In the case of the Storm Troopers, it's actually pretty simple. What the clone masters didn't tell Palpatine was that the storm troopers would have a giant creche mind. Therefore any one storm trooper would fire from the point-of-view of some random storm trooper in the vicinity, making it almost impossible for him to hit any target unless he was in single combat. The same thing may be true of the Daleks, I don't know.

I'm not in Alberta... I'm in Monterrey, NL, México. But I gotta agree with you, I lived here from 2002-2005, and every winter those years was very cold and raining alot, even 2 or 3 consecutive days with non-stop rain; this "winter" during the morning its fresh, afternoon its hot (not too hot though) and chilly at most during the night, and very little rain. I saw the phenomenon in Mexicali, BC, México too. Maybe there's something (bad) happening world wide that we're not being told, maybe that 2012 thing is true.

Happy new year to you from Calgary... At least for one day we can forget about the battle of Alberta. :) I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

How can you possibly agree or disagree with a question? Or are you aware of the state of the OPs keyboard?

I think this is very much a taste thing. Lots of books are great for one person and lousy for another. The Handbook for Reluctant Database Administrators by Josef Finsel DBA Survivor: Become a Rock Star DBA by Thomas LaRock (more about the having the job and succeeding). Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Administration for Oracle DBAs by Mark Anderson, James Fox and Christian Bolton You might well ask why the last one. My feeling on books that are designed for crossover people is that they often show a lot of details that are missed by people who are immersed in the technology. This book is great even if you aren't an Oracle DBA because it tells you a lot of very gritty details. The author communicates in a context outside of the realm he's discussing and sometimes that clarifies things. Anyway, your friend might be over his head with this list of books but he can figure that out for himself. Another approach is to get the certification books. Another approach is to just read the help files that come with SQL Server. For learning sql; I send people to these three books, in order sql for dummies sql from the ground up sql for smarties (by Joe Celko) For most getting the first two is enough. For someone used to databases the second might be enough without the first. _____________________________ Give a man a mug, he drinks for a day. Teach a man to mug...
