Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Now here's an interesting question...

    Which is going to reach 20 000 posts first, me or the Thread?

    What if your 20000 was also the Thread's 20000? :w00t:

    Don't know. What do bookmakers think? 😛

    You, by quite some margin.

    Sounds like a great idea!

    If Gail and TheThread get closer to 20K we should do our part to support it: either stop at 19999 (continue the discussions on a "bypass-thread"; Steve could even disable it automagically allowing only Gail to add the 20k post) or start a count-down if Gail is at 19999 and The Thread is not (assuming we're runnig out of topic's and using the countdown method to catch up 😉 ).

    Looking at the counts.... I'd put my money on you pulling away.

    You, by quite some margin.

    If thread stays at current activity, I roughly guestimate it'll hit 20 000 in around 40-50 days. If I do the same, I'll hit 20 000 in just over 20.

    Several ifs in there though (and a couple really rough guestimations)

    By the way, I was contacted about a position in Kansas City that you'd be qualified for. I haven't responded because I'm not moving to KC and I don't know anyone in that area.

    Great googly moogly. I just got a second spam from the same dude that I already told "NO"

    Same exact shotgun blast.

    I received it last week via LinkedIn. Was your name in the salutation? Mine was.

    Yup - both times - both times via linkedin as well.

    I think more interesting is will The Thread beat me to 30k

    The Thread - unless you get your giddy-up on.

    If you can't explain to another person how the code that you're copying from the internet works, then DON'T USE IT on a production system! After all, you will be the one supporting it!

  • How about a table where the PK is on a text datatype? (as are most of the other columns also!)
