SQL is an initialism, not an acronym.

The guy that used to do the music, though, is out, and a new guy is in. I'm hoping that this isn't indicative of what's to come.

While not mentioned, IBM's POWER processors are also vulnerable to this new (and the old!) set of attacks, and they have already released patches for it.

You must be too young to remember Crocodile Dundee II. Or, maybe you've purged that movie from memory.

All of you are wrong. This is clearly the start of Stargate's Goa'uld, who pass on their memories genetically.

Yeah, but what about loose items from the rear that go flying forward? I'd much rather those strike the back of my seat than my face. The obvious answer would be to secure everything, but that's just not going to happen. I'd hate to have a soft drink can, tablet, groceries, etc. embedded in my...

Just got back from watching it. It's really a very, very good movie. It answers none of the questions from the first movie (I think, at least, but there will be endless arguments about that), and ends with more questions. My only compliant was that the music was too loud at times. Yes, it's...

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean that they're not out to get you!

Best episode in a long, long time. I was glad when Bill was shot; worst companion in a long, long time. Interesting that they made her the first Cyberman, though. I'm in agreement with the previous poster, though: Zathras really made the episode.

I'm a consultant that does work for several banks that still run on IBM POWER hardware, and run OS/400 (yeah, I still use the old name!) natively. Some use VIOS to control hardware, but that is an overhead for the larger banks. My clients use RPG (one of the best languages ever invented)...

All this talk of changing race and/or sex during a regeneration, and nobody mentions the scene in Hell Bent where, after The Doctor shoots another Time Lord, said Time Lord regenerates from a white male to a black female on screen. That scene alone provides enough basis for a non-white...

I never knew that such things even existed on Earth.

"Don't be evil."

Saw it last night in IMAX 3D. Was quite good, and will see it again. Spoiler discussions:

Count me in as one of the losers below three megabit. I have a 2.5/1 Mb DSL connection, though I am much more happy now, as it was just a 1/1 connection. When servicing the connection a couple of months ago, we (the Frontier [yeah] technician and I) noticed that the copper bundle was touching...

There shouldn't be an apostrophe here.

You're thinking about radiation from the Sun. Jupiter's radiation is what they're talking about, and it's not a small amount.

Saw it Saturday night, and loved it. There were six of us in the theater: myself and a friend, a dad with his ten year old son, and a couple in their early seventies. I would have thought that the dad and son wouldn't have lasted ten minutes, but all six of us sat through the end credits...

I still have an old IBM PS/2 (no HDD) that boots off of a 5.25" MS-DOS 3.0 disk. I've even got two games that still work for it. Even more rare, I had a client last month bring me a set of eight inch floppies to read, to get some old ASCII line-printer art off of. I had to fire up an old...
