  • RE: Not having TDE in all editions is stupid

    I kind of disagree here. In the case of laptops, if there is any sensitive data on there at all--doesn't matter if this is in the form of SQL databases,...

  • RE: Table space usage 3

    This is one of those questions that looks really easy, but obviously isn't judging by the number of people selecting the wrong answer! Mind you, maybe it's obvious to me...

  • RE: A Refreshing Break

  • RE: Thanksgiving

    I'm guessing 23% of the respondents at time of writing thought this was a trick question! 😀

  • RE: IT staff would rather pocket $100k than blast off into space

    Cash, any time. I could pay off my mortgage and be financially secure with that sort of money, and the peace of mind that would bring would be worth far...

  • RE: Virtualization for Security

    Main issue I can see is with licensing...unless the virtualised PC runs Linux (which comes with its own issues with a mainly Windows shop) you'd have to buy a separate...

  • RE: The DR Test Schedule

    Steve Jones - SSC Editor (10/7/2011)Those things were amazing. Each one was literally the size of two large pickups end to end (though taller) with enough compressed air to jump...

  • RE: How to map UK postcodes

    You can also purchase a data table of postcodes directly from the Post Office that you can use in your application--no idea how much it costs, though, and it doesn't...

  • RE: The DR Test Schedule

    The issue I have is: working for a small company, it's not so easy to lay hands on an unused server we can use to restore our data! Heck, even...

    ChrisP-374390 (9/29/2011)

  • RE: What’s In Your (Junk) Drawers?
