Are the posted questions getting worse?

    No one is going to believe this, but a friend of mine & I were very minor characters in one of the Destroyer novels. We were introduced and killed within about three pages, but we were there.

    SWeeeet! Which one was it? My college roommates would have killed for that!

    I looked last night. I can't see it. I'll need to take the library apart & look for it. I need to do that anyway. Things have gotten a bit messy up here.

    Had a darn hell of a day.

    ...

    Moral of the story? For one, stop your replication BEFORE you rename a server and don't even bother setting it up on the replacement machine beforehand. Secondly, after a long day, get all your thoughts together before jumoing to conclusions.

    I'm going back home now to get some sleep.

    Ouch... That really sounds like a bad day! Glad to hear that everything seems to work fine now

    Have a good night

  • Well, on the bright side they have more disk space.

    Well, on the bright side they have more disk space.

    If they delete the .mdf file too they'll have even more!

    Ah, ah! There you go again... 😛 No wonder you get the occasional rant via email. Obviously, you're being disrespectful again. :hehe: The very nerve of you asking a practical and to the point question. 🙂

    Oh, I agree completely. A round ball should be either hit with a stick or bounced on a hard floor. But kicking a round ball with your foot? That's just too easy, where's the challenge in that? Heh, why if you start doing that, you might as well not use your hands! ... Oh, wait ... :unsure:

  • You really have to be kidding, right?

    I guess some people just don't get it, do they?

    Time to wonder off back to the desert...
