"My fair share?" 140 characters ALL for simple statement of fact. Religions get zero characters. Agnosticism gets zero characters as well.
Let's say he tweets this in his official capacity:
I just gave the go ahead to Corrections Director to proceed with Gardner's execution. BTW 1-800-MATTRESS has all the mattresses you need.
Should another mattress place feel treated fairly just because the majority of the tweet wasn't about mattresses at all? This would be considered corruption.
What about this?
I just gave the go ahead to Corrections Director to proceed with Gardner's execution. BTW use 1-800-MATTRESS if U think mattresses exist.
WTF? This guy works for the people of the State of Utah in an official civic capacity! He's on the taxpayer dole and he's spending his time tweeting religiously-biased shit using public resources! Fifty whole characters of religious bias! Yes I counted them and got more and more pissed at each one!
What if *I* were the Attorney General of Utah, and I twote, "May the Flying Spaghetti Monster grant him the mercy he denied his victims"? I'd catch hell for that! But it would certainly be as valid a tweet as for any other religion. Although 40% of us are agnostic, so still unacceptable! As a taxpaying atheist, I should get my fair share of those 140 characters too!
Uh, that's different. Michael Richards did something that should have struck anyone at the time as being impossible to live down. My alt.drugs post wasn't stupid (except for being in alt.drugs), not even interesting. I warned people about the low LD-50 of an over-the-counter medicine. (Lots of people now seem to think "LD-50" is a roofie or something.)
Google displays USENET posts that go back to 1981, when the future of the Internet was unforeseen by anyone. Even Nostradamus was posting pictures of his penis on the alt.binaries groups back then. None of the posts you see Google pulling up would have been written if their authors knew that Google would be proudly showing them to everyone 20, 30 years later whenever anyone searches for your name.
I wrote a post to alt.drugs one night when I was in college in 1990. I started getting flak about it five or six years ago from one relative after another (starting with my mother) as they got on the Internet and did searches for my name. No matter what I accomplish in life, my alt.drugs post from 20 years ago stubbornly remains on the first page of Google results.
The top 5% pay 60% only in that each additional dollar they earn above a certain point gets taxed at that rate. In general every n-th dollar you make is taxed at the same rate that everyone pays on their n-th dollar. A rich person can't simply multiply his entire income by 0.6 to get his tax liability.
People like to scream that progressive rates aren't fair, etc. But it's totally fair to the taxpayers involved. What it isn't fair to, is each individual dollar in income. If the ultimate goal is being fair to individual dollars, treating all the dollars you earn fairly and equitably, then a flat tax would suffice. But being fair to dollars isn't the point.
BTW I clicked on your lobbyist anti-tax think-tank link, and lost several minutes I'll never get back.
If you taxed every working man, and every investor at 99%, and taxed all corporations at 99% of gross profits - you STILL wouldn't have enough money to feed and clothe and shelter the worthless to the standards that they demand.
Help me out here. What standards are "the worthless" currently demanding?
If you're running 10.5 Leopard, Apple sells an upgrade to 10.6 Snow Leopard for $30 (US). If you're running 10.4 Tiger, the same upgrade CD works, but Apple tells you to shell out $169 for a "Mac Box" containing Snow Leopard plus unwanted copies of iLife and iWork. Apple does have a tendency to push combos.
to use a project launch as leverage is to show that you're manipulative and not a team player.
Agreed. Always use project launches to demonstrate a lack of team playing. Walking out the door three days before a release really gets the point across.
In theory it could be implemented either as "plug then parse" or "parse then plug", but realistically the "parse then plug" approach is going to appeal much more to a database writer- who only cares about translating the query into the correct internal data structures with pointers to different parameters in the correct places. (Whether they point at literals, or subqueries, or arrays, or are still NULL waiting for their parameter settings, or whatever.)
I'm not sure what the payoff would be in doing it the other way. A "plug then parse" approach would be suicidal in the case of an IN clause or an embedded query. The parser could encounter a query string bigger than the database itself. (This obviously isn't a problem with the manually constructed queries everyone is talking about, but it would become a huge mess.) And of course there could be a SQL injection attack hiding in there anywhere, and detecting it wouldn't be trivial.
I realised that the PARAM1 = "hamburger" bit was prone to exactly the same problem!
No it isn't; the SQL is parsed before it looks at the hamburger. It doesn't blindly plug parameter values into the query string and then parse the resulting SQL.
The court subpoenaed my hard drive and RIAA lawyers representing the KGB found a compressed audio file of the station's entire broadcast history in my Kazaa folder.
I tell everybody how bad the AT&T coverage is near Apple headquarters and no one believes me.
I live 3 miles NE of them. My last job was 2 miles SW. There is no AT&T coverage, in either place, for anybody. Phone calls last 30 seconds and are dropped unless you quickly run outside and find a hilltop.
What's hilarious is seeing snooty iphone owners in Silicon Valley rush outside all the time whenever their iphones ring. They dart down the stairs and don't even answer until they're almost out into the parking lot. I think at Apple they have their own five watt cell tower next to Steve Jobs's office and when their phone rings they run inside.

I mistook you for one of the flower children that always manages to come out and find sympathy for a murderer
No one has "sympathy for a murderer", although I'd personally prefer that Ronnie be tortured to death by a cellmate whom I didn't vote for.

...and then the rug of reality will be pulled out from us.
That's a harsh way of putting it. You'll just be running your stuff in a VM on a Windows laptop, that's all.
Are you the only person with your name?
Yep. Plus, I'm famous.

Simply because you or I cannot find an immediate use for something does not mean that it is not useful.
When your useful something is about to explode any picosecond, you'd better find an immediate use quick.

Be sure to ask him if you're healthy enough to have sex.
(Then watch as he holds his chin, turns his head sideways a bit, and squints at you for a few seconds.)
I used to be involved in the porn business (no, I didn't fuck any girls on camera but I did get a blowjob now and then).
Did you get paid fairly once your job responsibilities spiraled?
I'll probably get laughed at for this, but I thought I'd use this opportunity to get some advice, on something that I have been wondering about lately
...has anyone seen my red stapler?
Monotype is a corporate standard across the entire company called you.
I have a hot date with Jennifer Aniston tonight and can offer hi def video feeds from my eye for $9.95!

Are you trying to imply that being a voter would have any relevance here?
Wow... God is in on this too.
