Understanding SQL isn't a requirement to be considered a database.
In fact, spreadsheets are databases. Wikipedia refers to these as end-user databases.
You are confusing the term database with an RDBMS or Relational Database Management System (and even that doesn't necessarily depend on the use of SQL).
The only people I could see using this are people who aren't allowed to install / use a different web browser. And I highly doubt IT departments that don't allow third party browsers will allow this plugin to be installed. So this seems like a gigantic waste of time.
I have one, and honestly the noise isn't noticeable. Without anything else on (pc, ac, etc.) you can hear it, although I would definitely say it is certainly quiet enough. Also, I only turn it on when I actually want to watch tv or a movie, and in those situations I never notice it.
This could be very good for support people. Since Microsoft would have to keep supplying patches to XP, there will be no reason to even think about installing Windows 7. Thus allowing support people to the confidence of continued patches.
IN the spring of 2005 or rather the last semester of my junior year, I attended Leeds University, based in Leeds, England. It was a school actually quiet unlike my home university of Vanderbilt. This school contained 40,000 or so kids, about four times the size of our whole university and half of a small city in England, akin to large public colleges all over the states. I was a cs/math major who had already completed the math degree and wasn't very far from the cs requirement.
With that said, I would like to describe some of my time there as a cs student:
Every class that I needed to take had anywhere from 100-250 kids in it at the same time. And according to some random luck I happened to take 3 different courses for different year students. I took Intro to Databases (I rarely attended, and probably would have without.), Computer Graphics (I enjoyed), and a computer security class taught by a young professor who was teaching to a class about 100 strong. In addition I also took 3 other courses. Philosophy of Sex, a Japanese/samurai history course, and a class on the methods and ethics off community safety (CCTV, Asbos, etc.).
The structure of the classes were a lot different than the states. 2 times a week and either an hour and half or three hours each lecture. The computing classes that I took each had homework assignments usually weekly sometimes only 3 the whole semester.
The cs courses were taught the same way basically as any average large American school.
But this was a good thing because it allowed me the ability to visit my girlfriend at Oxford and travel to Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, London, Egypt, Greece, Italy, and finally Morocco. After which I spent the summer in South Africa. It was a great 8 months of my life and a very tough time as well. I was actually really happy to spend my semester in Europe, only regret that I didn't skip school more often.
This would be a violation of my fourth amendment rights. And any act against me which is unlawful will be seen as an attack on my personal liberties and therefore be met with swift retaliation.
So basically, when you use GPLed code, you have to agree to anything that gets put in there or risk losing the right to use that code? That's how licensing works (and M$ should know this better than anyone). You are bound to the provisions (as long as its lawful of course). If they didn't want to agree to the GPL, they shouldn't have used the code. Reinventing the wheel takes time, effort, and money. Microsoft decided against it, now they are stuck. Of course Microsoft can try and take the GPL to court to see if it's lawful or not, but that would be a long battle that would probably just ending up costing Microsoft a lot more money.
I mean, what if GPLv4 says you ought to reveal the context in which the GPLed code is being used? Assuming that the context isn't GPL'd as well, then this is an example of a provision that would be unlawful (and hence invalidate the license), so things like this won't be included in the license. A license can't apply to original works unless the author chooses it to.
Seems like a bad decision by MS and now they're complaining when caught with their hands stuck in the ooze in the OSS jar (I like that analogy, however inaccurate it may be) They are a big company and will most likely find a way out (probably by completely rewriting the code) but it's good to see that they are at least sweating it.
You think the goatse would stay up forever? It was a defacement, and I was just trying warn people, hence why I was moderated as informative rather than trolling.
And you would think that I would have been moderated as trolling if there hadn't been originally.
That's like asking, "what if they don't pay you enough to afford groceries or rent?". You'll find that there are probably similar answers to all these questions, and they usually involve some part of society (these days, the government) extending a helping hand to the impoverished for the necessities of life. It doesn't involve having the government nationalize the farms, for instance. Farms are already subsidized by the government... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agricultural_subsidie s
However, no this is a capitalist marketplace and things like foods and housing are leisures where many aren't necessary for survival: for instance one needn't shop at Whole Foods to survive when they can grow their own food... Also housing is based on property, and one doesn't necessarily have to be housed at all.
The problem is when you apply this logic to health care, which at its core means without it, you cannot survive. It is the responsibility of the government to ensure they provide equal opportunities for survival for anyone because everyone has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. To deny anyone medical care because of money is to deny the right of life.
Medical care isn't a leisure, and shouldn't be expected to be paid like one...
And don't confuse this with me saying that there is something wrong with private insurance, there is something wrong with free public insurance.
There are some things which should be free to citizens, education, police, speech, and health care. I am not making a case for welfare. I am making a case for basic human rights which a democratic government of the people should provide for the people.
Great, you can afford it. However if you were in a low paying job, where there is little chance you would get the same kind of insurance plan (or even being insured at all), then what?
Whats the difference between health and other things the government subsidizes like safety? After all aren't they the same inherently? How can you put a price on health, honestly?
You think your physician will become poor simply because the government pays his salary? I agree he might not get paid as much, so he might not be able to afford the Ferrari, he'll have to settle for a BMW... It's a hard life being a doctor, and not being able to afford your supercars...
Give me a break, your arguments are as flawed as someone without an illness. Come back when you experience this shit first hand.
You're right, I should have linked to an livejournal entry to sway the poster.
My point is simply this: If Moore's documentary and facts are so screwy, there would be at least a few reputable sources claiming this as well, but Loder's largely unsupported (by the journalistic community) paint a much different picture.
If you are logical, then please reexamine the "logic" of your post.
You claim that the extremely high costs can be alleviated by the inability to sue a doctor who has caused harm through malpractice. This amounts to essentially a claim that the reason someone has to pay 12,000 to attach a ring finger and 60,000 to attach a middle finger is because they are covering their asses in case they get sued???
Am I hearing this correctly?
The reason people sue is because they have suffered damage, and seek compensation. This goes for any field. The monetary compensation would be less however if the cost to fix the damage wasn't so high. So why not fix the real problem at the source? Why should doctors get immunity from having to pay for the consequences of their actions?

How about not mentioning the joke at all? Or would that be joke discrimination?

So I don't have this problem.
It's also nice because I don't like to wear hats indoors.

I have been with them for a few months, and their interface's ease of use, and the level of support they provide are just what I was looking for.
Ahh yes, another blog advertisement from "whurley", the man who assumes everyone knows his name, when no one actually does.
Any bets on who the AC that posted the story was?
I would prefer to call our government a carnival. Moreover a 'tard carnival.

don't blame him, your initial description was rather vague, much like the article...

you mean that one?
If studios were provided on all brands it would be better for the consumer.
The EU is only trying to protect the consumer here, why would any consumer be against that?
There was when I clicked the link, jackass.

Interesting, so do you pay for your medication out of your own pocket without the use of your insurance?
