  1. Re:MySQL? on MySQL to Get Injection of Google Code · · Score: 0, Troll

    I've found that foreign keys are only really useful for incompetent database designers.

    As you can plainly see, MySQL works fine without them.
    The biggest websites on the internet use it.

    The video looks like burning hydrogen to me.

    The IMAP servers are good but the protocol is horrible.

    Um...I dont quite understand why you need support for email.
    If it works (which Gmail does) then there isnt really any need for it.

  5. Re:Labels or Folders? on Free IMAP On Gmail · · Score: 1

    Gmail implements them as folders.

    Also dragging stuff in to the spam folder is the same as marking it as spam.

    Ever turned on a new feature on a few hundred thousand servers?
    Thought not.

    I assume that it will take up to a week for them to roll it out to everyone.

    Its Google. A million connections is nothing. :P

    IMAP is a horrible protocol. Works brilliantly but its a absolute nightmare to implement.

    If you use premium you can import from existing email accounts easily.
    Dont think its available for free users though.

    Is there any particular reason you were modded 'Interesting'? ;)

  12. Re:Q2 LMCTF was the high point for me. on Games All Downhill Since Pong? · · Score: 1

    There are two types of gamers: The types who enjoy gaming and the types who follow the latest fad.

    Unfortunately the former is tiny compared to the latter hence why you have difficulty finding ET players.

    Everyone who disagrees with this article is the latter.
    Pong completely obliviates 99.9% of modern games in terms of game play and fun.
    Mind you I personally preferred Asteroids and Space Invaders more but Pong was still good.

  13. Re:Hmm, OK... on Games All Downhill Since Pong? · · Score: 1

    I disagree. Asteroids gives it a run for its money. ;)

    I've heard the sky is falling. It seems pretty stable right now but I'll be keeping a eye on it.

    Not to mention that air travel is far safer than getting in a car.

    I believe disagreeing with the EULA is also protected.
    I just copy pasted from a pdf.

    The crashing is always because of a program on it. Remove the program and it'll work fine again.

    The trick is figuring out which program is causing it.

    For Queensland (where I am) they are as follows:

    * Faulty Goods
    * Wrongly Described
    * Different from a sample shown
    * Doesn't do what its supposed to do.

    Other Australian states are very similar.

    Its amusing to think of how many Microsoft products you could return if you wanted to be a bastard. ;)
    Not to mention if you get a stupid person behind the counter.

  19. Re:He communicates that he does not care. on Stallman Attacked by Ninjas · · Score: 1

    There is a slight distinction to be made.

    He cares about other people. Thats what most of his speeches are about.
    He doesnt care what other people think about him however.

    Its a good attitude to have when your someone like him.
    If he cared what other people thought about him then his views would be far more conservative incase he pisses someone off.

  20. Re:This CAN be stopped on Hellgate Beta's In-Game Ads Raise Eyebrows · · Score: 1

    Thats certainly not the case in Australia.
    The same rules apply regardless of the item: whether its a Ferrari or a CD.

    Of course its up to the store if you just change your mind.
    The law only protects you when your not at fault.

    There are free programs around which also fix it.
    It involves changing the touch screen's refresh frequency.

    Dont know about the noise from the amplifier. My Lifedrive has great audio.

    I remember going up to the Pilot as a kid. Great experience.

    I love my Lifedrive.

    Mind you its about double the thickness of a TX but its extremely useful with its built in hard drive.
    Movies and music galore. :)

  24. Re:This CAN be stopped on Hellgate Beta's In-Game Ads Raise Eyebrows · · Score: 1, Troll

    In Australia the return laws are extremely tough on the store.
    "We dont take returns" signs are actually illegal.

    The store *must* accept a return if certain criteria is met.

    Of course this probably isnt true in the USA but I think civilized nations (e.g. Europe and Canada) have similar laws.
