I haven't got enough hair to have bad hair days 🙂

BWAAA-HAAA!!! I've got tons of hair. I'm just not allowed to show it in the office... HR violation and all that. 😛

--Jeff Moden

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.
"Change is inevitable... change for the better is not".

Ah, you're just working in the wrong *kind* of office. Some offices, showing off that hair would get your more work...

Just curious - how many like that new tile look on the home page?

FWIW: I prefer the older images over these tiles.

If you can't explain to another person how the code that you're copying from the internet works, then DON'T USE IT on a production system! After all, you will be the one supporting it!

I didn't even really notice, I guess because the general layout hasn't changed, only the "icon" next to the various article links...

So, doesn't matter, as long as I can find what I want quick...

I agree. I threw up in my mouth when I saw the icon change to tiles today.
