This appplies to MSSQL server, I'm not positive about Oracle, DB2, or Postgres but I'm pretty sure they work the same way.
When a stored procedure is created on the Server it's compiled the first time it's run, and an execution plan is generated based off of statistics gathered from the data. After that it's not compiled again(until the server reboots or something). This compilation can take quite a long time even if it's just a select statement. If you don't use a stored proc your recompiling every time you run a statement(unless it's the EXACT same statement as previous and the execution plan is still in the cache). This alone is good enough reason to use stored procedures.
I won't go into transactional control and the fact that frontend developers love to muck databases.
Bullshit. I hate MS as much as the next guy, but MSSQL is the one product they did right. Since version 7.0 it's been rock solid. Don't make me start about how bad PL/SQL(cursors everywhere) is as a database language.
Also the 24" Sony GDM-FW900 Monitor has a USB Hub built into the bottom of it. I'm not sure if it qualifies as 'professional' or not but I can't afford it.
Actually I'm pretty sure Gundam is the most successful franchise to come out of japan. It's like the Japanese star trek to the japanese but more popular.
This sounds like it's a measure to prevent monopoly power. If so could the government rule to put a compulsory license on the Windows APIs to force interoperability? Wine would actually work well with that.
Donating it. Do you really think you're using the full potential of your DSL line all the time? Just think if everyone who had DSL set up a Wireless NAP and dedicated half their bandwidth to it. You'd be able to get Internet access all over most metropolitan areas. It wouldn't save you any money, but it'd be damn convenient.
Sorry I liked t but it was far from perfect. I think they ended up going a little cheap on it since they were over budget. Too much motion blur, bad dubbing, and Steve Buscemi and Peri Gilpin should NOT be a voice actors.
The reason the GPL still manages to exist is the consumers are also the developers. One artist designing a level doesn't help another artist in any way, aside from maybe a little inspiration. But when one developer writes a code library, and then another uses his code library to write a text editor that the first developer can use...
On the contrary experience only comes with TIME not age. You can be 40 years old with 4 years of experience or 20 years old with 4 years of experience it's all the same thing. Having been alive twenty more years only shows you've not forgotten to breath.

Then what perhaps is a good term to use? I'm a guy, people normally don't refer to me as a man or a boy. They call me a guy. Women don't have a term like 'guy' that they like being called by. I feel uncomfortable calling someone my age (20ish) a woman, or a girl. Just like most women wouldn't say "Who's that cute man\boy over there?" They can just say guy. So what the hell do I say? I personally prefer chick, I could call you a gal but that sounds really lame. Women really need to come up with a term they want to be reffered to as in casual conversation.
I personally think the web is a great thing as it stands. Some of the commercialization is good. I love being able to order computer parts, and DVDs over the internet, and my bank Wingspan is completely internet based. I do however miss the old days when there wasn't the web pages with music, flash multimedia shit, and urban legend junk mail. I think we should set up another network kind of like internet 2. Instead of limiting it to colleges we'd limit it to IT professionals, corporations, and scientists. No more www.hotsex.com allowed, we can still get that on the internet. No banner ads, no trolls, no spam. If someone breaks the rules you warn them, if they persist, sever their connection. All of that bandwidth just for the exchange of useful IT & science related info.
Note how using normal Karma whore techniques he replys to the First Post with something vaguely relevent. Therefore he's the first post that moderators see without automatically going for their offtopic flamebait cannons.
And in my recent survey (ie walking around talking to people) I've found that 85% of americans are morons who should be sterilized for the good of the species. Another 10% (hairdressers, artists "the kind that think 'blue' is art", and philosophers) should be out on to a space ship and sent out to colonize another planet.
Of course these polls are not scientific and would probably break quite a few laws and social standards should they be implemented.
I wouldn't get my hopes up about it competing with anime. America just doesn't have the culture necessary to create good anime(currently). One of the reasons Anime has been able to take off is the OAV format. Writers and directors have some 6 hours or more of time to tell a story and flesh out a plot. Most good anime was originally an OVA, or TV series. Of course there are exceptions such as Ninja Scroll, but I feel the only way we could pull off an Anime quality movie in America is if that was the original intention, to copy the japanese.
Sony is probably losing money on the Playstation 2. Where they get their money is from the games. If they sell more playstations, but the same number of games because a person in america bought an import then replaced it with the US version it affects their profits.

Ok I'm curious now what Ender's Game reference did he make? I must've picked a bad week to stop smoking crack.

Actually people don't use drive space because it sucks and corrupts your data. If it didn't many people would still use it.

Could this technology be used to create true 3D displays. Pixels and transistors to control them embedded inside a clear plastic cube?
(slightly offtopic)
The LOTR trailer looked really sweet. It looks like they're spending a hell of a lot of money on that thing.
That's NOT an Impala. It's the Malibu XLT. A real Impala is a rear wheel drive V8.
The one piece of advise I have to give you. "Don't take any guff from those swine"
A database without transactions is no database at all.

I'm not the original poster, but he probably got it at Circuit City. It's the APEX 600AD just picked one up myself, I payed $180 though.
Great now I'll get "Open Source" spam from Real Inc.
