I'm using Opera and it started getting too slow to play. When I investigated the opera.exe process it was using over 630MB of RAM. Took a long time to close the browser. Good JavaScript performance tester!

We are not more regulated than ever before, that's just not true. Regulations are being removed and the regulators are more lax. Did you see what Madoff said about the regulator looking at his business? He called him a blow hard. I also d

There's also a huge debate about the validity of her claims. Not only did she not care about using the name, but she doesn't care much about the efficacy of her product.

My point was only that it seems the author of the post has limited experience with foreign keys.

Interesting. If you look at those numbers, the amount of people who used to work more is also declining, meaning people aren't earning as much as they used to from more than one job.

It's not no data. There are lots of data points to use, it's the choice of exactly which data points to use that is in question. The same debate rages over inflation as well. The issue is who is and who isn't included in the definit

An extended period of unemployment will be very bad for a society based on consumption. Consumer spending accounts for two-thirds of the US economy and consumers are a dying species. I see few signs that we are in recovery. What I see is

I would suggest that it was an elimination of a lot of laws regarding financial transactions and regulation that enabled the recent decline. The removal of these laws enacted to prevent a recurrence of an historical collapse, did in fact b

So basically the author is saying that experience says foreign keys are good, but in practice foreign keys make development and switching data providers harder. Seems like an experienced developer would have written a data access layer that

And that response isn't very conducive to creating a community of people willing to help you on your open source project. Too many egos getting in the way here guys. This is an all right project. Don't let disagreements on how to do things

I think you are being a little over-critical. There are always better ways to do everything. This contributor was doing something that had never been done before -- by himself. Isn't the whole point of open source to show the code and let

Probably the best thing about NoSQL is that once there are high performance and scalable data storage engines out there, it will prompt the SQL vendors to improve the performance and scalability of their products. There are few, if any in

I think there are a lot of other big threats to startup businesses. Not all startup businesses depend on user generated content. Startups that make software or other products that aren't used and/or contributed to by essentially anonymous

The point is not a failing charity, it's that demand for food assistance is going up. It's going up all over the nation, not just Chicago.

First of all, averages aren't that significant. What are the numbers on the median? Furthermore, what about debt? How much credit card debt do Americans have relative to Europeans? When I lived there, almost no one even had a credit ca

Actually, people do in fact starve in the united states every year. Edit: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr57/nvsr57_14.pdf Page 33 says roughly 2500 people die of malnutrition and nutritional deficiencies.

Think of it as a forced, interest-free loan: You'll be repaid any extra withholding in April. Yeah, sure. They are already paying their debts with IOU's. They didn't pay people's refunds last year, was it? This seems pretty wrong to me

The open source is heaven and closed source is hell propaganda is getting really tired. The irrationality of many members of the open source community hurt its image in the larger world outside. When you say things as wrong as those said i

Using language like "obtuse" isn't really conducive to conversation. They are different. Yes, there can be facts in a fiction book and fiction in a nonfiction book, but they are categorized differently. Humans need groups to put things in

I believe it is a contest, because we have a limited amount of time on earth. If you could do either A or B and you believe B is better, then why would you do A? Of course The Divided Self is his exploration of the topic, but it's sold in
