    What do you mean do we have the right? it's a very large piece of rock. If there's any use in blowing it up of course we have the right. There's no ecosystem, no nothing up there.

    I find your physics interesting and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

    Are you sure about your claim? It would be very interesting if it were so. Any physicists around?

    Yes she is. That's why we should we fsck her and get to work improving both our science and our selfs. Instincts that work for a pig or a monkey do not apply to humans who can throw nuclear bombs.

    Yes. Plenty.

    The military is just the most violent part of the mafia system called the state. Subsiding soldiers to do anything but die is giving in to blackmail. We should be putting money into science because it is the right thing to do not because it enables you to go kill the muslim (yellow, brown, commie etc.) man.

  7. Re:Compete with drugs on Kids Score 40 Percent Higher When They Get Paid For Grades · · Score: 1

    I think the "compete with drugs" works the other way too. If I can make 500 doing homework and 600 dealing drugs (stealing etc.) and money is the only motivator than I'm going to deal drugs.

    I think a big part of the problem is ignoring that kids are really smart and that we should treat them as small, weak inexperienced adults. We should we explain to them why it is good to study and if all else fails just force them. Trying to make up a "game" (grades, money etc.) just confuses them and makes them want to game or ignore the system.

    What the other guy in the same thread says. You are supposed to author Integration Services Packages (the new DTS) using Business Intelligence Studio. Scheduling the packages is pretty straightforward and it includes options for using windows authentication different than the SQL context (run under a different windows user).

    Integration Services (along with Analysis Services) is one of the best done things to come out of Microsoft. It's easy, reasonably powerful and integrates completely with the rest of SQL Server suite.

  11. Re:Cue postgres fan bois on Has MySQL Forked Beyond Repair? · · Score: 1

    I work with MSSQL daily now and I am impressed with Management Studio (the app that replaced query browser and enterprise manager). OK, maybe impressed is not the right word but it's still much better than PgAdmin or MySQL Admin (or what it's called).

    It also has a lot of really nice features: out of the box replication, log shipping, mirroring (which rocks). The only things that I would really like to have from Postgres are query rewriting and sequences(I would really, really like sequences instead of this identity shit).

    Anyway if it were free I would definitely choose it every time over Postgres or MySQL.

    EVE is an enigma in the sense that it even survives at all. (Someone feel free to explain this to me.)

    I'll try. There are basically two kind of people who play eve:
    - the serious players, who actually get it ("nerds who are to are to other nerds what nerds are to real people"?)
    - the people who would love a good online space sim and eve is the closest thing . I'm one of those.

    Are you saying I should pay people not to stab me? How is this different than getting robbed? It just seems to take longer. You know what really keeps people from stabbing you? Fear of prison and/or getting stabbed themselves.

    A community is made from individuals that have to take responsibility for themselves. Can't afford kids? Don't have any.

    wtf? Every time somebody posts this idea it is modded insightful and people seem to agree. Am I missing sometime? This is Slashdot, I thought we wanted to be cowboys. I know this is why I got into programming: because I can get a computer and get to work NOW doing what I like. No certification, no asking other people if they'll allow me to program, no shit. Just code. Am I alone in this? Does everybody whant to form guilds now to keep the competition out? What gives?
