If you're old enough and healthy enough to break someone's wrist, I don't see why you should object to having someone's hand on your crotch.
Granted, I haven't had a pat down, and I understand the objections for children, elderly, and disabled. But aside from that, I just don't see the big deal. Yes, it's invasive, and not quite constitutional. But I prefer my plane to be bomb-free.
That being said, it's time for the powers that be to come up with a new idea. The backscatter X-Rays have reportedly started causing cancer in TSA employees (duh... did nobody see that coming, really??), so that's clearly not an option.
There's nothing wrong with MySQL, but Facebook's code has to be written efficiently. When you're adding lots of new features, it's easy to outgrow the limitations of the original design.
Their site is slow and cumbersome, but I've never actually had any problems. I wouldn't mind switching to DynDNS, but I can't afford them for 30 domains.
I hate their web site because it's slow and cumbersome. But their prices are great, the DNS is free and reliable, and I trust them not to go out of business.
Because sometimes a DNS server will have a bad record in its cache, preventing access to a site. If the DNS server is yours, you can clear it. It's happened to me several times using different servers.
I know governments always blow projects out of proportion. But I'm pretty sure I could design and implement a payroll system of any size for less than $5 million. This is either a case of a software company that doesn't know how to manage people, or a government that doesn't know what they want. The latter shouldn't be a problem if the software company knows what they're doing.
Did someone come to his house to collect the Xbox? Because I have an old workstation (with a cast iron chassis and case) and 21" CRT here that I'd like to get rid of, but I can barely lift them.
Don't you mean watching for traffic from a machine that you know is infected? I can almost see ISPs or researchers running infected machines just to see who those machines talk to.
That depends on the neighborhood. There are some places where you don't stop unless someone is lying in the middle of the road, and even then you might want to drive around them.
Ayn Rand is often misquoted as saying that you shouldn't help people. What she actually said was that you shouldn't be forced or guilted into helping people.
I didn't think there was such a thing as chewing up more bandwidth when it comes to VOIP. That is, if I feed it a signal that doesn't compress well, wouldn't it have to degrade the signal in a way that does compress well?

If the server was down, chances are the command prompt wasn't working. That's a hardware problem that shouldn't happen very often, but it does.
MySQL is light years beyond Access. MySQL programmers consider Oracle to be a waste of money.

Yes, but it's expensive to install out in the country where the population density is so low.
no, honestly, this is dumb. the terrorists have won.
Actually, if anything, this is why the terrorists aren't winning. Sad, yes, but welcome to the 21st century.

Or rather, just reduce spending until the debt goes away. Whatever you do, don't raise my taxes, because the economy isn't my problem.
What rubber checks? That doesn't start until Aug 2, and you can think the GOP for that.
Yeah, you do have to be careful what you agree to when you check out.

That was going to be my suggestion.

if they're "raising" 1B ... Does anybody know what the estimated market cap will be?
$1 billion, by definition, right? At least until the trading begins.
A few months? That sounds like a problem to me.
Denault and Bell were charged with were charged with taking kickbacks, wire fraud and money laundering.
Okay, that should have been in the summary. It was a case of money siphoning, not just mismanagement. But still:
Some 71 consultants on the project will be let go, according to the agreement. Another 83 will be kept
83 consultants? Come on.

I recommend a VPS or a dedicated server. I'd venture to say that 99% of people can either afford the expense, or can live with the ISP's mail server.
Oh, right. Sorry. By "that kind of traffic", you meant p2p, not virus.

without trust, there is only suspicion and paranoia, and I don't really want to live in a world where paranoia rules anyway.
Agreed.

I think it was close enough. :)
