How to detect a 2-way mirror?

Not to scare you, but to make sure that you are aware. Many of the hotels and textile showrooms cheat the costumers & watch them privately :(


HOW TO DETECT A 2-WAY MIRROR:

When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc., how many of you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall is a real mirror, or actually a 2-way mirror i.e., they can see you, but you can't see them). There have been many cases of people installing 2-way mirrors in female changing rooms or bathroom or bedrooms. It is very difficult to positively identify the surface by just looking at it. So, how do we determine with any amount of certainty what type of mirror we are looking at?

CONDUCT THIS SIMPLE TEST:

Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and if there is a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail, then it is a GENUINE mirror.

However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail, then BEWARE, IT IS A 2-WAY MIRROR!(there is someone seeing you from the other side). So remember, every time you see a mirror, do the "fingernail test."

It doesn't cost you anything. It is simple to do.

The reason there is a gap on a real mirror, is because the silver is on the back of the mirror UNDER the glass. Whereas with a two-way mirror, the silver is on the surface. Keep it in mind! Make sure and check every time you enter in hotel rooms. May be someone is making a film on you.

Ladies: Share this with your friends.
Men: Share this with your sisters, wife, daughters, friends, colleagues

Easiest way to add comments to your SQL 2k code ...

If you are using SQL Server (2K) Query Analyzer to create your Stored procedure / Function / View / Trigger etc., then probably the below tip (!!!) might be of use to you. This would be particularly useful to maintain uniformity in commenting the code when more than one developer is working on a project.


Step 1: Create a comment template something like the one I have shown below:

/**********************************************************************************************
Name             : Name of the SP/Function/View/etc., comes here
Parameters    : Details about the parameters should come here.

Description     : Give a detailed description about the procedure here

Developer      :M.Vadivel (Put your name here :) )
Created Date : Date on which the procedure is created comes here

Change History:-

Modified By:     Modified Date:

Test Script  : Sample execution script would come here. For example, Execute GetDataFromEmployee '10'
**********************************************************************************************/


Step 2: Save it as a file with an extension .tql @ ....\Microsoft sql server\80\tools\templates\SQL Query Analyzer

Step 3: So from now on you just need to press "CTRL" + "SHIFT" + "INSERT" and select the .tql file which you have created.

Easy isn't it?
