    Yeah... I totally called it. Racist to a T. That serial number is confidentia (like a SSN).

    And you still didn't admit that you were WRONG and that his name WAS on it. Thus proving the report that FOX news viewers ARE less informed.

    And yeah I jump to a racist conclusion because it is far more plausible than a conspiracy theory over 45 years involving hundreds of people, the state of Hawaii, and the federal government.

    tell you what genius, he showed a birth certificate and the state of Hawaii (republicans by the way), his opponent, the hospital and others stated it was valid over and over. His birth notice was even on record on MICROFISCH in the local paper in Hawaii.

    You come up with the same crap in Kenya or whatever country you say he's from or shut the fuck up. Because until then, your a fucking racist talking out your ass.

    Yes,,, he had the key to do that for over 45 years??? oh wait, no he did't. And regardless, he can't shut people up from over 45 years of his past if this were false. And the state and government agencies prior to the election vouched to the accuracy due to conspiracy nuts throwing this out there during the entire election. So regardless of 8 months of proving it during the election with state and government officials vouching to the validity (state of Hawaii... duh), and the fact that he would have to cover up over 45 years of evidence of people knowing something contrary and hushing them ALL up, the only likely reason anyone could be trying to come up with a reason to think this is a even more sickening and obvious reason...

    racism. Stand proud in your bedsheet.

    Yes because we all know that only gullible people can discern between fact and fiction whereas those who are not gullible cannot?? How is that logic working for you?

    And for that matter how are the state, the hospital and government all able to hush people since his BIRTH and get them ALL to cooperate for the last 45 years? EVERY SINGLE ONE!!! LOL!

    Thats the thing about conspiracy theories... you have to believe that every single person can pull it all off together when we all know that people are incompetent and they continually screw up. How did he pull this off for 45 years if this is FALSE and get hundreds of government and state officials to go along with it not to mention everyone who every knew him. Its preposterous and people like you who pose this are laughable buffoons! Oops... typo. I meant laughable BABOONS!

    Some sound arguments have been made that the earth is flat too. Does it make them any less ridiculous? Does it mean that we should start actually acting like those flat earth theories are 'reasonable' and be teaching them in schools? Should we be pandering to the blathering idiots who sit on this lunatic fringe and rant like madmen?

    Well only if they only they own media conglomerate apparently. Theories are only that unless their is scientific method to back them up. Until then it is conspiracy theory and voodoo in which case you'd have better luck proving it by throwing bones before a pregnant frog on a full moon; I believe this is how Bill O'Reilly chooses what to talk about.

  8. Re:What limitations are you running into? on Horizontal Scaling of SQL Databases? · · Score: 1

    Well as someone who was hesitant about NOSQL, I've learned some of the benefits. NATURALLY, you want to use it in coordination with an RDBMS but it allows for caching of large 'one-off' datasets.

    Often I want the speed of the database but don't want to index large strings (as they slow down a query). NOSQL allows one to move those large datasets out of the RDBMS but still maintain the relationship in the RDBMS.

  9. Re:Drupal Drupal ... Drupal. wft is Drupal? on Drupal 7 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    nail on head. I tried to help[ a site that was getting thousands of hits a day but had built their entire siter on Drupal with it's homemade version of ORM. They needed lots of many-to-many tables and everytime you do that in a NORMAL RDBMS, you only need two tables and one joining table. But in Drupal's infinite Wisdom, it creates 5 tables to do the same thing and similar situations with one to many. Over time your database becomes a nightmarish solution to manage and is sluggish and slow due to a poorly automated solution rather than a DBA having creating a structured relational DB.

    Hell even Hibernate is a million times better than that mess. Makes you wants to cram a espresso steamer up a Drupal developers nose and foam whats left of their brains. Yes I need my coffee and yes I'm from Seattle.

    Wow. Your viloent reaction shows your own biase. I think the phrase' one who has a hammer sees every problem as a nail' best applies to you. i gave three separate scenarios to help the individual and Open source can be mixed and matched to lower costs. As always, Open Source is usually always a great answer in helping to lower costs regardless of propoganda from proprietary vendors.

    This is why most startups choose to go with open source and continue along that route even after becoming successful; it is cheap, scalable and sustainable. This is not to say Microsoft does not also have a place if you WISH it to but to deny that there are alternatives that work equally well when Microsoft accepts that there are alternatives and has even embraced them on their own campus flys in the face of what even Microsoft suggests and has iterated.

    I believe Microsofts EULA states you cannot transfer off that machine. And while with a good tech team, you can upgrade disk, GPUs, CPUs and memory quite easily. But a change in the motherboard or the case will often be cheaper to buy a computer from a supplier since they purchase in bulk and TEST alot better than you can.

    Now, on the other side of the spectrum, open source has licenses that transfer to all systems, can interface with all Microsoft and Mac products (if the IT team on the other side knows how to properly configure for them). Need to interface with Ofice, use OpenOffice (still there are issues with the latest versions of Microsoft Office docs such as DOCX and XLSX). You can access calendaring and mail via the web or equivalent Linux mail tools that interface with Exchange servers. And for those who still need to use Windows, you can emulate it via virtualization without having to move to new equipment.

    A third option would be to keep these machines all as 'thin clients' and move everything to a served architecture where they access all their applications from a central server/cloud/or clustered environment.

  19. Re:Umm on Why Warriors, Not Geeks, Run US Cyber Command Posts · · Score: 1

    Well, why not train the warriors to understand all the geeky details?

    It takes longer to give technical skills to a non-technical person that to teach a technical person how to read data. You are talking months/years (depending on the systems) vs hrs/days. An already fluent technical person can be training to read data faster than getting a non-technical person trained on technical systems.

    HOWEVER... this is strictly a more traditional view not taking into consideration GUI based systems that don't require technical know-how. Most Microsoft admins I have come across in my jobs can't tell me what SSH is, how to config an SSL cert or even the encryption type they are using though they use them on a daily basis.

    So in GUI based systems, the military does not see 'deeper' technical skills as being all that necessary. This naturally is to their inevitable detriment as China and other countries understand that deeper knowledge of technology is how to infiltrate.
