Ahhh, beautiful irony! I complain about the moderation of my post, then my complaint is marked as TROLL-1. Sweet. Meanwhile, the post that called me a "cock gobbler" remains unmoderated. Nice work, there, moderators! Soon another Slashdot fan and active reader will be moderated down into oblivion.

Most of the time, the first (only) entry into a list is the largest. Also the smallest, the wierdest, or even the [insert your superlative here]. They should not so modest in their claim. It's true after all!
It's also easy to say that I should use my (bosses) wallet. To whom do I write the check? How much value will I get for $150.00? What is the ROI? My PHB's are hot on my case. Will I see views in MySQL 5.1 if I pay MySQL AB the equivalent amount of the MSSQL7 license and CAL's? Is it worth it to my PHB's? Nope. Not even at half. There is a value to MySQL but that value is far below the "real" value of MSSQL7 when MySQL remains functionally below MSSQL7.
Ideally I would design the system in such a fashion that views are not needed. Real World, however, I am stuck maintaining existing systems. I could port those systems to MySQL cheaper (time/dollars) than I could rebuild them correctly.
We need views. While much of my work can be done in MySQL, until there are views I cannot switch completely from SQL Server 2K. Too many PHB's that need features like views to be overcome. Must control fist-of-death!
In the days of limited disk space, I could see a reason for reusing the same.DLL for applications. However, what are the issues involved in just plain putting all needed.DLL's in the same folder with the application? This would end.DLL hell by making it so that each program only uses the.DLL's that they install. True, there might be multiple copies of COMCTL32.DLL, but so what? we've got the disk space. What other issues are involved?
YAWN! Check out the Binford 11000 Series...

Mayhaps I should have said "American" then? Although even the English "pint" is quite acceptable! How many oz in a pint? How many liters in that same pint? How many pints in me?;-)
Who measures things in soccer pitches olympic swimming pools? What sort of standards are these? I was just getting used to meters, had a basic understanding of fathoms, and had heard of rods, but what the heck are these new units?
30M ~= 1 olympic size swimming pool?, so is it 60 meters tall? ~190 feet tall?
And just how long exactly is a soccor (soccer!) pitch (field!). My reports show between 100 and 130 yards (Arph! yet another measurement!).
Let's all get together and use either metric or english systems please. Your preference, I don't care because I can translate easily enough between those two.
ADVENTUR>You are in a maze of twisty little passages.
A = Your self now B = Your self at age 12 C = Girl you knew at age 12 D = Same girl in C but as she now is
A tells B to get with C before she turns into D (which she will - you have prior (fore?) knowledge.
If B does as you say, then B might be the cause of C moving to D. Which makes B (and therefore A) to be kinda creepy.
That was my logic. However, since B didn't "get it" then, then either B must not have heeded A's advice, or A never sent the message. Since A doesn't remember receiving a message as B, then obviously the message was not sent. As you (B) stated in your response, but this time explained differently by E.
Time paradoxes are fun, no?

Perhaps a moderation category of "Obvious" would be more appropriate? It certainly seemed like a good idea at the time. (famous last words, I know)
Reminds me a little of a certain Greek legend...

Excellent. Someone actually got that joke.
I didn't know moderators could comment. You are obviously the same dredge who modded my comment as redundant.

Wouldn't it take a while to load that application? 1.5 MB app + 8.0 MB of DLL's = A little bit of time to load, eh?

ADVENTUR>You are in a maze of twisty little passages.
The logic as I see it...
A = Your self now
B = Your self at age 12
C = Girl you knew at age 12
D = Same girl in C but as she now is
A tells B to get with C before she turns into D (which she will - you have prior (fore?) knowledge.
