Good grief generating a report from data pulled out of two different sources is a big creative whoopee why exactly?? I did that for the office back when I started there (like 10 years ago), just because I (was too lazy) didn't think the 8 hour manual excel data massaging method they were using was a good use of my time.

...Can I sue both of them?

(Win7 x64 here also) Holy crap! That thing is fast!

No compatability mode settings required to run, however if dropping Cathy on the C: drive the default NTFS permissions may be giving you problems. Make sure the Users group has Read/Write/Modify permissions for the folder Cathy runs in and it should work.

Also make sure the shortcut you launch it from has the correct path in the "Start in" target.

Just thinkin' out loud,

Besides, DoS attacks are illegal. But pushing a ton of bogus tuples into cyberspace is no crime.

You have no idea how happy that statement just made me.

3D printed guns right now aren't comparable to hundreds of years of gunsmith engineering. So 3D gun plans & printing really have no significant effect on anything.

Really? A cheap untraceable gun suitable for use at close range doesn't inspire all sorts of creative thinking?

+1 - Totally nailed it! Remember the statistics...a typical shooting happens at less than 20'. That doesn't require a great deal of accuracy or skill...just the compunction/desperation to pull the trigger.

I still count Pluto, even if it is just a little rock runt. Now what those other two solar system wannabies are doing out there I could care less about. But they showed up about the same time poor Pluto got whacked.

So...Yes, I'm the one who voted 9.

I have nothing polite, constructive, or non-violent to say. Trying to argue with fools only proves that there are 2.

+1 - However (from the comments on the article) I do thing this guy is on to something:
Kool - Ade

It's time to stop swallowing the politically correct B.S. and DROP KICK worthless parasites like the DMA right out of our lives !

The DMA obviously doesn't give a rat's patute about consumer privacy OR browser standards other than the methods used to butcher them.

Let product quality and service once again be the corporate by-words which lead to strong showings and healthy profits rather than a competition for browser display space and computer resources engineered by the scummiest of bottom feeders.
 
I say let's move directly to browsers capable of switching off advertisements (some form of java & flash filtering maybe) and subsequently Blacklist servers that allow engineered work-around software.

Okay... So (technically...) the Myans are/were correct in that the batteries in the cosmic being's iUniverse device our (apparently game) world exists on will fully discharge on 12/21/12 taking the sum total known (to us) universe off into oblivion.

So, in other words ... We all have to die because some (advanced being's) kid forgot to charge their iPod.

Great... :D

And worse, kids are taught that tracking people is "ok" and that people that don't want to be tracked are "difficult" or "bad". *cough* operant conditioning *cough*

This is probably more a question for 40hz, but you said it. (Um...) If the object is to get people to dislike/distrust/avoid/turn on people that resist their tracking mechanisms ... Wouldn't that be avoidance conditioning?

I love horseshoes and hand grenades. :D

And what real safeguards can a school from government and law enforcement to stop all this data ending up in a national database (which has been discussed by politicians in the UK for decades).

I think that's the point, they're not trying to stop it ... They're (the front line of the (for the children) first wave) trying to ease us into it. People will revolt (well they're supposed to anyway), children OTOH are taught to follow instruction from authority figures. So once you've been "registered" at school... It's already to late.

General Software Discussion / Re: Does the browser Opera suck?
« Last post by Stoic Joker on October 11, 2012, 06:47 AM »
IE9 fared very well (and the others very poorly) in tests blocking malware.

Early this week, I received information about a study by NSS Labs, which clearly showed that Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 was significantly better at blocking malware than any other browser tested. In fact, their study showed that no other tested browser even came close to challenging IE9.

I have a license for Opera that I've never used. IE works just fine for me. I've been tempted to install FF a few times, but I've never done it.

Security is up to the user to practice ... Blaming the browser is just silly.

Thankfully I have no memories that vivid from my childhood...as I've successfully managed to block all of them. To the best of my current - which I strive to keep on a sliding scale - recollection I was indeed born somewhere between the approximate age of 35...and yesterday.
