So, yesterday, I commented on the CCC having cultural references that may not be understood by some. So, in that vain, I present the following:
1. On your head or under your toe,
Culture affects where it will go.
Either way, used in snow. (8 letters)
2. Shorten also and line; stay warm (5 letters)
They are both related.

Correct.
In Canada and the upper U.S., a wooden sled with a curved front; in the South, a winter hat.
|
|
|
|
|
2. Scarf(?)
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

These beyond me, but if they could be solved by everyone they would not be very cryptic. 
Life is too shor
|
|
|
|
|
2. Shorten also and line; stay warm (5 letters)
also --> too
line --> queue
Shorten them to 'to' and 'que'.
Together, toque.
What is referred to in Canada as a toque (winter hat) is referred to in the South as a toboggan.

...in a service that is intended to fill in where Sql Server Express is lacking?
I discovered that SQL Server Express lacks the ability to implement agents, so I'm writing a service that provides agent-like capabilities. It uses MEF to allow plugin DLLs to be developed that can run like an agent at specified intervals, specific times, based on your own triggering mechanism (such as using a FileSystemWatcher), or on-demand (from another desktop/web application).
You could even run agents against any instance of SQL Server on your network from the same service.

Yes.
I've thought of doing some work in SQLServer Express at home, but have delayed because of the very issue you raise. Yes, I can get to a full version of SQL using my work credentials, but that would be using an illegal copy, so I haven't.

If you are able to run this on older versions of SQL Server then hell yes.
As I am working with SQL Server 2008 R2 at present.

Any instance of any version. Each agent executes the code you write, and connects to the database you specify. Any sql query you write in the agent would be task-specific, so it would be version-agnostic. You could even run the service on a machine that doesn't have sql server installed on it.
I'm also going to try to make agent modules be able to trigger on-demand run requests between each other.
You could potentially setup a system that interacts with several SQL instances at once, regardless of their version.

I'd be interested in using it. Worked on something like this some years back, and may need something like this again the future. Do you need help and are you posting it online?

Nope, don't need help, and was going to post it as an article.

"Google is now a more trusted source of news than the websites it aggregates" [^]:
"Online search engines have overtaken traditional media as the most trusted source for general news and information, according to a global survey of 27,000 people by Edelman, a public relations firm. The data will be presented to delegates at the World Economic Forum in Davos this week.
The trust gap between traditional media and search engines is even more pronounced among millennials." I guess this explains why my cursor is lit up with a blue-fluorescence reminiscent of Cherenkov Radiation.

I remember some #cough cough# years ago when I was studying Politics at A-Level discussing olde worlde news sources. A rather well informed professor gave us articles from different papers on the same event and we had to compare them. One thing that came out of this was that [0] the more news sources you used, the more honest the aggregated information was and [b] Margaret Thatcher was a bithc.

Funny thing is that most of the times, news journals are posted by their authors after Google-ing about the Hot topics of that day.

Google themselves aren't the source of the news, though, so it's a good thing. Any bias in the results you get is likely to be the bias you wanted.

I don't think there'd be room for numbers that big.
