• Note: I am an old curmudgeon who speaks bluntly. Nothing that follows is a personal attack. I just see this as a teachable moment.

    So:

    Let me get this straight:

    You stumbled over some new features.

    You glanced at books online

    You put together some trivial tests against a trivial database

    You decide you are now enough of an expert to write an article about it

    You write an article that spends more time comparing the performance of trivial tests to six decimal places than into what they actually do.

    If you had spent even a few minutes on Google or Wikipedia you would have learned a lot and been in a position to write a useful article.

    Instead you went on the assumption that if you could find good uses for the features then there were no good uses for them. I will let you supply the adjective for that attitude.

    To everyone who thought it was a great article:

    It was a good topic to bring up, but did you read the other comments before you added yours?
