Normally, I am very gifted at designing by the seat of my pants (while coding). For example my graphics library lasted years without a significant breaking change, especially to the design. I added a ton of features in that time. It's a combination of almost 4 decades of coding + some latent ability. But maybe that's why I get frustrated with myself when I miss the mark.

I couldn't find the option to actually disable it in my bios settings. And yeah, I tried advanced mode. It lets me reorder them, and even SMART scan them, but disabling is apparently a league too far.

well $hit. I certainly respect the right for Chris to do his business, I just hope he took care of his cohorts. If he has sold, new company please email me. I'd be interested in helping.

OK, got it. Reminds me of the old IBM Block mode terminals that had a physical map (with all literal fields and color specs, input specs and protection specs) and a data map that was only the fields that returned values. Both were sent to the terminal which would use a forward only processing to paint the screen and enable the unprotected fields. Any action key on the terminal transmitted only the data map to the invoking program. It was up to the program to split the data map back into fields and do any validation and processing of the data. (very efficient use of transmission bandwidth in the old days.) :)

Yup -- every language can be used poorly. "Modern" languages try to make things idiot proof, but that will always fail. Any time anyone makes something idiot proof, someone else makes a better idiot. :laugh:

Very cool! He's done some great stuff, and it looks like he's got some more to do! I totally agree with his committment to learning, as I do that myself. But rather than focusing on the thing I like to do, I diversify. A few years ago, after I retired the first time from the energy industry, I took on a study of gunsmithing at a place called American Gunsmithing Institute and completed the Professional Gunsmith Level 2 program. At the time they had a Master level, too, but it included a bunch of tools that I already have, so I passed. Eight years later they came up with a new level, sans the tools, called the Advanced Master course. It adds a few hundred more hours of training, includes certified Armorer courses for about 85 popular guns, and certification on all Glocks, Model 1911s, AR-style rifles and pistols, as well as expansion packs of 10 - 12 DVDs each, covering about a hundred more firearms than the several hundred I studied the first time around. Good stuff, this always learning something new, and the Internet makes it so much easier to find stuff! I'm also taking an online class in AutoCAD, and taking classes with ESRI to improve my mapping skills using ArcGIS Pro. I bought a pair of GNSS receivers with accessories last year, one Base and one Roaming on a stick, and it would be a shame to let that investment go to waste for lack of knowledge on using all that GIS data! I once interviewed for a job as a programmer at a casino, and their hiring process included sitting around a room full of applicants and telling everyone there what we have done and know how to do. It took a while, and the guy that was supposed to follow me got up and left saying, "I can't compete with that." Nitwit - he was applying for busboy. In the end I declined the offer they gave me because 1) they still thought Visual C was a great product and 2) a lot of the internal apps were written using VB6. I went to work as a Yamaha parts salesman and ended up getting certified as a Yamaha Five Star Service Tech in all product lines. Never leave me alone with a stack of training videos! Will Rogers never met me.

Shouldn't they get sued back for false representation, when it can't take on rain?

Is there someone who questions those questions themselves?
