2009/9/23-10/5 [Computer/SW/Database] UID:53392 Activity:nil | 9/23 I never took CS188, is there a good book that's an intro to formal
database theory, normalization, etc.? I've got experience with SQL
(MySQL & MSSQL), and understand tables, etc.
\_ You mean CS186?
\_ Oops, yah. 188 is AI or something?
\_ That's right.

2009/7/28-8/6 [Computer/SW/Database] UID:53213 Activity:nil | 7/27 I have an actual technical question here. My MySQL DBA tells me
that I can't expect a MySQL port to be able to run effectively
on more than a two CPU box, he says that the extra CPUs will
sit there unused. Is this true? I have a bunch of new quad core
servers that I would like to use as Database machines. -ausman

2009/5/6-14 [Computer/SW/Languages/Perl, Computer/SW/Languages/Web] UID:52961 Activity:kinda low | 5/6 I'm sure you've seen web sites that distribute software by making
a user fill out a form and then e-mailing the user a randomly
generate link to the software that works just once. What software
is used to do this? I'd like to distribute software in such a way.
\_ "Software"? What web server/web application environment
are you using?

ordpress blog (mine, not someone else's)? tia.
\_ oh man.
\_ I could cobble something together with curl / wget, but I'd

pretty new to wordpress / blogging and I just want to keep

2012/2/26-3/26 [Politics/Foreign] UID:54315 Activity:nil | 2/26 I have dual citizenship. If I leave US and enter country Z, is
there a way I can make the immigration booth "stamp" both passports
(not necessarily stamp, but electronically record) such that both
countries know that I left US for country Z. Then, when I depart
country Z and head back to US, only provide the US passport? I'd
like to do this so country Z thinks that I am permanently residing

2009/9/14-21 [Politics/Domestic/Immigration, Politics/Domestic/SocialSecurity] UID:53361 Activity:nil | 9/14 Does anyone have the controversial book Bell Curve? I know
it has the political incorrect [and perhaps flawed] data that
shows certain race have higher IQ than other race and I'm

and East Orientals. I can't seem to Google for this information.

2009/5/26-30 [Politics/Domestic/Election] UID:53044 Activity:kinda low | 5/26 Is it correct to call someone the daughter of Puerto Rican
"immigrants"? Seems wrong to me. Puerto Ricans get US Passports.
\_ Yes it is correct.
\_ Thanks! Obama immigrated from Hawaii, right?
\_ Not the same. Doubly not the same in the early 50s. Go watch
yourself some West Side Story.

2008/10/23-28 [Computer/Rants, Politics/Foreign/Asia/China] UID:51647 Activity:nil | 10/23 why does OBama want my pie?
\_ Because you're too wealthy and should share with those who
