Why did this case ever go to a Federal case? If the Tewksbury PD had knowledge, did they not also have the ability to give the info to a local county or state prosecutor? And if they knew and did nothing, either the community by way of the

Even better, buy someone else a latte, sit down and talk with them and learn something new. Then with that, go earn more.

I thought that autocommit simply wraps each SQL statement in its own transaction? Wouldn't a good programming practice, be to ensure that everything that is supposed to be atomic, occur in a single, possibly large, SQL statement anyways?

It is amazing that only now, after he is dead, do we find out the truth. If he had kept living, none of this behavior would have come to light.

Some are criticizing you, but I personally think this is the right answer. US Attorneys and the Fed "gotcha" system of justice need to be contrained.

From what little I know about "herd immunity" it would seem a bare minimum requires 75% efficacy of the vaccine with 100% vaccination. Since this flu vaccine is only 62% effective, I come to the conclusion that there is no herd immunity eff

I have found kettlebells to be very useful also. There is a sub-reddit on them: http://reddit.com/r/kettlebell . I will have to look into the Starting Strength book, I always had problems when trying to do squats before - perhaps bad t

At some point, companies that rely solely on AWS will be seen as having a "technical debt" - to not be able to engineer around such obstacles will be seen as a management failure.

Current bandwidth pricing: Level3 (quite good) about $3/Mbps, Cogent (not as good), 70 cents/Mbps. So $700 to $3000 for a 1Gbit pipe depending on quality, though usually they will charge you a bit more and you will have 1Gbps on a burstab

I am curious if you have experimented with the following: 1. increase iodine intake in some fashion 2. cut out all wheat products including whole grain 3. Atkins-style diet with restricted carbs in general 4. increased use of ginger as a sp

It is interesting to consider that periodic fasts and/or abstaining from certain foods for a time (such as Lent during the Orthodox calendar), seen in many religions, might have a health benefit by suppressing certain gut bacteria, or at le

did you ever examine DRDB (I think it is integrated into some of the Linux kernels)?

I am not trying to be sarcastic, I am just tired of some of the AWS fanboi's (not you) who act as if AWS solves all of your problems immediately for $50 a month. There are real costs no matter which way you go. PS, would be very surprised i

Have you done any calculations as to what it would cost to rent say, 20 x $100 a month dedicated servers spread across multiple datacenters, that can do virtualization with OpenVZ, Xen, or KVM (takes care of network, power, bandwidth, hardw

imgur.com is something like $24 a year, and AFAIK they don't claim any ownership on your photos...

I had thought in the past that storing the index of a database (not the data, just index) on the card and using that to handle complex queries, might be interesting. Not sure if that has a practical, real-world use though.

Heroku, being on top of AWS, doesn't really have the greatest uptime, do they? There are plenty of dedicated hosting and VPS companies that have better uptimes than AWS at this point.

Divorced 4 years ago, children angry, this kid probably needs discipline more than he needs drugs, many of which aren't even properly tested on developing brains.

This article does not address the issues concerning grains, including high glycemic index, the presence of the protein gliadin and its poorly understood role in the intestinal tract, and whether a diet without grains (not the question of wh

Measuring in GDP is ridiculous (assuming that is how the comparisons are made), given that any person who researches the topic can rather quickly realize the numbers are heavily manipulated.

The USA hasn't had separate common law courts since 1938. I doubt many cases from before 1938, are still being litigated in the court.

I am trying to learn Russian, and in communicating with people in the USA who are from Ukraine or Russia, they often ask me "why is X done this way"? So that is why this book is interesting to me.

The NSA has access to their own chip fabrication facilities. I do not know if they own their own plant, or just have secure fab space at some other company's plant. So they could have easily fabbed something like this, or a tuned architect

Note that funding for such things used to come from individuals who could easily buy shares. Univac for instance, started in just this way, selling shares for a few dollars apiece. In these times, however, lawyers and government have strang
