Well, that is a good point. However, one thing i love about Oracle is Google. In Google groups there is so much help from years and years of use, that i'd say my work relied on Google.
Other DBs don't seem to have that amount of background. They would require more people using them, and more years of questions, answers, and best practices. It can happen. It likely will happen. I just don't think the focus should be advertising. It should be community support.
What you seem to be forgetting, is *who* is installing it. If you like to point-and-click, MS's product is far better. Though, their command line and remote tools are awful. Oracle, has a fantastic command line (SQL*Plus), there is no difference using it remotely, and for those people who want a GUI, a Java interface is provided, albeit awful.
I have worked with both DBs. They both have their nice areas. However, Oracle is *far* superior. In process management alone, this is quite noticeable. Last project i was on with MS's product forced me to restart SQL Server almost daily, because processes kept dying, and would eat up resources, and the table only had about three million rows.
There is a learning curve to switching. But, i think ultimately, it comes down to GUI over commandline.
Even if it wasn't a good temperature (and it is an excellent one to be compromised upon), if people are cold, they can wear warm clothing. When people are warm, what shall they do?
72 is *much* too warm. I tend to fall asleep at that temperature.
69 is appropriate, something just about everyone can handle, and for those who want it slightly warmer, can use a warmer piece of clothes, a sweater, or even a heater.
Conversely, if at 72, there is little way to cool down other than taking off clothes, which is generally not an option.
If you do not make the decisions, never say no, or they will find someone else.
If you make decisions, you can say no.
Overall, you need to be relied upon. If people see you and know yuou will address their concerns, and when you do it is quick and it works, your "no" will actually mean sopmething to them. Ultimately, therefore, i'd say it matters on how they view you.
Anonymizer allows paying anonymously. They then update your account on a page that everyone can see.
While their advanced products cost money, their main service does not. And, before a couple years ago, there was no delay either.
Anonymizer is a fantatic service, and has been out there for quite a while.

but here's an interesting piece on how dimaond engagement rings are an invented tradition that only started 60 years ago.
Too bad they didn't do their research. Diamond engagement rings have been around for at least a milleneum, and probably more.
I saw a reference to the tradition in a commentary to the Talmud (well, it's the Rabbenu Nisim on Rav Alfasi) that talks about why there is a tradition to use diamonds rings for engagements when the wedding itself uses a mere band. That must have been written nearly a millenium ago, about a well-established tradition, so the tradition is rather old.
and for many folks, one evening of their time is worth a $200 fine.
If it was only $200 that would be fine. However, auto-insurance rates then go up astromically, for a few years. The actually cost of a ticket isn't much when compared to insurance rates.
If not for the points, i'd easily speed all the time. If i'd only get a ticket or two a year, it's a small amount of money for some real driving pleasure. But, if i get four points on my license each year as well, i'd end up paying thousands of dollars.
Indeed people who put forward alternative views were decried in almost the same way as people who suggested the Earth was round back in the Middle Ages.
Just a note. It is a myth that people thought the Earth was flat. You can read about it in Inventing the Flat Earth.
Well "Understanding SQL" by Martin Gruber is an excellent book. He updated it with Mastering SQL, but started the other way around (DDL before DML) so i didn't bother with it.
Perhaps you should go to the book store and check it out. Currently, i am tutoring someone in SQL with that book.

Total calories is one way of doing it, and it works well. Going all carb or all fat is to add to it.
All fat lets you eat all you want. Someone else mentioned the sugar issue. Of course, there's the protien issue as well, in that the body doesn't seem to hold onto extra protien, and takes other stuff with it.
As for high carbohydrate diets, they work well too, but total calories must be counted. The advantages are:
Carbohydrates give a feeling of satiation, so you eat less and feel better. Carbohydrates makes one feel full even the next day. Carbohydrates cannot be stored, they must be converted to fat. That conversion has about a 25% cost, so, for every extra 100 calories of carbohydrates, only 75 are stored. The body only stores about 800 "extra" calories of carbohydrates a day.
Anyway. If someone doesn't want to count calories, carbohydrates have value is that one feels full faster. One complaint i've heard about Atkins is the the user never feels full.
You are not hired as a programmer. You are hired as a solution provider who happens to be a programmer. If they want quick and dirty, that is what you provide. Imagine you were a contractor, what solution would you provide then?
As an interesting method to help yourself. Spend the few moments designing the solution. Then, implement it quickly. That way, portions of code can be rewritten better, without relying on defaults, and have proper error reporting and the like. But remember, the design is most important. If the design is quick and dirty, the code has no chance of long-term survival.
Since I'm not union I don't appear to have any way of trying to get myself compensated appropriately
Of course not, with that attitude.
The best way is merely to mentione to your employer that you want more money. Mentioned that the less qualified are getting more. It would have worked for me. I was offered a 25% increase in salary for that very reason! I did leave, however, because i felt that they didn't care enough about me, and i found another job where i was more comfortable.
If you are truly valuable to them, and you ask, as oposed to complain, they will most probably help you.
Though, I don't see why you can't walk there and wheel back a bunch of gas cans. But, your way may be better. The problem is, if you get an old truck, it won't have the device, and the gas tax would need to be paid.
Personally, I'd install (if possible) a GPS transmitter in the car. And let the GPS unit record what I tell it too.
1,2,4,8,16,32,64 and then either 1.28 or the dollar. Although, the 64 cent piece could easily be skipped. That way, exact change can always be given with as few coins as possible.
But, anyway, it would take serious stupidity to care about what is more efficient. People use monmey, not computers. The current denominations are great for human interaction. Any change would simply be counter-productive.
Ah.. so it's only ok to disagree when everyone else also disagrees.
No, it's always ok to disagree. But posting comments that are not exactly on topic is the question. On one hand they are connected to the business or country being talked about. On the other hand they cause many off-topic comments that just clutter the discussion. Because of the latter reason, I agree that they should be modded down as flaimbait.
However, when dealing with a company as opposed to a country, the second reason isn't as prominent, and thus does not clearly outweigh the first reason.
This seems like an ignorant statement to make. Situations in other countries don't affect everyone here?
In most cases, they do not.
