Are the posted questions getting worse?

Gosh. The SPAM doesn't seem as bad as it was a couple of weekends ago but it's still about a quarter of the posts that are up right now. I know it's more difficult than it seems to detect and auto-delete it but most of the SPAM posts missed by that functionality contain only a URL. It seems like those should be pretty easy to identify and auto-delete.
It's also no wonder why the "membership" of SSC is quickly approaching the 2 million mark. SPAMing once under a user name and then spamming under another would make the "membership" skyrocket.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

The way things go around here this week and next, I think they should just make it official...Starting 7 working days before X-Mas, each day you take one hour off the number of hours people have to work...
So by the day before the holiday, you come in for about 2hrs and head out to enjoy the holiday with family and friends (or if you're a procrastinator, shopping for gifts...)
So if they make it official, would it match what already happens at your office?
It'd be close, it'd be close...
Fewer and fewer people here as it gets closer to the holiday, and the ones who are here (even to some extent myself) get slower and slower...
I'm much more in favor of the "Come in late and leave early to make up for it" policy. 😀
So, does that mean you could come in late enough that you would have had to leave before you got there to make up for it?
Does DBCC TIMEWARP allow for the possibility of meeting yourself on the way out the door as you're coming in late?

Ahhh I wanted to see a light saber! 🙂It doesn't apply, but lightsabers were banned in some theaters in the US. Others just banned masks and blasters. That's so sad in my opinion.

But you also need to take a long lunch.
The days that aren't so fun are when you come in early because then you have to skip lunch and stay late. :w00t:

I'm pretty sure mall security would have objected to a sabre with light-up blade.
I don't have one that's just the hilt yet.

Exactly... I pass a beer to myself on the way.

You forgot the most important part... you need to tell yourself where the beers are at, so you don't waste precious seconds finding them.

Bought this one in Portland - designed to upset as many sci-fi fans as possible - http://fashionablygeek.com/t-shirts/trolling-shirt/I love it!
Love it! Want it!
Fan of all three. Not melting down. Just laughing hysterically at my desk while my coworkers wonder what happened while I was on an extended vacation that has me acting all coo coo.
