  2. Re:8 min. abs. of course! - Balogna!!! on Exercise for Geeks? · · Score: 2

    Well if by SPAM you mean [post a useful message with links to ways for them to save money on a useful product]. Then I guess I've spammed. I am in no way affiliated with 8 min./Half.Ebay/Current codes.

    One of my old college roommates used to have this on VHS, and it really did work. I understand that spot-reduction of fat doesn't work. This is a good workout regardless and really defines your abs. It is going to take you awhile to geat rid of a 40# spare tire, but i'd rather have a gut full of muscle.

    (I work for a company which is in no way affiliated with WISE)

    We use WISE Pro at work, and their software is well worth the money. It took me a little bit to figure out how the software works, but you can do almost anything with it.

    I've used it for everything from office template installers to complex ibm software packages to quake map installers.

    There's a couple of things that I'd like to see added to the software, but I haven't checked out the latest versions either.

    i'm assuming that you mean hammers and tools and stuff. i kept getting this $130 rice cooker, it was pretty funny b/c they are like $35 in almost any store. i got the occaisional mp3 player, i almost bought 2 of them. the guy who works across from me has been getting good DVD's for cheap (memento - $10). lucky bastard. i think its because he has some AMZN stock or something.

    That is a nice bike. I've always wanted a little lightweight 250. My 600 feels like a cow sometimes weighing in at 438#. i'm glad you had pictures of your gear. its obvious that it saved you 10-15# of flesh, some broken bones, and probably your life. what kind of pants are those? they look like they did a good job.

    hehe, you forgot RIT. err... Maybe you just left it out on purpose. That's ok, I don't blame you. I went there, I have a really expensive piece of paper that didn't get me anything. At least I had a good time when I went there... no... wait, that was high school.

    Maybe it was just my own experience with the unorganized IT dept, but somehow I don't think I'm alone.

  11. Re:On stored proc on PostgreSQL vs. SAP? · · Score: 1

    a) um, how are they not portable? its pretty easy to copy and paste them, assuming that your DB came with a GUI.

    b) i guess this is a personal preference. i like calling a stored procedure (Search), passing in a single string (a+list+of+words), and having it return a single recordset. but i guess that's just me.

    also, they are (usually) compiled (as opposed to interpreted) and can potentially take a considerable processing load - especially if there's complex logic - off of the web server.

    STORED PROCEDURES?

    You can't do everything in one line of SQL. Not in a timely fashion anyways. Aside from the speed of the database, you should also consider the speed of development.

  16. Re:Ears? on An Alligator's Sixth Sense · · Score: 2

    well, lets go through an example together, ok?
    your left ear hears a sound that's 2 feet away. all points 2 feet away will make a sphere around this ear (with a radius of 2 feet).
    your left ear hears a sound 1 foot away. all points from this ear makes a sphere around it (with a radius of 1 foot).
    all points where these 2 spheres intersect form a circle.
    your brain uses many clues to locate the sound on this circle. two of the ways that it does this is if you move (by turning your head or whatever) or the sound moves. usually your brain just locates it from memory (certain sounds come from certain objects, certain voices come from certain people, etc.)
    when you think in three dimensions, it doesn't really look like a triangle. i'm not exactly an expert in this area (i did take psychology of perception in college), so feel free to prove me wrong. ;-)

  17. Re:Ears? on An Alligator's Sixth Sense · · Score: 2

    Last time i checked that's what my ears do. Except you can't triangulate with only 2 points, but your brain uses other cues to determine where the sound is located.

    I'm curious about this "fancy triangulation" though. Does it use a graphing calculator or what?

  18. Re:Atheism != religion on Klez, The Virus that Keeps on Giving · · Score: 2

    Ah you are right. I confused the definition of "religion", with the definitions of "faith", and "belief".

    I think I am getting confused by your argument. Let me get this straight. Because these horrible people who were atheists... committed horrible acts against people with a religion... How does that mean the war was caused by science? How is it that religion can not be considered a cause when according to you it is the main difference between the agressor and the victim?
