I'll never forget hearing Deep Purple at Fillmore West on November 30, 1968; also on the bill was one of my favorite groups, It's a Beautiful Day. I had just come back after forty-seven days at sea on a back-and-forth from Oakland, California to Da Nang, Vietnam on a refrigerated tractor-trailer carrying ship taking 292 containers of frozen vegetables, meat, picnic meats, etc. to the US troops (couldn't have our soldiers eating rice too often).
Purple rocked out, but those were the better-living-through-chemistry daze when it was easy to be rocked-out 
cheers, Bill

I saw them when the reformed in Knebworth in 85, didn't think much of them then. Perhaps we were just too damn far from the stage.
Heck, even meatloaf looked tiny!

Both good groups but never got to see either one and I might have received some of the goods you were shipping as Da Nang was our closest supply point. We were very far north, about 7 miles from the DMZ so we didn't get a lot of creature comforts but when we did we appreciated the hell out of them thanks to guys like you. Thanks
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!

Let's see...
The Lakers didn't make the NBA playoffs.
The owner of the LA Clippers is a racist.
Solange Knowles attached Jay Z in an elevator.
The "Bieb" investigated for robbery.
Its a madhouse! Nothing a small tactical nuke wouldn't cure... but a madhouse none the less.

Don't forget the on going celebritard undergarment shortage. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I'm curious, what more do you expect can be done?
Continue a futile search of one of the most inaccessible areas on the planet after seeing absolutely no evidence that they are even looking in the right place. For DEAD people!

The Australian search is continuing - they have just allocated $90 million in the federal budget for it.

I think your pronouncements on what other people are thinking, or feeling, might carry more weight if you published them on stone tablets, and had them delivered by supernatural means.

And until they look for the plane on Diego Garcia, they won't find anything.

The various naval forces in the world have the ability to accurately track a nearly silent submarine, yet the location of an actively pinging black box cannot be pin-pointed by that same equipment? I call bullshit.
"We could hear it but can't find it"? Seriously? All passive SONAR equipment keeps logs of signals in terms of strength and vector. A single ship can triangulate on a noise spike by simply traveling in a straight line at a constant speed for 10 miles or so. There's NO WAY they can't find it if it's under water. I used to track subs for a living. I know how that stuff works.

I meant to delete five rows from a table and wrote very quickly this
delete dbo.tblXYZ
where ID >= 116 or ID <= 120
ended blowing the whole table away. Talk about blowing your feet off
I know, I know it should have been AND not OR, it is too late now. 
UPDATE: I have a backup, but lost a hour worth of work...

Ummm, is "I didn't do it" an option? If not, run, run away.

I'm the sole creator and maintainer of the data. No where to run
|
|
|
|
|
To avoid such problems, I usually substitute a SELECT query using the desired conditional clause to see what records will be affected BEFORE executing the DELETE query.
I hope it wasn't anything you can't recreate!
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

|

Real men do not care. They simply run the query.
And then in middle of night they restore the backup that they did before running the query.
