I don't think any further responses are necessary here, but here is an "interesting" omg moment.

I saw it. :rolleyes:

I'd say I'm shocked, but it's hardly the first time I've seen someone do it. You'd really think that people would either read up or test out something like that before overwriting the database.

To add to that, they must have specified REPLACE in the restore command, because otherwise SQL would have refused to overwrite because the tail of the log hadn't been backed up.

It hurts my eyes just to read those. I have the feeling I won't even be able to communicate with my grandkids if they start typing like that.

We don't have tens of thousands of posts that all just say, "you suck!!!1one!!" in a large variety of ways. Nor do we have more tens of thousands of replies that say, "no, u suxor! adn ur momm do 2! hahahahahahah!!" That, unfortunately, covers most of the kind of threads I'm talking about here, on the game forums.

And we don't have hundreds of threads that say

"Yr stoopid M$. Yr updats rooning SQL. Im quitting!!!!!11111!!!!!!!"

The online game I play gets at least 5-10 of those threads after every update and they run to thousands of posts.

Yep. I've seen lots of those. Pretty much every game I've played. (To be fair, Sony probably deserved posts like for some of the things they did with EverQuest.)

Actually, that exact post sounds like something I would have seen in some dev forums I used to frequent a few years back....except it probably would have been about "WinDoze" instead of "SuckQL". (Yes, a large number of the Linux fans thought they were being somehow original and/or clever by using those names. They also went back and forth between "M$" and "MicroSucks", sometimes spelled "MicroSux".)

That looks vaguely like German :unsure:

(Flo: consider Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaftskapitän¹)

edit: better still:

Donaudampfschiffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft²

or

Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz³

(Ok so I googled)

1: "Danube steamship company captain."

2: "association of subordinate officials of the head office management of the Danube steamboat electrical services"

3: "beef labeling regulation & delegation of supervision law"

That last one won an award

So how would you hyphenate that? I can see German causing typesetters to experience nervous breakdowns on a routine basis. 😛 (no insult intended towards are German friends. :-D)

Not as shocking as the idea that anyone would try that.
