    table inheritance

    Not supported, and for a good reason. It adds no value, only complexity. What can you get from table inheritance that you cannot get from views and more simply? Also completely breaks Postgres' referential integrity (oops).

    I'm in high school, so I can do whatever I want as long as I pass... no one's paying me, so no one cares.

    It is comforting to know that when we make first contact with the aliens, we might not be able to communicate, but we'll definitely be able to fool their spam filters.

  5. Re:Java? on PHP 5 Objects, Patterns and Practice · · Score: 2, Funny

    So clearly The Art of Computer Programming is only valuable if you plan to write code targeting the popular MMIX platform.

  6. Re:More important on Yahoo Passes Google in Total Items Searched · · Score: 1
    Raw productivity is measured in KLOC's. Efficiency divides KLOC by bug re-open rates and some factor proportional to the asymptotic performance of the code with respect to relevant resources (e.g. time, space).

    The analogous metrics in the search engine space are recall and precision.

    It's not clear just from a raw indexed number whether just recall or both recall and precision have been improved. Clearly the latter is the holy grail.

  7. Re:Phrack..... on Final Phrack Released ... Until the Next One · · Score: 1

    Disagree. Over the years, Phrack has gotten so lame, even Traxster can see it.

    Pick a random number generator that is only easy for YOU to remember.

    You're right - what's the ESRB rating for educational games?

    I'm willing to bet that Blu-Ray and HD-DVD are going to go the way of DVD-Audio and SACD
    That begs the question, what is the HDTV equivalent to a mediocre surround-sound remaster of a classic rock album that was a lackluster production to begin with?

    I am imagining 2 hours of multiple-angle views of a tweaked Lynyrd Skynyrd sweating profusely in Birmingham and tripping over the chords to Free Bird.

  12. Re:Waste of time... on When Webmasters Get Phished? · · Score: 2, Funny

    If you have figured out a way to expand time, energy, and money, then I'd say the downtime was worth it and you'll make up your losses in short order.

  13. Re:Thinly Veiled Job Request on The New C Standard · · Score: 1
    the only reasona for knowing C today is to interact on a close level with the machine
    Bullshit. As anyone who's interviewed for a coding job in the past 20 years can tell you, the real reason to know C is because it's the gold standard language for reversing strings.

    Today, when I look at a beer or a hot woman, I stop working in my entirety, so it might be an improvement.

    More accurately, Firefox shipped with a non-ActiveX-based XMLHttpRequest object, which brought AJAX to the rest of the non-IE world.

    The word in the call centers is that the culture in the U.S. is to condescend until you're back in your comfort zone.

    This week it was 40C (104F) in the factory I work in. On top of this, I was wearing a thick protective suit and a full helmet, and doing hard labour. Yet I didn't complain about it. I think you're just soft. You're probably an office worker who loses his erection if the ambient conditions aren't absolutely perfect.
    Haha, I get it! You are trying to tell him that you are a human phallus!

  25. Re:not a portal? on Google vs. Yahoo: On a Collision Course · · Score: 1
    Yahoo buys companies so that 1) they can at least move in the direction of an AOL-styled walled-garden area, 2) so they can overall have more page-views and thus have more advertising space, and 3) so they can "synergize" between the offerings to advertise between them and generally present a unified web presence.
    Are you sure?
