Depends on your driving habits. I speed. I also haven't (knock wood) gotten in an accident in 10 years, and I haven't received a ticked in four (in my province). Does that not make me a safe driver? I don't think so personally.
Great word to use; it has negative connotations even if you use it out of the legalease context. It's basically a trap to get you to give up your civil rights in exchange for a discount.
Which of course really translates into a surcharge if your unwilling to give up your civil liberties.
Anyone else notice how cops are immune to DUI laws? We used to own a restaurant in Vancouver. When the cops came in, it was friggin' christmas for us. Fifty drunk cops acting like asses. Then when it came time to leave you'd get the response "I'm a cop, I don't lose my license if I get stopped at a road block; they just follow me home"

I have the same condition. I lost my stereoscopic vision too. I failed all the depth tests when getting my drivers license. Like you, I use depth cues and and unconcious stuff. It sucks that you can't do some stuff like fly a plane or whatever.
Thing is, I just went to Disneyland recently, and the 3d technology has improved and I can see it now for some reason. The red / blue crap doesn't work, and the 3d posters don't either, but I can now see 3d in movies like A bug's life (IMHO an awesome 3d experience). I never used to be able to see those either....
When my opthalmologist asks me to touch the 3d insect, my finger still goes right to the book every time.
Yeah, you're right... My knowledge of PGSQL lacks behind my knowledge of SQL Server, Sybase, and MySQL... Friggin' hate MySQL though. Stupd non-ansi syntax.
The term function and stored procedure for Postgres is used synonymousouly. However I disagree with that and you're right about the execution plan. However in the world of enterprise RDBMS's, that's one of the key points about stored procs is the ability to cache the execution plan of a stored proc; Oracle, MSSQL, Sybase, etc.
Anyway a view a stored proc. That's all I was getting at. the rest of it was fluff:)
Actually Nero gives you the option to verify what you've recorded if you like.
That's why nero's so great. It's about options. You can burn almost anything in Nero, and it's always kept updated. Nero updates are way more frequent than EZCD.
EZCD is good for N00bs. Thing is, i've convinced every n00b I know to switch to Nero with a five minute tutorial.
First-Past-The-Post wins... And conversely market share wins.
Ebay wins because it's the best place to go to get market value for your product. If you want to sell something, your best chance is eBay. More bidders = more sellers = even more bidders = even more sellers, etc etc...
iTunes wins because it has the most consumers for the record labels. It has the purchasing power over the record labels, not Napster. iTunes can get the record companies to drool over their market share.
Not necessarily dumb IMHO. See, what they are doing is getting money against the future sales of EZCD (at some reduced percentage) to finance operations of Napster. It's actually a smart move to increase working capital today.
I still think it's doomed, but adding the capital from it is a good business idea if they want the Napster idea to take off.
Views do not cache execution plans like stored proccedures do, and views cannot accept parameters.
Stored Procs cache the execution plan and accept parameters. Huge difference.
IMHO Functions are closer to it than views.
AFAIK, PostgreSQL can't return recordsets from stored procedures. Really, you shouldn't have to IMHO. Stored procedures are really important for inserts and updates, and transaction locking and stuff. That's the critical use for stored procs. Returning recordset is a nice-to-have, but you can make due without.
Still better than any MySQL support for stored procs anyway.
Basically the editors are assuming it's bad because in a sea of competition, Napster's at the back of the heap. iTunes benefits from first-past-the-post, and a tonne of working capital. Microsoft's will benefit from their monopoly and a tonne of Capital. Really, Napster has less money than most of its competitors, and the competition's become very cutthroat.
It's gone from a non existant market to a highly competitive one. Good luck. Nero's way better than EZCD anyway. Less bloatware garbage gui crap than EZCD IMHO.
IANAL, but unlike the rest of North America, AFAIK Quebec has a civil law system instead of a common law system. it's a bit more complicated when you leave Quebec. As far as I understand, Quebec case law cannot be precedent for the rest of Canada because of the drastic differences.
No, what I'm saying is that the gun-related deaths per-capita rate is insanely higher than the rest of the world. That's all. The violent attitude towards guns is vastly different south of the 49th parallel, than it is north of the 49th.
Semantics. Does it really change the meaning of what I wrote?
My point was it isn't the guns; it's the violent behaviour that's the root of the problems. We have moderate laws towards rifles and shotguns, and haven't nearly the same amount of problems that America has. The only thing we disallow is semi-automatic or fully automatic.
And the funny part is that we get the same media that America does, so blaming TV and movies is horse shit too.
Don't forget the Assault weapon ban is about to expire, and Dubya hasn't commited to renewing it yet.
Here in Canada we have some lax gun laws too, but not as bad as America - you can't own a semi-automatic machine gun.
Our per-capita gun ownership is really high -> one in three families have a firearm. However our gun related death rate per capita pales in comparison to the US. We use our guns to kill Moose and Bears, rather than our fellow man. It's the nature of our country to need guns.
You need to look at the attitude of the nation towards violence, rather than at the gun control laws. If y'all behave like a bunch of redneck hillbillies, then you shouldn't have guns.
Unless you pay with plastic. You're name's on the card. They may not have your address, but they know who you are, and what you've been spending at what stores.
I love the fact that these "register-only" companies still want to score high with Google. Thank god for Google cache. It kinda renders the registration useless. I feel all warm and fuzzy every time I don't have to register:)
A fine example of corporate greed out there wanting its cake and eating it too. Registered content shouldn't be indexed by search engines, or should be explicitly marked as register only.

The ACLU will be all over this one.

Friggin' crock of shit if you ask me.
Bingo! Charging a surcharge if you're not willing to give up your civil liberties is illegal isn't it?
This can be easily contested.
Nope: That's only one definition

Argh! 1. Get insulted on slashdot 2. Sue Slashdot and those who insulted 3. ??? 4. Profit!
And the most important part of suing for Libel and Slander: Damages. A good lawyer will put his asshat on and quantify bullshit.
Truth is, if I call you a dipshit, and it turns out you are not a dipshit, and I was slandering you, you still need to prove damages.
Thing is, American courts seem to be way too liberal in their judgements.
Better the patent be in the hands of someone who doesn't intend to use it, rather than a shell company patent holder like SCO right?
:)
I mean, in a way IBM's stockpiling on patents protects Linux, as strange as it sounds. I for one welcome our big blue overlords
" IE 'patch', which normally are around 7 MB or so."
To quote a previous poster: "Name them".
Did you do the math in your head to get 7MB or so as an average? IIRC most patches (except service packs) are 1MB. More like 150k from what I recall.
AFAIK with Patriot Act the police no longer need a warrant. Take that step out of the equation at least...
