Why can you not import a CSV file properly and ignore commas within string columns? I have been trying to import a very large (~250,000 line) Comma Seperated Value file into SQL Server for almost an hour now. Its very frustrating to see something like this
So while I was waiting for an import to finish, I was reading an article on AnandTech about a PC users month long experience with a Mac. As the below picture shows, there was a link for the word “email”. Hoping that it would point to some of the email responses to the article, I almost clicked it. Once I hovered over the link I got this:
How annoying. Apparently you can have an advertising bot scan the content on your web pages and insert ad links where links never used to be.
What is actually interesting is the software that the “email” link points to. SpyRecon. From the website, SpyRecon “records everything that happens on the computer that you wish to monitor. This software records all keystrokes, instant messenger conversations, and actually takes pictures of exactly what is happing on the computer screen. Best of all this software is capable of running in an invisible mode where it is possible to monitor all activities on your computer with complete secrecy.” Additionally, if you purchase the Complete version, you can ” discreetly install SpyRecon on any computer even if its hundreds of miles away, meaning it is possible monitor all activities without ever needing physical access to the computer. Unlimited customer support is included with SpyRecon Complete.”
Now who knows ho easy it is to remotely install this, but it really seems to be a shady product. There is nothing like “discrete install” and “record all keystrokes” to pop up a security flag in your mind.

Google, along with other leading search engines, have adopted a tag on a hyperlink, that when used, will stop the search engine spider from counting that link in a page referral ranking system. I have used it on the above link to the questionable software, as I do not want sites like that to have a good page rank.
