Because QB always maintained the length of a string, I knew that the fastest way to find an unsorted string was to:
A=LEN(SearchString)
FOR I = 1 to NumOfStrings
IF LEN(StringList(I))=A then exit FOR
NEXT
Interesting how that doesn't come up as a potential solution for you in your string performance scenario.
Here is a classic example of changing algorithms vs. optimizing your existing algorithms. Clearly at some time this search may become a bottleneck, perhaps when there are over 10,000 names to scan--I'm thinking phone-book here. Only an algorithm change will save this; so consider sorting the list and binary searching, a binary tree, a hash-table or whatever.
It is up to the developers to find out how many strings there will be in a typical scenario and to profile the program to see where the bottlenecks are hiding.
Why don't they give the ETs for this car? I would love to know how its top speed and 1/4 mile times. I guess that with a 100kW power-plant, or about 140 HP, the practical rating is closer to 50kW, or 70 HP. On second thought, I don't want to know the numbers.
Somehow, the opening paragraph on the "Welcome to the BitDefender-*nix Beta Test Page" page looks familiar:
Das newest BitDefender is jetzt fuer testen, fingergepocken und mittengrabben! Ist easy und fun zu schnappen das springewerke, hangen und corkgepoppen mit spitzensparken, fur Prizes zu grabben! Also Installierenen Sie die Kit, relaxen und watchen die blinkenlights!
You mean "he thinks he has Asperger's....He's never actually had it diagnosed by a doctor, so even though it seems likely that he's indeed suffering from it, it's not actually confirmed.
Are you casting Asperger's on my diagnosis? With apologies to Curly Howard.
...A more interesting line of thought along the haircut lines is this (though it has nothing to do with free speech): could a school kick out a student who gets cancer and loses their hair if they have a particular haircut policy?
How about this:... football player Bobby Martin of Colonel White High in Dayton after the referees barred him from a September game because he was not wearing the required shoes and knee pads. Martin was born without legs and plays on the punt return team....
I think that the state should invite the contractors who wrote the buggy software to a stay at the nearest lockup for a few months. That'll teach them to cut corners in testing their product.
I checked out the Mozilla site -- not a peep about it. I made a post there. I figure this one totally right hooked them. It's a pretty massive crash. Just makes the whole browser lock up. At least I know they'll fix it fast though...I think in 24 hours we'll see a turn around. Anyone try this with version 1.5?
No, but it affects an old copy of Mozilla 1.7 on Linux. However, this is not a critical error and it doesn't require immediate attention. Even Windows doesn't give up the ghost, so it is a minimal-concern problem and can be fixed in due time.
Sorry, but those type of product are bloody useless. The output is too complex when broken down into thousands of functions.
Perhaps the C++ products would be better since a diagram would be acceptable if broken down at the class level but the C portion of the program is useless if broken down at the function level.
Also useless is output which is a simple listing on a printer. The output must be in UML. or something similar, to transmit useful information to the reader.
...but with that combining it with the physics properties of the silicon means we're going to have some disappointment in terms of what we can provide to retail...
Can someone translate this gibberish for me? Is he trying to say there will be a shortage of units or is he trying to say that the computing power will not be as impressive as the hype promises?
Well "Python vs. Alligator" doesn't mean much on Slashdot. How about: "Python vs. Cup of Coffee," "Python vs. Red Gemstone" or "Python vs. Oyster Secretion."
Point B. "[A manager that] Relies on, but disregards your technical advice:" I do not know the subtle points of this situation but it sounds like you stopped working on your tasks and told your manager afterwords that you could fix it over the weekend.
By this time, someone else has been scheduled to fix it and then he finds out that you haven't been working on your tasks and you openly criticize the company's decision.
It seems like you gave "sound technical advice" but "unsolicited advice."
Why wait for the new game when you can play the classic duke3d on Linux, Windows or Mac. Since the source code was released, many moons ago, there have been updates that use your 3d accelerator, your gigs of RAM and your Internet connection for multi-player matches. There is also a slew of third-party maps and levels available. All free, of course.
..My ISP got a letter from the RIAA regarding a pirated movie I'd downloaded...
Are you sure about this? All the letters I have seen complain about a file being made available for downloading--not the actual downloading of the file from someone else.
PR flunky? That's PR mastery! Evade the question, and spew out some nonsense that you hope the person asking the question will believe is true.
AKA PoliticianSpeak. Blah, blah, looking into the matter, blah, forming a committee, blah, following standard procedure, blah, ahead of schedule, blah, blah, under budget, etc.

Good Lord, Lindon. Lindon! That is much too close to London. I think we are left with no choice but to sue.

Secondly, why do they give the car such a crappy look. What is wrong with the sexy convertible two-seater look, like a Miata or Triumph Spitfire? Something like this:

Not ready to sell the '70 GTO yet.

Yes! Bring the file to a print/copy shoppe and ask them to bind and print a few copies. YMMV.

Hmmm.
This seems to be a resource problem; so why don't we outsource the kernel maintenance to a BPO company in India?
I don't think we share the same definition for hilarious. Dvorak's sugestions are lame, lame, lame.
