stored procedures, I thought the whole point of them is that they are precompiled and live on the server side. Not only does this make them faster but you can change or modify the stored procedure without having to change the client code.
The above is true, the killer benefit is that, with them living on the server side, updates in the procedures are synchronised with updates to the data: if the business rules they enforce change, they change for all users at the same moment. This can be very important in cases where data is worth money. (Think: telecomms billing)
damned useless unless you're into stacking triangles in odd configurations
Ie costing the new kitchen floor. or navigating a fishing boat.
Or doing any kind of analog electronic design, or solving any real-world engineering problem.
a good understanding of trig is really useful for guestimating whether you are being ripped off in all manner of situations. Of course, if you live in a basement and spend day and night writing pointless VBasic scripts, nothing matters except Pizza and Coke.
Maybe you have forgotten, or maybe not, but 50% of people are of below average intelligence.
I'd bet good money that a good portion of those of above average intelligence, are not working for someone else in a capacity where they have to take their work home with them.
Companies - the kind of person that is willing to take home his/her work home on a laptop is generally unsuitable for the task. (See Groucho Marx on Club Membership)
You eat that stuff? Haven't you heard of "care in the community" yet?
How about deporting Ronald McDonald and his food fundamentalists for a wide variety of food crimes? He can take Wendy, Col Sanders and the Burger King with him!
Our government can do what it likes, subject to us putting up with it.
If they go too far, a stiffly worded letter to a respectable newspaper will generally put the government back on the "strait and narrow", but occasionally, we have to vote them out. If that fails, we have to resort to threats of violence, or, in dire necessity, actual violence, just like everywhere else.
Actual violence not needed very often. The last king to be killed was over 300 years ago (Charles I). He was hung from a tree - no guns needed.
A windows user has to give his/her pre-teen kids administrative access, because about 80% of PC apps wont work without it. (I don't say need If they were properly designed, they woudnt ask for it, and would probably work fine without).
A Mac user does not give his/her kids the admin password. No Mac app that badly designed would make it out of the starting gates.
COnsequently, the Mac user is not faces with his/her pre-teen kids installing random sh*te because of TV ringtone adverts, or other persuasion that only affects people with a mental age of less than 12.
Except this is England, where the average salary is under $40,000, gas costs $1.8 per LITRE and you are not going to get a home for $600/month unless its subsidised.
Mod parent up to superstar-status. A LOT of us do not have 50GHz processors, and a great many of us actually do not want to see any kind of animation on a web site. If you have some animation for us to view let us down load it and run it off line.
IMNSHO, any kind of unsolicited animation is as welcome as a slap round the face with a wet fish.Its just another kind of spam.
And furthermore, I dont want any bloody sound on your web site in my workplace Even if its not porn related.
I find that 2 minutes of watching a politician on TV makes me want to punch someone - generally, a politician. 10 minutes of watching politicians on TV makes me want to punch a whole government.
You are wrong. There is no direct evidence that HIV CAUSES AIDS. The two are associated. But then again people with higher education are more likely to drink wine and those with less education more likely to drink beer.
AFAIK no one claims that drinking wine makes you better educated.
When I worked in this area (Approx 18 years ago), there was good statistical evidence that you needed HIV and some other second factor to get AIDS. However, the HIV gives you AIDS explanaiton was simpler, so there was no funding to investigate the real mechanism. AFAIK, it has not been properly investigated because of political correctness in the funding bodies.
You are one of many people standing in the way of good science leading to a solution to a very serious problem.
Shame the web site doent make that a bit clearer. And also how to sign up for the service. It just tells you how to become a member, and explains that that is not how you sign up for the service.
You might want to read the small print very carefully. Someone I know is suing an insurance compay which refused to paaay becase "You neglected to tell us that your computers had software on them!" ($6,000,000 claim)
Insurance companies are slimy bastards at the best of times, I suggest that e-mail retailers of 10" poles might be a good investment. (I am sure your spam will confirm this).

Do you mean "will code for free" or "Beer for food"?

Because PHBs insist on using Windows.
Next question please ...
Oh, yeah, PT Barnum described the phenomenon accurately.... there's one born ...
Grog means Rum. This is beacuse Admiral Grog, of the (British) Royal Navy ordered that all British sailors be given a tot of rum every day at mid day.

But we'll keep Fats Domino and his Pizzas.

Actually it was less than 60 (including the suicide bombers themselves). More than that have died in car crashes since.
Reducing our civil liberties is what the terrorists are trying to do! Dame Eliza is a terrorist!.
MI5 must be eroded in order to preserve our civil liberties.
Yes Next question

Yay - Lets move it to Utah!
Well at least he got that one right!

Its not going to happen. The NRA would oppose it.

Is this a politically correct way of saying "a cheap way of bringing porn to fat people"?
It works fine in BSD, but you dont need a whole book, just tick the NTP box during the install process. (Linux is probably the same).
I thought my windows machine had sold its soul to the devil.
