I fail to see how this is sensationalist. This ruling will be used in the future as a previous case reference to exclusionary reasoning for determining humanity. That is specifically bad.
String functions that are irregularly named...that's exactly how C started. I dont think anyone claims PHP is a finished language because of obvious irregularities like that. A more accurate statement would be, "in refined and full-featured languages, similar commands have similar names". PHP is specifically loose with it's syntax for ease (the reverse is that every page of code looks different from programmer to programmer). So what. Anyone make code ugly, why try in vain to stop it when your aim is ease of use? I would like to know the real reason you think PHP is a steaming pile.
My first memory is of the operating door closing on my mom as I was being secured on a gurney to be taken in for open heart surgery when I was 2. She said we'd get Taco Bell afterwards cause I used to like that.
They tend to notify you after a few days, hey, that daemon or process is just something we dont like, turn it off. I was suprised that HLDS was considered "too processor intensive" and I cancelled immediately of course. If they are not going to let me run anything processor intensive, why list their specs. Here's what we have to offer, god forbid you try to use it, we'll have to terminate your account.
Speaking of character trends, another author - Dean Koontz demonstrated an unusual tendency in his books circa 1992 (which he published like 6). If you re-read you will see all the 'specifically described' Asian characters die, sometimes in very very briefly described events and no matter how abscure. If in one story 'a checkout girl at a supermarket' is noticed by another character to be "an average looking asian woman with high cheekbones" - she'll be seen a short time later in the parking lot in a pool of her own blood or missing all her vital organs or something. This was something I noticed when I was reading that kind of stuff. I thought it was strange and worth mentioning!
Most every person who considers Armor the BEST book and universe ever created, has served in the military.
Armor is a military novel. Armor is a single book which Steakly has never revisited - although the characters appear again in Vampires (which a movie was based on).
The story is not unique and is OPENLY based on another book, Starship Troopers (the original). The beauty is that the physical universe Armor takes place in, is essentially the same as Starship Troopers but the psychological is different, changing the entire universe as much as a physical change would.
Vanilla Sky may in fact have a lot in common with Solaris. As an aside about Vanilla Sky FYI:
Contrary to popular belief, Vanilla Sky is a cerebral geek movie. It's not until halfway into the movie you really start thinking about what might be happening. Personally, I enjoy the kinds of movies where every scenario I think of gets invalidated 5 minutes after I think of it by further developments. When Cruise is running through the halls screaming "I"m having a crisis I need some technical support!!!" and almost literally tearing his hair out, I found myself very satisfied with having paid to see it. Some people who I believe were expecting Mission Impossible 3 were walking out at the time.
your need for absolutes, either "proper use" by your undefined standard or no use at all betrays a dangerous incompetence. There are steps to knowledge. How can you be computer literate and turn around and say (in effect, since you already have a tacit knowledge of windows), dont use it unless you know how?
Ancillary point: This has nothing to do with relation in databases.
While your example is a valid abuse of the database, this also has nothing to do with joins...your example implies a stored-procedure, which is beyond the scope of beginner for sure. In my original post I did not make it clear that most webhosting companies provide MySQL already. I have to ask again, how can there be harm in beginners trying to use a database on their own projects? Why would those projects use joins?
Your answer is "dont use what you dont know"? How did you get better without baby steps? You're like a kid who says "I'm too smart for school". You cant just magically "get" the fundamentals of calculus from experience. Calculus took Newton & Leibniz half their lives to come up with the fundamentals. Calculus is not something you just "pick up" or "infer" from lower math. As with SQL, you have to take small steps first.
I disagree. Joins are completely unnecessary for any 1 person web-project while almost every cgi and hell webhost provides one. Why bother setting up a flat file format on a foregin server? Multiple tables don't imply joins. Joins are not for beginners and you do know sql if you can do single table manipulations. You know syntax and understand the physical data relationship. The fact that you don't use structs in any project for your beginning C class doesnt mean you don't know C. You just don't know much and aren't using it properly. For fun, why would someone want to TRY to use joins as a beginner? Don't be silly.
The comment by the AC below about beaches was classic - XML is terrible. If your XML experience comes from reading an article by the creator, you weren't slandered, you were put in place. XML has is a tool that allows for some pretty effects, but so what? Just because I've seen the amazing gum alley in San Luis Obispo CA doesnt mean I should try to always stick my gum on walls when I'm done. There are plenty of better ways to accomplish what XML tries to be and the fact that no one has had the time to step up to the plate, doesnt mean we should take XML and be happy. That's what happened with SMTP and now we're screwed.
a steamy pile of crap, I have to agree. It's not a flame if it's an objective statement by someone who still owns a Texas Instruments console. I have standards ppl and Ghost is almost the exact opposite of a new Halflife mod 'Natural Selection'. No gameplay depth, just pretty colors. That's what warcraft iii turned out to be about.
