If the force field is created by projectors, how far out from the surface would each field be projected, as this will increase the area needed to be covered by adding d (distance from the surface where the projection originates to where the field is instantiated) to r making the formula A = 4π(r+d)^2 I am thinking that if you were not really concerned with overlapping, you would divide the area needed to be covered by the area of the largest hexagon that would fit into a circle with a 4m diameter. Hexagons come to mind as being the most relevant shape to use for this, because of their obvious relationship to 360 degree coordinate systems.

Almost - whoever has agreed to be payed by the employer, boss, ET. AL., and has agreed to code for such tasks should be responsible for fixing it. If it is a common occurrence, then initiate QA reviews to document the issues and the time spent repairing them. In the long run, if it happens too much, compile the reviews into a proposal for reducing wasted resources, and send it on up the line. If the boss is the last step in the chain of command - well it might be time to renegotiate your contract.

So in a nutshell, about $20 an hour... :laugh:

I find that coming into work with a half-empty bottle of tequila in one hand, and a pump-action shotgun in the other, works wonders in resolving co-worker relations issues. :laugh:

So then the concept of a cache isn't incorporated into cloud ideaology? Do tell.

'This here part is a data funnel'

The trick is to meet with and interview the potential client and let them tell you what it is they they think they want. Be thorough, cover every aspect that the application/task could possibly touch upon. That gives you an idea of what they are trying to do. After you understand that, YOU then proceed to tell them what it is that they really want based on what you know can be done. Base your estimate on that knowlege.

I think that event fires for the container control.

I'm building a custom control inherited from a picturebox control, and I would like it to automatically resize to the dimensions of the container control to which it is added(could be any valid container control) Referencing the Parent of the custom control in its structure definition Public MycustomePicBox() { this.Size=new System.Drawing.Size(this.Parent.Clientrectangle.... } isn't possible because at the time the code executes, the custom control hasn't been added to the container control yet. Is there an event that fires for a Control when it has been added to a container?
