  1. Drive from a busted XP computer, stuck in an external casing, read on Vista -- FAIL. Security permissions working for files, not folders.
  2. Online merchants often lose my business because they won't reveal shipping charges until after you've filled in your credit card info.
  3. http://bit.ly/56z8BU/ anticipated the @paraccel blog attack on Exadata by a month.
  4. But every user engagement seems to be totally different from the last one. Other than hourly pricing, I haven't seen yet how to standardize.
  5. I think I'm doing OK at standardizing vendor service offerings. Only the top end needs to be really customized.
  6. @JeromePineau Maybe @ParAccel doesn't have anything better to talk about than hype and nonsense?
  7. @GregRahn I would guess @ParAccel salespeople talk about 30 TB TPC-H now. So little incremental benefit to doing one cleanly.
  8. The Obamas' first state dinner was vegetarian, was a tribute to diversity, and featured Indian food. @lindabarlow will love that!
  9. @GregRahn Indeed! All those months of benchmark-special engineering on Sun gone to waste ...
  10. Barry Zane still hasn't lived up to his promise in http://paraccel.com/data_wa... to defend @paraccel's benchmark shenanigans
  11. RT @GregRahn: @ParAccel doesnt seem to want to moderate through my comments on their blog. Why is that? Seems that they fear the facts....
  12. @jilldyche The term "BI" was coined by an adult male in the 1950s. I've seen you in person, and I greatly doubt that describes you. :)
  13. RT @ramblingman: Monash's Boston Big Data Summit keynote. Great quote: "the NoSQL movement is a lot like the Ron Paul campaign." htt ...
  14. RT @ramblingman: Incroyable! Depressed Woman Loses Health Benefits for Happy Pics on Facebook http://bit.ly/8LKXdj
  15. @SethGrimes As for Dennis, I'd guess it's SAP-related; when it comes to Dennis, that's a pretty safe bet in any case.
  16. @SethGrimes I don't know why Howard blocked me. Maybe for helping expose the falsity of his claim to have invented the term "BI"?
  17. LOL. Howard Dresner has me blocked, joining Dennis Howlett, Kim Stanick, and the fictitious Amanda Chapel.
  18. http://dilbert.com/strips/c... The Twitter effect on morale and productivity.
  19. I have lots of Monash Advantage renewals/new customers. Now I need to write contracts and avoid http://dilbert.com/strips/c...
  20. @HappyFunTime You could always try closing email with the modern classic "May you long live and prosper".
