  1. Do. on French President Busted For Copyright Violation · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Do as I say.

    Not as I do.

  2. Re:whats it give us? on Windows Server 2008 One Year On — Hit Or Miss? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    2k3 is good, but I have having to restart every week or so when MS puts out updates..

  3. Re:Videotron as everything to loose to P2P on Canadian ISPs Speak Out Against Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    YOu can bet your ass that TVA will not be reporting any news about this, or if they do, it'll be about how bad the evil p2p users are.

  4. Re:5th Amendment on US District Ct. Says Defendant Must Provide Decrypted Data · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If the files were encrypted, there's no way the police could have identified any of the files. It was his fault for helping the police in the first place.

    You should never talk to the police, their only interest is incriminating you in a crime, not the other way around.

    Wait, making sure your kids have no future ailments or life threatening conditions/diseases is a.. bad> thing?

    Sorry, but I'm 100% in favor of non-cosmetic Eugenics. Maybe you'd feel the same if you knew someone with cancer, diabetes or countless other horrible conditions.

    This was not a planned outage, as a result, no one was told in advance, that sucks.

    Internet advertising is practically worthless.

    Yeah, I'm gonna have to say no to that.

    If Wikipedia quotes a newspaper that quotes that very wikipedia article.. ..uuhh, I think I just went cross-eyed.

    Lots and lots of torrents from the empornium.

  10. Re:It's the Deletion procedure on Facebook's New Terms of Service · · Score: 1

    ON DELETE CASCADE only works when you're using foreign keys as I'm sure you know. I have my doubts that facebook is using anything other than MyISAM for their databases, which of course does not support FKeys.

    My example was to show the simplicity of doing a manual delete on all tables. It was never meant to be used, so forgive the lack of caring when it comes to the validation of a variable that was likely already quite safe.

    You sound like the kind of person that fights with programmers who don't use the do the same brace indentation as you. Get over yourself.

    This was merely an example. Did you seriously think the code was going to be used? It's. An. Example.

    You like patting yourself on the back don't you?

    I have no idea what their environment is like, but you make a foolish assumption that $user_id hasn't already been validated and that it's actually an external variable, when realistically it would be a variable provided by the site's own authentication system since it's the user that's logged in.

    This took me all of 20 seconds.

    $tables = $mysql->query("SHOW TABLES");

    while ($table = $tables->fetch_row())
    {
            $mysql->query("DELETE FROM `".$table[0]."` WHERE user_id = '".$user_id."'");
    }

  14. Re:Current users? on Facebook's New Terms of Service · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Your continued use of the Facebook Service after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.

    Well golly, that clause should hold up well in court.

    That's like McDonald's posting up a sign on a random wall in small print "by eating our food you agree not to sue us for any reason".

  15. Re:Current users? on Facebook's New Terms of Service · · Score: 2, Informative

    Any reasonable judge would throw such a clause out, especially given the sketchy way the TOS was agreed to in the first place.

    On their sign up form, below the "Sign Up" button is the text "By clicking Sign Up, you are indicating that you have read and agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.". I'm pretty sure that doesn't count as an legally binding agreement.

    Except apple makes products I actually want to use versus have to use.

  19. Re:Ignore it if you don't want to watch it. on Please No, Not a Blade Runner Sequel · · Score: 1

    There's no hate here, but if someone has a penis and is dressed and acting like a woman, that's deceptive. You can't blame someone for having a negative reaction when, without a word, you're already lying to someone who's interested in you.

    Riots in the streets for 12 days, total dead was 15,000 opening weekend alone.

    I think it's more about soiling the memory of something good.

    It's kinda like when you meet a hot girl, you hit it off, then your friend tells you she has a penis.

    I must be doing something wrong then. Should I put my computer in the freezer when I'm not using it or something, like, to keep it fresh longer?

    My sister's a doctor trained in Canada, she considered going to the US for better wages, until she realized the insane malpractice insurance she'd have to be paying due to the crazy number of lawsuits doctors in the US get. After all the math, she found it was more profitable to continue working in Canada. emphasis mine.
