It becomes painfully obvious when you watch the "true crime" shows on A&E. I'm not one to defend the police, but I'm sure not going to defend a guy who cites "true crime" shows on A&E.

MySQL Cookbook
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
I love the Perl Cookbook, nearly the single most useful book I own. I recently started working on some Perl/MySQL stuff again about a month ago, so I bought this book. I have not found it as useful. Now, this may be because I'm not a MySQL power user, I poke at it about once a year, just infrequently enough that I have to relearn everything again-- but you'd think this would be exactly the book I need.
There's very little on subselects-- in fact, in trying to provide a page count, I can't find subselect in the index, even under select. The JOIN information is scattered through a few related recipes and is okay, but just okay. I had a pretty complicated (for me) SELECT statement I was trying to do, a LEFT JOIN with some WHERE information and a subselect with some other stuff...I don't recall the specifics, but the book was only moderately helpful, I wound up just trial and erroring my way through until it did what I wanted. There is some general management info, but no password recovery? Everytime I have to touch MySQL, step number one for me is typically password recovery, as I've forgotten everything since the last time.
It's a big book, and seems to cover a lot of ground (for example, about 70 pages of recipes relating to dates), so I'm sure there's some good in here. With the Perl Cookbook, I can't say that I've used the whole thing, but there are particular sections that I return to again and again (custom sorting on hash keys, etc...) The MySQL Cookbook just doesn't seem to be syncing up with my problems the way the Perl Cookbook does. I use more Perl than MySQL, though, so maybe it would do better if you knew MySQL in more depth than I do. It may be a problem with my limitations, but then again, I would have thought a Cookbook would be exactly the book to help.
will plot your downfall you sonofabitch and you won't know what hit you...
IT majors were still pompous arrogant assholes.
People like you are the first ones up against the wall when the revolution comes. Sir, step away from the keyboard...
That's the whole point. I would prefer a clear and informative website rather than someone elses interpretation of 'beautiful', because we all know beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That's exactly why WoW send Blizzard into Bankruptcy and everybody plays Nethack now.
I lost all respect for Libertarians after I heard one complain about how his town wouldn't plow his private drive. I lost all respect for Mexicans after I saw one steal a bike. Boy, that sounds intelligent, doesn't it?
Wow, that's awesome! Now when you get DDoSed and your power suddenly spikes above the level it's been the last three years, you start popping breakers!

I tried to sign up for the free service, and just to be sure I wasn't charged, I used a junk CC number. Sure enough, I got the following message today:

I have heard CSS called many things, but never a godsend.
Which would probably be totally true HAD THE ARTICLE NOT SPECIFICALLY STATED that you could use your phone FREE at Starbucks T-Mobile hotspots!
Welcome to modern America.
They could have bought the domain and captured all e-mail coming to it praying to Jesus something like this would happen.
Lose no profits!
I recently bought a Lenovo recently partly because they still offered XP.
Run!

Better stock up while you stil can!!!!

There's a world of other stuff out there other than 40k. Many are cheaper. Start looking here.
Heck yeah!

I've neven even seen the Wizard of Yendor in 14 years. Does it really matter how smart his AI is? My own I seems pretty low...
You choke on a sewer rat--
You die... Pakka Pakka comes and takes all your possessions.
Ow! Hey! Leggo a me!
No, YOU are the Asshat, Asshat! ;-)
