I'm not going to be to get these songs out of my mind!
Maybe this will help

Damn you! I clicked it
You know in Kodi when the fcc or isp/webhost finds there is an illegal distribution of movies/tv shows they are now replacing the movie with a rick roll video. So when trying to watch GoT episode it looks legit but then BAM! "You know the rules and so do I..." LOLQuote:

Nope. Not gonna click it. No Sirree Bob.
Out of interest if hypothetically you were in a position to do this, how would you make up the tax shortfall? or would you not make up the shortfall and just provide less services ?Code:I would not advocate for a restructuring, rather a removal.

Never thought of it that way, but....yeah, I guess it is.

That covers all the angles.
My biggest pet peeve... People that don't do what they are supposed to do or what they say they going to do!!!
My biggest pet peeve... visit a site in your browser that has a username and password prompt. Password is filled in so it's remembering me. Username is blank. Click into the username field and only ONE name appears.
Are you kidding me?
This is a bug! Who let that code into production?!?
I've noticed that in FireFox.
How about finding out about it two working days before you are going off the grid for a month?Quote:

Also, when people don't give at least 1 week written notice of going on vacation -_-
Never fails... freight trucking company contracted to deliver a pallet of stuff for me not only took longer than scheduled but lost my pallet! Turned up 3 days later 25 miles away at one of their other shipping hubs. Now I have to get a truck and go pick up tonight in traffic before they close all because of some dumbasses that didn't do their job right or at all! If I wait for it to be redirected it will take another week!
Never done that. I think we actually DO have some policy on written vacation notice. I've seen the papers, and even filled them out one time. Perhaps the whole thing has gone away, cause nobody has cared before or since.Quote:

I’m at the National Libertarian Convention. This has been nuts.
Claims of full stack are easy to see through!
I was meaning notice from you as just 2 days notice before going on your walkabout lolQuote:

Three years later the USPTO has allowed 20 of our patent claims!

That's tight, aren't you building a new type of database?
It's been three years waiting - now that we have our patent, it's back to find investors and make this new DB real. Once I get the actual paper in hand I will share more details - still hard to believe it happened!
Our elevator pitch...
Quote:
Current DB technology feeling the constraints of pre-defined schema reject that schema entirely. DCX has dynamic schema - relationship is data and data is relationship. With our patent pending (now PATENTED!) algorithms we have embraced the benefits of RDBMS - relationships are in the forefront.
Sounds interesting.
By the way, do Post Race posts double post?
Well, that one didn't.
Well, that one didn't
Seems like the answer is no.
I'll add a tag, which I think is one of the causes of double posting.
No, I didn't.Quote:
Did I double post?
I'll try the actual, reply with Quote this time.Quote:

Yeah, the one place where it wouldn't hurt....it doesn't happen.
Why is there a blank in between barrk and parksie in the top posters of this thread. In fact, the number of posts is there but it is not even hyperlinked.
Taking some time with this post. As if I was responding to a question, and taking some time to compose the response.
Added a link for good measure.

p.s. Still no double post...
I've always assumed that was the mystery user who shows up as "Guest" in some of the early replies. Whatever caused the corruption of those posts, they all got the same name, though it likely wasn't all the same person.Quote:

Radio Shack unveils the TRS-80 computer today back in 1977... Never heard of it.
I had one. It had 4K of RAM and a tape drive for extended storage. With 4K, you couldn't do much of anything, and the tape drive kind of sucked. There were a few interesting games even with those limitations.
I guess that is telling...Quote:

The Apple II came out in 1977 as well, along with a plethora of other hobbyist and "personal computers". I bought my first computer, an Ohio Scientific Challeger 1P in 1978. The C1P had a fixed set of images in its character set, like a small tank in 8 rotated positions, an airplane, the Enterprise starship like image (took two characters for each image), etc... So you could create character based games, but couldn't really draw anything as it didn't have pixel, or pixel like, addressable graphics.
After I had that a while I was interested in something you could draw with, so looked at the TRS-80 at a local Radio Shack in the Norfolk, Va area. I also looked at the Apple II in the only computer store (Computer Land) that was in the area (in Virginia Beach). In 1978, personal computers were still a new phenomenon, and there wasn't a lot of options of where you could see them. But, on the other hand, the store didn't mind you playing around with the computers, writing little programs and running them on the machines. So, the TRS-80 had a graphic mode, where the you could draw, but I think it was character based underneath, and they just had a character set that had patterns of blocks to cover the possible combinations of blocks that may be set by drawing through the area. I don't know if that is the case, but the bottom line was, the drawing ability was really coarse.
The Apple II was much better, relatively, as it did have pixel level drawing, but with some restrictions, which I won't get into. So, I ended up getting the Apple II+, which had just came out at the time (probably late 1978 or early 1979). The Apple II+ had the Microsoft based BASIC, called AppleSoft BASIC, in the firmware. The original BASIC, in the Apple II was Integer based, whereas AppleSoft supported floating point math.
The Apple II powered up into a Monitor mode, where you could look at memory, and do different machine level things. You had to hit some key combination or type in a software interrupt I/O command to run the BASIC Interpreter. The Apple II+ powered up in the BASIC Interpreter, which most of the PCs after that era did. The earlier computers powered up into a monitor mode as the first couple of years, the hobbyist computers didn't come with a BASIC built in. You had a minimal computer with a little support built in so you could access the registers and memory and enter machine code and run the code. The original Microsoft BASIC had to loaded into your computer from a paper tape roll, and it cost you $600 to buy BASIC from Microsoft (Micro-Soft at the time) on that paper tape.
My friend and I went into the local Radio Shack and programmed it to put up a banner that said TRS80 SUCKS! What a great memory!
