jQuery, bgiframe and IE6 z-order hacks
Well, it probably looks like an odd title. But let’s face it: we still have to support IE6 for some of our clients no matter how much we don’t like it or it shouldn’t be.

SQL CURSOR Performance – SQL For Programmers

So, if this is unhelpful to you, just consider this Dave’s SEO experiment.
