Hmm. Thought as much. And for four quid it's unlikely to be high grade. When it's cold, dark and raining, you really do need a pump you can rely on. Perhaps an old fashioned pump with a Presta adapter is the safest bet.

Has anyone tried that pump? Any good?

I love programmes like these. Before you all cry a river for the slow-witted dinosaur record industry, it's worth taking a look at this The Problem With Music :Negativworldwidewebland When your eyebrows return from the back of your head... Dirty Little Secrets of the Record Business: Why So Much Music You Hear Sucks - Hank Bordowitz - Google Books Would you believe... there's more? RIAA Accounting: Why Even Major Label Musicians Rarely Make Money From Album Sales | Techdirt RIAA Accounting: How To Sell 1 Million Albums And Still Owe $500,000 | Techdirt I recently read a story of a record contract that stipulated record (vinyl) and cassette sales. The publisher released the band's catalogue on the (as then) new fangled CD format and the artist got nothing whatsoever from these sales as their contract only specified cassette and vinyl.

It's not a school for financiers, is it? This sort of magic is performed by the banking fraternity.

Holy smoke!

Handset coupler? Couldn't get one to work with the family Trimphone. Micronet 800 was just a dream for me....

Floodgates opened... here goes: Input devices? Absolute luxury. It were all ones and zeros in my day. Times were so hard, we ran out of ones and we had to make do with lower case 'L's. But we were 'appy.

I love old fangled stuff. I have a small collection in my loft, all enfangled in the '70s and '80s. Commodore PET, several working Spectrums (48K rubber keys & Spectrum+), lots of Spectrum software and accessories, two Cambridge Z88 laptop-ish things (both broken), working Sinclair QL, Apricot F1 (twin 3.5" drives), several Psion 3 (these were great). I have have no idea why I'm keeping them, perhaps I'll open a museum.

Oh that takes me back. Chrtistmas 1982. Black & white portable TV, a Spectrum (16K in my case), the Horizons cassette. Best Christmas ever. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be, you know.

Remember the 'Turbo' buttons?

Try: if (shExpMatch(host,"Server-01-01:1234*")) { return "DIRECT"; }

You might get away with that. But it all deep-ends.

SQL Activity Monitor is a good tool. Performance Analysis Using SQL Server 2008 Activity Monitor Tool Here's a thread that covers a lot of possibilities http://www.edugeek.net/forums/mis-systems/108124-peaking-cpu-server.html

I find that odd. What's the difference in support between 2008R2 and other servers? If it involved the disassembly of core dumps I could understand.... Of course there is licencing - if there's no cash to shell out on servers then that's another matter.

--- This is a non-sequitur. This conclusion doesn't follow from logical reasoning. --- You don't run client apps on a server. You're introducing extra complexity. --- There are plenty of advantages to running 64 bit server and 64 bit SQL server, and plenty of disadvantages to running 32 bit server software. The SIMS client is indeed 32 bit, but the architecture of the underlying servers is opaque. A high performance back-end is better than a low performance back-end. --- This is an argument? Seriously? --- An earlier argument stated that running SIMS client on a server is a positive thing. Yet now running other software on a server is a negative thing? --- Quite so. Which is why you don't install client software on a server. Logging in to the server and running the SIMS client will degrade the server performance.

Suggestion: If it doesn't work as SYSMAN, try it as sa. ;););)

The SIMS software uses application roles within SQL (or it did when I last looked - I've drifted out of SQL these days.) In a nutshell, the SIMS application connects to the SQL system whilst logged in as the user. The SIMS application then switches to various application roles as necessary, to do different tasks that require different privileges, providing a password known only to the application. If this is successful, the application's connection loses the user's permissions and executes with the privileges of that application role. So, it's all down to the intent of the software and application roles. Using application roles, it's possible for any user to do (virtually) anything, if the software permits. To the original question - it all depends if the utility is connecting at a server level (using usernames and passwords found in SQL's Security>Users) or application level users (maintained internally by SIMS) I've been away from SIMS for a while, but I think the tool required a server login, (rather than an internal application username) so I would suggest the you would use 'sa'.

Indeed. Club Tropicana (popularised by Wham!) had a similar business model, but they went under quite a while ago.

Unity certainly seems to have polarised users. I use Unity as my desktop of choice on 12.04 LTS. I've tried alternatives, from the simple Open/Flux boxes, E17, through to KDE 4, trying out various distos from Puppy, Crunchbang to the truly excellent Sabayon. Unity hits the sweet spot for me, it's simple, unobtrusive and it doesn't get in the way. I'm not a purist at all, Ubuntu with Unity just works for me. The Amazon tie-in, though, now that's a different matter. I'm uneasy about this. I understand that Mark Shuttleworth has put a huge amount of his personal fortune into Ubuntu, and Canonical is the business arm that offers commercial support much the same as Redhat. I have looked, but I've can't find out if it makes any money. If it doesn't, I can't see a working business model.
