    How weird stuff like this survives in a commercial offering beggars belief (well mine if no-one elses)!

    My implicit expectation - formed in earlier days (aka Fortran IV and...

    honza.mf (1/4/2012)


    I appreciate your explanation.

    Please, can you explain the relative term hexadecibon? Thank you very much.

    I haven't a clue, but I won't refrain from suggesting that it is perhaps a...

  • RE: Numbers

    Good question.

    But I don't like the wording of the first sentence of the explanation: "...an expression is a valid numeric type"; well, 1 is not a valid numeric type, it's...

    What's this Exademon... err... Hexawitch... err.. Hexademinali stuff?

    It's not stuff because it's a verb not a noun. To hexadecimal is to cast a cantrip on a...

    I would request them (the bosses) again to postpone it for few weeks but don't know if they will agree :hehe:.

  • RE: Happy Holidays

    marlon.seton (1/3/2012)


    Yes, indeed, Merry Christmas, not Happy Christmas; it was the "Happy" in Happy Holidays what tricked me, guv'nor, 'onest it was.

    Just out of interest, what are the five living...

  • RE: Exact and Approximate

    Hugo Kornelis (1/3/2012)

    marlon.seton (1/3/2012)


    Yes, here in the UK, it's turkey for Xmas and Happy Christmas, not Happy Holidays.

    SQL Kiwi (1/3/2012)

  • RE: Concurrent Operations

    jeff.mason (12/29/2011)


    Probably so that it made scheduling log backups easier. If for some reason a full backup was taking longer than usual, a normal log backup could fail. ...

    If someone says that the registration date is more useful in their country and that this is an American-centric difficult question I will scream.
