    News section MIA?

    I understand that, but I have no idea what about; didn't get a PM or anything, no responses to any posts, nothing.

    Yea, they're showing up searching while not logged in, too; nothing when I'm logged in

    News section MIA?

    The news subforum just stopped showing up when I logged in, but it shows up when I'm not logged in. I'm using IE8. Bug or am I being punished? It looks more like my access to the News area was revoked since posts I made in it aren't showing up on search for me

    Windows Attack Code Out, But Not Being Used

    It probably doesn't effect enough computers for a good hacker to spend a lot of time with for something being patched in such a short amount of time. They'd probably spend their time finding unknown security exploits that are more effective / will be more effective: Windows 7.

    Man Arrested For Threatening To Shoot iPhone

    Yes, you could say this and NOT show a complete stranger your gun and they'd probably know you were screwing around. Or, you could say this to a complete stranger, show them your gun, and hope that someone like me isn't nearby to make god damn sure you aren't pulling it out. A lot of you...

    Might be starting a company... which SQL to use?

    Oh no, don't get me wrong, when I say scaleability, I mean going from maybe 10 people using a site at a time to 40 :cool: keenan: Thanks for keeping me aware of this. One of the reasons I'm going with MySQL is for how quickly I'll be able to do it compared to how long I think it's going...

    US Govt Possibly Released 70 Million Veterans Data

    Just reiterating the statement I put on Wired: First, with how easy it is to run a harddrive through a degausser, this is ridiculous. The two things I really want to know are: 1. What jerkoff made this decision: “Let’s not take the 30 seconds to stick this through a degausser, even though...

    Might be starting a company... which SQL to use?

    Maximus: Thanks for some working examples to give me a better idea of how each would be used in different environments / situations. ameoba: You're right that this is likely what we will be doing in most cases. I'm just trying to make sure that it will be a solid option for this purpose...

    Man Arrested For Threatening To Shoot iPhone

    I'm sorry, I don't think that your interpretation of what a threat against someone's life would be is correct. Sure I'd be arrested for killing him, but I think the likelihood I'd get convicted would be 0% considering the circumstances. Whether or not this guy directly threatened anyone...

    Man Arrested For Threatening To Shoot iPhone

    I'm sorry, I fail to see where your viewpint would invalidate any of the arguments I made. I used $8/hr as a randomly selected figure based on the very well validated premise that retail employees for large corporations are typically paid poorly and have to deal with such issues. To clarify...

    Man Arrested For Threatening To Shoot iPhone

    What does aggravated menacing have to do with the fact that I'd kill anyone showing off their gun to me after complaining about a non-functioning product they want me to service?

    Man Arrested For Threatening To Shoot iPhone

    I wouldn't have called the cops on him, I would have killed him. There's enough maniacs running around to be afraid if someone "offers" to shoot something inside of a store and then show you their gun. Granted, this guy probably didn't mean any harm by it, but you'd be singing a different...

    Might be starting a company... which SQL to use?

    mikeblas: My criteria applied to MySQL and Microsoft SQL Server, they just didn't fail the test :cool: . I'm not going to be working on huge websites, so Oracle would be overkill. SQLLite has too few of resources available for my taste. I added PostgreSQL back into my candidates earlier...

    Might be starting a company... which SQL to use?

    All of you bring up valid points and options. Awesome responses. Tytalus/PTNL: Thanks for bringing up SQL Server Express. You guys are right that this would be a suitable option for what I'd end up doing; I'm not anticipating any clients we'd have (initially) coming close to the imposed...

    Might be starting a company... which SQL to use?

    Update: Going with MySQL / PHP to start with, thanks for the help! My friend is graduating with a degree in interactive media (I believe that's what it's called) and we are thinking of starting up a small web design company. My friend has an novice-intermediate grasp of various languages...

    Copyright Czar Appointed in US for IP Enforcement, Piracy Crackdowns

    With the amount of money being thrown at the government by corporations, of course this is a bought position.

    What Role Does Government Play in Web Security?

    Really, I hate the government, but it can't be ignored that something like this would eventually become necessary. This scenario is not much different than the government being able to close off roadways / passage to certain areas in the event of a crisis. However, the only way this bill...

    Microsoft Unveils Company’s Thinnest Keyboard

    I had my Intellimouse Explorer 3 for about 5 years and it still worked perfectly. I only replaced it because it was getting too grimy for me. As for keyboards, I'm using a $10 Logitech I got off Newegg. It has exactly what I want: a regular keyboard. It's got good feedback, standard...

    U.S. Buys Supercomputer With Twin Backup

    Google Makes Concessions To European Publishers

    Google should be sued for this. Seriously, if people are getting sued for crap like this regarding music, then why not Google? They are blatantly and obviously ripping this content off, regardless of whether or not the publisher still prints it.

    Facebook Cyberbully Jailed in UK

    This is not anywhere near what happened in the U.S. This girl made a direct threat against the life of someone that she had bullied for years in the real world -- AND left proof. If something like this would happen in life, it would be deny, deny, deny. This girl was a fucking idiot and...

    Twitter Faces Patent Infringement Lawsuit

    That definitely is a broad ptent. Am I reading this wrong or do they have a patent for any use of a database for communication to multiple users/multiple mediums? If so, I'm sorry, but that seems like a patent nobody should own. Even though I've never used Twitter and am filled with a basic...
