They fill up the fry cup, usually dump another big scoop of fries in the bag on top of everything (fries go in the bag last... of the food, anyway; I can't remember if napkins go in after fries or not), and I still wish they'd give us more.
They do that with every size. Last time I ate at one, I made the mistake of getting a medium order of fries.
Maybe I'm giving people too much credit, but embedding images in Word or Excel documents might be needed to get around mail server restrictions on attaching image files1.

Most web developers these days don't understand HTTP at all. I wouldn't be surprised if most of them don't even know that it exists.
My reading of it was that, if you know an account name, you can get access to it using an arbitrary email address. So if I know that there's an account named Dragnslcr, all I need to do is say "I forgot my password", and have a new password / password reset link / whatever sent to foobar@mailinator.com, or any other email address of my choosing, thus allowing me to hijack your account trivially.
I guess that's possible. I assumed it was like any other site, where you either enter a username and a password is sent to the email address associated with that username, or you enter an email address and a password is sent for the login associated with that email address.
Emailing your actually password is a giant WTF as it means they're storing your password rather than a (salted) password hash.
It says "a new password".
I'm not sure exactly what the WTF is here. Is it that you don't get prompted to enter a new password the first time you login with the password they emailed you?
Even PHP gives a parse error if you try ++$i++.

It could still only run Android apps couldn't it? The main problem being that there wasn't even tablet support in Android at the time, so you basically got a fullscreen app designed for a 3" screen blown up to a full monitor size?
If I remember correctly, it started up a full X server running on the Linux kernel.
Except Android on anything bigger than a tablet (with keyboard and mouse proper) sucks syphillitic camel's balls.
When you connected the Atrix to the dock, it switched to a full X display. I think you got your Android display in a window on the desktop. I never owned one, so I don't know how good the implementation was, but the concept was pretty awesome.
In the United States, we would never stand for anyone holding a government office just because some other member of their family held that office. Especially if we're talking about the presidency.
An interesting question, and one that's surprisingly difficult to find a definitive answer for. All I can find for certain is that the BBC is publicly owned, but the government cannot directly intervene; that's the job of the BBC Trust, which is independent of the government.Anyway, personally, I don't mind paying the license fee. After all, it's far cheaper than paying Rupert Fucking Murdoch £40 a month for 600 channels of utter garbage, it funds a lot of services beyond just TV, and it stops our Trident captains launching nukes at Moscow.
You have to keep in mind that in some countries, an educated populace and informed voters is considered beneficial to society, and so it's worthwhile to spend public money on an organization such as the BBC.
Over here on our side of the Atlantic, an educated populace and informed voters are considered Un-American.

I thought there was a deal where the Crown got to keep all of its political authority as long as they never use it.
I guess it's up to me to be the lone person that still goes to the main site first, reads the article for the day, then jumps over the forum.
I doubt it will help the performance much, but there appears to be absolutely no reason for that subquery to exist. You can change it to dbo.Msgs AS M LEFT JOIN dbo.MsgStatusLog AS S ON M.MsgID = S.MsgID
and then move the StatusBy = A1
to the query's WHERE clause.
As for the query's performance, are there any indexes for the tables? An index on both tables' MsgID should help quite a bit with the join, and indexes on RType and Rec should also help.
Congratulations, Ben Carson, you've Godwin'ed the election.
>But as someone who’s been immersed in the digital world for most of his life, I can attest: Computer science is less an intellectual discipline than a narrow vocational skill.
Perhaps he should have spent less time immersed in the digital world and more time immersed in a class that would have taught him what computer science is.

