No, I do not think that the world is going to end. I hope it's not going to anyways. The relevance of 2240 A.D. is in regards to the "Duration of the Word" as indicated by the Jewish religion which remains relevant to the 6th letter of the Hebrew alphabet which is relevant to 5796 years which...

Don't shoot the messenger. lol I looked it up and today's date According to the Hebrew calendar: 5, Nisan 5769. So, Looks like we have another 231 years until the end of this millenium. Don't tell that to the Mayans though. Looks like someone forgot to add: Dim In The Beginning as Variant...

Also check out D-Ban. It's free. I've not personally used the solution Ron proposed. I'm sure it works just as good. One overwriting product is generally as good as the next and I assume that Erasure uses overwriting. If you want to physically destroy the HDD it's not that hard to crack the...

Sure. 66-42 = 24 which is 42 sdrawckaB. While interesting, I cannot say if 'www' is indeed 666. It makes sense. But I'm not going to subscribe to it. I do, however find that 6 * 6 + 6 = 42. :p I looked up the sixth letter of the hebrew alphabet. It's Vav. Not being a linguist I can't say how...

Happy Birthday :D

Do you have any horror stories from any of them you'd like to share? What was the best or worst experience you had? I'm just curious as to the things that other unfortunates (If you can call the drive to tackle insane databasing problems that) such as ourselves go through. lol

Being relatively new to this forum.... Ok, REALLY new to this forum, i have a certain apprehension about spouting random rants and what-not. Considering we're standing around yappin at the watercooler (which needs to be filled BTW) I was interested to learn of your Access debacles, management...

A year and a half ago I lost my position in a fairly lucritive real estate business when it went under because of the recession and had to get a 'real' job. Since my forced slavery to The Man I have not been made redundant, yet. I haven't been and *hopefully* I won't be laid off. I luckily...

I would like to point out that the character corresponding to the number 42 (ASCII Decimal) is the Asterisk. Wild card. Interesting

Is the answer REALLY 42?

Rationality, I found is the bastard, red headed step child of Relativity.

Modest indeed. We should implement a waste disposal module as well.

Maybe now is a good time to define the scope of the Database. When you say Perfect database are we talking about a database that will contain and track everything? If so taxes won't be a problem because we'd have all of the information about all of the assets in all of the world. Transactions...

As they say, There are only two sure things in life Death and Taxes. Individual users would love FIASCO if they weren't taxed. What if we taxed the companies but not the employees and based the tax rate on the number of employees and the companies contribution to the welfare of it's respective...

:o Ahh, yes. Silly me. I have taken a liking to FIASCO. It has great ring to it.

Ahhh, the invisible hand theory. Here's an interesting question (No Wiki folks): What economic theorist first proposed the 'invisible hand' theory and how might it or might it not apply to the perfect database? Tank You... Tank you berry muuuuuch. [Where's the Elvis Smiley?] I have a little...

Interesting topic. I was thinking of this very thing for the past few weeks. I'm not trying to hijack the thread, but do to my 'newness' on these boards thought my questions might be appropriate here. I, having been a pupil of a programmer fluent in just about every language imaginable have...

According to topic this is a global database correct? As such consensus will vary region to region based upon the qualitative morals/ethical boundaries and the differing perspective of the regions indigenous peoples. I move that all peoples be given equal 'voice' in this, the World Database...

Concurred. So I guess the question now is: 'Who' is the perfect candidate (scapegoat) to spearhead this massive undertaking and what happens if/when the database needs to be upsized? :p
