The problem is that HP is not the fondly remembered HP of yesterday who brought us fine and sturdy computers such as the 98xx line.
If only HP could bring back something as slick as the 9826... (bigger image here).
i think you americans should make a revolution reloaded or some other sequel
we over here in switzerland add things to our constitution four times a year
Anthony needs to sit in one place while someone beats him about the head with a flyswatter, and needs to be told that being hit with a flyswatter about the head multiple times is just an annoyance he has to deal with in a free society. Then maybe he'd get it.
If you have a bad programmer working on bad code, that's probably true. In good code in an OO language, you have three lines of defense.
he first is the object interface itself. If the object interface doesn't have a way to change something, then there's no way to break it externally.
The second is the internal object code. It should be written in such a way that the integrity requirements are clear. A developer mucking around in the object's code should be able to tell what the important bits are.
The third is the unit tests. Not only will they document the purpose and nature of the object, but they will also prevent a careless developer from breaking something important.
Typical poppycock from a spoon-fed Java kid.
There are other programming languages than Java in life. Or C-- for that matter. What you are describing is a fine way to lock 1u3ers into using a single platform. That's double-plus ungood. Or are you proposing to use OBJECT COBOL????
And stored procedures can be made inaccessible to DB 1u3ers such as programmers, thus GUARANTEREEING data integrity..
The idea of a database is to put the whole data-relation logic in the database, if only to insure atomicity of operations.
Because as soon as you rely on an external process to maintain data integrity, you're bound to fall prey to some sloppy programmer who does not understand the data relationships and will not properly maintain the data integrity.
At least, when you use stored procedures, you can concentrate the data integrity logic in only one place, which is easier to control and manage.
US railroad requires, for safety, something that road vehicles will not be able to have.
Buffing strength.
That's the ability to withstand collision with something else moving on the rails.
Amtrak's sleek spanish-built Talgo train is operating on a FRA waiver that allows it to operate without the prerequisite buffing strength, much to Bombardier's chagrin (who keeps pestering the FRA with cease and desist orders).
European trains can be less sturdy than US trains, not because they're smaller, but simply because in the USA, there is no positive signal enforcement; that is, there is nothing to stop a train from sailing through a red signal.
For this reason, rolling stock will have to be built so sturdily that operating it on the roads would be a much uneconomical and foolish proposition...
So we need some other way to deal with total psychopathic losers. If the lithium lollypop doesn't work or a heroin hot-shot from heaven fails to take out the trash, a standard lethal injection will do the trick. No reason to get all worked up about it.
The problem with this approach is that for one asshole to die, an innocent has to die also. Much too high a body-count to be efficient.
And I have upwards of 100 pirated movies and more than 15 gigs on "pirated" MP3s - all legally downloaded and ripped (it's legal in Canada to copy music from friends/libraries and to distribute MP3s via P2P).
And I will pirate more movies and music, in the hope that everybody will do the same and kill the movie and music "industries".
How can you possibly be up in arms over a GPL license violation yet be supportive of copyright violation on P2P networks? Seems like a double standard to think license violation is okay and "justified" in one instance but not in another. Just askin'.

Hey! Ma! Look at what the cat trolled in!!! A slashdot republican!!!
Use a +* alias entry instead.
This way, you still have a catchall, but it only "works" with the start of an address, and if the spam becomes unbearable, you can junk it totally and start afresh.
Patriot Act? Who comes up with these names anyway?
It's marketing. Just like People's republic of China or German Democratic Republic, if you say it's something (people's or democratic), it sure is not...
Back in the good old days, bills were given names that had to do with what they were about! Take the Alien and Sedition Act: it covered aliens: ie. foreigners, and sedition: ie. calling the president names.
Since I'm not an american (and therefore an alien), does this bill applies when I say that President Bush is a cheat, a thief and a liar ????
Even if the check cleared, it doesn't matter. If the company filed for bankruptcy, the creditors would force any payments made within the last 90 days to be returned. Are you sure your story isn't fiction? Why couldn't you just replace the motherboard or swap the harddrive into a new mac?
The story is true, and I can have three other persons swear it's true. What the fuck is that nonsense about forcing the payments to be returned? Once you paid for something, the money has changed hands and that's it and that's all.
Or is it some kind of stupid american law??? (hint: it didn't happen in the USA)

Well, hopefully, since it will be invented by the yankees (unlike the Concorde), the technology will not be sunk down...
Merci.

At least, it's COW guts, not BULL guts.
Update résumé, maybe???

Both are lossy formats, so they are a lesser-quality than the original.
