We have early word that the security vulnerability goes by the name "Internet Explorer". Details are thin at this time, but we'll have more as the story develops. Janet, back to you in the studio.
How on earth is this modded Troll? I personally agree with the sentiment. Physical effects and good old fashioned compositing almost always create a more compelling, stylized look. The ingenuity and reality involved in creating such effects is far more impressive, if you ask me. Hell, Ghostbusters is 25 years old, and I still think the special effects are phenomenal.
Opera Mini works great on Windows Mobile, provided you've got something to run Java (my phone has Esmertec Jbed). I actually use it more than any other browser on my phone, simply because it's so much faster than anything else.
But, if you MD5 the stock symbol you get an even distribution based on the first two hash characters to put the historical data into 256 tables.
That works great until you decide to use the R in RDBMS and actually join some tables. Plus you'd be using all sorts of dynamic SQL to allow every query to pick the appropriate table, putting yourself at risk of SQL injection vulnerabilities. You don't want a bunch of interns coding dynamic SQL against a system big enough and important enough to warrant this kind of data partitioning.
If you really need to split a single table's data across multiple file/disk systems, use a DBMS that supports this at the physical storage level, rather than forcing you to do it logically with 256 tables. SQL Server, for example, allows creating file groups, which can contain multiple files on different file systems. Assign a table to a specific file group, and it will get spread across all those files. Or if you need finer control, use table partitioning which allows you to pick which file group each specific range of data is stored in. This works great, because the data is physically stored as though it were in multiple tables/indexes, allowing you to very quickly narrow your searches based on the partitioning key, and thus isolating all the I/O to a specific partition.
But 256 separate tables? Egad. It's irritating enough working with our ERP system, which splits most data into separate "open" and "historic" tables. If I had to deal with 256 of them, I'd probably quit.
I distinctly remember having problems joining two Windows 2003 VMs (using copied disk images) to a Windows 2003 domain (also running on a VM using that same copied disk image). I was setting up a test environment for SQL Server 2005 clustering at the time. I recall there was a very specific reason that I ended up using NewSID on those VMs.
Anybody able to jog my memory/correct me?
Granted, their version used something like Airsoft pellets rather than live rounds, but the idea was the same. Kind of a fun game, if you ignore the pellets that keep bouncing off the target and hitting you in the face...
So let me get this straight: a meteor strikes a boy's hand, bounces off, and then impacts the ground with enough force to make a 1 ft crater in the ground, and a noise loud enough to leave his ears ringing for hours.
Somehow, I think any object with enough kinetic energy to do that kind of damage to the road would have completely obliterated a soft, fleshy hand, or at least blown clear through it. But just leaving a 3 inch scar and bouncing off, yet packing enough force to knock him to the ground? No way. Not unless this kid is Iron Man.

Their first story will probably be that they've killed themselves.
That would probably be my reaction, anyway.
It's time to kick ass and burn rubber. And I'm all out of rubber.
Wow, am I ever glad I don't have to tell people I live on "the cul-de-sac Off Felch Road".
Zero. We've lost him.
As somebody who's attempted to write object-oriented Javascript code, my response would be GOD NO.

I've (fortunately) yet to see a web browser that lets you apply a font to its status bar via CSS.
Catching mice that get in my house is enough of a pain, but now I have to snag the bastards while they're rocket jumping? Thanks, jerks.
In fact, I think I'll send them an email right now to let them know.
Namely, Eric Idle stepping out of a refrigerator wearing a pink suit.
Nuclear E. coli can be used to clean up human waste. So everybody's a winner.
I see we have a volunteer for explaining that to a fuming exec that can't get his email at 5:00 PM.

Some info on the game.
Nah, Steve Jobs with Hypnotoad eyes would be more appropriate.
Sure, but then what are we going to do with a giant, slimy umbrella?
It's the second bullet-point down from "feeding the fish while you're away".
On the contrary, now you'll be able to purchase tinfoil hats that also play cheerful music.
I mean, usually you can't upgrade the components in Apple stuff very easily.
In all seriousness, though, I wish him well. Sounds like an unpleasant ordeal.
