• Community Chat Buying questions about Zune

  Hello! I am considering getting a Zune (I have no music player at the moment, and am willing to give Microsoft's music player a shot), but I am very concerned about it being a "1.0" product; how much upgrading can Microsoft perform on the Zune through firmware/software upgrades before Zune 2.0 is released (I guess I'm concerned about plunking down $300 for a music player this year, only to see a new, improved version of Zune come out next year...) Specifically, I am wondering if the list of supported video and audio formats will ever be expanded through firmware and/or software upgrades, or if those will require a new Zune product... I am primarily interested in listening to my CD collection (the subscription service doesn't interest ...Show All

• Community Chat I can't believe most Windows users don't know how to use toolbars, OMG.

  This is most irritating. Almost all of Windows users in my company don't know how toolbar works. They don't know they can enable toolbar, take out toolbar, customize toolbar, and not even the simplest of all, move toolbar around. Toolbar is so simple, standard, and flexible. And yet, they don't know how to use it. And now, I think that's the main reason why IE7 doesn't support moveable toolbar, and that pisses me off even more. Argh. Yeah I understand. It is usually the developers fault when the GUI is not intuitive. But before I am good computer, I am already know how to enable toolbars and move it around. Of course at the time I don't understand English at all, even if it is in Chinese I still don't know ...Show All

• SQL Server Processing failures result in hangs - "Canceling process operation. Please wait."

  Whenever I process a cube and it fails (usually because of referential integrity issues and me forgetting to ignore errors), I'll click "stop", but the dialog will hang with the canceling notice. The only way I've discovered to get around this is to restart the SSAS server, but it just feels like I may be corrupting data or something by doing this. Is this a known issue Are there better ways of working around this Also, what are the best ways to debug the RI issues that typically cause cube processing to fail One problem with your approach, Mosha, as well as with mine, is that you would like to update fact records with correct dimension members, sooner or later. I would recommend SSIS for sol ...Show All
