Yeah what's up with that ? I mean, I could imagine that if you lived in Australia, then associating a midsummer's feast with a cool beverage would not be so strange, but Christmas in the northern hemisphere ? What completely retarded marketing twat thought that up ?!
Of course I haven't RTFA and I certainly don't mind micro-organisms reaching the stratosphere. But how come they don't fall down - that's what I want to know !
It may be illegal for humans to discriminate against ports, but it's probably not illegal to let software figure out what kind of traffic causes major disruptions; after all: software isn't biased.
1) That's nothing to do with normalization. 2) So you had to pour over data from one column into a temporary varchar one, delete the original column and then rename the temporary one to the original one ? Poor you. Look how they make you work.
I know what you're saying; that's why I explicitly included views that are the result of code (can be done in postgres and oracle) and materialized views (oracle). Especially materialized views can make you forget about performance issues; the data is just available as you want it to be as if it were a proper table, indexed and all, and if your original data has been abstracted and normalized correctly, you don't have the headache of pushing hacks into your original data purely for performance reasons either.
I think it's usually best to have views (whether with rows that are the result of code, or with a pure 'select' definition, or materialized ones) define what your application 'sees', so that you can always change the underlying datastructure. That way refactoring becomes a bit more easy.
You don't want remote deployment; that's an MS-concoction invented to make your life slightly less difficult. Think outside the box. Simply go with read-only boot media. Doesn't have to be a CD (but it's handy): then get everything (from apps, to privileges, to filesystem-space) from your network. New release means new CD. Superfast, superflexible. Your workstations can be simple and cheap Asus boxen; the real investment comes from having a good network and good central service machines.
Yeah, but wouldn't the first thing you'd do in the system API design of any non-null language be, the creation of a singleton object instance of the superclass of all objects, named 'null' ?
Also, apart from 'null' there are loads of parameters than can have illegal ranges and must be checked to be proper.
Thirdly, a similar rant can be had against non-range checking of enums in C (but then warning against it in switches (WTF?)).
MS OSes come with support for iso9660, which I'm sure is patented by Phillips or Sony or both. The solution is simple; develop an easy filesystem standard and reference implementation like iso9660 for removable devices (can't be ext{n}, because MS would never go for the GPL, besides it would have to be one where flushing should be instant and not some afterthought).
Well I happen to have a colleague (who is an otherwise bright guy, right out of tech uni) who strongly professes to believe that the world is indeed 6000 years old. And we're very much in Europe. But yeah - we don't have any 'creation museums' or such things, but individually - I say it happens.
I was blinking there for a second too, but my guess is that the person who claims that UNIX does leap seconds is actually confused with NTP - which/does/ do leap seconds (and is what most desktop clocks would use).
These commercial breaks are not 'invasive'. Somebody groping you on the street on your way to work is invasive. You can still choose not to listen to web radio.
And I don't just want margin notes. I want that old WP idea back that you can have 'special characters' inside your text to anchor things on. I mean, it already exists essentially in OOo, in the form of page breaks. But there the concepts ends, somehow. Why can't I have special anchors in the text (to be made visible in a certain mode, for example by using coloured dots) to hang things on, like, for example, margin notes ? Or images ? It would make put an end to page breaks being a special case, and it would put an end to images being 'superimposed' on the text. Instead, any anchor would just flow with the text.
And the other thing I want (aside from the pony) is for fonts to (optionally) travel with documents. And to be prompted for the installation of said font when I open up a document on a machine that doesn't have it. So that my documents look the same on whatever machine I choose to open it on.
What I don't understand is why TVs don't yet have a function that not only mutes it, but also makes the screen almost dark. So that you can just spot when your program is back on.
Yes, but proving intent to arouse is easy - it only takes a testimony, proving 'arousingness' is also easy - it only requires somebody declaring that they were aroused, but proving 'encouraging further abuse of children' seems wholly impossible. I mean, how you're gonna do that ?

? Strange. Your wife tells me something completely different.

That's a lot of words to say that their success is accidental.
You're right. That *was* fast.

That's what's called a 'recording studio session'.

No, 'decimated' would mean one in ten, so 13 out of 130 ships. /pedantic mode off.
in Soviet Russia, your sentence ends YOU. With a full stop.
Ouch.

Great. Your CPU will reset when you touch the case. Or when the weather changes.
