  1. Re:I think you need to speed up the silences... on New Generation of MP3 Players, New Features · · Score: 1

    One of the Cabaret Voltaire albums used this; you knew something wasn't 'right' but you couldn't be sure what it was.

  2. Re:Outlook Web Access = IE, != Anything Else on Getting Your Company to Migrate from IE? · · Score: 1

    Safari works, though only as long as the emails aren't in Rich Text (the locked-down default where I work).

  3. Re:Well umm on What Was Your Worst Computer Accident? · · Score: 1

    A friend put a loop into a report and almost got fired for it. He worked in a government office where the printers were in a seperate building and any print-out was brought over hourly; he didn't know anything was wrong until they brought an out of schedule cart just for him, and asked him to sign an expenses form for the extra boxes of paper his report was using.

  4. Doesn't your company back-up anything else? on Bulk Data Storage For The Common Man? · · Score: 1

    That amount of data has to be a company, not a common man.

    An April fools programme on NPR: http://www.npr.org/features/feature.php?wfId=18056 51

  6. Re:MultiValue on SQL, XML, and the Relational Database Model · · Score: 1

    MV databases work well with XML because of already using delimiters to seperate fields, and becuase of treating everything as a string. As for being the best for everything else - well, it's an easily modified data structure and can be changed to suit whatever reality throws at it, without requiring a major redesign. Which is also it's weakness - the programmer has more control and authority than any database designer, analyst, or manager.

  7. Re:What ever happen to Pick on SQL, XML, and the Relational Database Model · · Score: 1

    Still out there, being used by thousands of companies in every industry. But as it's not relational, and has always suffered from poor publicity, it hardly ever gets mentioned.

  8. Re:Fremont Solstice Parade on War Kayaking · · Score: 1

    Hey, that's an idea - WarFloat. I'd been wondering what to do for next year.

    The closest lake to the center of the Universe, must be a special place.

    The same weekend was the Fremont Solstice Parade and fair. http://www.scn.org/fremont/fac/solstice.htm

  11. Re:Sounds on wheels on iPod Your BMW Officially Launched · · Score: 2, Informative

    There was a campaign for iPods and new beetles, but that was just a fancy cup/iPod holder.

  12. Re:HIPAA on An Analysis Of Email Disclaimers · · Score: 1

    Pretty similar to ours - though we only have a suggested version, and can make whatever changes we see fit. Still doesn't stop people adding it to one-line internal messages with no confidential data. I would have thought HIPAA itself would have a standard version.

  13. Re:Reliability not there yet on Suggestions for a Home VOIP Provider? · · Score: 1

    We've found that if you're paying automatically by credit card, then when the expiration date for the card come round some of the services get suspended. Tell them the expiration date from the replacement card and the services go back on.
