"but also performance drops (mostly network related) and no, I'm not alone in seeing these things either."
If its the same issue I've had (which nailed every vista instance I know of) its the network AutoTuning. Made a massive difference to everything - outlook, office, browsing.

For millenia biological organisms have been absorbing carbon from the atmosphere and incorporating it in their bodies. In the normal course of things, they die and release it. However, a small, potentially lethal, breakaway sect have been dieing and deliberately covering themselves rapidly in a variety of muds, clays and rocks, thereby preventing their component parts dispersal.
Finally after at least 4000 years, Mankind - the saviour of the planet - has come along. We are now locked in a deadly struggle with these creatures, spending billions of our hard earned currency units on extracting and incinerating these carcasses to free the C02 that they have sucked out of the ecosystem.
Free the C0 two. Join the movement, I know its a sacrifice - but please, please drive as far and as fast as you can afford. Run with flat tyres, windows open and air con on full. We need to put right the damage that has been done for billenia, (or 4000 years) by these evil creatures. Put right their selfish act.
Implant the user's thumb print on the passport and have the computer software used at airports verify identity by referencing a central database. What can be better than this? "
How about getting old fashioned about it - implant the users thumb in the passport and verify it matches the scar...
"This is one reason why gasoline/petrol prices in Europe have remained relatively stable, even as the political situation in oil producing regions has caused crude prices to increase. Most oil producing nations trade in U.S. Dollars, so the price in Euros is now 40% cheaper than 2 years ago. Traveling back and forth between the U.S. and Europe, it is quite obvious at the price differential of Dollar based international commodities. Gas prices, at least on both coasts of the U.S., are now about equal to what we pay in Europe, where 6 years ago we paid around 4 times what Americans were paying. " Except that while we in the UK still only pay 25p or so per litre, there is another 60p+ tax on it, bringing it up to 85p/l. A litre being c3.8 to the us gallon, we pay over $6.5/gallon now.

"An MP3 player could not generate alpha radiation unless it incorporated some radioactive isotope (as smoke detectors do)."
So, uh, how does it emit alpha waves then? Got a nice chunk of ratbrain in it?
Actually that is incorrect. In many places (in the UK) we see a correlation between more higher speed camera density and higher rate of fatal accidents.
I wonder how many of the execs at sony have the rootkit installed at work?
It would be beautifully ironic if a new virus/trojan/whatever using this rootkit mask was deliberatly targetted at sony and its minions.
SQL Server supports what are called Federated Servers. In this you spatter the data across multiple servers based on some criteria or other that you determine. A central server then farms out the work to the others.
Clustering in windows land is not the same as clustering in cuckoo land. Here it is primarily for failover, not load balancing.
I would agree that the database is the sacred resource. And that is why dba/database developers need to write optimised stored procs to keep the muppet web app 'developers' grubby mits off our beautiful databases.
Some people just dont get set based ops. Usually these are OO/procedural bods. The kind of folk who think business logic belongs in the application, and expect that to keep the database (without any form of constraint/business logic enforcement at the data layer) clean, accurate and logically consistent because their app won't let mistakes happen.
Additionally it is incredibly difficult to tune a database or manage change release when all you get coming through on a trace is crappy 'sp_cursorfetch' instead of being able to isolate a proc that is taking 20ms instead of a measurable '0'. Specially as those cursor operations appear to each take almost no time and no resource - till you bundle them all up and realise the reason your db aint scaling is utter shite data handling in the web app.
Incidentally for those that don't know about it, with sql server (and oracle has its own version) you can quite easily federate the servers - essentially run a load balanced cluster.
And I think "Most violent nation in the world" might be bit of an extreme statement. We might be the only nation currently involved in conflicts in two separate countries but it's not exactly like we showed up to fill a bloodlust. Hell, how many conflicts has Europe started by in other country's affairs that it refuses to fix *cough*Africa*cough*.
Hate to break it to you mate, but Europe is not a nation... incidentally, how are those Native Reservations going these days?
A-bomb and Stalin wanted one for himself too. That was the prime motive for Soviet Union's amazing drive towards Berlin
Sure. Guess you've not read much about the Russians side of the war... Leningrad and Stalingrad for instance... Perhaps reading the 900 Days by Salisbury would give you some better reasons. Maybe the 27million+ dead because of the germans may have motivated the russians slightly.
well in this case you simply model it on the extant paper system. Add some dates, people, stuff to a large textual field (basically the same as the notes system they would already have). add in the prescription and robert is the relative of choice.
Course, from that when the data is searched - either by punter, notes field contents, date whatever there are plenty of things to search on.
Data models always fit - you just need to spend time figuring out how - and leaving them loose enough to do the job - somewhere most academics fall flat.

I realised it was just a wind up...
Aye, Textpad Server is what you need.
"An MP3 player could not generate alpha radiation unless it incorporated some radioactive isotope (as smoke detectors do)." So, uh, how does it emit alpha waves then? Got a nice chunk of ratbrain in it?
Its a rule I live by, but then I am a dba...
Or that we are still in the 7th 'day' while he's resting... Question is, what happens on Monday?
What is the performance hit on the universal traders in X3?
Indeed - but in the anaesthetic/stupefying sense rather than the addictive.
Actually that is incorrect. In many places (in the UK) we see a correlation between more higher speed camera density and higher rate of fatal accidents.

Oh come on, you can't tell me you never tried that in class with watches?

he's right... try loosening the cuffs a bit, and try not to bite too hard on the gag.
heh... he said "penal"...
