You dost besiege SG1 with disparaging remarks! May Apophis smite thee :P Incidently "The Body Snatchers" was a doco style tv series. Not a fictional drama. [worldspawn]

Oh come on. I like ACDC too, but I dont practive self-delusion. Many many of their songs are mostly variants on the same riff, chorus/verse structure. Usually consisting of a key phrase repeated a lot and with great gusto (ie. Thunderstruck, Dirty Deeds (dont dirt cheap), (we're gonna make a) Jaiiilbreak!) But its all good :-D [worldspawn]

Did anyone see that TV series "The Body Snatchers"? Its about human parasites, worms etc. Apparently some worms (dont remember which one, but it lived in the stomach) drastically reduce or completely remove allergenic reactions to things like pollen. So... better get down to your local hotdog stand and eat a few X| [worldspawn]

...and they're right! [worldspawn]

Re the beastie boys reference. It's Brass Monkey :P [worldspawn]

System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(string path) Keep in mind that the Server object is only available during a request plus its only available for part of that request. It may be preferable to have your database component request, or have a point of entry for the connection string. This will help you to avoid placing dependencies on the System.web.dll in your database components assembly. My own preference is to have a static event on the db component that i set up a handler for in the HttpApplications start event. This event handler returns the connection string to the component.

Likewise, I had to allow some ports to run some services when I first installed it, but havent had a single prompt since. But I love the new secure IE, it's almost as good as firefox now... almost. ;P [worldspawn]

The creative Vivo is a poxy little mp3 player. Also i've seen a sony item on sale at airports thats about the size of a pac of tic tacs. (runs on mem cards) [worldspawn]

Speaking of antique software i've got an old P3 450 that i want to set up to run Syndicate Wars (the best game ever made!!!). Try as I might I just can't seem to satisfy it's archaic demands for memory managers. Sound also seems to be a sore point, anyone know of any guides to getting syndicate wars (and other such games of it's era - wc, wc exp, wc2, wc2 exp, flashback, another world, sam & max, day of the tentacle, monkey island 1&2) going? [worldspawn]

Plus after installing you can go straight to Add/Remove programs and uninstall the J# stuff [worldspawn]

Mostly game developers i'd say marc. [worldspawn]

And we play 2-up! Lots and lots of 2-up. Speaking of 2-up a friend of mine was watching the essendon V collingwood game at the mcg in the new members lounge yesterday. He started playing some 2-up (he just happened to have a kit with him) and some old fuddy duddy mcc member came up and demanded he stop playing or risk losing his membership!! My understanding of the 2-up law is that it's legal everywhere on Anzac day. I would have thought the Rsl and Mcc would have strong ties which makes this guys actions even more surprising. Anyone else have a bad 2-up experience? (other than losing all ur money :)) [worldspawn]

It's called speed, coming to a dodgy street corner near you. [worldspawn]

Actually I was referring to this one : Your entering the vicinity of an area adjacent to a location. The kind of place where there might be a monster, or some kind of weird mirror. These are just examples, it could also be something much better. Prepare to enter... The Scary Door!!! boo!(that's my addition) [worldspawn]

Hi folks, I've been sitting here at work... not working, trying to remember the introduction to "The Scary Door" from the Futurama episode when Bender sells, his body and Nixon becomes a super robot. All I can remember is that it's start like "You are entering an area adjacent to a place..." Can someone help me on this noble quest? [worldspawn]

...of course after clicking on ur link i know realise it is the same article... [worldspawn]

I remember reading a 3 or 4 page article about this in September or Octobers issue of Wired mag. [worldspawn]

Hi all, first i tried using ADO ConnectionClass connection = new ConnectionClass(); CommandClass command = new CommandClass(); RecordsetClass rs = new RecordsetClass(); connection.Open("Provider=msdaipp.dso;Data Source=http://pandora/radar", null, null, -1); command.ActiveConnection = connection; command.CommandText = @"select ""DAV:displayname"" from scope('deep traversal of ""/radar/documents""')"; ArrayList list = new ArrayList(); try{ rs.Open(command, null, ADODB.CursorTypeEnum.adOpenUnspecified, ADODB.LockTypeEnum.adLockUnspecified, -1); while (!rs.EOF){ list.Add(rs.Fields[0].Value); } } catch(Exception e){ throw new Exception(e.Message, e); } but this always fails with a (an ambigous and unhelpful)exception from a sharepoint dll from the rs.Open line. I was thinking their might be some security problem happening.. but theres no way to know. I've run similar code from my machine in a Word macro and it worked fine. Anyone tried this? [worldspawn]
