Actualy the MacBook Air seems pretty tough. When I had epilepsy I entered fugue states; my wife told me how I threw this thing across a room once. Another time I kicked it really hard and it slid right under the door to safety. I have also rolled on top of it during convulsions. The only reason I have it at all is that it used to be hers, until water got spilled on it last year and it immediately died, so I got her another one. A year later we were moving, and I dug it out of the closet. I was about to throw it out but tested it one last time- it booted right up again! I guess it needed a couple months to dry out. So now we have two of them. My "real" computer is running Win 7 in the other room. I use this thing for what it was designed- posting crap on the Internet while sitting around on a couch surrounded by empty beer bottles.

I added a section to the website just for you. Don't you feel special?

Target Audience

This tool is meant for use by experienced systems programmers who have extensive experience with one or more of the supported databases.

If you are in management and find the "buzzwords" and "technobabble" confusing, you really should have one of your senior developers look at the site and try out the tool. They're the ones who should be making technology decisions.

If you consider yourself a "programmer" and you find the "buzzwords" and "technobabble" confusing, then the odds are I'm trying to automate your job out of existence.

But be careful what you post to Crackbook. I *have* been investigated and questioned for "flaming out" on the Harpercrite in the past.

Yes, they really *do* watch what you say and look for "threats", even if it turns out to be a pissed off Canuck venting about the goobernmint and not an actual gun-wielding bomb-planting terrorist.

Absolutely terrified. Obummer is going to call for a drone strike on a mouthy Canuck when he's got his hands full with *actual* terrorists, drug dealers, and wars. :P

The key to survival in the surveillance world is simple: Never do anything that actually *matters* or is *worthy* of their attention. :D
