    On the plagiarism, I don't see it. After all, musical notes are just seven. 😉

    You must not sing the blues...

    I prefer hard-rock. 😛

    Oh, well then you only need two notes... 😛

    You use notes in your hard rock???? Wow! It sure has changed since I was listening to it in the '80s!!!

    I thought it was just two power chords - not really notes.

    More like "move your hands in the vicinity of the strings until it sounds cool" and hit the drums with sticks until that sounds cool too, and you're good to go, last I checked.

    Need the advice of the Thread.

    Putting together an article on the most common backup errors (apart from not having one) and how to avoid them. I have four so far:

    Backing up files instead of creating backups (.mdf, ldf, you know)

    Running out of space on disk

    Log Filling up

    Only having differential backups available.

    Are there any glaring ones I'm missing here?

    One that I've seen which can lead to "Running out of space on disk" is to append indefinitely (never overwrite or expire) so that your .bak file gets extremely large.

    If that's what your government is discussing it's talking about fairly extreme state socialism, not real communism. State socialism is of course the starting point for totalitarian pseudo-communism as practised by Lenin and Stalin, and has no connection at all with real (Marxist or anarchistic) communism, syndicalism, or anarchic syndicalism, and only a slight connection with anarchistic socialism.

    That would come as a revelation to the local communist party. 🙂

    Yes, it probably would, as they appear (from ouside, where I sit) to be aiming for a standard pseudo-communist setup a la Stalin (or should that be "au Stalin" - is it English or is it still French used by English speakers?).

    It's what you get when some of the leaders of the ruling party revere Pres Mugabe as a shining example of the 'african agenda'

    Well, since they clearly want a totalitarian system in which they as the chief politicians have control of everything and don't have to give a s**t about anyone else it's quite natural for them to approve of Mugabe - after all, he has achieved what they want, and (like them, I believe) he didn't care what it cost his country or its people.

    The astounding thing is that a lot of their low-end followers (the guys who were rioting in the streets of JHB yesterday and are set to do the same today) also revere Mugabe. It's not hard to see that Zim did not turn out well for the common people, hell we've got enough of their population here. I suppose it's a blind belief that they'll be part of the elite. 🙁

    Looks like an accurate supposition to me. I just hope that SA doesn't go the way Zim did (actually to me it seems more likely to go the way a large chunk of what was once Yugoslavia did, which while better is still pretty awful, so I hope it doesn't end up that way either).

    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.
