There is an element of plagiarism in most music but I think less so in copying riffs, melody, or words. It surely comes in style, or as some like to call it genres. From the 60s there was an explosion of different musicians, all copying what they heard on records from the USA. They heard it and...

I see in the press at weekend that McCartney and Elton John are kicking off about copyright. Their copyright in particular. Mainly because they think, correctly I guess, that AI will use their output to create new music. But I cannot see that they can stop this from happening. Just as they...

My suggestion is only use integer calculations that are stored in your tables. (by integer in Access I refer to Longs) Do the calcs, multiply by 100, store the integer. If you want to round then add a rounding before you change it to an integer. When you add up integers you can only ever get...

When looking around, maybe make sure there isn't a DuPont, or a 3M factory anywhere near?

I have an original CD of Visual FoxPro 9.0 Professional which has been sat on the shelf for years. It says it is an upgrade but as I recall it installed Ok back in the day.

Maybe the same as Britain Pat. Illegals are whatever suits their purpose at any given time. Only the other week we had a rapist that was to be deported back to Jamaka. So he claimed he was bisexual and if sent home, would be attacked by gangs. No proof was needed on his part, even though no...

It appears today that only new news is acceptable. This started weeks ago so is ignored by the media. From a casual reference to fill in on a no news day, I saw a couple of days ago that fires in some places were either still burning, or just started. No idea which as they hadn't bothered to...

Found it with a combination Of Doc's and tvanstiphout's suggetions. I have a variable mFIOerr which I adjusted through the code. So I added one after every line of code. Initially the FIO error was 0, then it went to 5 and finally 18. Then running it with the R suffix it was located it with...

Not to my knowledge, they are usually referred to as a half timbered building. Newer houses aren't, just a decorative effect. But I do tend to agree with Uncle, as it does have the look of those you see in France.

Just wondering if anyone knows more detail on Error 2046. Its official explanation is: 2046 : The command or action '|1' isn't available now.@* You may be in a read-only database, or an unconverted database from an earlier version of Microsoft Access. I have a program developed in Access2019...

Have to say Doc, if it was 1st April I wouldn't believe this photo was taken in New Orleans. Particularly as it appears to be of a half timbered building in an English village. I imagined New Orleaner people to be either trumpet and trombone players happily wandering the streets entertaining...

I fail to understand how apple pie is considered exclusively American. Looking at the acclaimed Cotswold History of the Best English Speaking Peoples. It is clear that they were popular as far back as Tudor times in England. In fact it confirms that in addition to a couple of swans and a...

DJT's speech sounded promising. Interesting times ahead. Real pity that we are held back by Starmer and his cronies at this time.

Two civilians for every member of the armed forces. On top of the civil servants sat at home back in the UK! Are they all really necessary?

Biden looks like he's had another facelift as he has certainly changed from a year or two ago. Haven't his little piggy eyes have gone narrower looking? If he carries on like this his ears will end up at the back of his head. They crown Donald today don't they?

I understood there were 13+ bases, 3,500 troops and 7,000 civilians involved. But stand corrected.

There were two snowmen chatting to pass the time and one said to the other "Hey, can you smell carrots?" I'm surprised you get snow in New Orleans. I've had the impression that it was always hot as you look as far south as Florida and Texas. In England we aren't keen on snow, so we want more...

As I understand it Britain still has bases in Cyprus and maybe a few thousand soldiers but what the devil they do I've no idea. Sit about getting a tan presumably. Turkey still refuses to recognise the Armenian genocide after more than 100 years.

Can you believe this? Claims for £69,000-a-year disability benefits scheme surge https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/01/20/sickfluencers-surge-mental-health-claims-benefits-scheme/ Then we have No Brainer Raynor with her Employment Bill. What is wrong with zero hour contracts anyway? I...

Churchill said and did a lot of stupid things. Insisted on keeping the Gold Standard and crashed the UK economy for ten years. He dreamt up the stupid idea of Gallipoli without the faintest idea about he enemy position, or strength. He looked a a map and thought he'd do a pincer movement to end...
