    And now for something completely different, a coworker, non-DBA, forwarded me this link. I thought it was a hilarious Dilbert: http://www.dilbert.com/strips/comic/2009-11-01/[/url]

    Edit: Fixed hyperlink

    Extremely Urgent my Exam is only 1hr today.

    Here's my IM address, just send me the questions and I'll plug in the answers... they'll all be 100% correct too... honest...

    As I pointedly asked someone some time back "If I give you the answers and you pass the exam, do I get the certification?"

    You could email MS and explain the situation to see if they would grant you the certification. 😀

    Looks like the post got removed while I was writing my reply to it.

    I can think of several things that could have gone wrong with it.

    I charge $200/hour or fraction thereof, for that kind of technical support to non-family/friends. Do you want to contact me about arranging a support contract? I do take PayPal. (SQL help is free, because I get appropriate value from this site, pc hardware support I always charge for.)

    If not, I suggest getting a hold of tech support for the web cam. The manufacturer usually provides that for free.

    (For some reason, when I mention the price, and the fact that there's a free option, I seem to lose these customers every single time.)

    Too bad it is gone now - probably U2 drivers. Tried to respond to it - but I think Steve got to it.
