I was in a library... :P

But here's what I got from the copy of "Anarchy, State, and Utopia" by Robert Nozick that I've been lugging around to fill the quiet time.

The question that remains is whether each person will choose to do his B action or his C action. (We need consider only the truncated Matrix III, which collapses D(D') into C(C') anw hich omits A and A', since neither loses if the other one does his A action.)So long as x<10, as it apparently is (being in an unorganized state of nature with respect to someone is less preferred than being in the dominant protective association while he is not), B strongly dominates C, and B' strongly dominates C'. So in the absence of moral constrains, two rational individuals would do B and B'.

Not very exciting out of context, don't yet know how exciting it is within context as I'm still on page 20. :P

By using a bind value, the same piece of SQL and the same "execution plan" will be resued over and over again, even though a different bind value is supplied for each query.Therefore, for databases that support it, using bind values with prepared statement handles can quite dramatically increase the performance of your applications and the efficiency of your database. This is especially significant when trying to insert many records.

Well, that's what I got from Programming the Perl DBI by Alligator Descartes & Tim Bunce. Yes, those are the author's names...and while, technically this was not the closest book at the time, it's the first one I saw as my copy of Handbook of Mathematical Tables and Formulas by Burington was hidden behind the phone.

Stephen King - Bad Of Bones

"Why, he got the idea that Mars was heaven, I thought. The TR much has seemed like heaven to them, right up until Sara and Kito went for a stroll, the boy carrying his berry bucket, and never came back. It must have seemed that they'd finally found a place where they could be black people and still be allowed to breathe."
