RE: Deadlock victim
It does not have anything to do with me knowing about database, and I probably I know more about it than you, but the end user is presented with such a message, which is wrong and secondly killing the shortest running process did not fix it. So WTF?
@Aaron said:
So the WTF is that you don't know what a deadlock is, or how a database works, apparently.
A deadlock involves two processes. SQL Server resolves it by killing the shortest-running process (that's the victim). Bad database design can very easily result in several deadlocks in a short time span. All it takes is some horribly inefficient script queued up a few times.

RE: Deadlock victim
But it did not break the lock. I kept getting the same error.

Deadlock victim
I was a deadlock victim on an online Forum. This is the error I got. Seems MS SQL is so advanced it can detect deadlocks and decide who the victim is. I rerun (i.e tried to load the page) and got the same error:
<font face="Arial" size="2">Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server</font> <font face="Arial" size="2">error '80004005'</font>
<font face="Arial" size="2">Transaction (Process ID 77) was deadlocked on lock | communication buffer resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.</font>

Fix? I think you meant "something even worse" that only manages even a minority market share by being free that will only make you look like a "omg linux ftw M$ sux!!" troll for suggesting it.
I was really looking for some alternative program that will open .doc files and work on a mac. The list was not long, and this is the only other app I have worked with. It's really not that bad. If you haven't tried it since the first version, I think you will find 2.3 to be a different experience. Or, maybe you won't. Either way, I won't care.
I use google docs. Recently they added support for PPT also.

RE: Control-alt-delete to log in
Dilbert has the right solution, Security is more important than usability, do not let them log-in at all :)

But even i can see there is something wrong with this:

I am small and light!Shape is a pretty plug model, Orange of Vivid color that the color is cute, yellow,
green, four kinds of the pink. I have you choose you to preference.
May be it was translated by a computer? There was a real screw up in China during an international event a while back due to computerized translation.

I did not know c+a+d provided added security. But like you said, I doubt many of the users would know the difference.
Who cares? If YOU know what it does, that's all that matters to you. You now know that if you see a prompt pop up that doesn't ask for or doesn't properly react to ctrl-alt-del, your computer is running some malicious software, and that you shouldn't enter your password.
Just because some people ignore road signs and blindly drive off a cliff doesn't mean that we should remove the signs and screw everyone.
My point is the message is not clear. In your analogy it is like the road sign saying "must turn left" instead of saying "fatal danger, cliff ahead!"

It's funny that Windows of all operating systems would have a feature like this. How many typical Windows users would notice anything amiss if a trojan popped up an "exit the screen-saver" type of window with a login prompt and no CTRL-ALT-DEL requirement?
I did not know c+a+d provided added security. But like you said, I doubt many of the users would know the difference. Does the MS literature for new PC owners say beware of log-in dialogs that come up without pressing c+a+d (not that many users would read it)?
If there is value in it, I expect others to adopt such a log-in sequence. But Apple has just released a new OS and I do not think it makes use of such a log-in process."It's not a valid security measure because apple did not decide to copy it" has to be the worst logic I've ever heard, regardless of the actual security of the ctrl-alt-del combo.
Well apple does not have to copy it verbatim, if there is a real risk why didn't apple implement something similar? i.e a secure log-in. If I understand this right, c+a+d is providing some security if the system has been comprimised and malicious software is already running on it. How can somebody run software without having your log-in? I guess the admin can do this, but that is fine. How can an outsider install software to capture your log-in without having your log-in or the admin log-in? Isn't that the real wtf?
