This is often solved with views. In other words you cache collections of JOINs.
The problem with this is that quite often what you are joining together is specific to some parameters (for example in a stored procedure). What I'd love to see are parmaterised views that you could join together. At the moment the only way you get this is by using temp tables returned from procs and joining on them.
There is a question about how much effort is involved in converting the from the locked to the open format. Documentation can be re-released. Keeping the non-DRM versions up to date could be an awful lot of work, particularly if it isn't automated.
Both are excellent books. Code complete should be required reading for all programmers, no matter what platform. I cannot think of any other book that I would put in that category. MS Press may produce some pretty poor books, but they do produce some good ones.
We are currently evaluationg VOIP for a new (small) office setup. One advantage for us is being able to route calls around the place. For example we are going to have a few people in one office, but the receptionist is going to be in another office ~300m away. She will be able to route calls to the other office site with no direct connection.
Equally that could be a transfer to someone in singapore for no extra cost.

I don't think Bush will do as muc damage in his second term. The reason being in his first term people couldn't believe he was a crazy as he seemed. Now they know he is and will behave accordingly.
He might screw up the US, but I think damage to the rest of the world may be more limited.
There is a real instance of this happening. I can't remember what I read it, and I can't find a link in google so for what its worth here is what I remember. During the Suez crisis during 1956 there was some disagreement with the approach that the government took. One pilot was ordered on a mission and refused by raising the undercarriage while still on the ground. Claimed it was an accident.
I've coded some in php, a lot in asp and I'm just starting to code some stuff in.Net. Put simply the language/framework just isn't as good. This is just my opinion, but the.Net environment is really, really nice.
Would not it be simpler and easier for Microsoft's customers for Microsoft to fix the flaw
I imagine that Microsoft is going to do this, but for the moment they are recommending a workaround. This is not a bad thing. They are not saying that their workaround is going to be the only solution to the problem.
Bash MS for the stuff they get wrong. For example the fact that this bug should have never occurred. Canonisation issues were a problem in IIS 4 and are a topic specifically covered in Writing Secure Code Volume 2 (which has a quote from Bill G on the front saying that this book is required reading at Microsoft).
Look, you have 2.9 Million web sites out there that now have to go through and invest a number of hours or work to fix the problem. Let's say the fix is easy and only requires say, three hours to recode and test......that is how many hours of lost productivity to the world's GDP? 8.7 Million hours of lost productivity!
Lets say there are 10 million linux installations in the world. Each one takes 10 hours on average to install and configure (over an average of 5 hours for a windows installation). 50 million hours of wasted time. OMG WTF!!!1!!!
fps (interesting convergance, feet/second & frames/second) isn't quite what I meant by real units. 192 km/h or 53 m/s. That is pretty damn fast.
Rims may not accelerate the car at all, but they also don't provide any control. One you take out the tyres you have not guarantee of the car staying on the road.
You are missing the point. He was travelling at 120 miles/hr. I'm not great at converting that to real units, but it pretty fast. Take out the tyres at the speed and I think you can expect some problems, things like spinning into walls. Jacking the car up at 120 miles/hr is somewhat less practical.
Come to think of it they should have used spike strips on the guy.
Are you sure that is a good idea? At least with the guy in the car and wanting to stop there is some semblance of control. Take out 1-4 tyres and you have no control (and the wheels would be still spinning).
Horses for courses. I think to a large extent it depends on the size of the company and the kind of software they are developing.
I am currently the sole programmer for a startup. The idea of imposing any external systems on they way I code stuff is just overhead. In a larger company it would make sense. That isn't to say that I don't impose my own systems on how I code, but an external, largely artifical system being imposed is just inefficient.
My experience of computer attacks is that they are not particularly directed. That is, you can do damage if you have a broad target in mind, but it is a lot harder if you have a specific target in mind. So you may be able to hack into a company when you choose to, but to pick a specific company and break into that company is a lot harder. Scan for $favority_vuln and find a hundreds of boxes vulnerable (ie hundreds of options), scan a particular company for a vulnerability and you have less options.
Frankly as an outside observer on US politics, I question that sanity of anyone who would vote Bush. This man has taken the US on the worst foreign policy adventure of my lifetime. Quite possibly the worst in the last hundred years.
He has 1. Broken international law 2. Alienated allies (after 9/11 the US had enormous support, it takes real effort to turn that around so comprehensively) 3. Attacked an effectively neutral country when he has a real enemy 4. Mismanaged the occupation to the extent that US troops are now bogged down in Iraq qith no exit plan
You what is worst about all this? It was forseeable. Just before the invasion Iraq was a regular topic of conversation in my family. Almost all of the current situation was predicted. The only mistake made was it was expected that there would be greater casualties initially.
I won't even start on local policies. But the centerpiece of the Bush administration is a turd. And we all know you can't polish a turd.
Precisely! All you can do is create a climate that makes democracy possible. Clear the path to democracy, but don't try to force people along that path. If you try to force it, they don't own it.

Microsoft press published Code Complete and Writing Secure code.

It's just like Alien vs. Predator:
whoever wins, we lose.
If you saw the movie you certainly did.
Keep your head firmly wedged in that hold in the ground.
I'd sit tight on any numbers games when comparing Israel to the Palestinians. Both in bodies and $, neither provides any support for your arguments.
While I agree that there aren't any right sides, you are arguing for the side that is more wrong.
Me? Much like my illustrious ancestors no one intimidates me
Which is why you are posting AC...
You clearly haven't read a Murdoch paper recently have you?

I can't decide who's worse, a bunch of highly ideological religious nuts whose ultimate aim is theocracy
That is not neccesarily the aim of missionaries. People can be Christians and believe in the separation of church and state.
a bunch of communist nuts whose ultimate aim is facism
Sounds like a strange group of communists.
I think this is just a media beat up.

Fair enough. I'll have to look into that next time I'm in the market for a laptop.