The claim is "Linux can't get malware".Is that a Linux install? Yes.
Are those files malware? Yes.
Are those files in the Linux install? Yes.
The only possible deduction from this is that that Linux install has somehow acquired malware, which contradicts the thesis, meaning the thesis is wrong and must be discarded. I don't see how you are having difficulty with this, unless your love of Linux has blinded you to basic logic (admittedly, a prerequisite to loving Linux).
8/10, would read again.
It would probably be good if the person at least knows what unit tests are (and doesn't think that they're a waste of time).
The last time I did full-time web development was several years ago, and our group wasn't advanced enough for those fancy unit test things. I could go back into web development now (but I don't want to), and I've never written a unit test of my own. That doesn't mean that I don't know why they're good to have, and I could easily learn the special incantation for your language/framework the day before starting the job.
But you can play Super Mario Bros. levels as Mega Man. Go look up Super Mario Crossover (I hope it's still available).
I CARE NOT FOR THE SPELLING REFORMS OF NOEL WEBSTER AND ANDREW CARNEGIE!
We should start our own spelling reform so that it better matches our pronunciation. I propose "culah".
I can just as well imagine a clueless PHB sitting there, decreeing that passwords must not be longer than 12 characters because otherwise users would forget them too easily.
That's my guess, too. The programmers could implement password handling correctly, and the PHB would never know. The PHB might possibly be just barely smart enough to try entering a password like "123456789!@#$abcdef" to make sure that it fails, and then yelling at the programmers if it works.
It nice that even the little trolling attempts hit they're marks now and then.
<heh
Yup, their getting pretty good at it.
<hah?
Part of the difficulty with continuing a series is keeping the same tone and style, which is very nearly impossible. Some people realize that this is the case, and write more books as part of Dune.
That's true, but I think that would be more of an issue if a different author tries to continue a specific story (e.g. Wheel of Time). As much as I would miss all of the great characters that Pratchett created, a different author could create their own characters and stories in the Discworld setting. I guess without those specific characters, though, there wouldn't be as much reason to use Discworld as a setting.
Death is such a great character in the series. It's a shame he had to collect Sir Pratchett. For that matter, it's a shame that his daughter, Rhianna, has decided to end the series.
I can understand why authors don't want to take the chance of having their creations ruined by some other writer who isn't nearly as good. I still wish that authors that have created great settings like the Discworld would find some young author that they trust and let them play around with the world.
Do you know what LISP stands for?
Let's insert some parentheses.
That's kinda lame. I learned it as Lots of Irritating, Stupid Parentheses.
Fortunately, I've only had to look at Lisp once since college.
There are no parliaments (aside from the Funkadelic and cigarette sorts) in the US.
The US would be so much more awesome if it was run by the P-Funk.
I think that you can flash iPXE firmware over the original PXE firmware in a NIC, but I wouldn't take the chance if you don't have to. You can configure the server to basically chain load the iPXE firmware instead.
I definitely recommend taking the time to learn iPXE. It can do really fancy stuff with menus and conditionals, and you'll probably get an order of magnitude better speed when downloading the kernel and ramdisk over HTTP instead of TFTP.
The first thing you'll want to do is have PXE serve up iPXE firmware (http://www.ipxe.org/), since iPXE is in all ways better than plain PXE. In particular, it can fetch kernels and ramdisk images over HTTP instead of the painfully slow TFTP. iPXE also supports scripts that can do pretty much anything you need.
I've set up an iPXE menu that can boot live versions of Fedora and Debian. I didn't configure any kind of persistent storage for it, but I know it's possible. You could also not have any persistent storage on them and do everything over NFS or Samba.
What would happen if the AI car was checking / downloading and update - I know my PC (auto update ON) tends to devote just about all it's resources and effort doing this, especially at "switch on time". And then we have the "...will reboot (and you ain't going to stop me) in..." stuff.
I know a lot of software engineers aren't very good at their jobs, but I would hope that someone would think to put in a check to make sure the car isn't currently driving before doing something like applying updates.
Note: I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.
You can't have a copyright on data (names, addresses, etc.), but you can potentially have the copyright on the structure of how you store the data, e.g. the database schema. If the data that some other website is using is simply one table with fields for name, email, and credit card number, it would be difficult to claim copyright over it, since there isn't really much creative effort involved in coming up with that schema. If it's a large database with several tables, though, they might have a legitimate copyright claim.
This thread is great for reinforcing my strong dislike of Ruby. I'd rather go back to writing PHP.
Obviously they need to hire a better CPROOCLEdamn, so close to fitting ORACLE into that acronym

What about Null Quicksilver, Null Black, and Null Sapphire?
For full disk images, I've used Clonezilla. You can download a PXE-boot version or a Live CD (it's a Debian derivative that includes the Clonezilla scripts).
Correct spelling is for losers who can't keep up with the times. You'll be tellng people to get of your lwn next.
Fixed that for you.
I object to them because they murder children.
Anyone who opposes abortion because their religion (most likely Christianity) says that it's murder needs to go back and read the Bible again - it's pretty explicit that the death of an unborn child is not equivalent to murder.
If I remember correctly, it's called "football" not because of what you use to contact the ball, but because it's played on foot (as opposed to on horseback).
I've used Acronis before, so I understood the WTF pretty much right away. It is a good WTF, but believe me, TRWTF is Acronis.
@tarunik said:multi-million-row tablesBetter than multi-million column tables! (Some users…)
Ugh, thanks for triggering the flashbacks. 500+ columns in a table because the original developer didn't know about normalization. There was person1_name, person1_phone, person2_name, person2_phone ... person20_name, person20_phone.
I think the primary reason that he didn't like it is that only looking at the query doesn't tell you what fields the query returns. Obviously that can be solved with an IDE that supports reading the schema from a database, but this was almost 10 years ago, and I don't know if any IDEs at the time could do that. Maybe Visual Studio could, but we weren't a Microsoft shop.

I loved that game as a kid. All of the crazy stuff you had to do, like walk around the table backwards with the card on your head, is great for kids.
I should try to find it online or something.
@Onyx said:EDIT: Oh, Crusade. Well, I got it then, but they were mentioned and featured in the main series.Yeah, Crusade. I don't remember the Technomages being in Babylon 5, but I watched that series so quickly that a lot of details are jumbled up in my memory.
Season 2, "The Geometry of Shadows". They don't show up again in the B5 series, but there's a very good trilogy of books that follows the story of Elric and Galen during that time period.
Ah, got it. I never really got involved on the forum, so I missed all of that. Since I don't have a Windows computer, I couldn't play the beta, and I haven't paid much attention since then.

Just curious, what's the problem with Might No. 9? I haven't read the updates from the past couple months yet, so did I miss something? Last I saw, they're still targeting late summer for a release.
