You are assuming that a) they actually read the articles explaining why they are bad solutions and b) that they know enough to know that it's a bad solution...
I'll join you in the headdesk-ing today, however. I'm chasing gremlins...

I could ask the same question. I spent way longer than I would have liked over at SQLTeam earlier replying to someone's garbage advice on several corruption threads.

This particular piece of advice, which doesn't have a whole lot to do with the OPs problem (other than the bit about shrinking the files after doing something that is unrelated to the issue).

Sorry, is the cynical side showing again?

I suddenly get this image of Boo (from Monsters, Inc.) raising her arms and going "RRAWR."
Don't ask me why I'm equating you with Boo. You have a sword, she doesn't. But I've had Boo on the brain lately.

If you like superheroes, you will like "Grayson" (They created this trailer with an 18,000 dollar budget).

Jason, you need to change that out for the image of Boo in her monster costume. @=)

Makes me miss film making. I love getting guerilla shots. You should see Sgt. Kabukiman. I was responsible for a lot fo the second unit shots in that film. We went around NYC hopping out of the van, dropping the tripod, rip of four shots & run.
