    Well Doc, I just wish I'd known their correct names because I've been searching around for years to buy one of each. However, the optical polarized luminosity attenuation shield fortunately is available on Amazon:cool:

    Today's Environmentalists Are Really Luddites

    Here in the UK we have a government hellbent on bankrupting us for an unplanned and un-costed dream of NetZero. Now we are proceeding with huge windfarms and agreeing to buy more electricity from Europe basically because we shortly will be unable to provide enough electricity ourselves. No...

    Politicians do it all the time. One claimed for years they were a qualified solicitor and only stopped when he was threated with prosecution. Our illustrious Chancellor Rachel Joicey (nee Reeves) made wild and exaggerated claims on working at the Bank of England and Halifax Bank. Once claimed...

    You appear to have posted around three hours after isladogs helpfully provided you with a solution. Maybe you really need to spend some time understanding those two examples which are using Access database files.?

    Medical

    I am pleased to hear of your successful operation. My son in law had the test for bowel cancer and it was totally clear. Then within three months he was admitted and had half of his bowel and half of his stomach removed. The operation was concluded by preparing him for a reversal and that has...

    This can be a can of worms if it gets too complex. How do you know user1 has signed out, or that user2 isn't using user4's login? What happens if a user switches off the PC without logging out? If this ends up on a network, which is probable, this becomes quite intense. Particularly if you have...

    Medical

    At the end of the day medical treatment is a scarce resource that is sustained by fear of falling ill. In the UK treatment is regarded as a right but the people running it in their grandiose ivory towers, consistently getting their ability mixed up with their ambition. The NHS is a huge...

    Chinese spying on British

    I thought politics was verboten but it does look like a mistake to fully approve it this week. However, I presume the cars and holidays have all been paid for and accepted by now.

    Is AI Increasing Costs?

    Same with finance, insurance and advice which most people don't realise. As soon as someone else is involved they will want paying. The more there are, then more will want to be paid.

    Is AI Increasing Costs?

    Not sure those are reasons not to build on the coast. Ships cope well with corrosion, as do oil rigs, oil refineries and chemical plants etc. Plus, aren't most nuclear plants are built on the coast anyway. So a few hundred datacentres shouldn't be a problem. I can understand that the toffs say...

    What's your best/worst joke?

    A guy came home after celebrating the New Year to a note on the fridge door from his wife which said : "this is not working any more and I have gone to my sister's" He'd no idea what she was going on about, because when he checked the fridge it was fine with everything including a few beers...

    Is AI Increasing Costs?

    So why not build them on the coast and cool with sea water? Also a preferred location for nuclear power plants, which the datacentres could/should provide themselves. After all the 19th century mill owners didn't rely on the state to provide their factory power. They provided their own and...

    Access 2024

    As I understand it when I buy a license and the online Access install from one of these companies it is a one-off fee. One company I have used has had the same name and email for ten years that I know about. So do presume they are legal copies. 1. If I install by mistake as 64bit instead of...

    Is AI Increasing Costs?

    As the article states: In New Jersey, which is home to the largest concentration of data centres in the world, electricity prices have risen by 34% in the last year That to me indicates governmental adjustments, or taxes on electricity charges specifically in New Jersey. In the UK it is...

    Is AI Increasing Costs?

    If as it says, tax payers are funding new power sources and distributing costs, then we are suffering cost in providing funding support to the AI companies in order to assist them in further regulating our lives. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/12/26/why-ai-is-driving-up-your-bills/

    What's your best/worst joke?

    I thought the joke on EV drivers was that they cannot be towed, or pushed out of the way when they breakdown.

    Today's Environmentalists Are Really Luddites

    The NetZero fanatics and green anarchists never mention the internet, or their phones when it comes to pollution and global warming. The cost and power required for a windfarm in concrete, steel, manufacture, erection and maintenance is so high that it will take around 20 years to break even...

    Have you ever been pressured into building something with a bad design?

    Where there is cash there is a theft. Systems for waste management and others dealing with the building trade with cash payments are an example. I know of companies who delete all cash transactions after invoicing with thousands of tickets removed. The tax authorities never check up mainly...
