    Yes we must stop insulting the muzzies. We can offend them by protecting other kids in class from something which could be dangerous, searching suspicious travelers, having Jewish supermarkets, drawing pictures they don't like, claiming that beating women is wrong, giving equal rights to homosexuals. We really must stop it all.

    U.S education would most likely fail this kid, as most other American children. Or get him arrested. Again. What I really wonder is how many Americans are now thinking he's "aiding the enemy", for leaving the country and taking his talents elsewhere.

    They're welcome to him - they're wasting a scholorship on someone who can just about take the insides of an alarm clock out!

    I hope it is just a fraud. When it comes to Islam straight-forward selfish criminal behaviour is preferable. It could be that the Muslims are just trying to get things to the stage when they can send their kids to school with real bombs but nobody will dare say anything.

  10. I wonder if there will be JON integration on Report: Red Hat Buying DevOps Startup Ansible (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    This has come at a time when our company is evaluating puppet and ansible for deployment of Jboss EAP and applications. I see this as another plus on the "ansible" side, for several reasons. Firstly it will be a lot easier getting support with possible JBoss deployment issues, there will be one port of call. Secondly the large company backing is a plus. And finally there is a very strong possibility of future integration.

    I wonder if it will be integrated int Jboss Operations Network. It looks a lot slicker than the current ant-based deployment architecture.

    Should I be looking out for drones? Under the definitions “continuing, imminent threat to U.S. persons,” Could I be targeted by a drone strike... Well yes, I tend to avoid american products in my weekly shop, (mostly because they are inferior) this could be defined as a "threat" in a broad sense of the word, Normally Common sense would mean that the "threat" was danger to US persons in the form of attack but from the way words have been twisted not buying american products could threaten US interests.

  13. Re:I have never really understood Oracle on Beware of Oracle's Licensing 'Traps,' Law Firm Warns (scottandscottllp.com) · · Score: 1

    My last and most important statement is that at this point in history anyone using Oracle is a fool. MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, or just about any one of a zillion good datastores out there is so much better than Oracle that I simply don't know why anyone would use Oracle even if Oracle was free I would still use the others. If someone said that I had two choices Amazon Aurora or Oracle I would use Aurora even though I have never used it before. I will simply assume that it is easier to use, faster, cheaper, and less dangerous to my career.

    I agree totally for a greenfield site. However one thing that Oracle is good at is lock-in. Many sites have no choice because of legacy PL/SQL forms or even Oracle SOA systems. In such cases people have little choice, then the locking ratchet keeps going .... since we have all this Oracle infrastructure paid for we can just use it for the next project..

    Of course they should be able to spy on some of them. What if there is evidence that they are working for a foreign power? Or giving business to their own companies? The question is not whether they should be able to spy on MPs, but what justifies it and with what oversite. Maybe a cross-party committee.

    Apparently you have no clue how many ages of the universe it would take to enumerate the 256-bit primes.

    We are nerds here, so lets calculate it. The number of primes less than N is approx ln(N), so the number of primes less than 2^256 = (2^256/256) = 2^248 = 4.5e74. If you computed one prime per plank time, it would take this long: 4.5e77 * 5.4e-44 secs/planckTime / (1.38e10 years/universe * 3600 * 24 * 365) = 2.3e12, or about 2 trillion times the age of the universe. 512 bit primes would take considerably longer.

    Once you calculate the list of primes, you need to figure out where to store it. Storing 4.5e74 numbers is problematic, since that is about a quintillion times the number of atoms in the sun.

    We can be fairly certain that the NSA is not just relying on a lookup table.

    Yes but with Moor's law we'll beat that eventually, just as athletes running faster and faster will eventually exceed the speed of light. ;-)

    You make it sound like there is a small minority when 7% on Muslims in the UK or about 200,000 support ISIS and 27% sympathised with the charlie hebdo and Jewish supermarket attacks. I suggest you read the Qur'an some day instead of just believing the lie that it is all love and peace.

    Actually that seems quite reasonable. At least they give you the choice. I don't like sites that say "you can't view this site with adblock", but with a choice and a reasonable monthly charge for add-free use I'd be happy with it. If it was a site that I used a lot I'd probably pay the subscription. If I decided that I did not use it enough to justify that at least I wouldn't have the feeling that the ads were being forced on me.

Of course all courses include some coding and computer technology, and just as you'd expect someone with a Chemistry degree to be able to do the work of a lab technician some one with a CS degree will be able to code and operate computers -- but there is much more than that.

    And as soon as you make more than you want to pull out as personal salary then it is the way most people do it. As far as I remember the rule of thumb is that if you make more than £100.000 a year it is worth doing.

    Unless the inland revenue decide it's just disguised employment. Many people do operate companies to do this, and it can be worthwhile at less than 100k, but you have to make sure that you work for more than one employer (I think within an 18-month period).
