Reality is such a pesky thing. Better to ignore it and forge onward!

RE: Stupid Salesclerk
Not not mention that nowadays as long as the order of the wires is the same on each end it'll usually work.

RE: Windows Server 8
No matter what folks say, I highly doubt Microsoft will stop making their GUI a hugely powerful part of the OS.
I'm sure everyone's wanted a powerful CLI in windows before, but the GUI is what got Windows Server its market share.

RE: More Java, sorry
Secure computer environment? I'm fucking confused.
Java has done nothing but introduce security holes into my network.
Additionally some versions have bugs that cause a PC to hang when you try to GPO an update for Java. Really great software. Gotta rank it up there with Adobe Flash in terms of shit-baggery. -
RE: The long way to India
Join the club. Where I work the only option we have for internet is T1 service. 1.5Mbps down/up per line and each line costs 300 bucks a month. I pay 35 bucks a month at my apt for 25 down and 2 up. Whenever I download any ISOs or anything for work, I just download them at home and use a flash drive or external HD for transfer.
The upside is that I live like 5-10 minutes from work, including time taken to walk to my car, etc. -
RE: One-liner
It's just a misnamed event.
When the object SelectMachine's text is changed SelectMachine_Click is run. No clicking necessary.
However if there is a seperate method for clicking and text changing and he's swapped them around, god help us all when someone clicks on something or changes text. -
RE: We won't need to know
Sounds more like a corporate pissing match. Time to find out who has the most pull, regardless of who is right!

RE: Please god tell me I've been doing this wrong forever.
As said before, you may as well just use Convert.ToInt32 instead of converting it to a string and then back to an integer. Saves you a little conversion, but the end result is the same.

RE: I'm no DBA....
Yeah I tend to follow arbour's guidelines. If you don't think a char(1000) field with an average of 50-100 characters in it is wrong, one of us must be very confused cause I think it's very wrong.lol

RE: I'm no DBA....
Some more shenanigans from the same database. I have been finding some more and piling them up as time goes on, but here are some gems:
We see a lot of disk and CPU bottlenecking at times of high queries and usage on our production server. I was curious as to why and so I went and looked at the RFLog table again to start. (the table mentioned at the beginning) I had not yet examined datatypes and the first thing I see is absolutely horrific. Two of the three textfields are Char(30). These are populated by an IP address, and a name. Most of these values are 5-15 in size.(maybe they wanted to be IPv6 compatible?:P)
Farther down, it gets worse. The log field where it describes the error message, a char(200) field. Most messages are less than 50 characters. No message is longer than 100. I begin looking at all the other tables, suspecting foul play, I find that there is no varchar usage at all. Char is used for almost all numbers, big and small, and for every text field. There are a few char(1000) fields. In one table, the char(1000) field is 95% no more than 10 characters.If I had to guess as to why it's this way, I would guess that it's because the way formatting is done on the front end, they likely couldn't figure out how to pad and just decided to pad with the database. No joke.
