    Has NASA found (potentially) extraterrestrial life?

    Anti-American jibes here get tiresome.

    Has NASA found (potentially) extraterrestrial life?

    Of course the moon landing was a hoax! Everyone knows the moon is made of green cheese and all they supposedly brought back was rocks.

    Has NASA found (potentially) extraterrestrial life?

    Nope. The New Testament is attributed to those authors. The earliest known manuscript are fragments of John's writings, called the the John Ryland's manuscript, was written circa 125 AD. Most of the known manuscripts of the New Testament date from about the 10th Century. Hardly eye witness...

    Has NASA found (potentially) extraterrestrial life?

    Ummm.... it is mentioned in ONE book so how can you say it was witnessed by many people. If I write here "the moon turned green with yellow stripes last night and it was witnessed by many people." that does not make it a fact. All writings about the origins of Christianity date from the second...

    John Lennon 30th Anniversary

    Wow! That's a game I haven't heard of. How do you play hockey from a pickup truck?

    Can you post the code that is giving you the error?

    It's the Rope Theory. You know the old saying... give a universe (or a deity) enough rope...

    Time Button

    But again a DoubleClick is counter-intuitive in a user interface IMHO.

    Time Button

    I wouldn't do a DoubleClick as that is counter-intuitive for a user (buttons are normally single-click controls). Instead I would code the OnClick event with something like: If tbTimeNow.Value.Length > 0 then [TimeOnScene]=tbTimeNow.Value Else tbTimeNow.Value=Time() [TimeOnScene]=tbTimeNow.Value...

    Has NASA found (potentially) extraterrestrial life?

    Good grief! Did I start this with my mention of the String Theory? I shoulda said "ropes". Yeah, that's what I meant. Ropes! The universe is being pulled apart by ropes. No God needed but if there is one, then I am sure He is helping pull.

    Irish Debt Crisis

    PNGBill, That is about as clear an analysis as I have read concerning the cause of the crisis we are facing. Bravo! Now the question is, how do we fix the mess without making it worse?

    Has NASA found (potentially) extraterrestrial life?

    I don't know. You will have to ask someone well acquainted with String Theory.

    Has NASA found (potentially) extraterrestrial life?

    The universe is expanding because everything is attached to those "strings" I keep hearing about and those strings are pulling everything apart. Yeah, that's the ticket. See how easy that was?

    Has NASA found (potentially) extraterrestrial life?

    I am sorry to say but that is the same attitude that was used against Galileo. I am of the opinion that if God made something, HE has callenged us to use the gifts HE gave us to figure it all out.

    Has NASA found (potentially) extraterrestrial life?

    Well, the balloon analogy is not a very good one. Most (but of course not all) cosmologists now agree that the universe is not a sphere but is "flat" (albeit with a curvature). The objects are moving apart (which is what causes the space between them to grow) much as the ripples on the surface...

    Percentage question

    I'd do this: If (Me.Commission_Amount.Value >= Me.Principal_Amount.Value * 0.03) AND (Me.Principal_Amount.Value > 0) Then Me.txtRedFlag8.Value = "- The Commission of the trade was 3% or greater." Else Me.txtRedFlag8.Value = "" End If

    trying to count bats: log transit times and direction

    I will post some specifics hopefully after this weekend. Just wrapping up a major project here so I don't have time to sit down and think about it for the next couple of days. But basically it would entail a stored procedure that would be invoked by a trigger each time a record is posted to the...

    trying to count bats: log transit times and direction

    Actually, this would be pretty easy if you were using SQL Server or another db that has stored procedures along with triggers. Well, good luck. If you are ever in Dingle, raise a pint for me. I probably will not be back for a few years.

    trying to count bats: log transit times and direction

    Actually, I knew that. But I was describing the sets of data. The data is actually only meaningful if you have a defined couplet (pin 1 state, pin 2 state), organized into sets that describe the action you are measuring. That is what I was doing. So, if my description is correct, what I...
