Any chance I can get some help here: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1225123-1550-1.aspx?Update=1
I'm having an issue with two RESTORE DATABASE jobs not killing completely.

Yeah whatever. Maybe not in title, but more knowledgeable than most.

She's a Dev, so am I. Doesn't mean we can't kick butt there too :-D.

You may not be one, but you're better than most of them. (BTW - thanks for that!)

+1. And just for emphasis: Whatever.
Oh, Jonathan's book that you (Gail) tech edited rocks! I bought 10 print copies as give away's in presentations. Arrived a few days ago. Since you get no money from the book, I'll buy you a beer next year at the pass summit. Thanks once again for your hard work.

Ahem...
10 bonus points for who got the reference 🙂
I had the impulse to make a similar reference.
You can have his mask now
and there are instructions various places for making your own.

Hope your audience appreciates them. Buy Jonathan (or Tony) the beer. If you insist, you can get me coffee.

I loved that post. I don't have the ability to watch videos at work and forgot to watch last night, but the way they made the slowest one was fascinating.

Interesting, kind-a. The second video didn't seem all that amazing to me. Either I don't understand, or I'm not enough of a science geek to get it.

You're watching the progression of a pulse of light as it moves over an object, at 300 000 000 m/s
Like watching slo-mo of a bullet through an apple, except this time it's light, moving many, many, many times faster than the bullet.

I think it's similar to this explanation of photos taken of plane propellers[/url], we're really seeing layered snapshots of a photon pulse moving through the target, recreated as a composite video shot, not truly seeing one pulse, because that can't be captured.

anybody watch Animaniacs? Reminds me of the one where they're talking to Einstein, and he's "calculating the speed of light" by pulling the chain on the lamp with one hand and holding a stopwatch in the other. *pull* *click* "oh, dat's fast!" :hehe:

Yup, same kind of principal.
It's impossible to create a camera that can take frames at the trillions/sec that would be required to see a single pulse of light move, so they take multiple pulses at regular intervals and take one frame per pulse, slightly offset. Still looks pretty astounding.
