In the united states he can request his entire employee file and they *have* to give it to him. If this is outside the U.S. then you need to ask someone who knows the human resource laws and policies of the country/state/province in question. References are actually not appropriate in any context and the fact a company is asking for references besides personal references shows they are way behind the times and may be creating a liability of their own. I just checked your profile and you are in the U.S. so I know the laws on this are very clear. He has a right to his entire employee file at any time he can request it. If he gets the run around he can get help very easily from well known agencies in the state in which he works. If his company screws with him at all he owns them and a good attorney will settle the matter with a letter. He just needs to work with Human Resources and it should be a painless process.

The guy on my left started to go (he had the green left arrow) and I, not even paying attention to the light, went also! What a moron. First off, I never go just because the other drivers go--all too often I've seen someone blowing through a red light, almost crushing some eager beaver who guns it when the light turns green without checking that no one is entering into the intersection. It was just plain stupidity on my part. Occasionally, stupid things happen. That's why they're called "accidents" rather than "planned collisions". Frankly, any accident would have been pretty low impact, I would imagine. I don't think it merits the emotion of "horror". And certainly beeping your horn would have been the WRONG thing to do. The guy would have looked in his mirror, not straight ahead, and probably missed the fact that he was heading into another car! Marc MyXaml Advanced Unit Testing YAPO

Homesite/Dreamweaver has that built in. Some other html editors might have it as well. There are some HTML parser projects on CP that should be able to extract the text from the html.

Another example. NAnt also documents their XML format, but it isn't as good as the .config file format. However their xml format is close to a direct representation of their object model. They just use the documentation generated by their objects and note some cases that are different. They also provide a tool that generates the XSD from their object model so if you make changes to the code or add tasks you can generate a custom XSD which is nice.

DIY wiring isn't hard, but it's easy to run astray of the code if you're not used to it. A few things to watch out for include: too many wires in a junction box; too many wires in a conduit (you're allowed 20% fill); inadequate support of wire runs (must be supported at 4-1/2' intervals); improper distribution of branch circuits (lighting fixtures included on branches for fixed kitchen appliances, etc). Buy a copy of the code, or a book on basic residential wiring, and save yourself a lot of headaches. It's fun, and perfectly acceptable to roll your own.:-D "If it's Snowbird season, why can't we shoot them?" - Overheard in a bar in Bullhead City

SP3 is likely to be a very long way from here, and I don't think you'll want to miss out. To fix the slowness, defrag your hard disk. After that it should be quicker. If not, you may just be unlucky. Some system binaries are a bit bigger so more memory or a faster hard disk will help. For the wireless card, you could try going to the connection's Advanced tab and uncheck the option to have Windows manage your connection settings. You should then get the manufacturer's configuration UI instead (I think!) I also have a LinkSys 54G card based on a Broadcom chipset, but that's at home, not here at work. Stability.

It depends what you want to do and where the damage is. If it is a plastic bumber that has the ding then you are pretty much stuffed. If it is steel read on Filling is easy, painting is murder If its not very big you can probably get away with using a two part automotive putty (aka car bog). This stuff is great because it dries as hard as a rock and is easy to work with after. Your main problem will be getting it to stick. You need to sand back to the bare metal and really rough it up with 50 grit sandpaper or something similar. Then I would drill some holes in the dent so that the filler has something to hold on to. Another option is to cut the dent out and weld a new peice of steel to the back of the panel. Then use filler to blend it all it. But you will need pretty serious equipment to cut the panel and weld in a patch. I have done this a few times with small rush patches and it works ok. I just spray some rust proof primer on afterwards and leave it at that. Painting is a whole different story. Most cars are painted with a 2part epoxy paint. This stuff is lethal to breath and must be mixed as you need it as it doesnt last long. The advantage of this paint is that after you bake it in an oven it gets super hard which then allows you to use polish to get that showroom shine. If you try and polish normal paint you will rub right through it very quickly. Also matching the colour of a warn paint job is a realt art. You need to compare your colours under different lighting conditions. So if you just want something to do and your happy to have a patchwork of differnt primers on your car then go for it. If its an old car with a few dings then why bother? It all adds to the character

Even with the twin study, I see plenty of problems coming to the conclusion that the link is casual. Here's a few more possibilities: - Married men (and men with children which is correlated) feel a need to earn more money to support their families and are, therefore, more interested in earning more and climbing the corporate ladder. - Married men spend more time at work (perhaps to avoid the wife and family). And, of course, income is not the full story here. Even if married men EARN 19% more income, that doesn't mean they HAVE 19% more income to spend. My guess is that single men have much more disposable income than married men, even in spite of married men's greater income. ----------------------------------------------------- Bush To Iraqi Militants: 'Please Stop Bringing It On' - The Onion "Moore's prominent presence in the news brings to light some serious questions, such as 'Can't he at least try to look presentable?'" - The Onion

I am right-handed, yet my steering arm is left, probably from years of shifting with the right. I can drive with just the left for much longer than just the right arm.
