    So, prosecute me. Fact is we're all sitting on our arses whining about this and that when there are a lot more damaging things going on besides the FBI trampling on our pseudo-"rights".

    Me too... while you're all bitchin about how enemy combatants being held that are most likely murders, filled with hate, a child dies--of starvation--in Africa.

    Go chew on that.

    Whatever. I'd just let them in and give them a drink, because hey, they're not mindless drones .. they're doing a job. And, I'm not doing anything illegal.

    You people need to get out and just cool off a little while. Go, like, hiking up in the mountains for awhile ... because ... you can!

    Oracle developers will be working on Oracle software.

    Databases usually tax an operating system quite well; I'm certain there is opportunity for collaboration in improvements to Linux, the kernel, and possible improvements to user-space utilities which will go along way to improving every distro out there.

  9. HR Requirements in Asia on Age Discrimination, Indian-Style · · Score: 1

    You think Age is bad? If you can read Chinese, have a looksy at the job listings in the newspaper here.

    Requirements I've seen:

    * Woman
    * Man
    * Age range
    * Pretty
    * Weight restrictions
    * Skin color (tone, really)
    * etc.

    Not all in one job, but scattered between different areas.

  15. Re:open source databases?? on Security Holes in CVS and Subversion Found · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Hasn't been true for a long time. Now CVS reads/writes directly, with no RCS process active.

    Sorry, meant to say RCS format plain text files.

    But even if that were still the case, saying "CVS is a database" is like "airplanes are wings".

    Database

    I do not agree with you. Just like I wouldn't agree if you said filesystems weren't databases. For crying out load, my blog is a database!

    CVS and its pudgy cousin Subversion are not databases.

    CVS uses RCS as a back-end store. Subversion uses Berkley DB as a back-end store.

  25. Re:Kinda like the U.S. on Novell Sued Microsoft Through Caldera? · · Score: 1

    It's easy, nearly every Chinese dynasty change-over went along with bloodshed, and treacherous acts. Yong zhen in the Qing dynasty is one example.

    I can't remember the name of the dynasty, but there was once a group of brothers that were all potentially destined to be the next Huang Di (emperor). The youngest of the brothers created a cunning plan that brought all of them together in a room where a hired group mercenaries slaughtered them. The youngest subsequently became the emperor.

    Let's face it, America is probably one of the longest running nations with power transitions that do not involve bloodshed. People are jealous; like crabs, the other nations will pull hard on the leg of America as it tries to crawl out of the bucket.
