I tell my friends to, instead of remembering the word itself, either remember the pattern of finger movements or -this has been popular lately- simply writing the first letter of their name with the keys on the keyboard. For example for 'A', you could have zSe4RfV (on a qwerty.) An additional good trick is to set the computer to be able to switch between two input locales (without the little sign in system tray) -for example, if you switch (alt+lshift) to Dvorak just before typing the password, it's hard to get right even if someone sees it (I switch to Qwerty myself:)
>True, but does turning a key force you to remember a complex stored memory? Nope.
Actually, it does. The process of getting your key, unlocking the door, opening the door and putting the key away probably uses a hundred different muscles, concentration to hit the keyhole and millions of nerve impulses and stored memory patterns. It's just that you don't think about it.
The problem is you don't know how the garbage collector works. It may be expecting some data about the pointer that was stored when it was allocated. Same as with C++ -you should never mix new/delete and malloc/free.
It's free for personal use only, if I recall correctly. It does, indeed, usually produce faster code but for some reason the executables are larger. In any case, it's good to make sure the code compiles on multiple compilers, and the -w2 option in Icc is usually extremely educational when looking for bugs.
I am going to STRANGLE (Seriously Terribly Restrict Airflow 'N Get Lungs Exploding) the person who comes up with these witty acronyms. I'm pretty sure it's just one guy in some corner office.
How many -even commercial- projects using MySQL use innoDB instead of the default?
In any case, most of MySQL's main selling points, speed, ease, etc. become moot if you have to A) install innoDB and B) use innoDB. At that point you should just have gone with something better.
>For a bunch of reasons, a lot of MySQL code has been written by people who are unaware of the state of DB incompatibilties, and thus make little effort to use portable code.
Right. But that's because MySQL implemented a crippled version. You can't blame that on the customers.
Writing good HTML -especially XHTML & CSS- is entirely different from writing code. HTML is a markup language, not a programming language, and excelling in it requires an entirely different skillset -it's more akin to designing a database than coding.
Being able to write a hashing algorithm doesn't make you suitable for all coding jobs.. in my experience, there are high-level coders and low-level coders and both are necessary.
This is not to say there aren't a lot of completely useless people out there -probably more doing ASP, VB and such than anything else, but a lot of PHP users, too. However, many if not most of the incompetent PHP coders are not making a career of it, unlike the ASP/MCSE people, but rather making their hobby/personal sites.
Yes, it is truly a sad day in the history of./ when personal opinions affect the otherwise-unbiased moderators. It may be contagious. Should we call Tom Ridge?
MySQL does not (although the obscure fbn builds are a bit better nowadays) implement SQL properly and is not ACID compliant. Many developers have had to rely on hacks to get their stuff working -or then have written bad code because MySQL allowed it. This is why some things need more extensive rewriting. In addition, I believe there are some proprietary products that use MySQL -to achieve the same effect, one would need to write a program from scratch, presumably.
Think of it this way: without the doctor, the 'loved one' (next one using that phrase will have some of their aforementioned doing grieving shortly) would be dead for sure.
Suing the doctor because they couldn't save little Timmy who little Tommy shot in the head with Daddy's shotgun is one thing -negligence certainly is a whole other ballgame.
Shouldn't take antibiotics if it can be avoided. The overusage is already causing very nasty dominant bacteria to appear. The other thing is that people don't take their whole prescriptions, thus creating resistant strains by allowing immunity to build up in bacteria.
It's kind of slow on anything. Not omg-I-can-see-my-toenails-grow slow, but the lookie-I'm-running-a-two-hundred-thousand-line-jav a-application slow. Just killing the GUI and running Darwin is fine, though:)
Your version is a common misliteration of the first versions of the book (anything written in blood on not-yet-dried skin is hard to read), and has been the cause of our failures so far. Only recent study has corrected the diphtong, and soon it will be the day our Master shall return. I, I!

Well, no. The faster photons are actually the speed of light and everything else is just slower :)

You have to think of it as a 'crutch.'
Problem is, they get their budget based on approved patents. Now THAT is a business model worth patenting.

Even if the elections "go without a hitch", it doesn't mean the ware worked. It just means the officials didn't notice anything off.

Isn't that CxC?

I'm a functional programmer, you insensitive clod!
Mm.. innoDB is enabled by default but I thought CREATE TABLE still defaults to myISAM? Could be wrong. I'm using SQLite, anyway :)
The most problems in MySQL these days spawn from the abysmal concurrency, I thinks.

There's a lot more out there than Achaea. Use the search feature.
