A) The HP 3310 is not new B) I've read lots of complaints that says you can't print when a color cartridge is empty.

Yes, it does work in IE8. Thanks. My Younger Son & His "PET"

You missed out on an opportunity use inflation as a pun to refer to both the tires and money. $800 seems quite expensive. "I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours. " — Hunter S. Thompson

:thumbsup: Thats my stance. Doesn't matter where it came from. If you see it correct it. There are only 2 cases I can think of where you should discuss it with the original developer. 0. The code is somewhat confusing, but you "think" you understand it. Maybe it works with other systems etc. and you are not sure of their inner workings. Need to double check with the dev to make sure they simply did not make a bug to get rid of another bugging (knowingly or not). In the discussion you point out the flaw, but do not point it out as "their" flaw but rather the code. Code has its own life. Its a shame when developers take full ownership, because innevitably they will get their feelings hurt as people learn and new patterns arise showing flaws in our old ways. Its the nature of the business. Those that understand that prosper, those that don't tend to shift out of programming. 1. Just received a presentation etc. on how superior the code is to the last version. Essentially they are 'upgrading' the system, but are not seeing why it will not work. In this case you must discuss with them as well because otherwise they will think you are overwritting their 'enhancement' (which is a bug). In this situation, one has to be more careful. They are likely proud of their new method so simply pointing out "You are doing it wrong" will likely backlash. Instead, ask what happens when . They would hopefully realize. If not, write the test case up and hand it to QA. Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

It's CitiBank. Of course it's screwed up. Every month, they send me an email when the bill comes due. Int he email is a link to the account login page. But all I ever get to is a page saying don't fall for phishing exploits. So I have to go into the browser and try to find the login page on my own. No dogs or cats are in the classroom.

I am truly, then, set for a fall, as I'm the arch enemy of smartening up credit cards.* When I get a card with a chip in it, I grab some small-but-trusty tools and crush the sucker. It seems (to me) nutso to have one's card activate a transaction without my intervention (such as transferring my card's info to someone's scanner). So far, I've had not problems with the card. Particularly since, for the last year or so, the number of stores that don't require a signature at all has grown considerably. Those that do require a signature and insist I do so electronically, invariably get me to sign using my one of my pseudonyms: VOID or BOGUS So, if my card came with a button, I'd presume it can be only one thing; the DESTRUCT button. *Smart phones are nauseating enough.

One of the servers had a bad case of ASP.NET indigestion. We use WebForms (yeah, old school) and one of the issues is that web controls and pages get compiled in an order that can sometimes get things mixed up. A page can suddenly become convinced that a webcontrol simply doesn't exist because that control may have been compiled as part of a different page and the wiring gets screwed up. This generally happens at deploy time, but it sorts itself out quickly (or I kick it firmly). Once it's compiled that's it - no more problems. However, for some reason the pages completely forgot who they were wired up to and we had that error happen. No deploy, no recompile, no nothing. Just spontaneous craziness. I'm forcing a full recompile now that will fix it. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP

For Chinese characters I recommend getting the keyboard app Swiftkey X. I love it and it does have ability to do special characters of other languages. Also is seems to read your mind offering up potential words to continue your conversation.

Here is what it says when I look at the "properties" of the drive before I used any space on it: Used Space: 104,071,168 bytes, 99.2 mb Free Space: 7,690,665,984 bytes, 7.12gb Capacity: 7,797,734,152 bytes, 7.25gb It is the 0.75gb of "hidden" overhead that upsets me, I don't care how it was manufactured and what they have to do, don't tell me I am paying for 8gb when it is actually 7.12gb. That's more than 10% less. The sales tax in my state is about 5% and it is printed clearly on the receipt! My Younger Son & His "PET"
