    Please help me reconcile these words with the deeds.

    The motto of this Making an Impression forum is: (Please do not misunderstand my intent with this thread. I do NOT intend it to be political in nature. I'm trying to understand how this person can justify and reconcile his words with his behavior from a Making-an-Impression, word-usage...

    How can I get rid of "PC Fix Speed", a particularly nasty PC malware infection.

    Saturday, my wife was using one of our PCs. During her session, she said that a window popped up that said the PC needed a Java update. She hit the [OK] button [Yikes!!!] What got installed is a piece of **** malware named. "PC Fix Speed". According to Google searches, the results seem to...

    How can we rename a sequence that another user owns?

    There is no "ALTER SEQUENCE <name> RENAME..." syntax, and "RENAME <old_name> to <new_name>" does not allow a schema qualification. So my Oracle brain teaser for the day is, "How can we rename a sequence that another user owns without connecting as the owner?" [santa]Mufasa (aka Dave of Sandy...

    Word abuses

    (I have tried to find a previous thread that dealt with word abuses, but I cannot locate it. If you can locate it, please let me know, and I'll add to that one, then I'll delete this thread.) The painful sentence I heard just now on the Noon News was, "Be sure to get the vaccinizations for your...

    I miss the PUN thread (but my aim is getting better)

    It's been nearly a year and a half since we last posted in thread1256-1633837. I've missed having it around, and since we cannot post to that thread any longer, here's a new thread for us: I changed my iPod's name to Titanic. It's syncing now. When chemists die, they barium. I know a guy...

    ...For you very punny people

    It's been awhile since we had a Pun Fest: To write with a broken pencil is pointless. When fish are in schools they sometimes take debate. A thief who stole a calendar got twelve months. When the smog lifts in Los Angeles, U.C.L.A. The professor discovered that her theory of earthquakes...

    Does news media go overboard with use of &quot;Alleged&quot;?

    Make 11/11/11 @ 11:11:11 a.m. interesting

    In terms of "Date Grammar", an all-1s date won't happen again for about a thousand years. And I don't think any of us will be here for that. So make 11/11/11 @ 11:11:11 interesting. ...Then tell us here how you spent it. (I congratulate the lucky guy that gets married tomorrow...he'll never...
