Croatia - Hrvatska is another... BTW people in the Netherlands will say Holland as well... when the Dutch team play soccer, hup Holland (come on/let's go Holland) is a common chant (there are even songs with that name)

Was testing code and pushed a file to FTP 2 days early... vendor picked up, processed file.. the people who signed up in the next 2 days were in the file pushed later... but the vendor already processed the earlier file so they didn't get their metro cards that month

In ETL tool hardcoded something to test.... left it there when running for real

Most databases will use all the cores you can throw at it :-)

Not out of the ordinary to see a SQL Server query using 20+ cores for a query with a parallelized plan

so?.. still not equal to anything, two unknowns are not equal

if null = null print 'true' else print 'false'

Same in SQL Server.. this is documented behavior

Also a null is no equal to anything.. not even another null

This will print false in SQL Server

if null = null print 'true' else print 'false'

Interestingly in dutch oranje is the color but sinaasappel is the name of fruit in dutch.

I have 3 kids in middle and high school in West Windsor NJ. The school gives each student a chromebook or you can bring your own (I believe BYOD that is only allowed in high school).. everything is done through google classroom + printed handouts....

If you are a DB developer, you can have a machine now that will have close to the number of cores on you prod/staging instance. A DB will use all cores available unless you restrict it

>To spending $500 on a 128mb MP3 player. Compressing Mp3's into tiny WMA's.

Haha me and my RIO PMP 300.. I did exactly that.. converted mp3s into 64kb wma files

I had a Rio 300 followed by a Rio 500 before the iPod was announced... those were the times.. converting to 64bit wma format so you could fit maybe 40 songs on the 300
