Might be applicable in a larger vehicle that could take the equipment required to extract some of that excess energy prior to release into the atmosphere.
Complete ignorance of geography can be a valid criticism, however, other cultural issues are not as easily attributable to gross ignorance. Some are more akin to political sensitivities that in several cases should not be so easily accommodated.
For example, when China took over Hong Kong it was to be two systems within one country. Looking at the actions actions of the central communist government, why should the people of Taiwan be so compliant to join such a repressive regime?
It may have cost MS some money, but for several examples it would have been better to ignore those making the complaints. Instead of being gleeful that MS is not collecting the cash, one should hope they ignore many of those pressures in the future. Read the entire article, too many companies compromise for their own short term interests.
For example: CNN refers to themselves as the "Most Trusted News...", well not by me. They made a deal with Saddem prior to our "liberation" of that country to not pubilicize terror tactics he so easily employed against his populous. Just like those claiming "Fair and Balanced..." But I wander too far afield.
It is the unpredictability of the entire market response that would give their management waking nightmares. It is a concern that has more than a bit of merit.
At this juncture they have the hopes of locking in much of the industrialized (really formally would be more accurate) via local laws and trade agreements combined with a new operating system that locks down a greater proportion of users. A columnist just risks his/her reputation, those managing risk their current (and future) comfort should they guess wrong if they plan to stay with a company. While there have been many cases of teams that arrive gut the company and run before the bills come due, I do not see that as the drive for most of those in power at MS.
The idea has its attraction for us, but the view is very different within looking outward.
A revision: at 3 minutes to closing the stock was down only 10 cents at closing it was up to 4.63 a gain of 10 cents over the previous day..
The total volume was a bit over 151K and the averages trades per day has been dropping from well over 200K to an average less than 200K. These could be SCO authorized buybacks where they can gain shares at near the lowest price, but inflate the stock value at the end of the trading day. The smaller the volume the easier that such trading can affect the stocks value. However, at best this is a holding pattern that cannot be maintained under continuous pressure.
The average, in comparison, for Red Hat is several million shares per day trading volume.
Anothering interesting pattern I think I have observed is that SCO seems to have risen on off days for the NASDAQ and falling values during up periods for that exchange.
Recently I have been following the trading and near the closing each day there is a significant trade raising the closing value. This is despite severe drops during the major part of the trading day.
This has not yet reversed the general trend downward. Moreover, the average trading volume also has been declining nearly steadily, hence, a realitively small trade can reverse the day's trend.
That New Yorker that moves 5000 miles to the West Coast better bring a passport and life preserver. I wonder if that would suffice to reach the 'East' coast of one of the Hawaiian islands?
To me, in Linux or UNIX 'cat' is calling a command that displays the contents of a file, like 'ECHO' in DOS.
Are you talking about an editor is this a new/old editor that not too many programmers use?
I am coding currently in perl using emacs that formats, color codes and highlights critical words in context. It lacks the lookups I have seen on other editors and I am making my share of errors. However, I am still at home with this editor and pleasantly surprised and impressed with its power.
Of course, I am just making another pass at perl to really learn it well this time. Nonetheless, I do not see myself dropping emacs when I begin to use it in producing real code.
I have the *same* "problem", but it is on a laptop where I kill it with the power button. Moreover, on restarting on a subsequent day I see nothing about an improper shut down. Hence, not quite as convient, but not a real hang either.
Of interest too are the number of packages that did not install properly. Nonetheless, I was mostly blissfully ignorant until I had to use particular packages. More recently, my own installation of updated or new packages have gone well where I have installed as a shared resource, e.g./usr/local/...
Some problems, yes but nothing as crazy as I have encountered in "Windows".
Prefect, of course not - but certainly more than good enough. I cannot remember the last time I booted into Windows - months ago when I was searching for some email.
I wonder, it seems that what Consumer Reports says are its real world tests seems to come much nearer to the mileages I have seen mentioned here and in earlier posts and articles. Given the location of their test site, northern New Jersey and assuming the driving experience was obtained in that state and perhaps some or all of the following: PA, NY and CT. They seemed to have been doing a credible job.
I must admit that I was disturbed by some of their mileage ratings that are a mix of metro and highway. Nonetheless, they seem to be more accurate than the E.P.A. figures. [In my case, in a 2000 Accura Integra, I have matched or exceeded the highway estimate and am pretty close on the in town driving even in the winter. The lowest was in the low 20's that may also reflect the loss due to the winter only gas additives.]
You are forgetting that energy cannot be created or destroyed, so they must have let it loose to wander off somewhere to become a sugar coated donut or something that matters...

