Famous Quotes & Sayings

Sometimes you have to be careful when selecting a new name for yourself. For instance, let's say you have chosen the nickname "Fly Head." Normally you would think that "fly Head" would mean a person who has beautiful swept-back features, as if flying through the air. But think again. Couldn't it also mean "having a head like a fly"? I'm afraid some people might actually think that.

Towards the end of 2006 and into 2007, you're going to start to see integrated ILM and CDP solutions, where CDP literally feeds the ILM infrastructure. Everything flowing through a CDP stack makes it really easy to apply policies to the data without impacting the online data flow. And that's where I think you really start to see the power of this. Not just in the instantaneous recovery or the DR components of it, but the long-term ILM integration.

Brian Hill

The thing I liked most was that when Dwight was matched up with Duncan, he took the ball right at him. That's what we've been trying to get him to do all season.
