      Now, I know what you're saying, but.. I am. I'm familiar with those applications. And they should be nuked. "Programming" an application in T-SQL is the most heinous crime ever invented anywhere in the galaxy.

                Cobol. In anagram form it sounds like a testicle.

                If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

                      Basicing anything of "percent increase in popularity" is generally nonsense, and good only for hype purposes. Say product A has 100 users and product B has 3. A year later, A has 110 users and B has 9. A had 10% growth while B had 200%, which sounds good in a press release as long as you ignore the facts that 1) A is still way more popular, 2) A added more users, and 3) A added more users than B has total.

                      Truth, James

                        Just right. For that you have to read original article - from that it clear how the title is misleading...

                        I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)
