No one knows for sure because the oil/gas companies won't tell us what they are pumping into the ground around our well water.
And if you claim there's no evidence things are getting into the water table, you are ignoring a lot of data out there.

Really? More than fracking ever could? So you know the toxins and carcinogens in the fracking fluid aren't that bad? How exactly do you know? The oil/gas companies won't tell the components to anyone. (hint, it's your wild speculation, based on nothing much)
I need an example, because as I said, pedants talk all the time about how SQL doesn't truely follow the relational model of Date and Codd, but never provide a working alternative that does. I said nothing about syntax at all. I make no claim that SQL syntax is great or better than any other. I said I want to see a workable database that follows the *model* correctly/completely. I've only looked at their site for a few minutes, but I seen nothing that indicates they follow the model any better. Only that they like their syntax better, and is object oriented. Neither have any bearing on following Date/Codd's model.
If that worked well, in the past several decades someone would have come up with a working implementation that's usable. They haven't.
Every time SQL comes up, some pedant always comes along saying how aweful SQL is because it doesn't correctly implement the relational model. When asked to provide an alternative database system that does correctly follow Date, they have no answer, because there isn't anything available that's better than SQL.
That being said, for the desktop I've moved to Mint, because Ubuntu doesn't appear to listen to a large chunk of users like me who hate, hate, hate Unity.
Maybe if you have a tablet. It's a HUGE waste of space, extra mouse travel, and generally crappage on a desktop wiht a large monitor. I'm slowly moving all the machines I use to Linux Mint. Still Debian based, but with a sane interface for a desktop with a 24" monitor.
The point is, you shouldn't have to freaking google to find out what the heck an article is about. The brain-dead submitter, or brain-dead 'editor' should be clarifying anything that isn't very common everyday tech lingo/acronyms.
Sorry, BSD is not a punch in the nose. They can't take an open source work and make it proprietary. They can make a COPY of the open source work proprietary. The open source work itself is still open. Anyone can get a copy of the open work and use it to do whatever they like. They don't take anything away from you by making their own private copy.
Valve has excellent reduced pricing a while after release, and regular sales that make it nice for poorer folks to buy games. This thing is just a good way to filter out the griefers a bit.
Yes, yes. I guess somone in the U.K. would never be able to type in Braille unless they spend ungodly amounts of money for all the complex new high-tech gizmos.
In 2009, member stations derived 6% of their revenue from federal, state and local government funding, 10% of their revenue from CPB grants, and 14% of their revenue from universities.[18][23] While NPR does not receive any direct federal funding, it does receive a small number of competitive grants from CPB and federal agencies like the Department of Education and the Department of Commerce. This funding amounts to approximately 2% of NPRâ(TM)s overall revenues.
The nearest library to the house where I grew up is 10 miles away in another city. You assume the poor folks in the neighbourhood are going to just have to walk that each way every night because because there are no buses or other public transport in the country, and if they can't afford net access, they can't afford the extra 100 miles of gas a week either.
"Serving poor people is not an excuse for failing to upgrade your technology".
Yes it is an excuse when you fail to actually think about what you are talking about, and put a huge extra burden on the poor because of your rather stupid assumptions.
Who said I was mad? You are inferring a lot. I said it was horribly mismanaged. It was. Sorry to burst your wildly speculative bubble, but I'm not angry at all about it at all. I'm just stating that there is every bit as bad of mismanagement in the private sector as in government. That's just the way it is when people run things, be they public or private. As for 'why do I care'? You brought up the topic of public vs private mismanagement. Can't you even remember your previous post? I think you might need some medication.

DO you even know what chemicals are in there?

There's lots of fracking going on on Ohio. Some of it just a few miles down the road from me.

Don't hold back. What is the name of the working implementation, and where can I buy/download it from?
"And you probably need to code it into a stored procedure".
Probably a good idea. SQL injection worries go away right there if done properly.

sigh, posted as plain text and lost the snark.
Yeah, I mean what good do they do except for all that silly security stuff, like providing us with SSH and stuff.
Ubuntu has their LTS (Long Term Support) releases for that.

It's not as automated, but it's still possible.

Maemo/Meego was just getting good when they killed it. If they would have offered the N950 to consumers, I would have got one in a heartbeat.

Oh wait, they've been doing it for about a hundred years now...

Does the government 'own' all churchs?
After all, isn't NPR pretty much government funded?
Only as far as morons who listen to FOX news are concerned. To the world based in reality, no.

It's called MySQL.
It was a request by all the vendors who pay for the slashvertisements we've had lately. Err, I mean 'stories'.

And how much for the dial-up access each month? When the bank account is empty at the end of each month, net access becomes a luxury.
