  1. Re:Or...What a Drag man on Google Patents Self-Driving Car That Glues Pedestrians To The Hood In A Crash (cnn.com) · · Score: 1
    I could also see a glancing adhesion dragging a person along a running auto-car and then hitting them against another immovable object (e.g. light pole, mail box, a parked car, etc....).

    Not sure if this was totally thought out but just a "hurry and get the patent filed before someone else does" moment.

  3. They learned nothing............

    This is why we (the US) wised up and changed it back to the agreed upon name without the second 'i' in 1925.

    Just curious, where does that second 'i' come from in enunciating Aluminum. Instead of a silent character as in knight, we now have the opposite as a ghost character? Pronouncing what does not exist?

    That was pretty much obvious when he pronounced Aluminum as "Aluminium".

    Case in point, GOP Establishment insist that their voters do not get to pick the presidential candidate, but THEY do. GOP Delegate: We Pick The Nominee, ‘Not Voters’.

    I had to laugh at that delegate (Curly Haugland, a delegate from North Dakota) when he said "The rules are still designed to have a political party choose its nominee at a convention. That’s just the way it is. I can’t help it. Don’t hate me because I love the rules.". Evidently he is a 1%'er.

    Sorry, I believe the above mentioned solutions will not happen. It goes against every principle that the current "World Order" is attempting to accomplish. How else can you bring the rest of the world out of "Third World" status. The current means are to redistribute the wealth of the top countries to them. That is socialistic in nature but at an entire planet level. Are you saying that Mr Sanders would forsake his ideology and only apply it to the US?

    Holy cow, you must not be able to detect facetious rhetoric very well. The comment was pretty much in line with the original comment AND I kept in line with the conspiracy theory that the rest of the comments were also following AND YOU did not make them a TROLL. The only thing I can think of from this is that you did not have enough mod points to TROLL -1 everyone.

    No, they just want to make sure they get a list of innocuous material that when combined become deadly. I guess you could argue that it to enable them to better combat insurgency when fighting in urban warfare.

    But this sounds more like what could be used against them in the event we take all your guns away when they truly become a police state.

    Both still use the TDS (Tabular Data Stream) originally created by Sybase. I think there are still similarities between the two.

    Granted each went their own direction in enhancing the underlying server/client code (e.g. Sybase took forever to implement row level locking), but they are still very similar. Ex.) TDS (I would have provided a link to MSDN, but they were timing out at the time of writing this.)

  13. Re:A son returns home on Microsoft Brings SQL Server To Linux (betanews.com) · · Score: 0
    A majority of the SQL Server core functionality I believe was purchased from Sybase.

    So I am not surprised that they will now try to offer it on a Linux platform.

    This does make kinda sense as they could not squash or buy out Linux.

    It is the proverbial "can't beat em', join em'" scenario.

  17. Should not be a fixed rate on Ted Cruz Wants Minimum H-1B Wage of $110,000 (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    This should be a percentage above the current industry rate this way the rate will adjust accordingly with the growth of the economy. Since the skills that are being asked for are so scarce in the country it should be worth quite a lot more than current industry rate.
    What would an acceptable value be for these hard to find skills that no one in the US possesses?
    Maybe we should ask Disney or all the other companies that are currently abusing this visa type.

    Anything Disney has to be forsaken just as they did to the IT department.

    Because he wanted to lower the cost of the film, so Disney says we can do that but Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher have to train their H1B replacements. Not sure how well that went over though.
    I am also done with the Star Wars franchise as well since they were bought by Disney.
