Thank you. :rose: I installed Thunderbird and it works great!!! I found messages I had lost track of. It allowed me to clean up my accounts on the mail server. :) :) :) I love the local folders for archiving messages, sorted any way I choose! __________________ Lord, grant me the serenity to accept that there are some things I just can’t keep up with, the determination to keep up with the things I must keep up with, and the wisdom to find a good RSS feed from someone who keeps up with what I’d like to, but just don’t have the damn bandwidth to handle right now. © 2009, Rex Hammock “If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?” - John Wooden

Well, we should also note that geo-fencing an amusement park is NOT that expensive. But don't worry, in the end 911 will request "remote access to camera and audio", so they can validate the situation for the safety of the phone owner... And like e911 in the states, they will add a monthly fee that pays for it to be developed, and never goes away, so they can continue...

I started at Interdata and was assigned a first-floor office. Interdata became the Data System Division of Perkin-Elmer and I continued to occupy the same office. Perkin-Elmer spun off the Data System Division to form Concurrent Computer and I continued to occupy that same office. I finally left that office to join another company as it was becoming obvious that Concurrent Computer was not succeeding in the marketplace due to competition from that new-fangled product, the IBM PC :laugh: which put a whole, standalone (no networking, modem or anything else) computer on your desk which, if you had enough rank, came with two 5.25 inch floppy drives and maybe a dot-matrix printer.... __________________ Lord, grant me the serenity to accept that there are some things I just can’t keep up with, the determination to keep up with the things I must keep up with, and the wisdom to find a good RSS feed from someone who keeps up with what I’d like to, but just don’t have the damn bandwidth to handle right now. © 2009, Rex Hammock

I read her book "The Dispossessed" when I was a college student. Right away upon reading the first sentence, it was like a movie just started in my head...her descriptions were soo vivid. And I just could not put it down.

Great Idea!!! Except: Visual Studio shows Intel 80x86 assembly language, not CLR Intermediate language. No symbol table. Just one .exe file. Last compiled in 2001, probably for Win98.

Mark Whybird wrote: Why? I doubt that assertion. If a company wants to deal with an individual as a legal entity, then that legal entity must provide their legal name. If a company wants to deal with a person as a non-legal entity then they must decide if they want to deal with the person or not. If they do then the person must have an identifier that people can deal with. Of course in the context of the discussion one can state that if a person refuses to provide a name, regardless of whether one exists or not, and the company requires it then the company should just not do business with that person. That exceptional case would be so rare and so non-economically impactful the company should just take that option.

The response from the community was interesting, but not particularly heartwarming. I had hoped for a more informed discussion. From the responses, it is my opinion that although many members have heard of the issue, only a few members of the community are really aware of the reality of this issue. :( The good news is that the community was respectful in their responses, keeping within the tone of the Lounge. No "flames" were posted. We are programmers. Most of us are not movers and shakers in the world. To me, many of us appear to show very little interest in the world at large. I was hoping to shake their complacency a little and get them to at least think about the issue and the philosophical implications. As the famous Hungarian mathematician George Polya said: This seems so obvious that it is often not even mentioned, yet students are often stymied in their efforts to solve problems simply because they don’t understand it fully, or even in part. (Polya, George, How To Solve It, 1945) I am very content to leave the practical and political implications of creating solutions to the Soapbox. __________________ Lord, grant me the serenity to accept that there are some things I just can’t keep up with, the determination to keep up with the things I must keep up with, and the wisdom to find a good RSS feed from someone who keeps up with what I’d like to, but just don’t have the damn bandwidth to handle right now. © 2009, Rex Hammock

I worked in a data center similar to the one in the photo. The person sitting at the console had the "easier" job. Continually mounting and dismounting magnetic tapes on the tape drives was a bit more work.

That's why I also talked about risk assessment. The engineers will certify a structure to withstand a certain level of stress (including heat induced expansion and contraction); this is done according to the requirements and specification of the structure. Watched code never compiles.

how can we do that?
