Nobody has mentioned in addition to drugs, talk therapy, food can be a lifesaver wrt depression. Specifically, I and a medical doctor had the same experience that taking fish oil, ie high quality omega 3 DHA/EPA was a lifesaver. Also g

Since CA is one of the few states that bars non-competes, I doubt this lawsuit could have been brought forth in any other state. Lawyers out there, am I right? In NYC for example, the non-competes are draconian, and there is far less moveme

I agree! I also favor government giving its largesse back to the actual owners, in any format. Here, "The city is offering real estate on Governors Island, Roosevelt Island or at the Brooklyn Navy Yard at virtually no cost..." I hope it wor

Is that an argument for doing googling over https? Or maybe trying to get first usage of the new secured DNS (I apologize I am off-news and don't know how that will be working...)?

The open source implementation, Rietveld [ http://code.google.com/p/rietveld ], sounds very interesting. Perhaps it could be used in programming classes and might also fit in with pair programming training.

I liken this problem to browsing a library or bookstore vs searching its card catalog or asking for specific information. If I have a problem, I know what I want and it may not be something I've wanted before. If I want to relax and browse,

For reference, the law's URL, which was cited in slantyyz's reference, was out of date. Here is the current link; http://www.mass.gov/Eoca/docs/idtheft/201CMR1700reg.pdf

I do like the idea of encrypting user names across the wire, but "to maintain a Written Information Security Plan (WISP) and file it with the state of Massachusetts" goes way too far, imho. I am not a lawyer nor a database geek, so perhaps

At the risk of being further downvoted :). The proper definition of "rationing" is ; Government allocation of scarce resources and consumer goods, usually adopted during wars, famines, or other national emergencies. http://www.answers.com

Here is a link I found. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,540965,00.html It is well established that socialized medicine entails rationing.

Scott Adam's syllogistic analysis is only true if his items form an exhaustive set of possibilities. One thing time does tell us about human nature is that it is easy to overlook causes for other's behavior. In this case, as an advocate of

With scheduling of posts for particular times, it's easier to seem like a pro, so I like this feature. Implementing it as keywords in the subject is a bit unwieldy I suspect due to subject line length limits, but at least they offer it. In

Based on posts here I found the "Task-focused API" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task-Focused_Interface . There are lots of extensions available based on it: http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylyn_Extensions . For example, from gmail, y

What do you think about the Twitter Sign-in API? I like that Twitter involves delimited, public information, so linking it to other accounts may be less problematic.

I like that GUI, but it is unclear what your username is for if the password is not given to you. I think you mean that the password is given by the login provider, but then does that mean the user has two loginid's with you? [One for you a

I love the breckyunits posts and this topic is of interest. It seems to omit the obvious problem with flat structures: modern IDE's require certain folderings. But if you use VIM and work alone then I guess that's not an issue.

A reason I am not optimistic about crime in the USA is the continuing escalation of so-called smaller issues. With crime, "a stitch in time saves nine." Catching a small incident and having the person change behavior leads to enormous chang

Is it not true that a major purpose of a DB is to handle datasets the are too big for RAM? If the items fit in RAM, isn't speed ~1/1000th (ie ratio of RAM access to HD access time) the issue it was?
