    Bit, you're a Buckeye?

    Heck no ...Born and raised in the borough of Brooklyn in the city of New York .. U.S.A. and as soon as of legal age moved .... to Virginia ...

    In Ohio so my better half can be close to her family.

    Seriously - I wish to apologize if my posting on that new offer from Microsoft offended you ...

    If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

  • In the NFL all my ties are to the Giants, but they didn't look that great on offense last night. To me, the Cowboys beat them everywhere but on the scoreboard.

    Grant,

    One very important question, copyright on the article, who owns it?

    You do.

    We get exclusive rights for... some period of time I don't recall, a year or less. It's your copyright, all the way.

    Would you please confirm the time period for exclusive rights for publication? I didn't see anything on the site you you linked.

  • Can't search back. Which site, Lynn?

    It is a 12 month exclusive from the date of final acceptance (basically when you complete copy editing). PASS also gets a republish right. After the year, you can take the same material and sell it again, without changes.

    Jeez, do you people not know me by now? Does my avatar not speak for itself? Or are we becoming paranoid by all the posters being offended by the slightest touch?

    Take nothing I say seriously. Ever. Unless it's an apology for a bad or misconstrued joke. 😀

    And since I meant 'Buckeye' as a geographic term more than a loyalty issue, I'll accept your answer and ignore the "Heck, no". How northern? I'm in Columbus, wondering what SQL Server group meetings are in the area.

    Okay. For the pay for an article for SQL Standard, I can live with that, it is just something I wanted to know up front.

    Thank you.

  • Steve, saw the article on Indeed.com findings for SQL Server and had a thought based on blogs from you, Andy Warren, etc.

    Ran "linkedin,twitter,webpage,facebook,myspace" into it and got some interesting results. Check it out, seems a very good way to validate what you keep saying about the value of social networking, and which ways are more beneficial than others.

    The link is in this post.

    Slide 19 states that 625K rows were selected from a 1 trillion row table in .11 seconds (Yes that is 11 hundredths of one second).

    Are you sure? Reason I ask is because when I read it it was 11 secs, not 0.11 secs - just wondering if it's a PP format converter funny?

    Good spot tho - nice. 🙂

    Direct from thier website:

    Authors are paid $500 for articles that are accepted and completed as scheduled.

  • Damn... Thats pretty good. 🙂 So the standard will be pretty high... Then my article is probably going to be rejected... :hehe:

    Have confidence Roy, have confidence, and remember the down side that $500 will pay for just about half the beer consumed by members of the thread when we all help you celebrate.

    If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
