One thing I never understood, why is prostitution (paying someone to have sex with you) illegal but making pornography (paying someone to have sex with you or another person in front of a camera) is legal? Would a John be able to beat a pandering rap by waving a camera and saying he was planning on filming the act and putting it on the internet? I like Carlin's thinking on the matter. "Selling's legal, fucking's legal, why isn't selling fucking legal?" Only in Vegas.
They are paid as actors, not as prostitutes. The sex is considered consensual.
A better design would be to use a unique identifier. SS number, DL number, etc... This would solve a lot of the problems with misidentified people, especially Americans (who common sense would tell you are the ones doing the majority of flying within the US).
Perhaps for some people from other countries it might be hard to come up with such a unique identifier, but in cases where it's possible they should just search on SS#. That way poor ol' Bob Smith #3 doesn't get harassed just because Bob Smith #784 is a bad guy.
Thats dumb. How about a unique id, and you can search by their name. (There has to be a human readable way to search, and SSN doesn't make much sense)
Also, I don't recall anyone stating that their name was the identifier.
Please do explain how data INTEGRETY is affected by the way you define indexes
You don't think a database might lose some degree of integrity by lacking primary, foreign and unique key indexes?
Maybe I'm reading this wrong. But, an index is not the same as a pk or a fk.
Integrity is determined by pk and fk and the type of relationships that they hold.
An index is handy for making speedy queries.
Also, 460 tables has little to do with the poor design, if the designers went a little over-board with data normalization. I doubt that its normalized because it was "poorly indexed." (I don't even know what that means.)
However, it could be several tables that all hold similar data, yet they *could* be house in a master table. If that is the case, thats just bad design.
Get toothpaste. NOT GEL, but regular white paste. Get a small cloth, put a dab on it, then rub it from the center to the outside in straight lines going outwards around the whole disk. When you're done, clean it off and pat it dry. Disk will look like hell, but it'll work.
I have rescued lord knows how many CDs with this technique, including console ones that were completely screwed, and even resurrected a dead DVD-RW just this past weekend using this technique.
The new iPhone nano will not include a qwerty keyboard, as the new form factor would not allow it. I'm posting anon for obvious reasons, but as an Apple insider I will inform you that there is "slider" technology -- you see, the new form factor is a closely-guarded secret because it will be the must-have gadget of all Apple fans: it's a butt-plug! Yes, the gadget which all Mac users secretly desire but were afraid to ask for. What did you think they wanted to do? Pick up WOMEN? The female Maccies could simply use their imagination to put the iPlug to good use.
I work for an IT vendor, on a Navy site. When someone puts in their two weeks notice, Navy policy dictates that their privileges are taken immediately. You do not get one iota of computer access.
This happened to one of our ex-employees about a year ago. After sitting around for about a day, he just left. He couldn't do anything, but just sit around.
I agree, it gets to be a headache to listen to everyone around you, all the time. If you have have to deal with the "bull pin" style office, the partitions and an ipod can help ease the pain
Slightly off topic: It's spelled "Les" Nessman, with one S. WKRP rocked.
I stand by what I said. It is theft, if you deprive the owner the monetary value that he/she was asking for so you could have the music in the first place.
ZFS is open source, using Sun's CDDL license. the problem is that the CDDL isn't compatible with the GPL. That is a two-way street. It could be said that the problem is with GPL, in that it is not compatible with CDDL. FreeBSD or MacOS X doesn't seem to have a problem with the license.
While the GPL is a fantastic license, it isn't always nice, about who it plays with.
It IS theft, because that is a hypothetical sale that the record company lost. If you did not pay for it, then it IS theft. Steal all the music you want. But, please don't lie to yourself.
The RoR is a movement that depends on it's public perception. If Twitter abandons the RoR framework, then RoR could lose (if it hasn't already) a lot of steam, and appeal to the general public.
I really can't see the point of refusing to budge over such a trivial issue. I think this may have more to do with control and a sense of ownership, and less to do with an option to resize the text. From the outside point of view, this is just stupid.
