  • RE: Has the culture of this web site changed?

    GilaMonster (8/31/2011)


    How does someone honestly justify treating other people like that?

    Because he knows no one's going to show up at his door with a baseball bat.

    ...it's not about what might be defined as "dumb" because often what might be defined as "dumb" is just not knowing or understanding

    Exactly. 'Ignorant' is not knowing a...

    Ironically Gail, that's the exact person I had in mind when I made my comment about Oracle forums.

    I don't think that's coincidental. That person's attitude is well-known in the...

    Some years back, I was a regular contributor in Oracle forums and I can assure you that the "snarky-ness level" is much higher there.

    You want to store your data in cunieform on low-fired clay tablets.

    Can someone please tell me the collation setting for Cunieform? I can't seem to find it.

  • RE: Keep Data Forever

    This sounds like an annual project: verify long-term backups are on supported media, and in a usable format.

  • RE: Talking baseball

    Rich Harden (the A's starter) actually only gave up 2 runs through the first 4 innings. At that point, it was 7-2, A's.

    From the 5th inning on, the Yankees scored...

    Three grand slams?!? 22 runs???

    Are you kidding me???

    I know, right? Down 7-1, everyone thought the route was on.

    They just didn't know it would be a route for...

  • RE: You Can Telecommute

    Steve Jones - SSC Editor (8/19/2011)


    That's one of the dumbest things. We almost never work physically with the servers, and often we end up working across help desk tickets, phone,...

  • RE: You Can Telecommute

    Ray Laubert (7/28/2011)


    I telecommute 3-4 days a week. I havent taken a sick day in years. If I am not feeling well, I just work from home.

    I think...

    brownhound (7/28/2011)


    I get the "We don't have a policy on that."

    I'm being a bit of a smart-aleck, but that does that mean there's no policy preventing telecommuting?

    At my current job,...

  • RE: A Flock of SQL Servers

    If Direct Messaging is secure enough, I could see that being useful for alerts (I don't use Twitter, so I don't know).

    I could see using Twitter for two things:
