A tax is when the government tells you to pay money.
I bought something from a shop yesterday. That's a tax, because the government made me pay for it. Well, they made it illegal for me to steal it, which comes down to the same thing.
We're all about as expert as anybody in terrorism surveillance, because it's only existed for three years
Can someone explain why terrorism surveillance has only existed for three years? I thought CCTV cameras were invented long before that, and I'm sure terrorism did too. Perhaps us dumbass Brits, Germans and Eyetalians never thought to connect the two together. Thank God for those smart Americans like the one who posted the parent comment via the interweb that their former VP invented.
Are you also sane enough to despise the people who constantly talk up China (or sometimes Russia) as the nation that will, as they put it, "stand up to US imperialism"? Let fatty Moore go and make a film about their governments and see how far he gets. They'll shove a cattle prod up his asshole as soon as they can find it. The big fat fuck.
If all you want to do is serve up web pages, what PHP was primarily created for, then yes, PHP is easier to work with. But if you want to sequence DNA, Perl is the tool for the job.
Ah right. That's what it was intended for. I did wonder.
The shop I work in has two main applications which access the same database. One is a web environment written entirely in Perl where all of the DB logic has been pushed into stored procedures[...]
Contrast this with a mega app written in C which has tons of queries directly in it, a minimum of stored procedures, and a constant stream of bugs because of the morass this has created. The app moves slowly, ponderously, and half the time wrongly.
The system writtemn in C is a 'mega' app? So it's much bigger and more complicated than the other one? Seems we don't have a level playing field here.
Even if the systems were equivalent, your anectodotal argument based on a huge sample of two proves nothing, other than some apps are easier to maintain than others. You could equally well conclude that servers with even (or odd) IP addresses are more reliable.
This might be for nerds, and it might matter, but it sure ain't news.
The big reason a lot of ISPs no longer 'support Usenet' is that the binary groups overwhelmed their bandwidth.
I'm not an expert on news servers, but I suspect it is possible to configure them to carry certain groups and not others. Unless by "ISP" you mean Belgacom, who seem to lack the necessary equipment, to whit a fucking clue.
Google always does things the right way without ruining the user experience or their wallets.
I disagree. It could never follow threads properly (it assumed same title=same thread and different title=different thread) and it sucked for posting - you have to use a real e-mail address and it restricted you to about ten posts a day.
Using Ebay tends to generate a lot of emails. So, when you get invites, sell them on Ebay, and the email that this generates causes you to get more invites, which you then sell on Ebay, etc. etc. etc.
What 'tards modded this funny? Now, if it had said:
I guess we stereoptic folks take this stuff for granted sometimes.
I'm quite short sighted in one eye but it wasn't detected until I was in my teens. If they corrected the bad eye it made me dizzy. As for binoculars, I never saw what the point was because I always kept one eye closed to avoid getting an instant headache.
P.S. If you ever see someone moving his head from side to side, don't assume he's crazy - he might just be a monocular(?) person like me trying to judge depth.

Oh, and are they good or are they whack?
There's a second 's' missing, somewhere...
What's wrong with that is that it doesn't get done. Then you get divided control, which is the same as no control.

Only if you abstract all the data access.
