even tough RPG is ill-reputed as an old static programming language this looks somehow like any other high level language and anyone should understand what's going on here without trying to figure out what that strange INSPECT does
Back in the late 80's early 90's, I was a co-op for IBM. I wrote an RPG program to rearrange some data file. Because of scope, the program had to be reviewed by a senior programmer. "This is just a start. Where is the rest of it. Do you need help?" "No. It is complete. Sample input and output files right next to it. I used the cycle" "The cycle still works?!"
I had learned RPG II in HS. The cycle is all that was needed. He showed that program to every programmer that walked into his office.
People have similar setups for the Commodore 64. I had one hooked up until the end of summer.
Haven't done that yet but have copied a C64 program by putting a desk top audio cassette recorder in front of a stero speaker, hitting 3 buttons at once and running.:^)
: TV shows just how desperate marketeers are to prove they matter, the program you are watching interrupted by ads, for the program you were trying to watch followed by overlays of the next program, so please stay tuned... I would if you didn't ruin the program with all this begging.
A few weeks ago the network had an ad half way through House that you could watch the pilot of some other show "Right Now" on their web page. It repeated "right now". I had to pause the TiVo to laugh about it with my wife. Of course with TiVo I could do it with out missing anything but encouraging someone to leave the show they are on if funny.
And yet if you had no pause button and needed to take a longer bathroom break you'd be SOL. So trying the "pause" button, and you can stop far a break for however long you need.
I like breaks where natural breaks happen. Sure, if the phone rings or someone is at the door I stop where I am. But otherwise I will take breaks at a commercial.
I have been known to hit the slow button at the beginning of a break to leave the room. That way I have much longer than the break and I am not burning anything into my screen. A few times I have gotten into a conversation and it has even gone into the show. But not so far that a few presses of the 8 seconds back button on my Tivo won't set me up.
I can see the lawsuits with "I should have gotten the 40 byte no address, instead of the your 1 meg ad fest. Why are you taking my internet away due to your invisible cap."
Regardless of if you are in a math heavy career or not, you aren't going to waste your time doing it by hand, you'll use a calculator which is faster and more accurate.
Well, strictly not if that calculator gives you decimals instead of a remainder besides the whole number and that number has to be carried over elsewhere.
Or you need a better calculator or learn to better use the one you have. Even the MS Calculator has an Int function and a memory.
Also, your email address increases in value when being sold inbetween spammers. Effectively, you make the A-list among spammers.
More like B-list. A-list is for those saps who actually buy the stuff. I've helped someone whose mother fell for a "charity" that ended up with more spam that I thought an individual could get. It even got to be a hassle dealing with tons of snail mail.
I am in Mobile as well. Our driveway is nearly solid orange due to crushed acorns. My parents in Montgomery have the same problem. So it is definitely a regional phenomenon.
For a small one look for a violet wand, an old quack medical device that is a mini handheld tesla coil. They are still being made for "sensation enthusiasts" so most sites that sell them are very NSFW. Prices are all over the place, but can be cheap at rummage sales and flea markets. The older/cheaper ones had a wax core and would overheat with extended use the newer designs can run for very long times.
For building: look up plans and scrounge. Or go the route we went through and get your company to sponsor you for the fall festival haunted house.
For a short while we had a rotating on call pager as well as our personal work pager. We changed companies on the personal ones while I had the on call. So I had 3 for a week of the overlap. Since I kept my pager on a silver chain leash (they leash me I leash it) I would just clip the other(s) to the chain.
I pulled the whole lot out to check the time at a SCA meeting and got a lot of questions about my collection. I told them I was taking donations, and ended up with 9 on the chain for the rest of the meeting. Wish I got a photo. None got a page while I had them.
So you are saying there's no recourse? Why don't you just kill them then, because that would save a lot of resources and time instead of keeping "dangerous" people indefinitely.
Actually it is cheaper to keep someone in prison for life than to deal with all of the extra appeals for an execution. That is for the current crop of murderers. These cases would bring even more scrutiny.
I have had a similar problem. We had a numbering scheme all worked out with much discussion back and forth to clarify with examples of how it will be used. All of the managers agreed. When it was nearly implemented a BA thought it was too complex (major.minor with an optional letter for patches, pretty standard if you ask me) so we now have a major release 10 or 11 times a year.
