Well...no need to store the custname if you are already storing the custnum...duplicaton of data, and all that. You'd just have another table, keyed by custname, that would hold 'Bob Smith'

Thanks for the link to the "What's wrong..." page. I love having access to new information, especially when there's a lot of it in one place. There's nothing like learning something new.
I went to tech school after HS graduation and encountered all those obstacles. Since I'm not a follower of orders I was miserable and instead embarked on a life of adventure. Now I've assured myself there are things I need to learn. I am slated to return to school...six years later, with the wisdom of my experiences. I may not have all of the fire of my youth, but I certainly have the experience and discernment to make my own informed decisions. I knew I'd make mistakes. I managed to make the worst ones in ways that only hurt for a little while. Besides, now I'm good at being poor, and it fails to frighten me.
Wasting booze is a sin, dammit! My adult beverages are for entertainment purposes only, true...but watching them burn isn't as entertaining as consuming them and watching something else burn.
First, I agree with some of what you say...however:
but the last american(emphasis added) terrorist attack was done by one of our own
Technically, embassies and warships (as well as other property) are considered to be extensions of the United States. The embassy bombings and attack on the USS Cole (as well as other, lesser offenses) were perpetrated (reputedly) by foreign terrorists. Thus, the last assault on America (prior to the current events) was not planned by Americans. And didn't McVeigh renounce his citizenship?
more people die from wearing helmets than from not wearing them.
Not familiar with the Hurt report, are we? Besides, a helmet did save my life. I smashed the back of my head into the pavement and crushed my helmet. I walked away with various injuries but none to the head. I don't care about helmet laws, but the claim that helmets kill more people than they save (or even in significant numbers) is absurd.

How many Slashdot stories do you need to read to prove... Posts to/. are often the anonymous opinions of zealots. They prove nothing. Indicate, yes. Provoke, certainly. Prove, rarely.

That fella has some seriously fucked up links. Look for the one where he talks about using magnets as body mods...follow it and see what the twins are doing.
How about amputation and reattachment, parts swapping between the two? Photoshop, I hope, but I dunno.
Scares coworkers is pretty much automatic for me. Hard to fix, too. I'm 6'5 and around 300 lbs, plus have a nice assortment of tattoos...most covered by work clothes. Meetings and other forced contact are actually good for my interpersonal relationships here...no one approaches me until they've met me in a group setting. It's funny to me, and it helps cut down on the foot traffic. I'm not abrasive or unpleasant, I don't mumble or threaten, but I do dwarf most of those around me. And they find it disconcerting. Such is life.
The reason it is a commodity and can be made to work is because it is similar to the many flavors of Unix, thus allowing Unix aware programmers to work with it. The thrust of his first point is that the average user will often have trouble finding drivers and applications. The thrust of his second point is that there is enough overlap to allow professionals to create or modify drivers and applications. Two different points.
For the always on, not the speed? That's gotta be about the most idiotic use of money I can imagine. I bought it for the speed. Modem vs DSL is like kindergartener reading aloud vs professional voiceover person reading aloud. One is intolerable, one is enjoyable. Not that I'm saying you are stupid...I'm saying the "average consumer" in this scenario is stupid.
Like the AC said...the temp was increasing by hundreds of degrees per second...evidently, most software solutions only poll the board every 5 seconds...no time to react.
Absolutely. I thank ESR for the jargon file (and I'm starting to suspect that may be subtly corrupt). However, something about the man screams "I WANT TO BE IMPORTANT" and makes me wary of his thought processes.
