Just submitted my request to attend PASS this year. (First Time)
Really hope it gets approved. :Whistling:
However, I just noticed the housing block is all sold out. Maybe, I should really be hoping I don't end up in a hotel too far from the conference.

Now if only all websites used the same algorithm to determine whether a password is strong enough.....

That's a neat approach and one I've never even considered. What I do know for sure is that having all these passwords are a complete pain. I hate using any single password for more than one thing, so they pile up.

Silver spoon, you are in the wrong business.Let's comment out the COMMIT and ROLLBACK statements in code during testing because I don't want to have to restore the database between tests during testing.
Oh, let's have tempdb on its own disk and then try to shrink it because the disk is running out of space. Wait, it tempdb is the only thing on the disk, doesn't it make sense that the problem is that tempdb is trying to grow larger than the disk there by causing the out of space problem? How is shrinking tempdb supposed to solve this problem when it may occur again because of bad code or other processes?
It doesn't matter how many times I remeasure and make another cut. It's still too short! What am I doing wrong? 😉
Wish I hadn't been taking a drink of water when I read that. Can I borrow it for awhile?

Use a password manager and stop worrying.

Agreed. Once I started using one I never looked back.

New info from one of his threads today. Yes, he fixed a problem running CHECKDB with the REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS. That's great, let's not even look into what the possible data corruption is, let's just take a chance and maybe lose some data.
September 1, 2015 at 1:43 pm
It probably did nothing, since the error was in code and repair can't fix that (short of deallocating pages from the system tables)
Though he said nothing about using the REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS option. What he posted is the syntax definition of CheckDB from Books online.
Why don't you just leave him be, since his threads appear to annoy you so much?

My password manager will let me know how good my passwords are and whether or not I've used them for more than one site.

As much as he annoys me, I still manage to find ways to help him at times. Even noids need our help.

I use KeePass and it will generate a new password for every time I need a new one. They are sufficiently ridiculous but you can copy and paste the password so you don't have to remember them. You just have to remember the master password to open your personal data file.

Do you have to copy and paste passwords to log in to a site? LastPass can usually log you in automatically.

Ohhh that sounds pretty slick. Can you share your passwords across devices easily? It is super handy to have all my passwords right on my phone, laptop and desktop.
