Heh. Actually, I would personally be unlikely to lose with such a setup, but for anyone with income or any wealth, that sure would seem like a bad bank.
MySQL is great for general web purposes. I'd say MongoDB is fine for much web data, and it makes MySQL look like a fuddy-duddy. But not for banks.
If you want a robust open source RDBMS, go for PostgreSQL.
Heck, I've seen cases where some fairly large Oracle installs were converted to PostgreSQL, and fairly painlessly, as that there is significant similarities (good procedural language capabilities in PG).
You know...at the very least, when talking about the peppers themselves they should spell it right...chile. Chili is the good stuff they make in TX with ground chiles, beef, tomato...etc.
I like mine with beans too, so I'm not only liking the TX version.
But isn't the pepper itself supposed to be spelled chile?
No, but I bet your parent's had kids who went to school on the state's dime. THAT is what you are paying for.
That brings up one question I can never reconcile. Should people that have kids (or lots of kids) not pay more in taxes than those with few kids or none...since they do in fact use more resources?
I mean, if I drive a larger gas guzzling car/truck, I pay more fuel taxes....
And no....I don't buy that it is to encourage people to have kids (future tax payers). People will naturally fuck, and naturally have kids.
I cannot even imagine a scenario where the couple was vacillating about using a rubber or not, and realized they'd get tax deduction...and ripped off the rubber to fuck bareback.
And here I was, thinking that/. was accessible and used by most of the world...
Not really. According to the FAQ page, under the Editorial Section:
Slashdot seems to be very U.S.-centric. Do you have any plans to be more international in your scope?"Slashdot is U.S.-centric. We readily admit this, and really don't see it as a problem. Slashdot is run by Americans, after all, and the vast majority of our readership is in the U.S. We're certainly not opposed to doing more international stories, but we don't have any formal plans for making that happen. All we can really tell you is that if you're outside the U.S. and you have news, submit it, and if it looks interesting, we'll post it.
It is worth noting that there is a Japanese Slashdot run by VA Japan. While we helped them a little in their early days, they essentially run their own content without any real involvement from us... none of us can read Kanji! There are currently no plans to do other language or nation specific Slashdot sites. "
So yes...when I post here, I take things from a US perspective, and how it affect me as a US citizen. I welcome foreign viewpoints...nice to hear and learn about them. But this is a US centric site with US centric mindset on the topics, so, no reason to get offended if you don't live here nor should you expect us to think they way you do either....especially if the topic at hand might affect USA and its citizens.
So... someone who is crossing into the U.S. illegally to pick fruit for $4 an hour for a couple of months before going back deserves to die now?
Well, how do you know what someone's motive for illegally crossing the border is? Are they wanting to pick fruit for $4/hr...or, are they an armed MX drug thug, coming over to kill a US citizen?
I'm for default thinking of someone illegally crossing our border, is an illegal foreign invader. Let's treat them as such.
Sure, I agree we should revamp, and streamline our immigration system..that would help. But I see no reason for tolerance for people breaking our sovereign national borders. If they were coming across in tanks would we not shoot them at the border? Well, why should we assume they're not carrying arms or have nefarious plans....after all there ARE criminals the second they cross our border illegally.
In this thread of a conversation on a US centric discussion forum...yes
... and the only part of that country that's important is texas?
No...the US is comprised of several somewhat autonomous (although that is disappearing unfortunately) states, I was merely stating that there are vast differences in the law based on the state you reside in here.
As far as world view of this...no, this request involves ya'll too, however, I'd vote the US stay as far the fuck away from this as possible. You think I don't want to get rid of my states autonomy (no, I don't live in TX)...that's nothing compared to my wishes and will to have my country remain autonomous from something like this which does sound like one world order stuff.
I really don't much care what anyone does in their part of the world...until it affect me in mine.
I fail to see how anything from the starting position of "shoot all illegal immigrants" would be able to remain consistent with the Constitution in any meaningful way, or even continue a pretense that they plan to.
Sounds perfectly constitutional...in fact one of the FEW enumerated things the constitutiion tells the Federal Govt it is charged with, protecting our borders.
