“Distributed Transactions (SQL Server JTA) The Microsoft JDBC driver supports distributed transactions via SQL Server extended stored procedures. These are implemented in sqljdbc.dll, which is found in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC\SQLServer JTA directory. Beginning with JDBC SP2, the JDBC driver also runs on 64-bit Windows and can connect to the 64-bit edition of SQL Server 2000. The 64-bit version of sqljdbc.dll is located in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC\SQLServer JTA 64-bit directory. To install JTA support, do the following: 1. Copy the appropriate sqljdbc.dll to your SQL Server’s binn directory (for example, C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\binn). From Query Analyzer, run the instjdbc.sql script to install the extended stored Procedures”

Mon, 05 Jan 2009 09:45:14 -0600

“This document is the literary correlative to “Mission Accomplished.” Bush kept America safe (provided his presidency began Sept. 12, 2001). He gave America record economic growth (provided his presidency ended December 2007). He vanquished all the leading Qaeda terrorists (if you don’t count the leaders bin Laden and al-Zawahri). He gave Afghanistan a thriving “market economy” (if you count its skyrocketing opium trade) and a “democratically elected president” (presiding over one of the world’s most corrupt governments). He supported elections in Pakistan (after propping up Pervez Musharraf past the point of no return). He “led the world in providing food aid and natural disaster relief” (if you leave out Brownie and Katrina).”

“Fact: not only is the president-elect one of the finest orators in modern political history, but he far exceeds President Bush in terms of intellectualism and verbal discipline. In other words, a Bush gaffe reveals an inherent lack of intellectual curiosity and a general ineptitude when it comes to, well, talking. An Obama gaffe is an isolated incident, exclusive of his ability to speak, think and reason. Nothing more.”

“When he was preparing for them during the Democratic primaries, Obama was recorded saying, “I don’t consider this to be a good format for me, which makes me more cautious. I often find myself trapped by the questions and thinking to myself, ‘You know, this is a stupid question, but let me … answer it.’ So when Brian Williams is asking me about what’s a personal thing that you’ve done [that’s green], and I say, you know, ‘Well, I planted a bunch of trees.’ And he says, ‘I’m talking about personal.’ What I’m thinking in my head is, ‘Well, the truth is, Brian, we can’t solve global warming because I f—-ing changed light bulbs in my house. It’s because of something collective’.””

“the emotional stakes are so high that I’ve been kind of a mess and often feel like I have to pull away for my own good—not watch the news, not read anything for a day or two. The month of September was a very black month for me, where after Palin’s selection I almost felt like an abuse victim. I thought, I just can’t let them hurt me again—I couldn’t engage with the news.”

To the “African-American vote”… THEY think you are lazy and undisciplined and easy to intimidate. Prove them wrong. Stay. The. Fuck. In. Line. To the “Jewish vote”… THEY think you are stupid and old and terrified of middle names. Prove them wrong. Stay. The. Fuck. In. Line. To the “Latino vote”… THEY think you are racist and too busy picking their lettuce for $50 and hour. Prove them wrong. Stay. The. Fuck. In. Line. To the “Hillary vote”… THEY think you can’t tell a uterus from a policy position. Prove them wrong. Stay. The. Fuck. In. Line. To the “Gay vote”… many of THEM wish THEY were you, but that’s another rant. Stay the fuck in line and don’t settle for a provisional ballot unless you ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO. Provisional ballots WILL NOT be counted on election night and therefore will not be part of the “winner” narrative and since you did stay the fuck in line lets get your vote the fuck counted now. WE have the right and stamina to finish what we started and WE can hear Lady McBeth whispering in our ears, “But screw your courage to the sticking-place, and we’ll not fail.” (which is lofty, not-real-American edujewmicated, Shakespeare for STAY THE FUCK IN LINE!)”

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 09:48:18 -0500

“On the road to great achievement, the late bloomer will resemble a failure: while the late bloomer is revising and despairing and changing course and slashing canvases to ribbons after months or years, what he or she produces will look like the kind of thing produced by the artist who will never bloom at all. Prodigies are easy. They advertise their genius from the get-go. Late bloomers are hard. They require forbearance and blind faith. (Let’s just be thankful that Cézanne didn’t have a guidance counsellor in high school who looked at his primitive sketches and told him to try accounting.) Whenever we find a late bloomer, we can’t but wonder how many others like him or her we have thwarted because we prematurely judged their talents.”

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 09:35:38 -0500

“The imprecision of their goals means that these artists rarely feel they have succeeded, and their careers are consequently often dominated by the pursuit of a single objective. These artists repeat themselves, painting the same subject many times, and gradually changing its treatment in an experimental process of trial and error. Each work leads to the next, and none is generally privileged over others, so experimental painters rarely make specific preparatory sketches or plans for a painting. They consider the production of a painting as a process of searching, in which they aim to discover the image in the course of making it; they typically believe that learning is a more important goal than making finished paintings. Experimental artists build their skills gradually over the course of their careers, improving their work slowly over long periods. These artists are perfectionists and are typically plagued by frustration at their inability to achieve their goal.”

“So this man who has been a creature in and of Washington for decades, who voted with Bush 95% of the time, who supported him on Iraq and on the economy, now wants to convince the country that the problem is Republicans (yes, we know that, Senator), and so therefore the solution is - wait for it - Republicans. Riiight. That will go over well with the country. Easy sell.”
