I should have been more clear when I said "it is your slave" - I meant you have complete control over AR, you can do anything at runtine - including create reports from scratch although that seems masochistic without a gui. I think the key to using an activereport as a template is to create a report wrapping object that can create instances of the reports. You call your report wrapper object with a string (say, report name) and it can create & run & modify your report(s). I liked the ability to package a whole bunch of reports in 1 dll. It was excellent, but I haven't used it for about a year and a half.
From their website (Data Dynamics):
ActiveReports
Full run-time access to objects, data sources and binding and the ability to create the entire report on the fly
You have to redirect your web users to the right page for your browser
OR, in the ASP or component that is using CRPE (Crystal Reports Print Engine) call the apropriate viewer for the browser itself.
Crystal really was/is the cats a$$ (especially for report creation) but v7 would only run 1 report at a time and QUEUED all other requests - really crappy if your database is SLOW - therfore useless for online processing. If each dynamic report takes 5 minutes for querying, and 5 requests come in at the same time, the 5th user is gonna lose 25 minutes waiting and if the user's IE default timeout is 5 minutes (default), you're gonna have cranky users until. CR V8 supposedly did away with that limitation.
Oh, I've also used ActiveReports(VERY NICE!!!!, requires VB, not as easy to use as Crystal but it is your slave) and Actuate (v 3 or something, such a beast to develop a report but the doc's/self training are GRRREAT)
I'm glad I'm not alone in this world - I really enjoyed that option althoughI wish they woulda had more music selections under rock or changed the selection more often. In two years, I had called about 10 separate times (v7 CRPE was a PITA on the web) the rock lineup had changed once.
Hmmm.....when I was 8 I never had $60 to $80 to drop on a game, let alone a violent one. I was more into street hocky & my friends own version of baseball.
"Put simply: Under Canadian law we do kind of. ".... "The EM airwaves are considered to be public/private, in that we all share them, unless it's on my property in which case I let you use them if I want to"
Sounds like a stupid _law_ (wouldn't be the first, won't be the last) - they (EM waves) cannot be grasped & held [for now anyway] and used as property or anything substantial, only disrupted. If what you say is fact, I want you to stop allowing neutrino's through your yard and into mine, they're littering up my space:)
Yeah, The CRTC _has_ a tight grasp on any transmission of EM waves (thanks for the proper term) but that is to keep mass abuse of any signal down, They've given me the right/privilege (big diff) to use my cell, I've paid for it (whatever that counts for) therefore you have no business/right fuX0Ring it up.
IMHO one THE MOST annoying thing on the road are those dinks that can't merge properly (or that won't let you merge). If you merge @ 60 into a 90 zone you deserve all the honks & fingers you get. There are a helluva lot more merge-retarted drivers than cell-wanders.
Hey, "You Can't Do That On Television" was a great show...if you wanna complain, rant about "The Beachcombers" or "Degrassi Junior High" [convulsions & shuddering for the next 10 minutes]..... and please please just toss Tom Green in the ocean with cement shoes...what a waste of sperm. He isn't even funny, just a mental case. He'd look more at home in a straight jacket & muzzle than on the _bigscreen_.
Don't get rid of your cellphone just yet:
Taken from their FAQ:
QUESTION: Will the Iridium handset or pager work inside buildings?
ANSWER: The Iridium system design is predicated upon line-of-sight access to the satellite. Therefore, in-building coverage for handsets is generally not available. The Iridium pager provides a better means of receiving messages in urban locations and can be used inside buildings. In any case, callers who are unable to reach the subscriber on an Iridium handset for any reason will have the option of leaving a message that will be delivered the next time the handset has line-of-site access to the satellite constellation.
OR, get an antena/receiver & link for the top of your vehicle which is so "1st generation cellphonish".
If it hit an opened pack of skittles _floating_ adrift, that would be pretty much it for all aboard (providing skittles don't vaporize with the 20km/s orbiting [fact?]). Some of those old packs of skittles at the movie theater are full of tough l'il bastards.
It's the hospitals that are broke. A Socialist method of payment (fucked if i know how it wouldn't be abused) with PRIVATE hospitals competing for your business would give reason for these lamers to smarten up. A few cases of needless death, needless suffering, and inner-hospital political B.S. would start streaming people to other hospitals. The reason I want a "paid for" plan is so that not only the rich can be helped. Denying someone access to medical attention because they have no money is just plain cruel and inhumane.
Anyway, to get back on topic, what gives someone else the _right_ to screw up my cell service with a jammer? They don't own the airwaves and as I sit here typing in my office I can hear the traffic blast by. Does that give me the _right_ to lay a spike strip in front of my building to stop the noise? hell no. A business owner can do "whatever" the hell they want to their property but that shouldn't trample my basic rights as a human - If I want to carry on a conversation with a little rectangle attached to my head, that's my business and they have no right to intrude or disrupt that conversation. What's wrong with asking people to leave the premises to do their cell phoning? Hell, what's wrong with informing a cell abuser/noise poluter that they are annoying everyone with their noise and to please talk elsewhere?
HOWEVER as has been previously stated by many others, more considerate use of cell phones should be in order. My cell is rarely audible and I try to speak to it as if I were talking to a person beside me and DEFINITELY never in a recorded/live performace (etc...) to disrupt others enjoyment of paid/free event and I also use the handsfree stuff in the car.
Many people get way to picky and upset over a little noise.
But you don't need to be super accurate for a large enough nuke. If the accuracy is still within 1K or so, KABLOOIE!! If it isn't, Joe User won't be finding the way outta his campsite with beer in hand anytime soon.

