it's not so much ms going bust as compared to if they keep doing what they do... they do have a history of changing the way things work,
for instance ie, once upon a time css had to test for ff vs ie, but then ms upped the ante by changing their own difference, so then there were tests not only for ie, but which version of ie.
What this means if you use their non standard features: you've put a bunch of code out to clients, along comes a new version of whatever you're using from ms, some clients upgrade, some don't - your code breaks in some places but not others.
in fact it'd almost be a good thing if ms went bust, at least they would no longer be changing stuff depending on which way nads farts are blowing, including still breaking their own staff regardless it works or not.

Check out some of Sander's articles. Very good for brushing up. Sorry, I don't have links, but assume you know who I'm referring to.

In general SQL Server Central [^] no matter what your expertise / level.
They have a log of good 'stairways' you can start with the Stairway to T-SQL DML – a SQL Server tutorial[^]
DML == Data Manipulation Language (the aspect of the language dealing with the data: SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE)
I'd recommend you review all of DML, not just select... but that's my opinion.
HTH,

I have downloaded the JDK setup file for version 8
I am trying to also download it for version 9
Can't figure it out.
Version 8 was clear, obvious, and simple; i.e., for Windows 64 bit, click and it happens.
Version 9 presents screens that I can't comprehend.
Like, where is it ?
These are the two URLs which I was instructed to use...
Thank you to anyone who knows the secret process; and especially thanks to anyone who knows it and will provide a response that makes sense and actually leads me to the knowledge of how to actually find the thing in the first place.
Machine here is Windows 7

It looks like Java 9 only supports Linux ...
For now?

Java 9 has been released. All of the targets are supported for that.

You should post this in the Java forum.

Thanks for that tip, suggestion, correction, and pointer. I thought I had already done exactly that.
Turns out it was a different question on a different topic.
Topic is now continued in the Java Forum

You are welcome.
This is where the secret is found.[^]

...granted, it's not over yet.
Besides working on some cool stuff and writing a bunch of blog posts (ok, that was shameless), taking care of my gf that got the creeping crud since Wed and today is finally starting to feel better, I had the fun task of disinfecting an Amazon EC2 server I run for a client. So, here's the shameless recount. Lots of Trojans, but the worst of it was some app that got installed that was running a "miner" program. WTF. How did the instance get infected to begin with? I have a small clue to which I blame myself for my stupidity. No, not open ports or password issues or other stuff, I believe the ultimate culprit was the FileZilla install that I had downloaded ages ago on the server was infected to begin with.
It's really amazing how a website is attacked -- daily I get numerous attempts to hack into the website itself. If I leave the SSH connection open, within minutes there are attempts to connect. And so forth. I need to start getting aggressive in automatically blacklisting IP's.
Good news is it's all cleaned up, though I'm not sure why Amazon doesn't provide a virus scanner in the OS as standard practice when you create an instance. This instance is running Windows Server 2012 R2, so I had to go through these hoops to get Security Essentials installed.
I can see now where a good IT security specialist (which I am NOT) would be worth the money, as well as investing in a server-grade AV program. Ah, the lessons we learn.

Aye, the one I had wasn't one of the ones listed, but yup. Nasty stuff.

You mean the FileZilla FTP Client? On the server?

C'mon Marc...you could probably write your own FTP client in a few hours.

At least be grateful that you can still get onto a roof. My days of roof work are over. I have a permanent form of ataxia with some vertigo that means I have to walk with a cane to help me stay balanced. Yuck! Growing old really sucks!

But the choices:
1. become grumpy old man - can say anything at any time (Pickles)
2. act a lot younger and do anything you like - can blame it on senility attack
Either way can get away with more than the stupid irresponsible young'uns. Hell, we've earned the right to do/say what we want.
