I am nice, it was an illustration of what a logical position/reply would be towards their position "I am a social outcasts". It's a poor argument "it works for me as a social outcast". It's not normal to be one.
Do you mean windows updates? We use MECM so we can test windows updates effectively. This way Windows won't auto-update while your testing other things.
We have some bots that use residential IP blocks (including TMobile, AT&T, Verizon, etc)... When they hit, it's 1 request per IP, but they use 1000 IPs easily. Then we don't see that IP again for a week or more.
My issue is that they are oversold to fix everything when, so far, it seems like fancy reporting and searching. Once you have an answer, then you go and fact check the answers with even more searches or plug in the provided code and find the API is wrong or it just doesn't compile.
Of course, I also do things that aren't the normal/common, so the learning isn't there.
Simple things, like basic CRUD operations work well but my apps aren't basic. =P
I use 'SELECT message, from, sentdate FROM offline_chat WHERE userid = <usersid?> AND acknowledged = 0'.....
Or something similar. I would bet it's all about indexing. It could be in a separate DB just for offline messages. When they come online, they would be moved to a ViewedDB or something. Could be just a really large table. =)
