Better yet, what if people just started throwing in a couple hundred pages of fiction (story form) into their SQL books?As in BOL :w00t:
I wish. BOL has been losing stuff, though it has become a mystery as I have to start guessing which category a DMV might be in to find it.
I suspect the theory is that Bing is so beautiful that the books of BOL (eg Transact-SQL Reference) no longer need an index as as well as the nested chaper structure. I guess that's a result of forgetting what a reference book is for combined with believeing teh company's own propaganda about it's seach engine :angry:.

BOL is getting old and you know what they say is the second thing to go as you get older?
I forget what that is. 😉

Yeah, I saw that. If it isn't a scam, it sounds like it would be a full time job.

Definitely something to avoid.

Maybe this guy saw that story about the programmer who outsourced all his own work to China for a fraction of his salary and thought, "That sounds like a great idea!"? 🙂

Just a wee bit scary.

It was 3 jobs as I recall.
And what did him in was handing out remote access, not the programming he got back.
He must have been able to describe the work well.

Any one else see this?
Interesting case, not a very good article, the author even tries to equate open source with public domain which is completely wrong.

In general I agree. I use search often. However when I don't know the name of a DMV to search for, it's maddening that I can't figure out under which category something lives.
The other thing online at least is that I struggle to confine my searches to SQL Server sometimes. I get all this .NET, Sharepoint results, which are a failure.

Who's getting a Surface 3? Or wants one?
Up in the air on this whole thing, but I'll admit it's tempting, depending on price.

I'll admit it is tempting. I was looking at Pro 2's recently to buy but the desired configuration (like most of the configurations) was out of stock.

While interesting, I think it's pretty silly. In short, Oracle wants money from Google so they dreamed up something to sue them over. Just like Apple sued over zooming and over the lack of external ports on the Galaxy, the whole legal mess over some of this stuff is just wasteful. Just imagine what these companies could do if they took all the money they put into litigation and put it into innovation and development.

They didn't just dream something up, they (actually Sun) built the API and the ability to determine where the API can subsequently be used is what the case is about.
