Bullshit. That's the same tired tripe they've been pushing since well before the civil rights movement. You can't discriminate against blacks and you can't discriminate against gays. Get used to it.
Actually, in a democracy you can discriminate against whoever the hell you want as long as the majority agrees with you. Get used to it.
Which is why the United States is not a Democracy, nor has it ever been.
The United States is a Representative Constitutional Republic, and always has been.
I think the reason for the Founder's decision on this form of Government couldn't be clearer, just look at the country today.
You've got an overwhelming majority...who believe utter nonsense.
When you think about it, our system is really only one of two that could contain itself long enough to achieve so-called "Superpower Status". The other (apparently, looking at history) was Communism (speaking of the former Soviet Union).
However, seeing as the United States is still here and still retains it's Superpower status, I believe we've proven that only the mixture of Democracy and Authoritarianism that is the "Representative Republic" form of Government can withstand the long haul of time.
RFC's are like democracy, it is the worst form of government known on the face of the planet, it is just better then everything else we have tried thus far.
At their best they are precise and ambiguous, at their worst they are inscrutable and comprehensible.
Specifications via consensus means that every pissant and their cousin gets to have a whack at making sure their sacred ox does not get gored, or conversely making sure that the sacred ox of someone they don't like does in fact get gored and gored badly.
Having actually sat down and traced through a few of these I feel your pain. At some point they pretty much kinda work, sorta, maybe. After a couple of cocktails and a few huffy e-mails you might actually get to grips with whatever the problem is and get some work done. Unfortunately by then you have forgotten what the hell you were trying to do in the 1st place.
"Whatever the problem is, it's hard to believe it's Windows' fault."
Are you serious? Oh right, I forgot that all things that go wrong with Windows nowadays is someone else's fault - the user is stupid, it was a virus, shitty 3rd party applications, bad hardware, etc. etc.
I don't understand. Why doesn't your RDBMS take care of that?
Alternately, couldn't you just split it in two columns and merge on A and B instead of just A?
