What's wrong with using butterflies?

Sure, I get that. But diabetes and Alzheimer’s are actually related: http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/09/25/bittman-is-a...

That's only a fraction of the costs involved. For one, today’s diabetes patients are tomorrows alzheimer patients.

Even if it doesn't, there's a lot more profit in advertising than insulin. The economy would probably function better if diabetes patients were left untreated and die, since the cost saving estimates are quite enormous.

Because nobody cares about your diabetes and obesity. Lay down that taco and get some fricken exercise, FFS.

I wasn't even suggesting guns should be banned everywhere (although they should), let alone cameras. Open access doesn't mitigate the problem, it'd merely replaces one problem with another. Similarly, publicising requests for footage could

which is probably more competitive to the reduced feature set of smartphone-based devices such as android and iOS Walled-garden says no. That and the fact that you can bootstrap and run Debian on Android on ARM, for starters.

That's like saying "Guns don't kill people, people kill people." even though death by speeding bullet is more prevalent where guns are legal. Guns and cameras should be used only where a credible strategical benefit exists. Right now, they'

This reeks of extortion. Let's sell the rejects to the customers without a support contract. That'll teach 'em.

Postgres is developing a lot quicker then Firebird. Also, management and replication solutions for Postgres are far more advanced. But what matters most (for me) is documentation. I can find everything I need to know right here: http://www

But it requires Mac OS X, so I'd rather leave my rectum intact and use haxx.ly.

Actually it was Red Alert 1 with altered graphics and just a single new feature: technology overview screens. The graphics for the G.I.'s were exactly the same as in RA1.

First you use SOAP and it's nice, but after a while it's not good enough and you implement WSDL. Corporate overlords see it and suddenly everything has to be WS-YouNameIt (especially in banks and big telco). You end up in the deepest valley

I think I'd hate that, eye movement affects the pov so you wouldn't be able to use a context menu effectively for instance.

Thanks! They should disable the flyout completion for now, though. It causes the input box to lose focus, can't type a command with that.

You should consider switching to a better host. There is no excuse for this: wget -4 output: http://scrp.at/bAD wget -6 output: http://scrp.at/bAE As an IPv6 advocate on the side, I'm disappointed by this.

Yes, this was already discussed and it's still on the front page: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4253427 Don't litter HN with your blogspam.

There's a bug in this, on 2 adjacent sides you can walk one block further then you can create. The world isn't as big as it looks so this is easy to test.

The reason why SL doesn't grow is because of all those furries ruining the place for everyone else. I never knew what yiffing was until I went on SL. Had they placed a few curbs on it, their world would've been better for everyone.

You could do without using a CTE, it's just not as convenient most of the time. Alternatively, you could pass the column names to a function (using a prepared statement, no less) and let that function figure out which columns are valid. If

It would be a silly thing to do because you keep exactly the same problem you'd have without stored procedures. Would the client you're writing rather execute something along the lines of SELECT sp_enroll("bob\"); DROP TABLE students; -

It doesn't hurt to prepare a statement, execute it once and then deallocate it. Intersect the user-selected columns with a whitelist of possible columns, use a simple flag for sorting and map it to ASC/DESC. Prepend the primary key, bind pa

Yeah, that's kinda the whole point. You can put an incorrect value in there and it'll fail, but you can't change the query itself. (i.e. Bobby tables would be an incorrect value, not a dropped students table.)

You're comparing apples with oranges. MySQL Enterprise Monitor would've automatically noticed the missing index and asked you if it's ok to add.

Oh lookie, another Blizzard apologist. Wine triggers the VMM detection script in the warden, it IS a false positive.
