Has anyone gotten the newsletter today? I have not and I keep getting a notification email for the same post.
Got mine a bit late, but apart from this thread taking 2 minutes to open nothing abnormal.

Thanks guys. I got mine about 2 minutes AFTER I posted about it here. Usually it is waiting in my inbox when I wake up, so I have something to read when I first boot up the PC.

So either you have a magical inbox, or the inbox is not on your PC 🙂

And with this post I neatly arrive at 7000 points! :w00t::w00t::w00t::hehe::hehe::hehe:
(and like Sheldon in the Big Bang Theory, I like nice round even numbers. 7000 points total, 4000 for the forums, 3000 for the QotD. Yes, I timed this)

Time to burst your bubble, Sheldon.
7 and 4 are not round numbers.:-D

7000 and 4000 are 😛
Divisible by 2, 5, 10, 100 and 1000 (and a lot more!)

Look, the first invisible car?
I think it might create some problems if those were let loose in traffic.;-)

You might have a different point of view then:
8000 is a round number. 7000 and 4000 both contain digits with edges (7 rsp. 4). So those can't be round numbers 😀

Precisely my point. Round numbers don't have sharp points.

You are right. Not just here but in almost every forum I see an increasing number of questions on very basic concepts. Perhaps RTFM should be the initial response.Woohoo, on-topic again!
Back off-topic: apparently SQL Server 2012 RTM is released (evaluation edition).
General availability is for the first of April. Why does that make me skeptical?
No need to be skeptical. It will be available on the 1st.
I wonder if that was a carefully chosen date? :w00t:
Are we all supposed to think "Only fools would buy this one"? :hehe:

It might be a joke, but it's a poor one at that. I suspect someone didn't look at the calendar carefully and was aiming for the quickest they could get it out. However with Apr 1 being a Sun, I'm not sure that was the best choice. I suspect we'll really see general availability on Apr 2

Never stop learning, even if it hurts. Ego bruises are practically mandatory as you learn unless you've never risked enough to make a mistake.

First problem would be how would you find your invisible car and if you walked into it .. next how would you find the door key lock to open the door so you could drive it ?

[/url](if SOPA got through, this site could be taken down)
Not without due process of proper notification and the opportunity to comply. 😉
That's not correct.
The last version of SOPA applied only to websites not operated from the USA, and as Steve is USA based it can clearly be argued that the website is operated from the USA.
If it were a non-USA site, then SOPA might apply; but the rights holders would then have to notify USA-based "intermediaries" (companies who provide payment services to or pay for advertisements on the site, search engines that list the site, web directories that list the site, pretty well anyone else who links to the site whether directly or indirectly, any DNS provider that resolves the site's address) NOT the offending site: it would be up to intermediaries to notify the offending site, which then would have a chance to provide a refutation; if it didn't, the DoJ might obtain a court order instructing the intermediaries to cease acting for it/dealing with it (so it comes out of DNS, out of search engines, no-one in the USA can link to it or to anyone who links to it directly or indirectly) if intermediaries didn't take those actions of their own accord without waiting for a court order (intermediaries have no obligation to pay any attention to refutations, or to wait to see if they get them before taking action) and note that this applies to the domain, not to the offending pages. There appears to be no concept of "take-down" here (at least no "take-down" of the offending material by the site organiser, just a "take-down" of the offending domain by the USA), so the result of a notification is either that the site proves its innocence (notice on whom the burden of proof is placed) or it gets cut out of the USA view of the internet (of course a real pirate site won't be cut out: it will have a new domain name and IP address within minutes of receiving a notice from one of the intermediaries - and be back in business next time a search engine indexes it, which is probably within a day; of course real pirate sites don't rely on advertising revenue, and don't have to use a US-based merchant payment handler).
That's just the first part of SOPA. The next section makes any unauthorised streaming of copyright material a criminal offence. Stream a 2-second clip taken from an ancient hollywood movie 10 times during any period of 12 months and you would be liable for 5 years in gaol (if you stream at real time that means if you accidentally put that clip on your site - cut-and-paste error, detect your error and repair it withing a few seconds, if 10 people just happened to pick the thing up and download it in those few seconds the although there never previously was nor ever will again be any unauthorised copyright material on your site you can be put away for 5 years) - an extension of the already well-established USAmerican system of treating innocent people as serious criminals in order to allow the plutocrats to destroy someone who has done them no real harm in the (almost certainly vain) hope of discouraging someone who actually wants profit from stealing their stuff.
Another chunk of the act would allow big Pharma or IR to get DoJ to require DNS not to resolve Canadian pharmacies - even the ones who provide genuine drugs, not fakes, and only provide material against prescriptions from licensed physicians.
According to Representative Lamar Smith, some of the nonsense was going to be ripped out of the bill; but it appears to have died before much of that happened. Accordng to other advocates of the Bill, it made clear distinctions between commercial activity and non-commercial - but every lawyer I've heard from reckons that the drafting is so thoroughly that much non-commercial activity that is currently lawful would become not lawful if it were to become law. The RIAA claimed both that the DNS bits would be compatible with DNS-SEC and that only individual IP address-domain pairs (so not all IP addresses for a domain) would be blocked in DNS, which is clearly not possible (there's no way a DNS-SEC compliant search result could be delivered which didn't contain the complete address set for the domain), and the DNS-SEC principle that a DNS-Client should tries alternative DNSs whenever it gets either no answer or a non-compliant answer would turn every piece of software containing a DNS-SEC compliant DNS-Client into illegal software (software which attempts to bypass the DNS-blocking imposed by SOPA would be made illegal), so SOPA means it is illegal to produce, possess, or use a DNS-SEC compliant browser or FTP client.
