    So they reportedly turned off the internet in Egypt.

    'Makes me wonder how easy it would be to do that here in the US or in England?

    Would be very easy here. The entire infrastructure (data lines and phone lines) are all run by a partially government owned company. Plus with only 2 undersea cables providing all international internet access, shutting the ends of those down would cut off all but satellite connections.

    What would be the consequence for applications connected to a could database ??

    No business ??

    Yes, but Cloud's not used all that much here. Bandwidth (especially international) is expensive and limited.

    edit: I missed a whole page of comments - must have skipped accidentally from page 1 direct to page 3 without passing page 2 and without collecting essential information 🙁 - a bit like a monopoly go to jail card

    Just set your account up to see more posts/page (it can go up to 50), and you won't have that problem! 😀

    I'll try it at 30 - 50 could be a pain when the local backbone is a bit choked.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

    Anyone checked out www.sqltidbits.com? I always wonder when someone starts a new site.

    Jack, are you trying to link to an SSC thread? That's what the link comes up with (EDIT: When directly clicked on) and gives a 404 error.

  • Does anyone else have problems surfing the site?

    I can browse through the forums, but if I want to go to the home page, I get a Maintenance page.

    Hmm, I'm still getting the maintenance page.

    I flushed the DNS cache and restarted my browser, but to no avail...

    Did you clear all the cookies and temp files out of your browser cache? (Not the same thing as the DNS cache).

  • If the poster said that, I don't blame you for slapping down. The question is, how diplomatic were you?

    I wasn't mean or cruel, but I certainly wasn't diplomatic.

    He was pretty diplomatic about it. Far more diplomatic than my first thought upon seeing it.
