Speaking softly to the gov't does not guarantee the military's cooperation or consent.

No discussion tonight of how Pakistan's military and its central government have diverging policies and rhetoric.

All the wonks were saying that McCain needed not to appear angry, condescending or smug. Either they were wrong or didn't make the grade.

In-memory will -hopefully- be available to non-Gemini AS cubes too, says Netz.
|
|
|
Client engine is accessible via same APIs as conventional Analysis Services. Client UI is not extensible at present.
|
|
|
I just asked Amir Netz whether the server instances also use an in-memory MOLAP strategy. Answer is yes!
|
|
|
Server instances of analysis services can be hit via XMLA and SoAp from your apps.
|
|
|
SharePoint gets a VERY sophisticated dashboard for monitoring usge of uploaded cubes and reports. even timeline-animated charts.
|
|
|
Server-side, SharePoint can spin up multiple AS server instances dynamically, as needed.
|
|
|

Gemini client allows browsing of huge data. Demo has 100,000,000 rows in one table.
|
|
|
Gemini lets users do real analytics on the client and "publish" the results to SharePoint and Analysis Services.
|
|
|
Idea of Gemini is to mae peace with info workers creating BI in Excel, and help them do it with "supervission."

BTW, Rasmussen is a conservative poll, and their page is filled with McCain banner ads. So I find their projections of Obama's lead to ...
...
|
|
|
So Rasmussen has Obama 30 electoral votes over the top, when leaners are included. Wow. Still, 30 days to go. Tonight's debate may be ...
...
|
|
|
Electoral College projections now show Obama leading 217-163. However, when “leaners” are included, Obama leads 300-174.
