Ah. I had it set up that way so you could do more efficient batch inserts/updates/deletes, but that works too.

Right after they update their UI that was made in the early 90s.

Man, that's rough only getting 120k fresh out of school... how do you get by?

Out of curiosity, what part did you have to tweak?

Something like this should work well enough if you aren't dealing with a lot of data: HashMap<key,name> current - store all keys currently in the database HashMap<key,name> updates - track updates HashMap<key,name> newEntries - track new entries

He won't if that's "all" he did.

Do you have any specific examples from countries that are similar to the US (prison conditions/philosophy, social conditions, religious views, etc)? Maybe before/after stats for US states that abolished it? I'm looking for info on that right now... *edit* Most of the articles I found...

The main problem is that I completely avoid metro as soon as I turn on my PC. The Microsoft Store might as well not exist if it can't run on the desktop. I haven't looked at it since the day I installed W8.

If the state hands it out, it can be a deterrent. A lot of people are more afraid of death than spending life in prison.

Excellent job ignoring the point of my post. I think it would be a shame that some random inmate had to do the job that the state should've done in the first place. The "death penalty" in that case would be meaningless because the state didn't do it.

Is it justice for a man to only serve 20-30 years of his 200 year sentence before dying of old age in jail? Why not just call it a 30 year sentence at that point? Does that seem like a reasonable punishment for stealing a collective 30 years from those girls and raping/beating them throughout it?

It just seems weird to me that a person can describe a crime like this by each component - Gavinrad said that the death penalty is only merited when one of the individual crimes is a capital offense, which is probably in line with the law. I understand that each crime has a specific...

Out of curiosity, what do you think an appropriate punishment would be?

I was surprised to find out that it was the last episode of the season. I expected something more substantial. There are certainly some flaws in the show, but I enjoyed it. I'll be watching the next season.

I think e-cigs are a good thing for people who are trying to quit (I know a few people who are using them for that purpose) - I just don't think they suddenly make "smoking" in enclosed areas acceptable. Some of them produce a very small amount of vapor, but the guy on the train was blowing out...

While they are obviously better than regular cigarettes, e-cigarettes are still annoying. Some asshole was using one on the train next to me today and kept blowing huge clouds of vapor on everyone. They still have a smell and I don't want to breathe in whatever shit they put in there. I hope...

People shouldn't have to call in. When Comcast realized that there was a problem, they should have immediately figured out who was being charged erroneously and fixed it. Relying on customers noticing the problem and taking the time to call in is shitty service and a great example of why people...

12/4 on Comcast is $65/month here. I'm in suburban Chicago, so it's not like I'm out in farm country and it'd cost a lot for them to improve service. AT&T might as well not exist since their service is so shitty, so Comcast has no reason to provide better services or prices. At one point a few...

I'm usually pretty good about turning my brain off for sci-fi/action movies, but for some reason the part where Tom flies into a thunderstorm and dodges the lightning bolt by taking a hard right when he sees it coming bugged the shit out of me. The movie was entertaining enough, but nothing...

Most people don't have a reason to encrypt their personal computer's hard drive. It's not a bad thing to do... but people mostly skip it unless they have something to hide.

You can grow/shrink partitions, so you can shrink your storage one and grow the OS. If you don't feel like doing that, you can always just install stuff on the storage partition. The software (probably) won't work if you reformat the OS drive, but all you have to do is delete the installation...

I really like Sublime Text and would definitely recommend it over NP++ (my old favorite). Every once in a while I still use Eclipse, but Sublime Text is better/faster most of the time.

It looks like those are all children in the picture. The rest of Josiah's family looks normal: According to the wiki, people with that syndrome generally die before the age of 10.

The 360/PS3 had hardware that was comparable to a decent gaming PC when they came out as well. It didn't take long for PCs to blow them away again, but that was expected. When the next generation of consoles comes out, they'll capitalize on all the progress made in the PC world again, and the...

As a general rule, one guy makes vests for lots of suicide bombers. The vest maker doesn't kill himself. Over here it's not as practical to have a central vest maker, so they make and detonate the bombs themselves. They can choose to kill themselves if they want to, but it's not required or...

I don't know. It never makes sense when you hear the reasons people give for people doing shit like this. I'm just trying to think of the most common way that it comes about. A random killing spree just for the hell of it doesn't make sense based on the little bit of info that's out there on...

The first guy who died has an African name and one of the "we miss you, Sunil" videos had a shot of his sister offering him a Zanzibar (Tanzania) soccer jersey because apparently he really liked that team. Tanzania is ~40% Muslim, so his good friend could've converted him.

I think this is one of the few situations where the cops would prefer to take a cop killer alive. It's safer for their city that way. It's really important that they learn everything they can about these two guys.

I agree that he'll probably die. I don't think the cops could stop him, but maybe his family could. Another thought: Wouldn't it be weird if he was reading this stuff on his phone right now?

It'd be nice if they could bag him alive. I want to know what the hell is going on. Maybe his family can come talk him down from the ledge...

When you have auto (most likely actually semi-auto) fire and grenades being thrown at you, shit happens. It sucks, but I don't blame them.

*edit* nm

The scanner you linked to is still working for me. Also, a comparison of the new pics and the guy who was being arrested: Pretty hard to tell since it was such a crappy picture.

Was the Mulugeta person the guy they arrested?

They think he is, but they aren't really sure. I'm really surprised that they went up with a news helicopter instead of a police helicopter with an infra-red camera to track the guy if he runs.

Awesome, thanks.

People still want the nice HD video and commentary though. They'll be around with cameras and pundits, but the actual news will be dead (if it isn't already). Has anyone found a more stable police scanner stream? This one seems to be having a lot of issues.

It's pretty sad. They'd be better off playing the scanner stream and paying some guy to spam F5 on reddit.

That guy looks pretty white. Was he just an unfortunate person in the area or was he arrested? They are saying they don't have a second suspect in custody, and the first suspect was supposedly on his way to the hospital when that news footage was taken. Agreed. Just thought it was an...

Some guy on CNN just said they stripped the suspect completely before putting him in the car. Where did you hear about shots fired at mass general?
