  • You get a phone call from one the users. They tell you the database is slow. What do you do?

    You answer that reasonably well, you're hired. You start talking junk, you're not.

    I'd start with the usual suspects like server memory, cpu, disk, network etc.... who said the real problem is with SQl Server anyway?!

    am I talking junk yet or am I hired?! 😛

    It takes a minimal capacity for rational thought to see that the corporate 'free press' is a structurally irrational and biased, and extremely violent, system of elite propaganda.

    Society has varying and conflicting interests; what is called objectivity is the disguise of one of these interests - that of neutrality. But neutrality is a fiction in an unneutral world. There are victims, there are executioners, and there are bystanders... and the 'objectivity' of the bystander calls for inaction while other heads fall.
