mixing Oracle terms and MySQL terms, but we all know what I mean in context
Hate to be pedantic here (but lets face it, its the point of slashdot comments), but neither "schema" nor "database" are Mysql, or Oracle, specific terms.
And yes, I publish spf records, no I do not make use of them. They are not useful.
Anyone who makes statements like this truely doesn't understand the purpose of SPF.
Its "sender policy framework" - not "spam prevention framework."
SPF isn't designed to stop spam, why is that so hard to understand? Its just used to make sure that whatever domain an email was sent from, that the envelope sender matches. Thats it. End of discussion.
This doesn't stop spam, but it makes sure that no one can forge an address from your domain, unless it wasr eally sent from your domain.
If everyone respected it, your users wouldn't be getting any more phishing scams from "someuser@paypal.com" - or "attn@bankofamerica.com".
You're going to sit there and tell me that its "not useful" ? Get your head out of the sand.

his 'Acrylic' program by the way isn't a photoshop competitor, it's an Illustrator competitor which means it doesn't compete with Gimp.
Actually, according to TFA, its a bitmap and vector based image manipulation application - meaning it will compete with both photoshop and illustrator simultaneously.
MySQL is "ripping off" established commercial databases now, putting in innovative things like stored procedures, views and UFDs. Does MySQL innovate?
Innovative things like views and UDF's ("user defined function" not "user function definde)? I almost fell out of my chair laughing at that one. Anyone want to guess how long those have been in Microsoft SQL? Anyone?
but xmlHttpRequest has been on the web since at least IE6, and probably earlier
I believe it was IE 5, or 5.5 at the absolute latest.
I don't think giving it a cool name made it popular. I couldn't give a shit what you called it. I'd never seen web applications developed using this model, and it does, truly, let you totally change the way you think about building a lot of web based applications. I've been playing with it for a couple weeks and I haven't even begun to scratch the surface.
I really believe the people that blow it off either haven't ever done any type of web based application development, or just simply don't understand it. I don't see how anyone who's done any extensive web app development wouldn't be pretty excited the first time they really consider the possibilities (be it today, or 5 years ago, I don't care).
Which they have because they are created in an impure environment. Even with current technology one of the ways to identify a man made diamond is that it's "too pure" and "too perfect."
Other diamond manufacturers have already found ways to introduce imperfections into diamonds during the manufacturing process.
...for my grandmother. Or the vast majority of people for that matter. I'm sure its simply to reduce the load on provider's nameservers (not justifying, just explaining). The fewer times they have to update a record the better (for them, insofar as bandwidth and processing power is concerned).
Yes, I run my own DNS at home, luckily, I also run the DNS for my company. So I can at least guarantee we aren't handing out absurdly stale responses.
It really is a sad state of affairs. How much would another nameserver cost to distribute the load? A few thousand bucks? Pathetic, absolutely pathetic.
Just a minor correction. The internet is only 2^32 "big" (until we see a much wider embrace of IPv6). So, to say its unlimited, is a gross misconeception.
Ok, continue the flamefest, sorry for the interruption:)
Looking at the stats, the Samsung 213T looks like a very nice LCD monitor. Still only a 500:1 contrast ratio (versus several thousand for a good CRT, and I have no idea how much the lighting argument can really play into this). It will also only do 1600x1200, and only 16.7M colors? That seems odd to me. Is that 24bit color?
And remember, you can pick up two (2) p220fb's, refurb'ed, grade A, for less than a single Samsung 213T. Although it isn't really fair to compare the new vs. refurbished price. So we'll say $150 cheaper, retail, for a p220fb versus a Samsung 213T.
Now, honestly, which one is best for "most people" ? For the average person, I say, save your money, pickup a decent 17-19" CRT monitor.
I've got a 22" Viewsonic P220fb at home, and a pair of Compaq P920 19's at work where I'm posting this from.
Here's the viewsonic:
http://www.viewsonic.com/products/desktopdisplays/ crtmonitors/proseries/p220f/
I paid about $320 for it, refurbeed, in perfect shape (retail is $650, as noted on the site).
Absolutely gorgeous monitor, and I haven't seen an
LCD that can come close. And yes, I actually do
work in the dark. All monitors obviously look much better in the dark. When I try it at work, people just think I'm weird.:)
Huh? What? For most people its the best choice? Paying two, three, four times as much as a CRT is the best choice for "most people" ? I know you can't specifically be speaking about the quality of the monitor either. You do realize that CRT monitors have anti-glare coatings (or something) nowadays, correct?
Personally, I don't understand how contrast measurements are meaningful on CRTs. Not many people use them in a totally-dark environment, so their visual dynamic range will be severely curtailed by room light reflecting off the phosphor. What makes reflected room light somehow better than LCD backlight bleedthrough?
Don't forget, room lighting has the same affect on an LCD. So, the higher contrast and better (best?) color reproduction you can start out with, the better.
In any real-world environment, the best LCDs are much nicer to work with than the best CRTs. I've spent thousands of hours in front of both.
As have I, and I disagree entirely. Actually I don't know if I have *thousands* of hours staring at an LCD. Easily hundreds, thousands may be stretching it for me personally.
So, since he was a coward, its ok for you to sidestep the responsibility of saving other lives?
Also, a commander, or individual in a position of higher authority than you, is more important in that situation. Should a batallion commander jump on a grenade, and risk costing hundreds, maybe thousands of other lives due to his absence?

LOLNERDALERT!
Haven't used the app ... but those pallettes sure do look ... DOCKABLE!
Hope M$ learned something from the Adobe vs. Macromedia lawsuit.
Can anyone confirm/deny the dockability of the pallettes?
i figured the poster was dripping in irony.
If so, then I apologize, the sarcasm was completely lost on me. Its been a long week.

except, um Corel Photopaint (superior in usability)
I beg to differ, but the market seems to disagree with you on that one.

Javascript was great while there was no other option, but since a while now (nudge nudge php wink wink)

Ok, see, there is a client

And this is just the beginning. Give it 10 more years and no one wil be able to tell the difference.
Oh shit, I stand corrected:
"estoppel by laches" - failure to take legal action until the other party is prejudiced by the delay.
News to me, I apologize.
Um. No. Thats completely wrong.
Estoppel is a bar which prohibits someone from claiming a statement as truth, which has been determined by a legal proceeding to be, in fact, false.
Then there is collateral estoppel which prevents you from raising facts from a lawsuit that was decided against you.
And finally, equitable estoppel, which prevents an individual from taking a stance in a trial different from another legal preceeding.
I can't find any definition of estoppel that has anything to do with the _timing_ of a lawsuit.

Not even close. The CRT they tested, which, admittadly isn't the greatest of the great, had a contrast ratio of (now sit down for this one) ...
9,415 to 1.
Yeah. Read it again. Nine thousand, four hundred and fifteen, to one.
A great LCD is in the 800:1 range.

So, if someone broke into my house, and, in a struggle to defend my wife and children, I was killed - that makes me an idiot also?
I don't see any difference between that and jumping on a grenade - to save the other human being's lives - any different.
Honestly, at this point, you just sound like a selfish coward. Unless I'm missing something.
Unprotected DDNS (dynamic dns registration, Microsoft loves this one)
And also you can feed a slave server your own zone, based on the nameserver configuration, it will work (very rarely).
Saving fellow men, your friends in fact ... makes you an idiot?
Thank god we have all these "idiots" willing to risk their lives to protect you, huh?
