OK, AC or not, this fucking made me laugh my ass off. TYVM...

No one is saying it's gonna help with 320 GB of raw data. Clearly it will not. Where it might help is with recomputing the 27 different cubes the various business units want. Every day. Open your eyes. No one says this is for everyone. It has targeted uses. 1 use: recomputing compute-heavy cubes. Every Day. With pricing data, I would think your bosses would be sporting particularly large woodies, just dreaming about the realtime info they could be getting, oh, perhaps every hour even? Lots o' opportunity for floating point calcs there, no? Or are they just collecting the data? Hmm, did I just give away a business idea? Screw it. Contact me and throw me .1% when you make it real. Hell , hire me to help you make it real.

Card Revoked.
Back to the future? Buehler?

I'm admittedly guessing here, but you're basically saying that the only person / group who is able to perform this attack would actually have to be so rich that they wouldn't need to perform this attack?

Or, they might be extremely rich and simply decide to destroy the Bitcoin currency for some personal reason? ( hate, jealousy, lack of control, whatever...)

I think I can live with that. This person/group would then also be able to destabilize most other currencies in the world, possibly even China, US and EU currencies?

I woulda given you a funny if you hadn't posted anon....

That was absolutely HORRIBLE, and yet I found myself laughing my ass off. Thank you....

Bah, Timeline, Shmimeline. Q promised he'd come back for me when I asked!

Speak for yourself. I plan to live forever.

Bingo. No matter WHAT you do, you have almost zero chance of success.

Any programmer who, in this day and age, writes code as you describe, is DOING IT ON PURPOSE to extend their "worth" to the company, by being obtuse.

I feel your pain, but unless you are really close friends with this person, or can BECOME very close friends, I think you're SOL.

So actually, now that I just thought of it, you could become close friends with the dinosaur, and THEN, perhaps, guide him/her?
Good luck my friend...

Why is it Always that I have no mod points when I need them? Very nice Sir!

Actually, in my personal experience, virtualbox sucks ass running inside win 7 64 pro.
I purchased parallels and am MUCH happier with it. Not that parallels is perfect either, but it sure as hell is more stable.

virtualbox crashed guests regularly and the host on occasion.

Just my 2 cents...

The only people who misinterpreted that were the dolts who do NOT leave when are clearly told to, and the ones who go out and buy 5 dozen eggs, 4 gallons of milk, and 27 loaves of bread when they ARE told to. I got you just fine.

Someone mod this up. Shouldn't have posted anon my friend!

He's using standard bulbs for the heat AND light. Will have to use the much more expensive, MUCH more fragile brooder/heat lamps from now on. Or go stock up!