If someone is crossing the border, through said DMZ and not at a legal crossing zone, it can be assumed they are illegally crossing and a foreign enemy, and should be treated as such. No, not all of them are carrying guns across our border, but many are and the MX death squads have come to target US citzens on our side of the border, so, yes..I can see it as an almost warlike defense of our borders and treating it as such.
Why does your "we" include Arizonians that you do not know but exclude Mexicans that you do not know?
You're question is not clear to me...but taking a wild guess here and the distinction I'm making is that the people from AZ are legal US citizens, entitled to be here, and those from MX are not legal US citizens, and therefore illegal foreign invaders, and should be treated as such when discovered attempting illegal crossings or if found on this side after making it.
1) You're suggesting a capital punishment for a civil offense. That is blatantly unconstitutional.
Not really, this is defending our borders, something that is constitutional. If they are crossing illegally, then they are easily termed as enemy combatants/invader..which is not a civil offense. These are not US citizens jaywalking, these are foreign invaders by definition.
2) Where do you propose we put these snipers and mines? The border is pretty much all private property, and large sections of it are range land for cattle. Something tells me ranchers won't be too hot about having bombs put out where their property walks around unfettered.
Not putting this stuff haphazardly...land mines in a DMZ right ON the border. One of the few reasons I can see that is justifiable use of eminent domain.
Again, our snipers need training...the can sneak around on the lands near the border, or if mountains nearby, use that. Hey, why not use UAV's that are armed to cover the flat areas with no cover?
3) This won't stop people from trying to get into the country, it will just funnel them into even more dangerous and desperate situations, leading to even more people ended up dying in horrible conditions (seriously, look into how many people die in the desert every year, it's already incredibly dangerous and yet people still do it, that should tell you something of their desperation).
Well, hoping the bad current conditions keep some of the human flood back...I see no reason to make this illegal activity MORE inviting or easier. I'm advocating making it downright and openly DEADLY.
4) Remember the Berlin Wall? Remember people being horrified at the idea of guards shooting people because they wanted a better life? How is your plan any different from what they did (beyond the superficial one of keeping people in instead of keeping them out).
Different..we're not trying to keep unhappy people trapped within our country, we're trying to keep invading foreigners from illegally coming into our country, to break even more laws (crossing illegally is crime #1) and put strains on our systems, and undermine our national security. Illegal blocks of non-citizens voting in many cases for things not in the best interest of the USA.
5) Do you have any idea how much it costs to train and equip a sniper? Do you have any idea of how many you'd need to man the entire border?
...do note I mentioned that this would be part of the ongoing training we already do for our military snipers. Hell, it would be money saving, and offer more real world experience than simulatons. Headshots here would be real headshots...
And as you saying people from MX or other SA countries can't come here and work legally? Are you fucking kidding me?
We have plenty of people from around the world coming here legally with green cards, H1B visas, etc.
Look I don't mind where you come from....if you want to come to the US and contribute, and hopefully become a citizen...sign the fucking guest book on the way in.
I agree that we need reform of the immigration system, to streamline it, not make it a revolving door, there needs to be limits and regulations on traffic into the country.
But until then...no, don't break the current laws....
Aren't there lots of people that are opposed to killing prisoners?
(at least enough to limit the usefulness of execution as an example when discussing how a society should function...)
Not really...and depends on the state you're in.
Heck, in recent years...Texas has been putting in laws that will streamline the process for heinous acts of murder that have like 3-4 credible first account eye witness of the act.
Sure, some states are trying to outlaw the death penalty, but Texas is putting in an express lane!!
The usual majority laugh at privacy and point at illegal immigrants and drug traffickers.
And there is such an easier, straightfoward way to take care of much of this.
We pay a lot of money to train our military snipers...why not do rotations of them along our borders to help keep their skills honed?
I mean, set up an area of the border that is a DMZ...nothing human should cross into it...anyone that does, is a criminal, and BANG...taken care of....
