To kill the fun... isn't it "an SQL"? I've never got this correctly, more so now with Jifs and sh**

My dad has a couple of cassette tapes where a couple of the guys who came up with SQL are talking about it, and they refer to it as "Sequel" and not "S.Q.L.", so I always say Sequel too. It's one of those things where it doesn't really matter though xD

I'm not sure about the correct way, but when it comes to acronyms (which SQL is) I break it down in to the words. By my reasoning, it is a SQL, not an Structured Query Language.

But I do see how it becomes problematic when pronouncing the acronym.

As for the joke: (Y)

    • The $80 video game - A new frontier of cost, or a bridge too far?

      By EdwardFranciscoVilla · Posted

      I would not mind paying 120 up to 150 dollars in this economy value of the dollar currency if their video game is quite breathtaking and excellent use of my hard earned work money. I think people need to appreciate all the effort workers and time that goes into excellent and worthy video games. Now if only the publishers and companies behind the video games would share the love with the developers those at the bottom of work making such games happen as in increase their money accounts and give them a more richer life that I wish would have happened . But how companies have bad reputation of being $$$ profit greedy I feel sad if there are any developers that feel unappreciated as in no real compensation for all the hours of work they put into a blockbuster hit . Have a great day everyone . Thank you developers engineers and programmers that make superb video games happen . You have my thanksgiving and I hope you really really appreciate my words . With you all about this

      I guess they use the free version, which doesn't send money to any Russians.
    • You will soon have fewer reasons to open Control Panel in Windows 11

      True, you can pin it to the Start Menu, but my preference is to pin it to the Taskbar since I am using W11 on a desktop with a large display and a lot of space on the Taskbar.
    • Elon Musk's robotaxi will have a human driver for 'safety' reasons

      200 mph. Try going 200 mph with a vehicle on a street in any city in America. Good luck. Yes its speculation but so is the idea that it has been 100% approved by the government. When a new drug is under development it goes through a number of test phases, each of increasing efficacy and safety. I would imagine it is the same in this case. You can similuate real conditions on test roads with other cars and if successful on test roads you move it to the next test phase of testing it on real streets with human assistance if needed. Testing conditions on test roads can never account for all real life situations on real roads. This is what I imagine is happening now. The final test phase.
