Why are you arguing this point? Do you believe the USA is the best country on the planet?

Which is why I despair of America. Last Presidential election, between Hudge and Grudge, 98% of the voting public voted for the lesser evil. And thus still voted for evil.

but should NEVER be part of a logical primary key.

I wouldn't say never. The odd case would be in the table held data by the minute or second or the like.

But, i share your adamant stand against it it nearly all cases.

The issue with any traffic engineer, is that there's actually no science supporting traffic engineering. It's voodoo. And if you say that to anyone who deals with traffic, they act like you dessicated their shrine. Sure, some individual parts have science (traffic flow). But when proven false (California flows better than stated, other places worse) they will persist on using the proven wrong models, rather than trying to solve for reality.

A human factors study into lights, and having the colors/flashing change to help improve flow/compliance isn't what they do. "Fuck you, red lights are read and solid" is the closest to a discussion they will have with you.

And when they do "fix" it, they'll charge the hacker with the cost of fixing systems they knew were insecure for 30 years.

The training and SOPs for new processes, at the very minimum. Perhaps new control systems for the "secure" interface, at the cost of billions.

This was not entirely unexpected, given the nature of the data (floating inventory moving through a factory and a warehouse- sometimes it returns to the same location in three dimensional space, but is unique in four dimensions). But it sure would have been nice if they could have given me a scan sequence number as well; a date time field is nice for reporting but should NEVER be part of a logical primary key.

I had to add the time field in to achieve a unique logical key.

:(

Good people not only permit it, good people vote for it. They want this to come to pass.

I'm looking at the effects for his base. Oh, not the fake base like the poor people in Ferguson who expected him to stop white cops from shooting their children- but his true base, in New York and Chicago, who expect him to relieve them of certain costs of doing business.

That is to say, the base that will provide campaign funding for decades to come. Getting elected is a side job to the eternal campaign.

What you fail to gasp is that the Tyrant, in his Benevolence, has locked up everybody- and is slowly letting out the people who do NOT accept his Tyranny. You've fallen for the lie that Hell is a punishment, rather than a reward.

Would be by running for city council, mayor, and voting.

The idea that a black town would have a white mayor, a white police chief, and a mostly white police force is very strange indeed.

The real racists in Ferguson are the ones who see this case as being "a white officer shot a black suspect" rather than "a white police captain didn't know enough about racism to have black officers patrolling a black neighborhood" followed by "five shots are enough, if the suspect is on his knees, a sixth shot is not necessary" followed by "when black people are rioting, white people in Vietnam era camo is not going to be a solution" followed by "once trust is lost, not even a black State Police Captain is the answer" followed by "looters, reporters, cops, and the National Guard all invade a town trying to recover from a tragedy of stupidity".

A hand grenade doesn't eliminate witnesses, but a nuke does.

What you fail to see is that the NWO has already come to pass, in a way that guarantees the next guy will be worse.
