    I had that problem with Cheeze-Its yesterday. It says Made with 100% Real Cheese on the front, but when you look at the ingredients, the first thing is wheat.

    As long as all the cheese that is used is real cheese, and not "cheese food", then I think that makes sense.

    And now I'm hungry for baked cheese.

  • You are right. Not just here but in almost every forum I see an increasing number of questions on very basic concepts. Perhaps RTFM should be the initial response.

    Welcome to "The Thread" where this actually has become a place for SQL Server Central dwellers to talk about whatever we want. 'Only rule is that you will usually be scolded if you post code here though... ๐Ÿ™‚

    Woohoo, on-topic again!

    Back off-topic: apparently SQL Server 2012 RTM is released (evaluation edition).

    General availability is for the first of April. Why does that make me skeptical?

    I don't think it makes you skeptical. I think you doubt it because you're already skeptical and the industry tends to be... shall we say "ambitious" when it comes to release dates.

    I assume that they're saying some of the cheese is real, (and thus, 100% real), even if 99.99% of the cheese is fake.

    Either that, or I'm one of jcrawf02's reading comp failures.

    When I realized I'd thought it was 100% cheese and that it was actually a cheese-flavored cracker, my first thought was "Of course it is, what was I thinking!?"

    Well, it took my helpdesk a week. I know crap about random IE settings and website design and new vs. old and they were busier than my 'non-critical' issue indicated. That and this stumped two of them, too.

    The fact that my work PC is a policied locked up nightmare doesn't help matters.

    Well, problem 1 with that, see above. Attempts to download Firefox end with a 'Stop cheatin' the system!' result.

    Problem 2... I LIKE IE. *shrugs* It does what I need... usually.
