Oddly enough, I am also looking at KnowledgeTree. Very inexpensive and well put together system. What exactly is your problem with mysql in this instance?
I'd also be interested in hearing more about your view of KnowledgeTree as a whole. I was very impressed with its Office integration and overall ease of use compared with more expensive products.
To the mod... perfectly on topic. Let me break it down slowly for you. We have various agencies offering tax breaks and increased spending to help the economy. The reality is that spending Trillions more than you bring in may help short-term. However, long term we have to work harder just to pay the debt we owe everyone.
Now, if Mr. Smith not receiving any benefit from the overspending, he rightly goes "Hey, it isn't right to put me into debt so you can benefit". But, throw him a bone, and suddenly he is content with the overspending and gladly puts the ring through his nose.
Fast forward a generation, and the bill catches up with us. We spend more time just to pay off old debts, and less for investing in the future. Countries who lent us the money have more to spend on capital projects. Soon we are a 2nd world country.
It is already happening. And seeing the collective orgasm over a $200 credit illustrates it beautifully.
Bottom line: tax cuts are nice. But you have to pay for them. Either now. Or later.
America has become a land of pigs willing to watch our nation crumble as long as the farmer keeps feeding us our slop. It is amazing how we don't care about trillions upon trillions of debt and not trillions in single-year deficits... as long as somehow, we are getting a share of the handouts. The sad part is that the slop we are receiving is not real... it is an illusion. It won't be long before we are bankrupt. And we have done it to ourselves.
I would argue it might upset him more. I mean, this is his work. You do not get to this level without putting a lot of your heart and soul into it. To be convinced that you are on the edge of a major discovery only to have it rejected has to be disheartening.
How much does it have to suck to die, with your observations being discredited, and your claims laughed at? Then a decade later, the scientific community goes "oops, you were right".
And now, in Slashdot's infinite wisdom, I am required to wait five minutes between posts.
Why securing a PHP application would be any different than securing an application written in any other language. I mean is PHP really the only language where you need to sanitize database inputs? Or is this just another principles of security where they inserted code snippets from [insert your language here].
I am not sure why the above post is funny. It is actually true. The follow up to the story was the guy actually read his account number on the bill and figured that is the amount of the bill. Great journalism.... how hard would it have been for the journalist to look at the bill and go "ummmmm.... dude... you are not smart". Instead, this stroy circulated for about 24 hours in different media outlets.
I find it amazing what can be done with so little power. 240 watts? I'm looking around my office and figuring the lights use about twice that. This thing is cruising around mars, keeping itself warm, sending information to Earth. No real point to this post except to express my amazement.
From a purely human point of view, competition makes us try harder. You may not like it, but it is the truth.
From a purely scientific point of view, repeatability is an important thing. Having more than one experiment confirming the results isn't just a good thing, it is a requirement of science.
In school, i was not allowed to use an Encyclopedia as a source of a research paper, period. Perhaps my education was different than yours. But, I was told that a source like an encyclopedia may be used as to find further reference material. The concept was that the encyclopedia is not a primary source and should not be used as such. Is this not the general standard for research papers?
Because I can vote for my government officials. Corporations exist to increase the public wealth. Government is supposed to set the boundaries that they can operate in. If Microsoft uses its monopoly position to stifle competition, it is the government who should step in. Saying "please be nice, Microsoft" would be rather unproductive.
Thanks for you obviously well reasoned argument. No one thinks it is okay for Egypt to torture anyone. However, if you operate in a country, you better follow the laws there. If an ISP is required by a court order to turn someone in who is looking at naked 17-year olds, they better do so. Even if someone's opinion is that there is nothing wrong with this.
I don't want companies setting legal boundaries. If we don't like Egypt's was of running things, then we apply pressure on a governmental level, not through proxies because we are too big of wusses to address the issue ourselves.
For me, I figure we have enough problems to address here in the U.S. to keep us busy for a while.
I hate to bring this to the attention of the nerd community.... the world existed before the explosion of the internet. This is hard to believe, but true. I have it on good authority that the world started sometime in the 1920's.
That being said, this type of problem existed long before the internet "Person A" starts a rumor. Others pick up on it, and a reporter who talks to "Person A" gets his story confirmed by others who heard the story from Person A. Not new. Not news. The speed of things has definitely sped up in the last decade, but this happened also with the invention of the telephone, telegraph and television.
Also, another nice fact. Wikipedia is not your research center. It is a place to start. If you are using it as a source for your research paper, you should get an F.
save users a heap of bandwidth and build the entire Internet into the browser. Mozilla: the only browser that doesn't need a 'net connection! It'd have around the same amount of bloat.
Parent is not a troll. This is about the first thing I thought of when I read the summary.

I could have sworn I turned off idle in my preferences...
Just a seconds?

Please mod my post down. It is not informative. It is actually wrong as pointed out by others.

Yes. But you cannot be nominated posthumously. So in this case, the guy is out of luck.

I've been to Quebec... not sure your post is true.
I wish to heck I knew how the mod point system worked. I used to get them on a weekly basis. Haven't had any in over a year now.

Turns out that the guy got an account number confused for the bill.
A "Whoosh" to you, and two "Whooshes" to the moderator who tagged you insightful.
Hey, noob. They did NOT sing happy birthday to him. Try RTFS next time.
(and thanks, Slashdot for your excellent coding where I have to wait 5 minutes between posts, despite having Excellent karma)
They sang Happy Birthday to Steve! My life is now complete that I got to hear this great news.
But what happens when they get sued because they don't own the rights to that song....

I doubt kdawson has ever read a submission in its entirety.
