  1. Re:Not surprising at all. on Apple Accused of Deleting Songs From iPods Without Users' Knowledge · · Score: 5, Interesting

    How is it unsubstantiated when it is true and has been proven? I rsync my iTunes drive to a remote server every night so I see email reports every day with a list of my music files that Apple deletes. The last delete happened Monday night:

    deleting iTunes/The Ramones/Mania/30 Rock 'n' Roll High School.mp3
    deleting iTunes/The Ramones/Mania/29 Indian Giver.mp3
    deleting iTunes/The Ramones/Mania/28 The KKK Took My Baby Away.mp3
    deleting iTunes/The Ramones/Mania/27 I Just Wanna Have Something To Do.mp3
    deleting iTunes/The Ramones/Mania/26 Chinese Rock.mp3
    deleting iTunes/The Ramones/Mania/25 We Want The Airwaves.mp3 ...

    And so on. Apple decided to delete every Ramones song from iTunes. That is why people hate them. Apple considers us subhuman and has no respect for us or our property.

    She didn't win a primary. She was selected by McCain just as Bush Jr was selected by the SCOTUS. The Republicans had no choice but to accept the retard that the warmonger put on his ticket. He didn't want to win so he made sure that the better man would earn nearly 85% of the vote. Of course with Republican voter fraud, that number was less than 50%, but Democrats always need to get nearly every vote to overcome the Republican fraud since the Republicans still control the judicial branch and the voting counting branch. That is their way.

    Sounds like what mint.com was doing. Bank of America gave them information including account numbers, names, and email addresses. mint.com then created accounts for those people without their permission. I had never heard of mint.com when they sent an email to me with the last few digits of my BoA account and the balance. Later they added information with Chase so they sent an email with my credit card balance. I had never use mint.com, but they created an account with my private information. They are scumbags even worse than these dating sites.

  15. Re:Analytics + mssql = fail on Ask Slashdot: Choosing a Data Warehouse Server System? · · Score: 0

    Like Oracle, READ COMMITTED is the default transaction isolation setting for Microsoft SQL so if this is the problem, it is because they strangely changed the default.

    FYI, for data warehouse work, MySQL does pretty darn well if you relax the transaction isolation level. By default, InnoDB uses a stronger transaction isolation than either Oracle or Microsoft. You can change it with this command:

    SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ COMMITTED

    InnoDB defaults to REPEATABLE READ which while very nice (and nicer than Oracle's READ COMMITTED), but it is too high for either large tables or for high loads.

    For our data warehouse with several billion row tables that are queried on every user login to do correlations between product purchases and views in order to recommend other products, changing that setting reduced the time it took to login from about three seconds down to less than 200 milliseconds. There's a good reason Oracle and Microsoft default to a looser transaction isolation setting in order to try to make their databases appear more performant.

    It is the only reasonable state in the country. Just look at this morning where the NRA is telling owners of guns with certain cosmetic features to lie and claim they stole the rifle if it is worth less than $950 and they are caught with it. The punishment for stealing the rifle is less than the punishment for owning it. Punishing rifle owners, as the voters decided on Tuesday, more than you do people that steal rifles is the only way we're going to reduce the number of guns. CA showed again that they have the best voters in this country.

  18. Re:Kansas City - not the best market to look at on Gigabit Internet Connections Make Property Values Rise · · Score: -1

    Good point. Here in Seattle, home prices keep rising even though in much of the city, dial-up is the only connectivity option. Comcast was given the monopoly, and they do not offer service to much of the city. Most of the phone lines are fifty or more years old so DSL is not an option for about 1/4 of the city. Where I live, I have 576 kbps DSL, and I have the fastest connection out of any of my friends. Most of my coworkers are still on dial-up or ISDN. Despite the extremely slow Internet connectivity options, the average price of a home in my neighborhood has increased by almost 75% since 2009. Rents have more than doubled since I moved to my current place in 2005.

    > many people trained in using AED's

    Do you really have to be trained? I thought that was the point of the automatic part? They have instructions. I saw an untrained man save a woman's life in a local mall. The AED had a clear and easy to read instruction manual with the instructions to cut away a bra because they often have metal underwires and can start fires and a pair of scissors. The man use the scissors to cut open the woman's blouse and bra, which is why he was arrested after EMTs took the unconscious woman away. I think she survived, but the AED didn't help her. Last I heard, the man was still fighting several charges. He should have had enough sense to not follow the AED instructions wrt the bra.
