I've been struggling a bit with importing XML. I posted about it and someone suggested articles in the series by Jacob Sebastian on this site. There's some good information there, but I'd appreciate if anyone here could check my post and make more suggestions.
Steve, there are a lot of articles on XML by this author, but they're all kind of hard to navigate, having to sift through all his other articles and try to figure out what each is about by title and summary text. Is there any plan to group articles like this as topics or even to include them as Stairway articles or something similar? I think it'd make a great addition to the site to have topics grouped like that.

I've heard mutterings about using Kinect for that. With it's facial recognition it can lock the computer when you get up, unlock when you sit down.Would probably take a lot of work to get implemented though
Read about this in Coding Isis this weekend, paired with a RFID card. Seemed like a neat solution, though certainly not foolproof.

Forum: What?
OP: SQL Server is only using 60 GB of memory and I have max memory set at 100 GB.

I mean really? This is a problem?

Yeah, for the guy who is trying to sell you more hardware.

Don't you know how much money they invested in that 64-bit server and all that memory? All going to waste!

That looks like an interesting book. Let me know what you think of it when you're done, please.

I suggest distributed computing could make use of the excess.
I wonder if they complain that when they drive to work, they can't keep the gas pedal to the floor?

For distributed computing, you need lots of excess, starting with load balancers that themselves are usually heavily underutilized. And to make it make sense, worker machines ought to be well below 50 percent.

This person has an urgent problem with a SQL 2k8R2 upgrade gone south on the master db. He's polite and feels it's very urgent, and is pretty thorough. Anyone up to the task?

Wow. That's disappointing. Sounds like the author tried to shove too many stories in one book.

Hey, Steve. How is the ranch doing? How far is the wildfire from you?
And any other Threadzians who live in Colorado... Are you all okay?

My sister-in-law and her husband are in Golden. AFAIK, they're okay. I am concerned for them, though.

So, I'm moving to a new laptop. And trying to decide whether to stick with my dev environment installed locally on the machine, or building a/several virtuals to put it in.
I've worked both ways in the past, and there are pros and cons to both methods.
How do you guys manage portable dev environments? Virtuals, or local installs? More importantly, what's the reasoning behind your choices?
Thanks in advance!
