Box set of Star Trek: The Next Generation DVDs. All seasons.You guys don't need me for the next month or so, do you?
Remember, the awesomeness of an episode is directly related to Frakes / Riker's facial hair level.
Bare-faced Riker == bad / boring episodes.
Riker with a beard == Awesome episodes...

Sweet awesomeness: Dr. Who StampsI spent 10 minutes trying to figure out how to send all my friends a letter from the UK, finally realized that the easiest (and cheapest) is going to be to get the stamps and just include one in addition to the regular postage (as a "decoration" rather than postage). Can't wait until March!

Santa was certainly good to you, Lynn 🙂
I got a lump of coal. :angry:

My fun little bit of excitement today:
I work in a different building from our servers. Connectivity between buildings was down. We had a crisis where I needed to connect, so I had to go home to be able to VPN in. Hooray technology!

Sadly, the energy content of a single lump of coal is woefully inadequate to warm the cockles of TDF's cold, cold heart.

Doesn't that depend on (a) the size of the lump and (b) how the energy is obtained?
Of course using something like total conversion would more likely destroy the cockles of TDF's cold, cold heart than warm them, unless the lump was very small indeed. But ordinary chemical combustion using atmospheric oxygen should release enough energy if the lump's surface area is, say, about 100 square feet (a cube with 49 inch edges would fit the bill).
But the problem would of course remain that once the lump is used it will no longer be available for re-use.

Well, let's assume a lump of coal that will fit into a men's size 10-13 sock, in keeping with the Christmas tradition here in the U.S.A., and a means of extracting the energy no more efficient than modern pulverization methods. The specific heat of the heart of one as curmudgeonly as The Dixie Flatliner is enormous, though the impact of this characteristic on the amount of heat required to warm it is somewhat offset by the typically smaller size of such a heart. I haven't done the precise calculations, but back-of-the-envelope math suggests that the given lump of coal will be woefully inadequate to the task.

I emphatically deny the frigidity of my cockles, and as a corollary deny the need for the lump of cold to be used to warm them. I neither affirm nor deny the postulated size of the aforesaid cockles.

Constantly amazed by the number of people who think that full backups truncate the transaction log. Where do they get such ideas?To be honest, I can see it from their side. Since the FULL backup does have the word "FULL" in it and it DOES make a skeleton for the log file, you'd think that MS would at least give the option for it to backup and truncate the log file all in one simple step.
I agree. From a basic "thinking this through" it seems as though a full backup is a misnomer. It doesn't clear the log.
At first. Understanding more means that you realize you need the log to be cleared for this to work.

Enjoy. I watched them for almost a year while running on the treadmill and got through them all. Doing Voyager now
