  • RE: Passwords Under Pressure

    Steve, I don't have an answer to your question. However, your article has opened my eyes to the fact that what I've experienced over the last couple of decades, isn't...

  • RE: How Far Have You Traveled for a SQL Saturday?

    I live in the Albuquerque, NM area. I believe I've been to every SQL Saturday there has been here, except perhaps the first one. I'd like to go to another...

  • RE: Too Much Information for Sports

    That's a pretty good guideline to go by, JustMarie.

  • RE: How do you know when it is time to leave a job?

    Very good article, Ben. I tend to forget that fear is a reason people (myself included) stay too long at a job. Makes me look back at my career with...

    Stephanie Giovannini (7/21/2016)
