   A good example of this is Windows performance counters since they are process ID based. That is more complicated than knowing if a service named X is running. It's tough if you want to know more than just if the app is running.

   Monitoring background services can be difficult due to changing process ids. If anyone is looking for a commercial product that does this, I would recommend checking out Stackify. We do server monitoring, app monitoring, errors, logs, metri

   But in this case SQL Azure is not something you can get locked in on. You can switch to normal SQL Server at anytime away from Azure.

   SQL Azure starts at $5 a month. Hosting a couple linux VMs for MariaDB would be a lot more expensive. SQL Azure is extremely affordable even as you scale up and it is fully managed. For basic SQL usage it is awesome and the value is unbeata

   One of their biggest competitors is going to be AutoTrader.com and maybe even similar sites that already have a massive audience on the buying side. AutoTrader offers a VIP service for selling cars where they talk to people and take care of

   Diet is the most important. Highly recommended a paleo type diet. No processed foods or sugar. Forget counting calories. Just healthy whole foods. Meat, fruits, veggies, nuts, etc. No breads or sugar. Down 25 pounds. Works great for me!

   That would still happen when you license the car at the DMV. Even for cars purchased out of state.

   I agree. No idea what they do based on that description.

   Probably a similar number if you looked at it as an actual percentage of new companies. My next door neighbor is the founder of a little company called Garmin. Cerner was also founded here.

    Only because the costs of doing business are higher, not because the potential of the company is higher.

    This is where having a startup outside of the valley is nice. Nobody where we are (KC) really even expects stock options. We just pay a good competitive salary and don't have to compete with someone like Google paying 2x as much. We ha

    I don't think the wealthy necessarily represent political power. I think corporate lobbyists are more to blame than the ultra wealthy as individuals.

    Would it make more sense not to abandon all that work but instead just run the project on Windows??

    I loved it. It's like big bang theory meets start ups and IT.

    Their money may very well be funding lots of start ups. The wealthy employ lots of people.

    I agree. Windows Phone is looking fantastic. I was highly impressed at Cortana and the other changes at Build.

    They have by far the best development tool set available and they are all in on making Azure an amazing product. I think their future is bright.

    CLR apps require just in time compiling which can take a little time to first run. So this should speed up opening the apps.

    They changed the portal a whole back and silverlight is no longer used. I hated it too. New one is very nice.

    I think you have a good point here. My Tesla must have some sort of integrated SIM. Someday if that needed to be changed not touching the hardware to do it would be preferred.

    So with Alt-F1 I can copy and paste the columns and stuff out of it. With your quick info I can't. Yours doesn't tell me the varchar lengths, nullable, etc etc like alt-f1 does. If I am using a certain database already your quick

    Sorry I meant Alt-F1 by the way. After installing your product it has been sitting for several minutes grabbing all the schema or something... so I can't get even get quick info to work at this point when Alt-F1 works every time. But v

    This looks great. Couple questions 1. How is your find all references different than the show dependencies function? 2. Your quick info function looks similar to just hitting Shift-F1 when highlighting an object. Yours maybe doesn't ev

    I don't know if I would say discourages it. It is more a different style. Point and click GUIs and wizards versus memorizing command line commands.
