I work on a very large db2 system. Enterprise systems cost money because they work. There still seems to be this ignorant self absorbed counter culture which believes big iron and similar (anything about look what I can build in my basement) isn't cool so it cannot work.
Between radix, sparse, derived, encoded vector indexes I can pretty much serve up anything my partners want, whether they are native or foreign db2,jdbc or odbc connected. With the tools I have at my disposal I can analyze statements presented by developers to insure I have the access paths needed for their work and guide them to better data retrieval. I can tell if their choices result in full table scans, index probes, hash tables, rrn tables, etc. If I need support its a phone call away.
I do not care who my client is, data is my job. As such I need tools which are so reliable that only concerns I have are, just what is my customer doing and how can I make their request better. When they query 5tb tables and don't even notice a delay I think I am doing just fine.
Yeah, this will work. Suddenly we will have lots of suspicious people locked up and their items confiscated all because they are presumed guilty for simply being afraid or worried.
that I see coming from Congress the more worried I get. They seldom do what they say and seem to only enforce someone's right to do what they are doing to me.
Like being told they have X hours to hold my laptop during a border crossing, or codifying the ability of an airline to hold me hostage on a plane for X hours.
When they tell you they are defining you rights be very afraid.
Only a non-profit could take the risk of a new form factor that no one thought they would need or want. Laptops kept getting bigger and bigger. Who knew people would once again want to put up with tiny keys and bizarre resolutions. Actually there are many who bemoan some of the sacrifices now.
I am still awaiting the netbook craze to settle down into a form which the majority thinks is both very portable and easily accessible. Its getting close.
As for why N. wants a new device, because its far easier to get money for tech than books.
from the same camp which some of us are sure that there are only three Indy films.
I would prefer it to die, considering that since the second movie, what have we gotten? If it were not for a certain actresses connection to another cult fave who would have put up with the series? That was jump shark city.
hope. Granted it is only on the Republican side. Where grass roots Conservatives told their party elders to take a hike.
Still, it is hard to claim much freedom of choice when there are only two parties who can always get on the ballot, two parties who have done much to prevent other parties from having a chance. Where they could not do it by law they did by influence over media outlets.
In Obama's defense, promises made on the trail tend to fall by the wayside because reality sucks. The naivete of the Administration, let alone their voters, was astonishing. I think they both bought the hype. The problem of course is the world is harsh and all your "we love you love me" crap has no affect on the world stage.
Throw in a good dose of the Washington establishment (sorry - but his Chief of Staff was a dead give away the only change was the party who sat in the house) and how did anyone here honestly expect things to change? Then again I seem to recall a large number here who buy into Michael Moore's crap so no matter education or intelligence level snake oil sells.
As such, they try and pick a category which is nearly indefensible. Children work very well.
The trick is not allowing yourself to be intimidated by this type of tactics. Look at the debates over health care, stimulus, and such. Who do they put into the argument who doesn't have bearing on what you were addressing? Children, the poor, the elderly, or the "insert favored group here". All in an attempt to change the discussion just enough to devalue your stand.
Answer this: You need to increase taxes because your budget does not support all the money you pay out.
The problem: The citizens do not want more taxes and are vocal about it.
Solution : Threaten to close fire stations, police sub stations, lay off nurses in schools.
Guess what, I don't want to be beholden to my local, state, or Federal government, for all services because they use them as a club to condition our behavior. Atlanta did just this recently. Closed these stations and such instead of ditching cronies and dead weight. So instead of budgeting properly they did by threat; they even carried it out.
So, when people bring up the fire department analogy I like to show the real dark side of that.
Reality is fine as long as you do not offend the sensibilities of select group of people, that group shall not include religions defined as bad (read : western ) or groups defined as bad ( read : white ) or sex defined as bad ( read : male ) whose politics are bad ( read : conservatives )
Actually, we prefer to live in ignorance of how wars are fought when you truly want to win. We want it sanitized like TV
does this even offset a Administration which takes all the bad habits of the last and compounds them with super sized bills that no one gets to review and a good dose of intimidation against any who speak up?
I figure it this way. They need to pass a lot of downtime. Let them play a MMORPG. Then if your really creative you can let them farm gold and pay for the trip by selling the gold and characters they create.
Well I am kind of serious about the first part. Its going to take something highly addictive to keep them occupied during the trip there and back. Certain types of games would do it just fine. If you could find a way of combining learning into them all the better, but in some ways mindless entertainment may be key.
