Am looking for proof-reader for article on reasons for transaction log space not being reused. Any takers?
Me! I volunteer!

Not sure you want cookies from SA sent around the world.

If the USA isn't the center of the world, why does it seem like a lot of people keep gravitating to it?

Am completely not serious. Am joking. No real insults intended.

Real insult taken, however! This means war! Now we're going to have to invade ... wait, where is South Africa anyway? Is that in California or Oregon or someplace?

You're thinking of New Mexico, which is its own country all together (the story's about halfway down), despite being smack dab in the middle of the United States.

On a more joyous note, I ran across this link on MSDN's Channel 9
http://whathappenedinmybirthyear.com/
Go ahead, go to it, input your year of birth, now it is not video, but HTML and runs a little slow.
It can be exciting or sobering depending upon your year of birth, but it is a relief from the press of SQL problems, and sobering to learn what "new" technology was introduced in the year of your birth, and to reflect on where that "new" stuff has gone in the interim between your birth year and today.
Have fun and enjoy it!

The entry for 1969 is so rife with typos and errors I just had to shut it down.

What, me being serious? On a topic other than database or maths? Are you crazy or something?

YIKES! Sorry Tom. Note to self: When up for over 24 hours dry humor does not connect to funny bone. I must not presume.

Anyway, Why would anyone (apart from Al Qaida) want the USA to be at the centre of the earth? It's very hot and high pressure down there, I'd be surprised if anyone survived going there. About 4000 miles from the centre of the earth is better.

Well, at least we'd be properly positioned as those American Devils!

Me too. 😉

I hadn't even considered that. I was totally just thinking of all the freeloaders in the states making the US a black hole.

BWAHAHAHAH. That drawing must be from the Palin camp. Note how Alaska looks to be about the same size as the Continental U.S. 😀

heh. Well, you do know what Alaskans say to Texams, right?

Remember... if you split Alaska in half, Texas would be the third largest state. 😛
