In the U.S., From what I understand, if you are in a public place, then anyone can film you. It is nice that Google hides their face. But of course you can hide your face for any reason. My wife is photo shy.

So for years you dump money into an insurance company, if you have a claim (health and life insurances work different from the rest). Then the insurance company determines how you actually get for repairs/replacement. Then they can cancel you or raise the rates.

I have a lot of good memories. But the one that stands out right now is when I got to the top of half dome in Yosemite. It was quite a view (it is quite a hike up and back in a day).

My insurance rate has been pretty stable for the last couple of years. I went with the insurance company through Costco (yes you need a Costco membership). Pretty decent rate considering I have to have full coverage. And they do a monthly withdraw from my checking account (small processing...

I think I have used end once. Do not remember why, But definately needed the code to stop for a reason.

Science has proven that cats know their name, but many times choose to ignore that fact.

I went with Micon's solution (with a slight modification). Just to give everyone a little background of the database. First off, I did not create the database itself. I was asked to produce some code to automate (flag) bad tests for dairies. So the dairy milk gets tested for like five...

And I just showed part of the code that I am dealing with.

No kidding as I lose hair trying to come up with an good solution. There is a lot of old data the using the "<1000000", but the new data they are not doing it and since I only look eight months back. I may be able to ignore the "<1000000".

So I have some code that is most of the time a number, but sometimes be a string (i.,e "1000000" or "<1000000"). But I have to compare to a number (i.e, 600000). The values come from an MS-SQL back end. I tried using Format() (i.e, Format(rst!.DMSCC.Value, "#########") ) and compare that to...

The chair I have was provided by my employer, It is steel and mesh. Pretty comfortable, I believe the list price was about $350 (US). The most comfortable chair that I ever had (for work) was an executive chair (high back, leather or fake leather, lots of cushioning). I have no idea how much...

Of course the programming (especially at the OS level) is extremely complicated. There always the chance that an input to a particular routine was not handled correctly. Thus there is a cascading effect of failure due to unexpected values.

I know I should be fasting from time to time. I just have a serious lack of will power. I have tried fasting for a couple of days in the past. I felt like I was constantly hungry. Tried drinking a lot of water and some juices to help, but it never seemed to help. I even tried a cup of plain...

Of course I am in the opinion that un-reproducible errors are caused by gamma rays.

Not a joke,but in talking about getting lost. There is an old bluegrass song called the Arkansas Traveler. I have heard variations of the original lyrics.

Also re-using the same alias name in a sub-query can cause confusion.

I used to be a programmer (still do a little, but not my job title).

It looks like scientists are playing around with statistics again. Of course there is no way (currently) of proving their findings.

Another 2 years and 9 months until retirement (subject to change with little notice). Still fully employed with the local government.

Well things are slowing opening up around here. Not sure how many people are still out of work or on a reduced schedule. Me and my wife are avoiding any places that we can (we still do our shopping, but not going to the malls or sitting in a restaurant).
