Yes, speak authoritatively to an unknown audience when you haven't read the spec or used the language.... The whole _POINT_ of D is to refactor C++/C99 while removing some very serious problems. It does a very good job of this. I don't know what you're talking about "but still suffers in many ways from their flaws"
Have any of you actually used the language yet? It's not a hack. By merging all these useful features to begin with a very useable result was attained. In the time you spent with that post you could have actually read the language specification.
String theory is certainly interesting, although I'm not sure is fulfills the requirements I listed. However, I do freely admit I'm no string theory expert.
Also, You're right, I am thinking a literal nothing, which includes no rules either. Rules, while meta-something are still something.
At some point there was nothing. From nothing, nothing comes. Science cannot explain _ever_ why anything would come into existance at all (be it oscilating or otherwise.) If Nothing, the only way for something to come into existance is for it to be self-consistent and self-forming. No current accepted, or unaccepted theory, (to my knowledge) of physics allows for the universe to hold these properties.
Now, this doesn't imply God. You are correct in that. It however does imply something created itself and was allowed to the rules it is governed by, and then created the universe. Sentient or otherwise.
At least somebody around here isn't a hater:)
Seriously, I'd rather use postgres than this shit -- and it's free. Recovering your server after an OS failure if the drive names change is annoying to say the least. I've had nothing but trouble with all of it. On top of that it's statistical and analytical features are pathetic.
The best part is the new Enterprise Manager replacement. Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (say that three times fast) has a tendency to rewrite queries for saved views using their tools instead of raw SQL statements. I wrote up some _valid_ sql in the view editor and saved it and it rewrote it into a bunch of garbage that didn't work right. (This happens quite alot, aside from it changing my indentation and screwing it up so you can't read it)
That mirroring features is a pain in the ass to get working for smaller shops that don't use domains. It only works on a single database at a time. Guess what.. users stored in that database are mapped to logins using SIDs, those logins don't get mirrored though..... You have to fix everything with the logins if you want to go swap over to the secondary server. It's a particular issue I'm dealing with right now.
The main thing I was griping about though was the lack of analytical features compared to postgres, or even oracle. Try doing a running average without a cross join. -- Good luck.
Okay, I'll give you one real example:
SQL Server didn't even have ANY windowing functions until 2005, and they're still seriously crippled compared to Oracles -- even postgres as better analytical capabilities. Try doing a moving average WITHOUT a cross join -- Good luck.
SQL Server is actually pretty decent -- until you start comparing it to things like Oracle and Postgres.
Did they also mention that Oracle has 300 times as many useful analytical features as SQL Server? I use SQL Server 2005 at work and it's pathetic. Postgres is more useful!
Your website is ridiculous. I'm all against corporations but your lists include ridiculous things which are not by any means "Malfeciance"
A class-action suit was filed against Apple over the illegal bundling of iTunes with iPod. This practice is anti-competitive.
So they should just leave you up shit creek without a paddle? Every single Mp3 player comes with some form of software to handle loading music on to it.
Apple's iPod has been found to come with a virus called RavMonE. CNet story.
What does this have to do with anything other than you hate Apple?
There is a class-action lawsuit against Apple that claims that permanent hearing loss can occur due to their iPod ear buds' design. Link1 Link2.
Gasp?! Loud music can hurt your hearing?!
Non-Americans should realize these are essentially legalized bribery of public officials. Jobs gave money to Edward Kennedy who is no friend of US workers. Kennedy has worked to increase the number of foreign tech workers who can come to the USA (by raising the visa cap) alongside Republicans, at a time when unemployment in the tech industry is probably far above 25%.
Complete malarky. I don't see any DOD contracts going to Apple or any laws being passed in their favor. They'd be financing republicans too if they were interested in visa caps.
Some of what you say is valid, but cut the crap out. It makes you look foolish.
You haven't read the bible, have you?
Those fanatics you are talking about do quite the opposite of what that book tells them to do. They fixate on one scripture taken out of context instead of taking the whole thing. Which is exactly the opposite of what you're saying. Not to mention there's nothing in there about stoning your neighbor for eating fish on tuesday, or hating gays.
What exactly do you think these mean?
You have heard that it was said, "Love your neighbor and hate your enemy."
But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves
Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
Do you find something unsatisfactory with those statements? I could go on and on for you, if you'd like.
It would be grand if people would start reading the bible and putting it to practice. "Christians" included.
Does it really matter if it's wrong or not? Do you have sex with a random person and not wear a condom just because they might not have AIDS? If so you're an idiot and have no business making decisions for the rest of us.
It is completely rational to do something about these *unnatural* amounts of Co2 we're spewing into the atmosphere as we have no idea what they're ultimately going to end up doing. Aside from Co2 there's lots of other KNOWN bad chemicals we're spewing out too.
Quite honestly I think this ask slashdot is a troll paid for by some stupid thinktank, just like the article they refer to...
Stored procedures are not the end all be-all if you have to execute any dynamic sql inside of them.
For example. in T-SQL I have to do this occasionally.
DECLARE @sql VARCHAR(8000)
SET @sql = 'SELECT * FROM ' + @tabName
EXEC @sql
There is a method for parameterizing SQL via EXECSQL or somsuch, can't remember off the top of my head. But if for some reason a column or table name needs to be dynamically added to a query: obviously you can't use those.
While I don't like this, I didn't decide the database so don't blame me for the stupidity.
That is still a text literal _IN THE DATABASE_ He's referring to forcing you to use paramterized queries EVERYWHERE:
@name = '; DROP TABLE users; SELECT * FROM othertable WHERE something='
SELECT * FROM users WHERE name=@name
^-- This does stop sql injection, because the database doesn't consider @name to be part of the SQL.

That still doesn't make any sense. We're talking about making database connections.
Strange, I've never seen a green woman. What country do they come from? Maybe they just eat a lot of spinach?

You need to read about expansion. Here's a quick link for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_of_space
Oh, and yes, I am a physicist.

Yes yes.... Let the vitriol flow through you. Your transformation is almost complete.

How about Steve Jobs for president? :P /sarcasm

Oh man. If only I had mod points! +5 funny.
Exactly what I was thinking. Do they plan to push the moon back a little closer when it gets too far away or something?

What are you talking about? I have one in my pocket.
Estrogen challenged? Is that like you have too much estrogen and not enough testosterone?
What a bunch of bullshit. I have no fear of snakes. You might as well talk about spiders. Young boys are always going around catching snakes.
So you're declaring two string instances then yes? new String( "Foo" -- #1 ) -- #2

This doesn't fix the problem as there are some vulnerabilities in it with regards to unicode.
