If you want something that complies with the relational model and relational theory, skip SQL and go directly to IBM DB2 and RPG. SQL as you say is a kludge. DB2 as a language so much reminds me of assembler I tend to liken it to opcode for databases. As you may tell, I'm a big IBM'er.
Who care what people of the past would think. We are not there anymore. We've learned and progressed since then. I tried to get through the article, but just couldn't. I gave up about half way through, because I couldn't give a rat's arse. Not My Problem.
The way I vote, I usually am in the minority. I accept the democratic process.
Ethnic minorities already account for a larger percentage by capita of voters in Canada than the white majority. Perhaps they just appreciate the freedom more. Canada welcome new immigrants all the time. Even Americans.:)
You take a city of about 1 million people. You divide it up into 10 ridings of about 100,000 people. One person, one vote. The only consideration is population density to ensure you get as close to 100,000 as is reasonable. How tough is that?
This may sound cold, but we aren't interested in minorities at election time. We are interested in "Registered Canadian Voters" without respect to politics, ethnicity, religion etc. If anyone considers being completely neutral as racist, I think they may be a little too full of themselves.
Minorities are just that. A democracy is based on the will of the majority being forced on the minority. Minorities lose. That's the way it is.
The whole question is how you divide up the people into 100,000 groups.
Well, Anonymous Fucktard, you point at a person, you make sure they are breathing and count "1". And then you pick a different person that is also breathing, and count "2". But you're American, so you won't get up to 21 unless you're naked. We stop when we reach 100,000 *people* (thanks for actually reading my post) and call that a 'riding'. Then candidates put their names forward, and those 100,000 *people* vote for those candidates.
Politics and political affiliations do not enter into it.
New to Mandrake, but old to RH. I just edited the.conf files the hard way, installed linuxconf and was OK for a while. I really like the desktop on the workstation as compared to RH 9.
I'll have to try this webmin thing of which you speak. Thanks!
Hear hear! I tried Mandrake 9.1 for the first time, to set up a workstation and a server. The workstation bangs away at my squid proxy so often that the proxy reports active system attacks. The server is hung off then net directly, but can't do anything with the server. I chose static IP's, and there was no way to set up DNS from the GUI!
The desktop is smooth, but usability leaves a little to be desired.
"This went on in the 1950s and nothing bad happened why should you care now?"
And what did he think the people in the 60's were demonstrating about? All the BS that happened in the 50's. What's going to happen in 10 years? See my.sig.

How much more fair do you want?

I always thought Norwegian Moose got more tired when they drink. Must be coffee drinks.
Waiter! Sense of humour for user 577120!
Except Pat Buchannan. He can stay.
Bring pretzels and peanuts. We've got the beer.

Subtle difference, Quebecois live in Canada, but do not consider themselves Canadian. Canadians wouldn't do that to children.
He reads it on the display in front of him that R2 is text messaging him on. Hello! :)
Still my favorite joke.
No, I'm a frayed knot.