I'd think that would put a bit of a stop to people crossing illegally to carry themselves or illegal drugs or weapons across the borders.
I agree we should decriminalize most drugs...that would stop a lot of the traffic, but I see nothing wrong with defending our borders.
Hell, it is one of the FEW enumerated powers/responsiblities the constitutions gives the Feds....so, why not make use of an effective resource we already have at our disposal?
I wouldn't mind setting land mines at the border either...again, there is NO legal reason to be crossing there, and not at a legal border crossing. If you do otherwise...BANG/BOOM
So, getting cancer, getting in a car accident where you're not responsible, or getting alzheimer is being careless? I mean, Why do we support prisonners? Why shouldn't we just kill them? After all, they are sucking up ressources, right?
Well, its tough, but am I truly my brothers keeper? Should that not be my choice rather than forced on me by the government?
And we DO kill prisoners, if the crime fits the punishment. Remember, prisoners are being punished for crimes, and the death penalty isn't justified for most crimes.
But in nature, bad things happen to good people, it sucks but that's the world we live in. It shouldn't, however be forced to be my problem when it does, I don't mind handing out cash and resources voluntarily, especially to relatives or good friends...but I don't need or want the government (especially on the federal level which does NOT know my living needs as good as local govt) forcing me to do so.One is freedom, the other is not.
I've never been on FB...and don't plan to. I really don't see the need for it, especially in light of privacy issues.
I still keep in touch with my friends in the same old ways as before...phone, txt, email...
I'm not left out of anything, and pretty much anyone that I want to know of my whereabouts, already knows. There's plenty of people from long past that I'd just as soon not know where I live....although I'm getting to the age where most kids I might have had are over 18yrs, so that *knock* on the door for that issues isn't quite as scary as it would have been a few years ago.
Everything is encapsulated in a VM, both in and out. It's been my solution to being able to browse gay porn and not worry about my wife finding it in my browser history, so it should be good enough for running this kind of program.
That makes no sense.
If you're married with a wife...why the fuck would you want to look at gay pr0n???
I mean, I can understand a man getting tired of the same pussy after a few years, but that's no call for switching 'teams'....!!
HSA beats FSA, hands-down (unless federal healthcare regulations change things in the future). However, not all employers offer HSA options.
Trouble is, the recent obamacare legislation did poke more holes and weaken the HSA and FSA programs...making them harder to get and less effective. I don't really understand that move.
But to set up a HSA, all you need (at this point) is a high deductible medical insurane policy and you can set up a HSA at a number of banks on your own, you don't have to do that through your company you work for.
I wish they'd open HSA's and make them available even without a high deductible insurance policy. It is such a great idea, not sure why the Feds not only don't encourage and promote them, but seem of late to actively try to destroy them.
My idea of an "improved tablet" is one on which web sites cannot distinguish the fact that I'm accessing it on a tablet so that I won't get any more "We're sorry, but we don't have the content rights to display this on mobile devices" messages.
Interesting message...I've never seen anything like that. What sites have you seen that do this?
Slashdot Mirror
Actually, I'm beyond ALL of that.
I now just sent out a telepathic mental message/image to all of my subscribers periodically throughout the day.
There, fixed that for you.
I hear ya.
I'm not on facebook due to privacy concerns enough as it is...I CERTAINLY am not going to let them be privy to my financial information.
If you want a robust open source RDBMS, go for PostgreSQL .
Heck, I've seen cases where some fairly large Oracle installs were converted to PostgreSQL, and fairly painlessly, as that there is significant similarities (good procedural language capabilities in PG).

But isn't the pepper itself supposed to be spelled chile?
Any Godzilla sightings yet??
Does it run linux?
That brings up one question I can never reconcile. Should people that have kids (or lots of kids) not pay more in taxes than those with few kids or none...since they do in fact use more resources?

And no....I don't buy that it is to encourage people to have kids (future tax payers). People will naturally fuck, and naturally have kids.
I cannot even imagine a scenario where the couple was vacillating about using a rubber or not, and realized they'd get tax deduction...and ripped off the rubber to fuck bareback.
