If the contrast between the screen and the environment is too large, my eyes are strained. I definitely prefer working in a lit, not dimmed environment. In the dark season, the energy spent contributes to the (required, in this part of the world) heating. While you certainly can get more heat per watt using a heat pump, the energy certainly isn't completely wasted. With today's LED or high output fluorescent tubes, you can lit your entire cubicle for the same amount of power as the incandescent bulb in your old desk lamp. (And if you just replaced it with a LED model: The manufacture of the new lamp probably cost more energy than it will consume in its entire lifetime. Maybe even more than the energy it will save!)

Kids these days are just too serious, eh? cheers Chris Maunder

Just try a WAMP then, much better :-\

Minimum hardware config, 96GB of ram over 3 boxes. Yeah, I'm going to get right on learning that in my free time. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

Mr Wizard did this couple of decades ago. [Can You Send Sound On A Light Beam? (Mr. Wizard) - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj\_wdMU-b04) Granted with sound, but the principal is the same. Out of all the things I could remember, like where my keys are this is what my brain finds useful.. :) Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

"[D]umb as a stump," may be apropos, but it was easier than trying to remember all the arcane keystrokes, then losing the file by quiting without having saved it. I have always maintained that vi was someone's revenge on the world.

Just in time - I emailed the link to all my children (&etc.). It'll be a great way to keep dogs from doing their business in front of my house . . . and their worthless owners who walk them on other people's property.

That's a good point. The "An error has occurred" message might be there, but still in white text. I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Nika left a dead mouse in my bedroom not long ago. After three days the stench was so horrible I decided to just clean out my entire room, that's when I found it... X| She also woke me up in the middle of the night because there was a butterfly. She was sitting triumphantly next to it and then when I looked at it she stopped meowing and decided it was time to catch it. As soon as she reached for the butterfly it flew up right in Nika's face. Hilarity ensued :laugh: Really, you've got to love cats. They're little live bundles of joy :D Read my (free) ebook Object-Oriented Programming in C# Succinctly.

Use joins, not a where condition SELECT ED.EmployeeId, ED.FirstName, ED.SurName, GROUP_CONCAT(EC.Contact) FROM EmployeeDetails ED INNER JOIN EmployeeSex ES on ED.SexId = ES.SexId LEFT JOIN EmployeeContacts EC on ED.EmployeeId = EC.EmployeeId WHERE ED.EmployeeId = 'emp_password'; If there are instance where an employee does not have an assigned sex, change the INNER JOIN to a LEFT JOIN ========================================================= I'm an optoholic - my glass is always half full of vodka. =========================================================

This is a question for Google: there are many papers, tutorials and samples to be found.

Ah ha! In that case I'll go kicking :laugh:

That might be true :( I was guided by Griff's post from the thread below where he mentioned that ServerSuit is located in the US while he states in his profile to be from the Ukraine.
