I'm going for a stroll. You'll have to handle your own puns for a few weeks.

Have Iran attack Saudi Arabia. A $2 price jump would be mild.

If it is primarily driven by the market, and secondarily by refineries, then a $2 jump would be rare. Refinery changes tend to be a...

I'm not thrilled with the DTP, either, though it has some really nice features if you are reaching back in time. I haven't seen anything I like better, though. Dates are difficult.

I didn't watch the video, but if it says that a solar powered car is impractical...yeah, of course. Cheap solar doesn't have the power per square unit output, and the solar that might do so is WAY...

Here's a Bureau of Labor Statistics graph on workforce participation:

It pretty much says what Dil...

First off, if you use a DateTimePicker, then whatever it holds will always be a date (unless you set it to hold just time).

Second, the initial error usually happens when you are debugging the...

I have both. There's an advantage to each.


That depends largely on the system. I have a fair variety of options, though a whole lot fewer since spring. Prior to that, I had two different pools...

The oil companies, and associated intermediaries, are the ones making all the money. However, I feel that the rise in gas prices was due to two factors: Refinery capacity...and the market. I don't...

Yeah, that's how I see it. I'm not so sure which direction gas prices will go, but the rest of it looks kind of inevitable.

One thing is that there are a few parts of the country where the...

I don't think their greed is any different from any other for profit company. What is different about oil is that there is so much market speculation around it. You don't see people selling Excel...

That's something natural gas comes out of, not goes into.

I live in an all electric house, so I don't directly see the price of natural gas. I'm sure I see it indirectly, but not directly.

Yeah, the biggest is battery technology. If that doubled, it would change everything.

I wouldn't be amazed, but I do know the price of milk and I don't know the price of water, so I went with milk. One of the things about the price manipulation around milk is that the prices are...

TS is used in a place where VB.NET is not used: Web pages. Therefore, some things will convert well, other things won't convert well at all.

When I was but a wee lad, we had a shower curtain that was a map of the world. My sister might still have that shower curtain around somewhere. The outlines of the continents are the same (wrong, of...

No, that was it.


Understandable. It's not just the market, either. You might say it's shareholder opinion. In any case, to keep oil and gas cheap, we have to keep expanding exploration,...

It's just a bread stick...up.

That isn't what history shows, though Putin wasn't around then. When missiles were moved into Poland, the USSR didn't attack, they negotiated the intermediate ban (whatever that was called), and...

In any case, there are easier ways to pinch a loaf.

Criminals won't be much different. That crime there isn't even half-baked. A bread truck won't be carrying dough. They'd have a lot of bread, perhaps (with the outer parts saved for their better...

That was kind of the point. There was no message. As Mary Anne said in the video, it was just timeless silliness.

I didn't realize, but Ginger is still alive. She's the only one left of the main cast members. There might be other guest stars sill around. Funny how so many people got to that island and never said...

Better if it were a body part, but awesome nonetheless.

That's awesome.

Neither one. What EVER changes? The bulk of our economy is based on us buying stuff. We buy stuff based on our situation, our outlook, and so on. The sum of all our actions is the primary driver of...

The triangle and vector classes could be converted easily enough, but that middle block may not have any true conversion. That's about rendering to a screen in a web page. You wouldn't be using...

One thing about US gas prices: They always rise to Memorial Day, then moderate somewhat over the summer into the winter.

In this case, the rise wasn't in a year, it was since February. Take a look...

The US federal gas tax is trivial, so suspending it wouldn't make enough difference to matter.

However, costs of various inputs are rising. It takes fuel (not necessarily, or primarily, gas, but...

I would say that Russia would never have attacked, either. I think Putin wanted an easy victory, not a lengthy war. He appears to attack those who he thinks he can beat easily, not those who are of...

Or, you might say that opposition to spending so much money on them is rising, but it's rising from a very low base. The latest polls suggest that opposition hasn't quite doubled, but from 7% up to...

I believe it still gets played as reruns. I remember it from when I was a kid, but it went off the air before I was born.

I thought everybody had missed that quip.

What history have you been living in? Not this one, but which one? Ukraine has had plenty of problems, but it has been moving in a better direction after kicking out the last corrupt regime. They...

While any piece of that could be considered true, it also presupposes that Ukraine would happily be subsumed into Russia, or submit to having a Russian puppet government similar to the one they threw...

Also, if you do want to be updating that date/time, whether with a timer or by some other means, then it shouldn't be in a textbox, it should be in a label. The user expects to be able to change...

I don't understand what you are doing well enough, but you could do this as a start:

1) Create a datatable at form scope, which will hold the information from ShowTable.

2) Rewrite...

You put it in the textchanged event handler. What did you expect to happen? That event is only raised when the text in the textbox changes. Type a character into the textbox, and you'll see your...

That's not a great way to deal with a connection, but it also won't take any time.

What would be better would be to get rid of that function and make use of a Using block:


Using con As New...

Poorly.

I would assume that it was essentially a typewriter with a reduced set of keys (you need far fewer) and no moving carriage (the paper was one character wide, essentially, so each key...

Once you add in the average age of this site, it gets a little darker. When I started on this forum, I think I was at, or just a bit above, the median age of the members. I may still be.
