I haven't looked into MySQL but I see "basically an infinite loop" and "20K+ entries" and cringe.
20K is no huge number in my book. Being able to run a table scan (you can't always just put an index) should not throw you for a reboot, hell especially on a P4 box. I'm running relatively older hardware (P3 xeons) and I know of a few places I'm doing table scans on subsets of indexes that have upwards of a million records that return in under a few seconds.
maybe there is something insightful in there (redundant imo) but I tend to stop at "you idiots" since its usually a good hint that the post is flaimbait.. being moderated as such doesn't help. personally I don't give slashdot moderations much weight and wish there was a way to disable them entirely
Then they should just block the range 255.255.255.255.. that of course blocks all child porn sites (and all spam sites too).
the people who are not kitty porn or spam sites can just call and have their ip's removed from the list. the ACTUAL kitty porn peddlers wouldn't have the audacity to call and lie about it
I've always just added A records in my DNS that point back to 127.0.0.1:85 which is just a blank page. things like specificpop.com, doubleclick.com, x10.com, etc.. I often see popups with nothing in them (at least they can't popup other popups)
Not to pick nits, but doesn't somebody have to sell something before someone can buy it? Any fuel efficient car of late hasn't exactly been revolutionary and imo barely worth the extra cost.. ie: get a toyota prius, 33k hybrid that looks like a 12k camry and gets roughly 33% better gas mileage than a camry. Nobody wants to buy that shit. I'd be the first one to get an electric if it got 100+ mpg.. shit people would be stupid NOT too, but thats what its gunna take.
So you really think we dont have the technology today to make a 100mpg electric? I wonder, I really do.. theres a lot've baby boomer rich fat fucks with ties that sure love things "the way they are" because of their control and are willing to do much anything to keep it that way.
I wonder how much of this is capitalist pigs controlling the industry with their money.. maybe we have to wait for all the baby boomers to die off before we see technical innovation again

your mind is obviously warped and fried from too much VB programming. I prefer pascal over C as far as being "clean" goes.. but I put VB in a whole other universe where dirt comes in bars and farts smell like roses before I would call it clean

VB6 isn't good for wiping my ass. Photoshop is good for ui prototyping.. if you need function, Delphi is good for ui prototyping (but so is a good imagination).
I'm not a C elitest, just anti VB.. I was forced to use it for an asp project some time ago and my GOD. functions, subs, single tick comments, everything on one line, no parenthesis on procedures, I mean jesus.. it was HELL. Not that BASIC was ever a professional language that one should consider writing an entire project in, but MS sure has taken it and created the bastard language from hell with it.
America has done less wrong and more good with its power
I agree. This is because America's theme is capitalism.. its like asking, do YOU like money? and who doesn't like money?! Well maybe the socialists, but who cares about them anyways?
well, i'm kind of a music purist. if you can't get up on stage without a computer that you punch some buttons to make pre-recorded sounds
I strongly disagree. I know guys that will make music with ANYTHING (buckets, pencils, you name it) point being music is made by artists not instruments. A computer, keyboard or whatever is just an instrument - no, not anyone can do it, and what makes a "traditional" instrument more "pure" than a new one made possible with modern technology? Keyboards play a big part on the stage, in fact I haven't seen a band without one in quite some time. Grateful dead? Sounds like shit on acoustics.. you can attribute their sound to computers, just because you can't see them doesn't mean they're not there. That doesn't make them any less artistic.
Hear my condescending tone now, I know your type. You don't appreciate the artists but the music or the "art".. ever heard that beauty is in the eye of the beholder? Artists are people, you should appreciate them for their talent. Of course you can choose who to appreciate but if using modern instruments is outside your purist criteria..well, sucks to be you.
as for music how about trance, house, acid jazz, etc? all great genres that are relatively new.
I could think of forms of art we have now that just didn't exist back then. Movies for starters.. (yes I think art is and always has been about entertainment.. art for art's sake is for elitest assholes and is just plain booring)
Computer games/Demoscene. I could see Carmack going down in history for his contributions. Anyone into demos will tell you it is like the ultimate form of art.. only possible with computers.
most programmers are elitist assholes. I have yet to meet one, no matter how uneducated or deciplined, that doesn't have some outrageous ego. Personally I can't wait for programming to become a basic fundamental up there with reading, writing, and arithmetic.
Then being a programmer would actually mean something.. right now saying your a programmer is like "I do some obscure thing because I know how to do it, not because im good at it". where as saying your a writer means you must be good at writing. If you choose to program for a living it should be because your good at it.
but to date there has never been another Michaelangelo, Mozart, Machiavelli, Homer, etc
these people have all been dead for centuries.. it will be centuries before another dead person joins their ranks. Personally I question what makes these people so great anyways.. We have, living today, artists that are every bit as capable as the historic icons you mentioned. These days we just don't associate so much glamour with the title. No, the historic icons of the new are going to be actors an shit.

fishy.. anybody who codes primarily in C should hate VB very much for its non-freeform style and its disgustingly ugly syntax.
the only time vb was even remotely useful were the versions before 4 when it was still fully interpreted at runtime.. allowing you to have typos and would-be compiler errors but still produce an exe (getting the compiler error and line number at runtime from the interpreter).
nowa days vb is like the bastard child of languages that keeps showing up (asp, vbscript, vba are there really that many vb programmers?!)
or make the challenge a game of tic-tac-toe with a tic-tac-toe schema generated by the authentication server to be unique strategy/behavior/timing so to extract some psuedo-psychological biometrics from the user.. the tic-tac-toe engine would used signed schemas generated by xml via.net framework distributed to the thin client for decryption. its fun to pull shit out've your ass on slashdot isnt it?
everytime I sign one of those computer pad things (like at best buy). the sample rate is so slow that my "signature" ends up being five or six lines in different directions and it NEVER looks the same twice. whats the point of signing the thing? for a while now when I sign those things I just put an "X"

or does this term sound kind've like a made up buzzword like ".NET powered Java schemas!" or "SOAP servlet toaster oven with X-M-L!"
Try being foreign (yes - even Indian) and getting a job in the US
Its pretty damn easy aparently you don't even have to leave your country.
while were on the subject of hurting people for what we DIDN'T do.. you really hurt me by not sending me $100 bucks last month.
from highest to lowest
PHB $300,000
Executive Mgmt $150,000
Engineer (Pro) $80,000
Engineer (Hack) $60,000
Engineer (Guru) $$$ here and there + unemployment
I.T (Mgmt) $50,000
I.T (Reboot Monkey) Minimum Wage + unemployment
PR/Accounting "are you guys interested in equity" + unemployment
Legal (depends on the company $$$$(SCO))
Sales (commission only = $0) + unemployment
VC all dead apparently (mass suicide??)

now theres two!

im just pissed cuz it was

but the cost of a Windows Server license is prohibitive of amateur use
IIS comes with win2000 and XP, I think it was even installed by default on 2000.
why are your developers doing i.t work?
