They do this by sucking induction current off your household electricity like your cordless toothbrush. Some of them can recharge from a household outlet as well.
You are thinking about spreadsheets for spreadsheets. This is about using visual basic for applications + excel as a canvas / IDE. It's a container. You can embed containers in a spreadsheet. It doesn't matter what's in the container. I embedded videos in a "spreadsheet" as part of an application for evaluating and tuning automated multilingual closed captioning generation software. Before AJAX et.al. this was a great way to make dynamic applications with cutting edge features; no changes were needed to the core application to work with new video formats as those became prevalent. You might want to embed a sound bite, a graph, an amortizing calculator, another spreadsheet. A picture of a product for use on a packing list.
Thanks for the debug tips. I would be interested in hearing any more ideas, but this has nothing to do with that. It has something to do with having multiple worksheets open. Very first line of the program is something like Worksheets("blah").Cells("c3") = "somestring", this will take 5 seconds to execute. If you close all other worksheets then it takes only 1/100th of second to update. I have a sample project that has nothing but two work sheets that behave like this. Of course if I start a new project everything is fine (1/100th second updates). I can't copy&paste everything to a new worksheet because there are It seems like some kind of namespace problem, it is just so *painfully* slow to run. I guess I could see what messages are flying around the windows at this point with winspy but doubt that would lead me down useful paths. This VB project started on a macintosh and has moved thru many cycles of different office and windows generations. Also this is running on a quad core 6600 with 4gb of ram now under vista, this problem has persisted thru win2k and windows xp.
I don't really see how they're going to take away my copy of windows 2000 and office 2000.
A lot of people bash excel and VB because they don't understand it. I actually consider being able to program real stuff with this thing quite an art form.
I very highly doubt that it's document or that there is anyone at microsoft that actually knows the entire format of excel. I have incredibly inexplicable bugs, such as things that completely crash excel and VB or lock out parts of programs or cause extreme performance problems, like 20 seconds to update a single cell in an excel script. These "features" continue to persist into the latest versions of Office, which means no one has been down to rewrite the murky depths of this stuff since the mid 90's.
OO is so bad compared to VB. As a C++ programmer and OS proponent it hurts to have to say that, but VB is just light years ahead of the competition. Show me an OO script that can embed a video in your spreadsheet.
That's amazingly wrong. First, Yahoo search used-to-be google Search. And when yahoo brought the search in house off of google, the results were damn near identical for months afterwards.
Commands of the grope family search the input files (standard input default) for lines matching a pattern. Some of the lines matching this pattern will be sent to standard output. Others will not. Grope patterns are limited expressions in the style of mumps(1); it uses a compact nondeterministic n-depth multidimensional negative feedback oracle/bag-automata algorithm with mudflaps, foam dice, and dimples. Egrope works only in Europe. Fgrope uses FM to locate strings. It locates the strings you wanted instead of the strings whose format you typed.
1) The teacher was telling the student * not to run an executable that was already installed on the computer *.
Either the machine is locked down or it isn't. Obviously this machine is not at all locked down
2) The teacher told the student to use "IE". Having a student run IE on a networked, non locked-down computer is nearly criminal.
This school has much larger issues. How many parents want the russian mafia knowing every detail of what their little one's are doing online while attending high school at Big Springs Highschool in Pennsylvania?
Geez, doesn't anyone pirate videogames anymore? Music and DVD's are so pointless, why buy something that you can record from the radio or tivo in a few months or rent on netflix? This is all a subtle plot so that slashdotters don't notice that their entire ability to pirate videogames has been usurped by peer - to - peer videogaming aka MMOG. Brilliant!

Dvorak apparently has no idea how much money you can get for the click fraud you can generate with OLPC's.
Why not? The IRS still runs windows 3.1 on theirs.
it's still cool, you're just not late anymore
