    SQL server enterprise edition needed for 24/7 applications?

    We run SQL 2008 R2 Standard and Enterprise for various apps, and provide 24/7 high availability on both sets of systems.

    Getting into Grad school....Tips, Suggestions, Thoughts

    I can't comment on what grad schools are looking for in general, as it really varies depending on the school. A word of advice if you care to listen; look for a professor who is doing research in a field you are interested in, and make sure you're going to grad school for the right reasons.
