"a query or table can cause me rewriting code in every application"
You actually bring up a good point though. Who does the Database maintenance? In my small shop, if I make a change to a query/table, I need to go back and re-write every stored procedure that is affected. MSSQL does not provide any functionality (to my knowledge) that allows me to search through all SP's in particular DB (DBA is part time). Working in a small shop, I'm still undecided about our use of SPs. I've inherited most of the work, but most of my new development I've only used SP for very complicated queries. I've started abstracting the queries to a Data access layer instead.
Certainly....No problem. This is actually quite a common problem with laptops. They tend not to get enough oxygen, because of their highly energetic oxidation reaction with the new Pentium chips. The oxidation reactions, causes the processor to become coated with a copper residue. This causes the computer to often give out weird messages and slow down. In order to fix it, the daughter needs to get a full cup of Mineral Spirits and quickly pour it through the keyboard. She needs to simultaneously smell the keyboard. The cleaning will commence immediately and smell like... uhm...burnt toast.
You're completely right. They are simply the tools to get the job done right. You don't need an assembly plant to make a key, nor would you use a weedwacker to mow a farm. I use Perl regularly for small automated/scripting tasks, and either (GASP) VB or C# for other larger scale projects that require to be well engineered.
Right, but wasn't the PS2 considered a military weapon by Japan (mostly for marketing) because of its image capacities? Sorry, technology is already out of the bag...its how you use it that counts.
I really really really was looking forward to Doom3, but not at the expense of almost a new computer. I've got a 2.4gig, 512meg, TI4200 vid card...99% of what I use it for, my computer screams. I don't think that that 1% (ie. Doom3) is going to push me to upgrade.
I think you're dead on...There are still tons of companies running VB/MS C++ programs on the good ol' win95/98/NT4 boxes (mine being one of them). The cost of rewritting the code would be to prohibitive as would a complete office upgrade. If I could through all of them on a SUSE (or any Linux flavor), we would run Linux without a blink of the eye. Cmon WINE!
You're completely right on target! That's why I sent out an email to friends and family to stop using the program that has the "Blue 'E' logo. I told them that by using that product, some people could steal their banking information. I also mentioned, that the blue e product, has a history of problems, allowing hackers to take their sensitive information (Like the funny citibank commercial).
I then mentioned that, to be more secure, I use a product similar to the blue "e" product, called Firefox. I provided simple instructions to download and install it.
I've found that you need to lower the technical level of the email, so that people can understand the true problem.
If they were on his property, don't they need a warrant anyway?
It would seem to be a fairly easy case to try for the Man mowing the lawn. It was obvious what the noise disturbance was and it was not against the law. Since there was no crime being committed nor any suspicion of crime, that would be simple police harrassment. Would also be interesting to see what happens when the originator of the complaint gets linked to the Captain.

Now I can trade in my itchy/uncomfortable tin foil hat, with a paper one! Now I will be the cool one wearing a crown-like the ones from Burger King!
Not the HAMMER! God NO! What will they think of next???
Someone have another picture?
type of hardware. Do they at least have a cool case mod? I'm really not quite sure what the point of this was?
hehe..Yeah, I'll see your "shyster" and raise you an "As.s.Clown"
Man, this stuff is getting ridiculous. No-one has a backbone anymore. People call him names and he sues them. Wonderful use of our judicial system.

So what..You callin me a Windows Weenie? HuH? HuH?
Let's take this outside!

so I can concentrate on my work.
Like posting on Slashdot?
inconvenience as few people as possible meaning ..
So every Middle-Eastern LOOKING male should be profiled? Of what country? What about Americans?
Letme guess you aren't of Middle-Eastern descent? Must be easy then, to come up with that profiling scheme.
So? Open up your firewall, post your IP address here on Slashdot. We'll make sure you get your boxen fairly counted...Yeah...

Rasputan, or as his friends liked to call him: "Tri-pod".
It would be funny if they had a thought bubble coming from that lady's head: "I wonder if rigamortis.....Hmmmmmmmmmm".

Go towards the blue screen! Its peaceful there! Go towards the blue screen!
*Ducks*.
I wouldn't be to concerned if I where you. Here's what they would look like.
Stupid question, but very interesting post.
