I rub my future self's nose in it every chance I get, because he is smug and arrogant, which really irritates me.
Besides, there's no chance he can retaliate, so I figure "Why Not?"

Now, what would have been cool, is if your past me recommended a solution, using today's technology and best practices.

 If it changes it's not an ID.

Yes. You'd think so, right?
You tell that to the data providers we use. After you get them to keep IDs consistent you can work on getting them to normalise their data or even better: be consistent with quotes around integers in CSV files (hint: you don't put quotes around integers in CSV files. You most especially don't put quotes around the values on random rows)

There are no emoticons that sufficiently describes what I feel about that.
This is one of the reasons I don't trust NoSQL.
A former co-worker of mine is now working for a major car manufacturer (no, not the local one), the database he's working against isn't normalized.
"It's not necessary, It's handled in code". Well, apparently it wasn't.

Is CP under attack like United or WSJ or NYSE??? Oh no! Head for them that hills! 
Maybe just a serial spammer who will be gone soon, methinks.

Regarding the United fiasco, a quote in the paper yesterday was "Software is like a teenager: It does things for reasons no one can understand.”, huh? Christ, I wish I could use that excuse!

1. potato roll, toasted
2. Sharp cheddar cheese - finely grated
3. Fresh, raw jalapeno - split in half, lengthwise then finely cut
4. 1/4 yellow onion finely minced
5. Homemade meat chili without beans.
haha forgot the key ingredient: 6. Brats. I like plain brats, instead of hotdogs but ALL BEEF (Angus) is also exceptional.
I eat two at a time, 3 if I am feeling invincible. I just love these simple creations, they are so good for my heart and my bowels. Enjoy, or not.

That's about right.

In a pinch, Wolf Brand chili is also acceptable.
Haven't tried it with brats but I will have to do so, preferably beer brats.

What is a potato roll? Googling the recipe gives..
"Cook the potato in a microwave on HIGH until soft and it squeezes easily, using the designated baked potato setting".
Having looked at pictures, how do you put those in a bread-toaster?

Rats of b-grade quality, or simply a brat-wurst?
Lots of questions on the topic.

Your comments over there are right on too.
But, seriously, for once, made me pity on those recruiters. Looks like they have very few choices. Also means that there's scope for innovation.
