Imagine an operating system that doesn't give control to your program, merely emulates a processor for you. It can quite happily bounds check stuff. Of course its performance would suck balls but that doesn't make it impossible.
What relational bods will tell you is that you are confusing your logical schema with your physical implementation of said schema. Logically (they say) you have a thing table, a things_that_have_started_but_not_finished table and a things_that_have_started_and_finished table.
Like most programmers, until the tools make that as easy as just sticking a null in, you probably won't care too much. Maybe the tool in the article helps in this direction, who can tell...

Eh, all of my income is taxed (well there is a small threshold below which the rate is 0%). Not all of it becomes tax.
The two sets of policies are inter-related. Think of the scale of change. If the odd factory was inefficient then the redundancies may be tolerable. What about if all the factories were in the same situation, and in fact two thirds of the population could be made redundant without affecting production.
In the long term, the redundancies could be argued as beneficial. The economy is suddenly more efficient, and people are freed up to take on new enterprises. Market forces will eventually sort it all out...
... There may well be some interim social problems though. Like a couple of million angry people.
You make disparaging comments about somebody's geekiness and yet you casually fling off a signature about powers of ten as if any geek would care...:-)
Converting the punch card based records of holes dug in the road in my local authority by utility companies to a digital replacement. Two weeks work experience, no chance of automating it.
Surprisingly I've worked in computing pretty much ever since I graduated.
My ISP has been offering something similar since at least 1996 (when I signed up). Every user gets the <username>.powernet.co.uk domain for their mail.

It is pretty easy to see how one army can become two.
Does he wear ear defenders?
You mean like retinas?
Are they the same exit polls that said John Kerry won?
Borrris has just been sacked from the shadow cabinet. The ruling party didn't give a damn about what he thought while he was in it.

Half a tennis court in size, and thirteen miles high.
Maybe a bit of reverse polish would be alright.

I think you have misunderstood the use of the word charged. Think large Van der Graaf generators and electric chairs.
I think their offering is structured to limit the power of the stockholders
Deomocratic Military? Surely an oxymoron.
The alternatives to Belguim would seem to be the Alps or the Maginot Line. Any thoughts on how a battle through the latter would have fared?
That sounds like fun until you start it for the first time, and it jumps out taking the engine block with it.
If you have a requirement that you might need to do something, just ignore it until someone stumps up the cash to do something about it.
I guess you meant miles when you said 120,000 years? Otherwise its not so impressive that 14% of the energy still went into manufacturing :-)
The change to the scheduler doesn't change the semantics of O_SYNC or fsync. Making sure your data got to disk is no different to what it was before.
The inherent belief that UI concepts are somehow simple can be blamed for a lot of the crap that is out there.
Newton, Galileo, Kepler, Dirac, Faraday, Planck, Kelvin, Maxwell and Einstein had testicles. So do I.

Not knowing where a dictionary can be found causes such monstrosities as monstrocities