I agree with the parent post. However, to call the cited note an article is an overstatement. Moreover, the author had trouble had problems differentiating 'loose', i.e. being '...let loose to roam' from lose as in 'lose sight of...'. Indeed, it would have been a small loss to have missed this probable rewrite from an unattributed source.
Sorry to sound so nasty, but this was a bogus writeup seemingly to attract a slashdot effect and then to crow about it happening. Surely there was a better source to cite!

There are other potential problems in your SQL that unrelated to whether the reserved words are all caps or not. For instance: SELECT * can get some unexpected results. [First what table are you selecting from - not that important really, since you were just trying to show readibility.] However, even though the table of interest may have an altered structure you might not be seeing columns of interest if the stored procedure that contains this code was not refreshed after the structure change. You are using stored procedures I assume.
Another simple hint: use aliases that are more easily connected to the table name. Many of us use many more than two tables in our Joins.
For many reasons stay away from selecting everything, if you have no need for most columns. An easy way to bring your system down or locking others out if used in combination with temporary table on an older version of a backend server.
Just because you no longer have an interest in using all caps key, does not imply others do not. There are other more important problems.
Could you cite one instance? Perhaps I might take your post a bit more seriously if you could.
Note the discoloration in used vegetable oil? That is not all due to suspended food particles. Unlike lubricating oil in your car, you are observing a chemical change that is not easily filtered out. You are adding oxygen over the unsaturated portions of the fatty acid chains. Remember oils at room temperature are fluids because of that type of chemical bonds.
Just because you do not like the topic do not be like the current political heads that make things up to support their <i><b>arguments</b></i> regardless of the truth of their statements.
Where in FL? I got zero reception my whole time there last summer. Nothing in Orlando, Miami, Homestead and the Keys. I just stopped turning it on for much of the trip.
I was a bit suprised, since my previous experience was that while not great i could make calls in most metro areas along the Eastern Seaboard.
I am still with Sprint despite its failings. Coverage can be spotty particularly when compared to Verizon. However, Verizon messaging system has degraded further from its already low standards (East Coast U.S.).
When I had their service I would get messages (unpredicatively) days late from clients. Each time I would inquire about it - first there would be denial then: '... Next time check with us.'. Not very helpful. I knew immediately they were days late because the day if not the time of the message was 'stamped' on each message. Three days late when it happened was not unusual.
Verizon no longer day stamps the messages - one urgent message was received about a week late. However, those receiving the message no longer have any way of knowing when the message was left.
Good going Verizon - maybe for family use, but not business.

You're new here I see. If you do not see a text next to the score, the comment has NOT been moderated.
Now as your punishment you will hear endlessly about Karma points.
Also a bit dangerous, think hot exhaust!

My only complaint would be that "more" implies more than a quoted extracts without further insights.
I must admit that I had not noted the pattern of postings, though I remember other times having similar let downs on clicking minimal content links.
software, personally. However, I am incensed when MS takes open software and "extends" it with hidden code to make it unusable. Remember Kerberos?
Contribute what you wish to contribute, but better yet: open your file formats or allow open formats to interoperate with your preferred file formats.
For me that would more than suffice. Note, however, I am not holding my breath in expectation.

Why not just use the all caps for reserved words in the SQL. Then use leading capital for tables/views and lower case for nearly everything else?
The combination improves one's grasp of the intent of the code. That's the way we wrote our Transact-SQL stored procedures.
