  1. Removal on Pentagon Creating A Database Of Students · · Score: 1

    If this database is intended to help the DoD keep track of likely recruits, will they purge it annually of the people who graduate? If not, then this is just a front for a full government database of its citizens.

  2. Re:Can it predict the Presidential Election??? on Supercomputers Race to Predict Storms · · Score: 4, Funny

    No, you misunderstood. The Diebold supercomputer ("Big Brother") doesn't predict the election, it decides it.

  3. Re:Good on Berkeley Breathed Back in the Funnies · · Score: 1
    I have a hard time thinking that Tux can take a guy (ok, penguin) with a nose that big, wearing leather and spikes, and playing rhythm tuba in a band named Deathtongue.

  4. Purdue, not Perdue on What to do when your Domain is Threatened? · · Score: 1

    Just a little off-topic, but the university name is spelled with a 'u' (Purdue) while the chicken company is spelled with an 'e' (Perdue). Therefore, there is no trademark issue between the two. Thanks for listening.

  5. Re:sqlplus on Oracle SQL Development Environment in Linux? · · Score: 1

    I personally prefer SQL Worksheet. It comes with Enterprise Manager, and allows you to do *almost* everything you can do in SQL*Plus. Some of the SQL*Plus commands (i.e. Set) aren't supported for some strange reason, but you get a command history and point-and-click editing of your SQL. I use it every day, and have given up on SQL*Plus.