How does the new 48.0 version work? Naw, lets wait 6 weeks for 50.0 to come out.
As someone else said they are "fly by wire" not "fly by wireless" and a blue tooth mouse will NOT interfere with GPS signals.
I use a GPS receiver that is coupled with a Pocket PC via Blue Tooth every day. That is a good indicator that there isn't much chance of those signals interfering with each other.
This has been hashed over before, and the general answer is "too big, too heavy". Not only would the logistics of moving 500lbs of batteries around be obscene, but so would be the massive redesign necessary to the vehicles themselves in order to accommodate easy removal. Have you seen how they put the batteries in electric vehicles? They cram them into the most inconvenient places. And relocating them all to (say) the trunk isn't the answer, as the major problem with battery placement is keeping the vehicle weight distribution low and centered. No, battery swapping schemes are completely unworkable with present battery technology (size & weight vs energy density), and the advances necessary to make it workable would also make it completely unnecessary.
If the newer technology gets the capacity and price down but doesn't fix the quick charge there is a spot for swappable batteries in the plan. There are already robot fuelers that can fill a car with gas automatically. A smart battery, with state of charge on board, could be auto loaded in standard locations, like under the rear seats or in a tunnel behind the seats. We are not talking about having this ready immediately; but no one who is sane is promoting that time table for anything else either.
I once walked into my office to hear my disk chattering so fast I thought I caught it crashing. It turned out to be some script kiddie trying to hack my system from outside Comcast's network. The disk activity was my hardware firewall logging all of the attacks. It was sporadic but intense over several days. I changed my IP a couple of times and had several useless calls to Comcast support. I finally got someone who understood the problem and asked me to send him the log. I asked how many Gigs he wanted? He couldn't believe how fast it was coming in.
*I* couldn't believe that they would pass that volume of easy to spot attacks to their whole subnet. If my cheap SMC router could spot it their commercial ones should have been able to. I wonder how many people in my neighborhood would have gone over a 250 limit with their PC turned off that week?
One place I worked at several people were talking about how they would notify everyone if we won the lottery, inherited a fortune, etc. One guy's was "when you page me you will hear my lap drawer buzzing."
Later we got tired of the "hit by a bus" and started using "won the lottery."
I actively used Windows ME and was pleased with the results. There were six of us who had just the right combination of hardware, black candles, and chickens. We loved it. A lot.
I didn't have candles or chickens... (Whatever you do in the privacy...) I kept a ME installation running until the death of the hardware several years into the XP era. There were quirks but nothing insurmountable.
According to the Untied States Supreme Court in Doe v. United States, 487 U.S. 201 (1988), a defendant's right to remain silent means that a defendant cannot be compelled to provide a combination to a safe, even though he could be compelled to turn over a copy of a key to a lock box. I wonder if the court in California will follow this or will he be compelled to divulge the password.
Slight difference here is that the password is a work product not owned by him. It is not the combination of his own safe, or his own password to his system. Don't know if it will play out that way.
Well, he's on 150K+ and he's pissing around laying booby traps for his employer.
I don't get why everyone is so concerned with his salary. He accepted the job for it; how should it change the ethics of what he did? No one is alleging that they did something like halving his salary or holding something he holds dear hostage. The ethics should be the same for a minimum wage worker and the highest paid executive.

The deal it that it all keeps working.
I do not see this relationship ending amicably.
Would you prefer Disney + Ron Jeremy?
Would be good to have a an equivalent of http://www.geomac.gov/index.shtml

It might use slightly more bandwidth

Well, strictly not if that calculator gives you decimals instead of a remainder besides the whole number and that number has to be carried over elsewhere.
Or you need a better calculator or learn to better use the one you have. Even the MS Calculator has an Int function and a memory.
big/little = big / little MS = - Int = * MR =
The superior RPN is left to others.

Or how about a doctor who needs to be accessible immediately
Or the person on the transplant list that has to wait for years. It isn't just people on call.

Replacing 'steel' with 'balsa wood' doesn't mean the structure can hold up the same weight. i.e. polar bears.
Correct! Balsa wood *is* more buoyant than steel. That is what you were trying to say right. ~

That's right - the US penal system killed that little girl and her mother.
They do have some responsibility as they let him escape. But that is as far as I would put it.
