Are the posted questions getting worse?

  • Guys, go and check this out. Either we have a measuring error or this guy is dealing with the single largest SQL Server installation I've heard about.

    He's backing up a 100TB log in 50 seconds? Am I wrong in thinking "WOW"?

  • Jeff, or anyone else that knows a heck of a lot more about decimals than I do, please go check this question on Ask.SQLServerCentral. I really don't have a clue, so I'm trying to find people who might.

    I have to find out what brand of disks they use. I think the stock jsut went up.

    Hate the UK. It's not the US 😉

    We can't hate the UK. They have really good beer.... Let's blame France instead. Their beer sucks.

    We can hate them both. Besides, they won't stop sending us beer. If you drink it, they'll keep exporting it.

    I replied on Ask, but thanks for posting the thread reference there too.

    I don't usually post on Ask because every time I click 'log in' it takes me back to SSC, and I have to fill in all my details again (including date of birth and country!). Very tedious.

    Weird. You should complain to the guys that run the site.

    Yeah I had no issue posting that as a comment, but I wasn't going to supply an answer.

    Um, no. And I'm making arrangements to have a rather large gentleman take away your share & send it over to me as well.

    You could always pass it on to Steve after you'd finished with it, it will still taste better than US beer, and we need the export trade. (I wonder how much they'd be willimg to pay for Gordon?)

    Hard to know. Guys like that tend to hide in the background. They're hard to track down sometimes. Especially if they're out sking, running, feeding horses, camping with the scouts or visiting English pubs.

    Bah there are plenty of breweries in American making wonderful beer, it's really unfortunate that they only ship ones to you from the large commercial breweries making American light lagers that do taste like something served on tap in the loo. We just like hops a lot more than you silly CAMRA folks...
