    I dont know or understand your reference nor do I get your response. Are you saying I was incompetent or they were? If you say I am, you havent seen their SQL fields... It was seriously an entire chart in one field with Java code and HTML code inside. I would have had to parse it all out where they already did. Uh.. reread what you quoted about the PDF dumps, the company had no idea what we were doing in the way I stated my question. You have the full picture, I approached it a different way to them. So, GG on assumption. Third point, the reasoning for the PDF dump was made clear to them in how I approached them with the situation. So again, GG on assumption. Troll elsewhere, you are terrible at it.

  8. Love it... on When a DNA Testing Firm Goes Bankrupt, Who Gets the Data? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Businesses are so concerned with making money they dont think ahead. In a previous job we got rid of a proprietary system because we moved to a new one. No one thought about all the old records during this transaction. Well, we had access the the DB, but it was coded in such a way that the fields were a jumble of crap and would have taken forever to pull apart to get the records. I asked the proprietary company if they had a way to dump the records to PDF for easy reading and storage. Nope... This company was in business for 7+ years and they had no way to mass export records? They developed a half assed way to get it done, and I had to come up with a solution for the slack they left. So, not only did my company not think of this before hand, neither did the proprietary company. It is no surprise this company did the same Why does no one even consider this as a possibility? Companies dont last forever, so why has no one even considered this? The people that have their DNA at the company are now subject to the whim of whatever happens because it is guaranteed their contracts do not state "if we go under, your data will be destroyed". Good game people, good game.

    You mean to tell me that our government cant accurately predict actual jobs created in lu of the current evidence that shows they cant accurately put down their own district numbers? Please man... flamebait is right. Everyone knows that the government can not predict the amount of jobs created on current and future projects, they can only estimate. Oh, and dont think that Devaney couldnt have explained it better instead of leaving it out there for people like yourself to pick up on and assume without thinking about all aspects.

    Yes it does... The jobs do exist and you can find them via Zip code instead of district. The reality was that there was no district fact checking and nothing more. You want to blame anyone, blame the people that wrote down the false districts.

    You are right. I mean that whole Vietnam thing and how the news covered it back then was SSOOOOO pro government.

DIdnt hear a damn thing about the billions lost in Iraq, the billions spent in Iraq, and how the pretense to go to war was as false as Vietnam.

    Srsly? Just because Obama did not want to interview with the #1 B.S. rumor starter in the USA that is obviously pro-republican doesnt mean they are being "bullied". Fox news had the option to go through all the interviews and pick them apart. Instead they ignored it, pretending it didnt even happen. Hmmm... there seems to be a similarity between Fox News and China. Want proof of Fox News being liars? youtube.com and look up Fox News caught or any other variation and enjoy the comedy. Oh, and the other point where Fox News officials are saying that "Oh its obvious where we put the news and the commentary". Really? Daily show examined this claim and found that Fox news perpetuates their own B.S. news. Fox news is destroying themselves and everyone else is laughing while they do it.

    The reason for Microsofts constant failure at security and bugs is that they outsource portions of the code still. Win ME was the first time they did that, look what happened. They still dont learn or care about it and outsource code. Look at recent GPL violations for current proof. That and they focus more on crap that has nothing to do with an Operating System.

  18. Why are controls connected? on Massive Power Outages In Brazil Caused By Hackers · · Score: 0

    It is interesting to me that controls are connected to the internet. There is no logical reason why. They used to do this for decades without the internet, why now? If its to connect multiple power companies... VPN with selective routing rights. Specific terminals should be setup for only power grid use. If some lameass is bored with his job give him something else to do or setup another terminal with internet. Cost of security fix? PPpffttt... a few computers and some networking. Ill bet the total cost would be under 100k, and that is generous.

    R U srs? "multi-billion dollar company" and Comcast do not go into the same sentence unless you are saying Comcast is not a multi-billion dollar company. The reality is that TV is facing the same problems as music. Online distribution of materials. Here is the catch... a lot of TV based companies have embraced the medium instead of shunning it. Now companies that deliver the medium are suffering. I canceled all but basic cable and internet with my carrier, why? Because I can see what I want online. I dont have to pay for a ton of channels I dont want or watch like Lifetime or Fox News. The reality is that Cable companies should have gone with the ala carte system along with DVR based technology. Instead they try and gouge the consumer with their bundles of crap. I had 100+ channels to chose from when I had a DVR. I HAD to have 100+ channels. You know how many I watched? 5 of them. Yeah, no thanks you short sited 2 million dollar a year dweeb. You can shove your Consumer behavior changing thoughts up your ass. Im the consumer and I dictate what you deliver, not the other way around.

And dont bring "learning" into this, we have repeated so many mistakes in the US government its not even funny. Iraq/Vietnam comes to mind.

    Where was the tea party during the Bush administration, or those of you crying foul about the Patriot act? What... too "skerd" then? Oh but now... Regardless of what person is in the white house or who is running our government, warrantless wiretaps and Patriot acts should not have gone through and are constitutionally prohibited. The Presidents office has more power thanks to Bush, so we must pick our leaders much more carefully. I support Obama, except for this.
