    How dare you question his credentials! He's worked for no less than TEN startups, and he's never seen code that's more than three months old before it gets sold off and the company shuts down. That's 10 samples, statistically significant compared to whatever silly anecdote you've got from working at some hidebound behemoth like SAP or IBM for a decade! These posers don't even count!

    he considers having "only" 30 M$ the same as being bankrupt

    Or he considers having 98 medallions which might be sellable for 30 million dollars if he's lucky to be the same as being bankrupt. Or what he did was take out a 98 million dollar loan with his medallions as collateral back when they were auctioning for a million dollars each, and now that they're worth a fraction of that, the back wants 68 million dollars back.

    Given that Cameron is arguing that we should take another step down the slope, your claim that their claim of a slippery slope is invalid is invalid.

    That explains everything! The guy in the riced up Honda whose engine sounds like he's doing 90 while he's in the next lane doing 10 alongside me is just trying to retain some tiny piece of freedom and power in the face of the soul crushing workday commute where he's truly as powerless and ineffectual as the rest of us.

    Every morning when I get in my car, my psychology says I'd rather be doing anything else.

    There's just one problem:responses. If I send data to B and B never sends data back, then that's clearly junk data. If I send data to B and B immediately sends data back then that's clearly junk data unless B is a hidden service. Apply this to every node B talks to (and the nodes they talk to) and it's readily apparent which ones are actually having a conversation.

  17. Re:Ok, they got ONE right... on Internet Sales Tax Bill Dead In Congress · · Score: 4, Insightful

    We'll just have to see. The Republicans are in charge of congress now, so we'll see if they're actually going to shrink the size of government or spend the next two years repeatedly trying to repeal obamacare another 40 times.

    I doubt they're going to try and end the war on [insert everything here] or roll back IRS harassment powers or end civil forfeiture or rein in the NSA or anything else that I'd really like the government to stop doing.

    You could, but you're throwing away the "prepared" half of "prepared statement". Totally fine if its a one-off query. Otherwise, expect your DBA to appear behind you, breathing down your neck with a red-hot poker 3 milliseconds after you put that in a loop from 1 to 10,000.
