"Spin" is just euphemism for 'lying' and/or 'exaggeration'. As someone who was once an avid poker player, I can tell you that everyone has little 'tells'. See the movie "Maverick" for information about tells. Even the best of the best bullshitters have tells. Another of Bill Clinton's tells is that he bites his lower lip when he's about to lie.
Think about what you get when the following technologies converge: -- IP Traceback -- VOIP Interception -- Keylogging -- Deep Packet Analysis -- Automatic Vehicle License Plate Identification -- Public/Metro Transit Card Tracking
I think you need to look up the meeting of the word "state."
I think you need to look up the meaning of the word "meeting". And possibly the meaning of the word "meaning." And possibly understand the difference in pronunciation between the letters 't' and 'n'.
I'm always fascinated by how IT people frequently consider themselves experts on everything under the sun.
Well, the thing is that geeks/hackers tend to be more well-read than most of the rest of the world. There are many 'IT people' who are more well-read than most liberal arts majors.
No one can be an expert about everything, but it is possible to know at least a little about a lot. Aerospace engineering is not unlike hacking -- engineers often have the right mindset to do software development (though the reverse isn't always true).
Which, for the benefit of those who have never used 7-Zip, fully supports unpacking RAR archives out of the box without having to have unrar or WinRAR at all.
Now if you want to make RAR files, then you'll need rar or WinRAR. But also you should note that 7-Zip's native 7z format gets rather better compression than RAR.;)
both parties will get their "cater to the base" points in for bringing it up and bickering about it.
Except where it counts -- swing voters, who decide more elections than either party, will see through this is as easily as Paris Hilton's new party dress.
The irony is that his new employer (AMD) would never touch the stolen info with a 10-foot pole.
It's not unlike the disgruntled Coca-Cola employees who took the Coke Zero formula to Pepsi. Pepsi wouldn't touch it with Dr. Pepper's 10-foot pole. They turned the disgruntled employees into the appropriate authorities, notified Coke and sent the formula back without breaking the seal.
That's easy. Professor Charles W. Bostian, the person highlighted in the article, very likely holds all the patents. How should be obvious at this point;)
Right. Except you can't run SQL Server on a Unisys (or Sun -- yes, Sun makes such servers, too) 96 core box directly, since, as you state, they only run Unix. Oracle, Postgres, MySQL, DB2, etc., yeah, SQL Server, no. (Unless you're running under virtualization....)
But we're not talking about on the server. My comment and my comments' parent were discussing consumer multi-core setups. Most consumers aren't exactly running 256 SQL databases on their 96-CPU E20K.

Is anybody else feeling really inadequate right now?
I don't believe the size of the boy's penis was mentioned at all...
There's a difference between lying by omission and leaving out irrelevant facts. Granted, it's a very fine line.
Lying by omission is still lying.

The MAFIAA's wet dream?
In Soviet Russia, RFID chips come standard with YOU!!!!
Because you can't use the DHS RFID serial number to get credit issued yet
There. Fixed that for you.

I've also heard that 2 out of 4 people suck at math.
7zip is not superior. It's incredibly slow.

It doesn't *have* to be. But it generally is when you put a bunch of people who will do anything for cash in their war chest in charge of running it.
There. Fixed it for you.
Correct. Soft drink and food ocmpanies rely on trade secret protection. However, violating a trade secret is just as illegal as violating a patent.

Her suggestion only applies to US citizens, though. What about the rest of us?
Well, you're all terrorists, right? :-/
*sigh*
Why does government have to be so clueless?
Yes.

Duh. The legal hassles alone aren't worth it.
No, more like Toyota and Nissan.
Yes, it does, and, yes, I specifically mentioned it (though not specifically innodb).
Even though he used the word 'cult', I think in context he doesn't mean 'spiritual' or 'religious' cult, I think he means a cult of thinking.
An example of cult behavior in that respect are typically what we would call 'fanboyism', although Slashdot itself is not unlike a cult of thinking.
Notice I said 'directly' benefit.
Also, who profits, and how?

Come to think of it, you're right. ;)
