  1. Re:It needs to be reopened, and spent fuel moved i on Congressmen Pushing To Reopen Yucca Mountain · · Score: 2

    US rail needs upgraded anyway. Sound like an opportunity to improve our infrastructure and provide jobs, a great thing to do during a recession.

  2. Re:Ok, ok. on News of the World Investigation Expanded to 9/11 Victims · · Score: 1

    Which changes nothing about how illegal it is. It is very easy for me to open your house with a bump key, but I don't because it would be illegal and I am not that sort of person.

    Say Hi to Noah for me.

  4. Re:There can be only one... on IT Crises vs. Vacation: Sometimes It Isn't Pretty · · Score: 1

    If it is buzzing every night and weekend, you should be fired. Stuff should not be failing that often for any reason.

  5. Re:Oracle vs Facebook? on Facebook Trapped In MySQL a 'Fate Worse Than Death' · · Score: 3, Informative

    Use Postgres.
    It costs the same as MySQL $0 and is a 100 times the DB.
    It offers far better data integrity, it supports transactions out of the box, it will handle DBs in the TB range, and is about as standards compliant as DBs get.

    The company I work for uses it for our service that we sell.

  6. Re:I thought about going cheap for my startup on Facebook Trapped In MySQL a 'Fate Worse Than Death' · · Score: 1

    Which has nothing to do with this topic, since postgres is just as free as mysql and is an actual DB.

  7. Re:You know For Mysql That is great on Facebook Trapped In MySQL a 'Fate Worse Than Death' · · Score: 1

    Not it does not. Lots of people smoke, use windows, and do all kinds of other stupid things. This again only proves lots of people like to do stupid things.

  8. Re:Commercial databases on Facebook Trapped In MySQL a 'Fate Worse Than Death' · · Score: 1

    There is a lot wrong with MySQL.
    1. lack of referential integrity
    2. least SQL std compliant of all the popular DBs
    3. auto-incrementing rows that morons use as their keys
    4. The default engine does not even support transactions.

    I am sure other posters can add some more

    Unless you care about your data. Then you could save your money and your data and just use Postgres.

  10. Re:Will never happen. on Illegal Film Downloading Up 33% In the UK · · Score: 1

    It is not available in Region 1, which is why netflix does not have it. they have the other films that actually have Region 1 dvds.

    If 20th Century Fox wanted my money they would make a region 1 dvd.

    Or Postgresql, free and good.

  12. Re:Isn't it dark in there? on The Birth of Optogenetics · · Score: 1

    So do they just go through a ton of mice, or how are they dealing with all the problems of implants that pass through the skin?

  13. Re:VOIP via satellite? on Gov't Docs Reveal Canada's Net Neutrality Enforcement Failure · · Score: 2

    Consumer satellite internet connections are stupid, end of story.

    Fixed that for you.

  14. Re:Single Player Access on Sony Introduces 'PSN Pass' To Fight Used Game Sales · · Score: 1

    Which is why they have such steep discounts. Lack of resale value does that. I will gladly pay $5-$10 for a game, at that price I don't even care about resale.

  15. Re:Steam-punk appeal on Digital Generation Rediscovers Analog Wristwatches · · Score: 1

    I do not buy name brand pain killers. My stubble chips the blades of cheap bic razors.

    I have a beard, and as such do not shave my whole face. I also have no wife, just a girlfriend who would kill me if I shaved my whole face.

    Why not?
    Are most jarheads even capable of understanding human speech?

  17. Re:Steam-punk appeal on Digital Generation Rediscovers Analog Wristwatches · · Score: 1

    That is pretty much the only use for an electric razor, the damn things never have been able to give a decent shave anyway.

    Grow a beard, that is masculine. Only women and children lack beards.

    Are straight razors any good?
    I mean can they leave my face as smooth as a 5 bladed modern disposable?

    Those are not what I was envisioning here. I was hoping a fully mechanical movement, no crystal for time keeping just a gold old fashion wound spring.

  20. Re:How much proof do you need? on Microsoft Releases Mobile Data Collection Source Code · · Score: 0

    Those are quite different. Heck, just giving out source and let users compile it and place it on their own phones would solve this complaint. Sure you have to trust the compiler and the hardware, but that is pretty normal.

    The parent is trolling, else he would not have brought up the birther crap.

    Over here in reality, people sellout their own nations all the time for money. It happened in the cold war, and for eons before.

    Nationalism and racism are for people who have nothing to be personally proud about.

    I was more making a joke. Joining it sounds good, but I still don't trust hedge fund managers.

    First to file has no impact on prior ar., It only impacts in the case of two inventors who claim the same invention.
