to your characterisation, but I'm a fat, drunk Brit who couldn't give a toss.
:P
Why do traffic cops always go in pairs?
One to read the numbers, one to read the letters.
Obviously, dangerous intellectuals would never join the police in the first place :P

Barcodes would be easier to process - IBM could even sell the readers ;-)
Thanks for that - I needed cheering up :P
And yes, I have it on very good authority that on one camping weekend, he did in fact take a shit in the Black Forest.
If they were Russian, it'd be Maffiya - mostly run by Jewish criminals.

Postgres has a load more oompha, that's all.
And don't get me started on the lederhosen.
:P
So long as it's a simple 'select' query, I have no objection to joining between databases - it's just messy, obscure and bad practice.
I don't want to be an engineer!

No - among the horsemen are Famine, War, Pestilence and Death.
Nobody expects...