Also, the last time I checked SCUD's had a hard enough time taking off, never mind hitting something within range;)
Of course, trying to find valid nuke blast radius information on the net that isn't "3D10 + (50% radius for air burst) - (50% damage for air burst)" is quite difficult:) http://www.algonet.se/~ellebell/rules/nukes.html

ha ha!! nice troll....although I have seen better ones condemning 1st person shooters. Isn't the standard response to this:
"What WE REALLY need is LESS Christianity!"
Heh yeah, I had that one. It was a 96 sunfire. They had problems when I went to pick it up so they dropped it off at work for me. Apparently the thermostat was fubar and they were having problems with it on the testdrive before delivery (winter). Then, I got in and it had no lock in the glove box...big whoopeee but it looked out of place not having it.
A few months down the road I get a bunch of no-starts in the morning so my gf and I are both late for work. Thermostat again. It gets "fixed".
Summer comes around, the bitch over heats 15k from civilization and boils g0d knows how much water out of the rad. Thank GM for road side assistance.
It gets "fixed"...oh, thermostat problem again.
[Insert several morning no-starts here]
By now I'm 2 years into the lease, upsidedown as all hell but fuckit. I switched it for a used Honda and the only problems I've had since are having no excuse for being late for work!
Prior to that, I had another 96 sunfre without problems except for the fact that it didn't corner as well as I thought it should have at 70km/h on a corner rated for 30...and I took out the local newspaper's propane shack. I was a lucky bastard that day.
Oh, and I failed to mention the 2 or 3 recall's on the car (stupid trivial stuf...like missing stickers for drivers side airbag....I knew the bitch was there, she wouldn't shutup the whole time I was dating her!! What did I need stickers for?)
I might be able to keep up with those damn javascript pr0n popups.
"Uh...sorry honey, I just hit a bogus link and the browser went wild! No, no I have no idea what goatse.cx stands for. Isn't it some foreign dish? "Uh-oh"?? It's...umm... it's a site for helping guys with stress I think..."
Yeah, we had to do this. I don't know the internals of how we make the mbx file instead of the mbox but it was basically just a code(paramater) change, a recompile and voila! (My colleague did the work for that - info was in the docs) Then I made a shell script to go through all the users & convert their mbox files to mbx which took about half an hour to perfect & quite a while to run (tens of thousands of users). OH, and a compile of the mbxcvt program that came with the UWIMAP utils you mentioned above to do the real conversion work. It was painless.

I'm sick of hearing "we could do this" and nothing coming of it.
During my weekly stroll at Costco, the only thing I ever see increasing in size are the drives offered by Maxtor. in the span of about 1.5 months, it seems like they went from 30GB, to 40GB to 60GB to 80GB.
It's an interesting factual book (a boring read) but it draws some thoughtfulparallels & links to the past. I wouldn't take it all at face value (I don't know enuff about the history) but you may have more knowledge.
