... Heck, I once licked a live electrical cord to see what it would feel like.)Now that explains a few things.:w00t:
The results were simply shocking!
Not as shocking as the idea that anyone would try that.
:w00t:
I was seven years old, and I'd just learned how to test a 9V battery by touching your tongue to the terminals, to see if it has any power in it. So I tested an extension cord that way.
All things considered, I really can't recommend the experience to anyone. Woke up a few minutes later with blisters on my tongue. It just didn't live up to my expectations. :hehe:

Well, I guess the electric Shock confirms the tag...:hehe:

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.
Then you'll love this. This gem of a post appeared on a game's forums after an update that (shock, horror) changed a font and a few icons (among other things)

I don't think it's a language. It's a mixture of an attempt at L33t sp34k (Leet speak), a lot of swearing, too many caps and waaaay too much punctuation.

Think, I do, that our True Relational Fanatic may have new persona here on SSC.Anyone else have thoughts on this? 😉
I think I'm staying out of that thread. 😛
Seriously, in an ideal world where the dev team has more than enough resources to devote to the next version, sure, why not. This is not an ideal world. There are a number of things more important than hidden pointers for foreign keys.

I'd guess not. Wasn't he asking people to vote for an enhancement that allowed foriegn keys to be supported by pointers? I'd say that a true relational fanatic would never suggest such a thing. If DBDEBUNK was still active, Fabian Pascal would probably be commenting on that notion.
The whole TRDBMS generates more heat than light. Would I like a more robust implementation of the relational model and will I pressure vendors, to the extent of my ability, to deliver it: Yes.
In the mean time, I have problems to solve that require detailed knowledge of the operation of the current crop of SQL-based DBMSs and I'll be happy to use useful extensions as necessary.
I confess my failings and ask forgiveness, so help me Codd.

This evening I decided enough was enough, I could just hack a workaround in and carry on. As I'm doing so, I spotted this in my code....<beliefset name="knownAsteroids" class ="Asteroid"></beliefset>
... 40 or so lines of xml
<achievegoal name="achieveSelectAsteroid">
<creationcondition>
$beliefbase.getBeliefSet("known_asteroids").size()>0
</creationcondition>
<dropcondition>
$beliefbase.SelectedAsteroid != null
</dropcondition>
</achievegoal>
Of course, there's no syntax checking in the xml and the agent framework ignores beliefs that aren't defined (if considers all undeclared beliefs to be essentially null)

You have no idea how much better this makes me feel about my own work process . . . 😉

OK, who tripped over the power cord!
Not I!. That beauty happened at 7:00AM today. Exchange server was offline and nobody from infrastructure in yet. Could send or receive emails. At 7:45AM, it was back online. As you might have guessed, nobody did anything, nobody can find anything (nobody but I was even in yet), yet I had several SQL jobs fail, logging to the event log that exchange server was down - actually could not be found. I restarted my jobs and, viola, everything worked fine. One of the mysteries of life, I guess.....
