    With one spreadsheet open, go to start excel and start excel - then drag and drop the second spreadsheet you need into it.

    And yes, Excel Sucks. Scientific notation done for ISBN's as default? Seriously? If I paste a number in there, it should STAY a number, and not automatically be converted.

  3. Re:Never give a number on Ask Slashdot: Should You Tell Future Employers Your Salary History? · · Score: 1

    No.

    If asked to name a number, state a number you want them to pay with a few grand more added.

    It's an excellent way to leave a position you don't like and is under paying you and scoring a better paycheck.

    Wow.

    So states that have people working have higher income tax refunds?

    How much income tax does the people on welfare pay? States like California, Illinois, New York - can you give me the rate that non employed people pay in Income tax? Cause they OBVIOUSLY do not affect taxes right?

    I hear you, but the twitch and bend was not painful, but significant enough to realize that there was something going on.

    My pop has maculer degeneration, my mom had cataract surgery.

    I program for a living and need my eyes, so 15 seconds of 3d goggles causing a spasm is more than I need to worry about.

  16. Re:Sorry on 3D TV Is Dead (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    In my opinion 3d done right kills the movie because the are shown shrinks and focuses on 3d stuff, so much so that watching Ant-Man in 2d was sub par to the other marvel movies.

    Also, I value my eyes, when my brother handed me the goggles and started a blu-ray 3d movie, I felt the muscles in my eyes twitch and I took them off.

    3D has a place in entertainment - when holography is the medium.

  19. Re:Since they determined autopilot wasn't to blame on Tesla Avoids Recall After Autopilot Crash Death (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    You have to be a licensed driver and carry insurance to drive. Perhaps people with these new "features" should have to take a class and test and get an upgrade on their license (like I did for my Motorcycle). And they (like some states like Michigan do) should require additional insurance so when the driver of the autopilot gets sued, they have enough cash to pay out to the driver that was injured do to their inattention.

    Funny that, I've been a subscriber for many years (since way before the dvd/streaming plan split), and still haven't watched all the content I want to watch. What makes it more difficult is that content I wanted to see (the grand tour) is amazon exclusive, so I now have even more to watch.

    But feel free to call me a statistical anomaly, I think you'd be wrong now, given the huge subscriber based Netflix has enjoyed for years...

    As Long as it remains commercial free, I will subscribe.

    I had this discussion with a friend of mine. They don't "pay per view", they license for a time period for a set amount.

    Watch it once, watch it a thousand times does not matter., they are just paying the exorbitant fee.