People will take on car payments, get a new cell, or something else, all before paying for their medical coverage. If the cost of coverage interferes with their ability to buy something they want they will declare the cost of coverage too high. Yet they see no problem fifty plus per month for a cell plan, much more for family plans, will probably have cable tv and one or two car payments.
For a large number of people it comes down to the fact they prefer to live in denial of the need and are just hoping if they hold out long enough someone else will pay for it, even if they tacitly acknowledge it will be through taxes that will increase and they will be paying it anyway.
In other words, they need to be forced to buy it. It just helps knowing others are forced as well.
and even later the Wing Commander series I am actually disappointed with many of today's games. Haven't found a space game that makes me feel like the explorer that Starflight did and Wing Commander was simply amazing in both story and game play.
What do we have now? Dozens of games with either space marines or commandos? Yawn.
that their signature remained secret, however no one should have to put up with an organized intimidation process which is the new method of choice. Seeing the pubic exercise their opinion has so offended certain elements out there. As such these same elements intend to use intimidation while expertly avoiding stepping over the line or just not getting caught to get any big names on their to back down or pay up.
In other words, the names should be protected based on what we know these elements will do with them. We cannot have the democratic process circumvented by threats and intimidation. I am all for treating these signatures like votes, off the public record. keep them private. If only to stop the new tactics.
This is similar to why Unions want Card Check, to intimidate their way into power. Freedom of expression is freedom from fear
but my friend, who has been deaf since childhood, does listen too music but from the point of how it feels. His tastes weren't very different from many others of the time period (album rock which has distinctive beats/etc).
Really didn't crank the base, but it was not loud enough that people around him would stop and point, let alone gesture.
I only asked after asking why he played his music so much and my level ignorance about deafness was high enough to ask.
but what really compounds the issue is that the Press is still enthralled with Obama and Co that they press on nothing. The Administration showed their hand, using their own people to bash news companies that report in a manner they don't like, while patronizing wholly sold out organizations like MSNBC.
What does that leave us with? A bunch of right wing talk show hosts? They are even easier to box than the traditional broadcasters because if they truly do become a threat they will diversified/regulated out of a job. Let alone the fact a few are just too grating to pay attention too.
We have gone from having watchdogs to having lap dogs and it shows. Hell it amazes me all the calls for information on this bill from people here who don't even blink at universal health care being crafted in just as much darkness.
Like my gas costs, where the old company that got forced to become just a carrier and could not sell gas to me suddenly is half my bill in summer. Now I have this nice maintenance and transport charge for the gas which is a flat fee +some if I go over some mystical limit that stresses the pipes I guess.
Meaning in summer half if not three fourths of my bill is paying the transport layer and very little goes to actual gas or the person who bills me. Yeah, I can't wait.
It sounds great, after all we get to beat on some company we don't have to face ourselves and demand their service or their property. Up until they stop upgrading it and we have to wait for the next "non regulated" service to come along until it gets "shared" and so and so on.
I would not agree. However in this day and age where we handicap our side in every war you point is true.
bombing a population into submission works, it broke the back of the Germans and Japanese. It is far cheaper in manpower expenditure on our side to demoralize an enemy than befriend them. Yet we choose the later and put more people into direct risk.
I really think we would get seriously hurt in any real conflict as it would take a large population center being affected before we could fight like we had to. Perhaps that is the problem, in many cases today we don't really need to be in the fight in the first place. We had it right after 9/11 but lost it after countless "what ifs" and such by press and pundit. We lost it because don't have the patience for the long run nor did we feel the risk after so many years. Bush lost the effectiveness of 9/11 with the "mission accomplished" crap and really for many that removed the "pressing need".
Drones are great tools of assassins. I guess if the new face of war needs an association that is negative I would give it that. Now we will just hunt and peck at the enemy while he does the same to us and prolong things for dozens of years. The public now wants wars akin to Star Trek episodes, done in an hour with the nitty gritty done in the last ten minutes and everyone patting themselves on the back about how good they were.

because I would select "Scary but True +1" for your post.
We could have the reverse too "Turn in your tinfoil hat -1"
it is obviously not his fault.
If anything his ancestors are at fault, or perhaps it was environmentally induced genetic damage caused by global warming?

The geek with computers or the gun with guns?
Eventually it might become more dangerous to go after the geeks, until then they are free check mark in the win column

We give them information about missile technology they give us information on wind mills.
Sounds fair to me.

One reason I like Blizzard is that they have kept us in the loop for a long time, even before it was simple