Rig a pump, a rubber bucket/tub, use some springler tubing (some of which you want to saw in half to make the upward sloping ramp. Pump water up, let it slide down and the kinetic energy carries it up a noticeable sloping half-pipe back into the tub. Simple, interesting.
In 1998 the companies I worked for were all (At some point) charged with violating the disabilties act. None of it went to trial, ever, because the "web" is not covered by the disabilities act any more than space travel is. Customer service for silicon valley companies have all gotten "charged" with this sort of thing and it has no merit. I'm surprised it's making the news today. Must be out of stories about the danger of backing up quickly in parking lots (thanks NBC for real journalism).
Also, be advised that the median temperature of venus is greater than that of the SURFACE OF MERCURY facing the sun (it has a relatively sluggish rotation leading to insane surface temperatures) - making rocket fuel and most earthmade components rather...useless, when you get to the goopy surface of venus. Nothing from earth is going to land and take off again in the near future.
The sysadmin for Bank of America HQ and I had a short discussion about open source relating to this topic. He asked "How do you make money with open source games? Gamers will not buy it in any meaningful quantities if they can download it for free, that is the nature of a gamer." I responded with "Product placement within the game" and he was enlightened. Imagine if Pepsi had paid a small fee to be placed strategically in Halflife...
This is not a new idea, but an idea companies dont explore because computer games dont stay popular for very long. Quite a few games are demonstrating differently but no corporation is comfortable betting heavily on any specific upcoming game. Daikatana. Quake3. Warcraft 3. These have essentially not demonstrated the market prevalence or durability that was expected from the super-informed community.
Did any of you even watch this last season? It's almost as if they WANTED to get cancelled. I'm sorry, but I havent even wanted to watch the show for the last 3 months because of the crappy writing and LAME LAME LAME special effects that the first few episodes featured. I'm glad someone put it out of its misery.
So according to recent articles regarding anime power armor and military proposals, the script writer for "the invisible man" (or appropriate pre-Scifi channel individual to first think of it), are owed money because it was their idea?
The money MIT recieved was a grant. Now most people have a hard time discerning the difference between a grant and a paycheck but the fact of the matter is that the grant is for development and it would be immoral to direct funds from the grant to the comic because they used images in their proposal. They should have paid for the images ahead of time. Citing the 50 million is erroneous and does not justify nor warrant MIT paying out of that or because of that. The fault was pre-acceptance and there is where the solid arguments for "theft" arise. My problem is that I think it's a lot of bs and this isnt theft. It's bitterness beacause a comic company doesnt have an in-track with the military or any real interest and they think wow...we missed out on money.
I prefer chocolate covered expresso beans for when you absolutely must stay up, however I dont have trouble staying up till 2am, I have trouble when I want to NOT sleep cause I'm up till 8 or 10am - When can we hope to bottle the stuff that keeps me awake when I'm working on my favorite project or I just cant find that proggy bug? I hear speed works wonders but what I really want is some black market adrenaline. Why arent people manufacturing and selling that?
This is about the 30th article in my lifetime that Scientific American had an article about time travel and how it might be possible to do it. This isnt news, it's tradition.
Why did the article make it a point not to associate itself with a related article posted a few days ago when they are both specifically about the same topic and are obviously related in so far as being about obtaining diamonds not sold by the diamond mafia can be considered "related"? (yes that was a run-on question) I cant be the only one irked by this ridiculous *hint* *hint* look at the other one too *hint* *hint* plug.
Any well designed database should be entirely accessible to the end user without them being able to do ANYTHING they can't do via the web interface anyways.
This is where I fundamentally disagree. Databases should not be concerned with security any more than they should be concerned with spellchecking. All databases I know of have access restriction which is appropriate...even webservers have access restriction. Whether or not I have the ability to execute a certain TYPE of query should be in there...yes this means you would often have to DUPLICATE data/structures across "accounts", but that would create an unmanageable amount of extra work with todays tools which do not account for this type of design, but rather are all geared toward the "view" design. What I'm really asking is if there a serious logical flaw or angle I'm missing in my perceptions?
And while this is a widely accepted practice and considered necessary because of circular dependence (application developers assume "Enterprise databases" will use features, so they include them), this is not necessarily good design. It's convenient. A database without (we'll say a view layer for simplicity) a view layer is a better product because it's specialized; reduced cost, smaller codebase to maintain, etc etc. Hell, if someone came wanted to code a (well designed...yadda yadaa) view layer for MySQL in C++, dont you think that's a saner way to go?
