Ah yes, the comments[^] on the post point that out, I just never got that far.
Well, at least I have learnt something today, I can now, at a glance, distinguish between Polish and Russian.

I need to post some pictures from the time when I spent a year working in China. They're just as bad.
The short of it is I was there as a representative for the company that I worked for in Dubai.

The Polish language uses "our" alphabet, and not the Cyrillic. I bet it's in Russian, and not Polish.

Israel is apologising to the Beatles, but the picture used by the Daily Telegraph is that of the Least Beatle.
Certainly the 6th and not the best(No pun intended)
Makes a change for israel to apologise for anything![^]
Why not use Pauls pic? or a group photo? rather than Thomas the Tank Engine!

I don't get it. Why the public apologies? They probably regret having canceled the concert now, but going as far as issuing public apologies?

They could just be feeling guilty because we are running out of beatles! (only 3 left!)
But wouldn't it really be a shame if Paul McCartney was the Last One!
We need to do the world a favour, and indeed Heather and Ringo, and arrange for a 'Hit' on Paul.
Killing Him would be a shrewd career move and increase sales of Beatles Records.
And also increase the 'Average' music talent in the world.

What it would be really interesting - if they regret it that much - is they get a really good team together and get the remaining Beatles reunited for a special concert in Israel - like Led Zeppelin did to commemorate the death of Ahmet Ertegun. That would certainly be a hit.
That would really increase the Beatles records sale as well ... without having to sacrifice Paul

Pete Best?
Does he not count. Was he not in Germany? Is he Talented?
I grant you three dead beatles, Sutcliffe, Lennon and Harrison, but the the 3 living ones continue a bit longer!

The Frog Chorus from the pond in my neighbourhood is real Grammy material. They are over 1km away, but on a clear night it's amazing!

I'm expecting it not to be out of sympathy, but use Beatles for what? It's not like they're still together and playing.

Yet another postponement I read on some blogs. What is the actual status? Our company did not upgrade to 2005 albeit some of our 3rd party applications run on 2005 and Express and we planned to upgrade from 2000 to 2008 this first semester. Any comments?

SQL Server 2008 was never going to be ready in the first half of this year. The February 'launch' event was always going to be a marketing event, and I actually thought all 2008 products were going to miss it, so Visual Studio 2008 coming out at the end of last year was a surprise. I think Windows Server 2008 is going to miss as well.
I'd go with 2005 SP2 for new systems right now. Only hold up if you actually need any of 2008's new features[^] immediately. There are a few new data types in there, particularly the spatial data types, but largely it's little tweaks to make it more predictable and improve performance in some areas.

Did you know that you can use extension methods and LINQ when targeting .NET 2.0? You just need to implement the necessary types from System.Core yourself, e.g.:
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text;
namespace ConsoleApplication1 { using System.Linq;
static class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { var l = new List<string> { "First", "Second", "Third" }; var query = from e in l where e.Contains("i") select e + "!"; foreach (var r in query) Console.WriteLine(r); Console.ReadKey(); } } } namespace System.Runtime.CompilerServices { public class ExtensionAttribute : Attribute { } } namespace System.Linq { public static class Enumerable { public static IEnumerable<T> Where<T>(this IEnumerable<T> input, Predicate<T> condition) { foreach (T item in input) { if (condition(item)) yield return item; } }
public static IEnumerable<U> Select<T, U>(this IEnumerable<T> input, Converter<T, U> convert) { foreach (T item in input) yield return convert(item); } } }
