Hello - I haven't posted in a long time - retired from job - not programming much. But I saw this on FB lately and I like it, and I've run it past some friends. I'm thinking I would love to give this as a test to applicants for a programming job. It's pure logic. Then I remembered my dear...

Long weekend coming up - the rest of my life! ("retiring" on April 14, which is also the day I started at this job 8 years previous, and is also my 65th birthday!). It's been fun, it's been grand, and sometimes it's been quite a bore. I have a lot of things I want to do. Starting by renting an...

The less you know, the higher your salary. “PROOF” Popular sayings: Knowledge is Power (K = P) Time is Money (T = M) Physics: Power = Work/Time (P = W/T) P=W/T P=W/M (since T=M) K=W/M (since K=P) M=W/K (algebra) THEREFORE: As knowledge decreases, money increases. The less you...

I think he's a hero. His courage is admirable, in an extremely tenuous position. I've suddenly developed a profound respect for the man I had heretofore considered a mere clone of Steve Jobs. If you don't know what I'm talking about (highly unlikely, but who knows)...

I've been on the fence regarding Hillary (ugh) and Bernie (good ideas but um...really?). I decided - I'm going with Bernie all the way - and Not just because of his resounding WIN in NH primary yesterday. I'm going with my heart instead of with my head this time. Bernie represents the only hope...

Read the threads. So many strong opinions. No, not opinions - let's call them convictions. They are convictions because those that advance them are certain that they are correct and those who disagree are obviously A) stupid sheep or B) evil liars. Frothy said he has two "otherwise...

Recently I answered a question in this subforum about the Transfer Spreadsheet method. Then, I was trying to help another forum member. Now I'm the one with the problem. Always found this method to be useful but quirky. A function, which has been working for years (with the occasional hiccup)...

This is a remarkably interesting topic and accounts for all sorts of otherwise inexplicable human behavior. It even accounts for certain animal behavior, in cognitive animals like monkeys. It accounts for a great deal of our attitudes that, when you stop to really think about them, you can't...

It was a refreshing change to listen to the Democratic candidates debating. It seemed to me that in comparison to the narrow minded, parochial, and blustering Republicans, who would evade every question and instead spout their vitriol, the Democratic candidates were like adults who were setting...

What do you think? Are we, as a society, better off or worse off than we were when you were a child? I know that as a child, you can't evaluate things like social injustice or wealth inequality - so I know the question is a little skewed. But what is your impression? Here are some of my own...

I woke up at the usual time, the day after I died. Force of habit I guess, but I did have to get into work. I arrived there at around 7:00, just like always, and sat down at my desk. Same old junk on my desk, same old crap on my computer screen. Not knowing what else to do, I just did my usual...

I know there must be other threads about this - please allow me to start this discussion anew, so that I may restrict it to my concerns without poring over other possibly similar threads. I have a fully developed Access db with 2-3 users. This db will be moved to another environment where...

For a few weeks I've missed scads of texts and phone calls on my iPhone. Phone just did not ring. I thought it was my hearing that was going - or that AT&T had a service outage, or well, who knows why but my phone just WOULD NOT RING! Finally googled. You know, if you have a picture of a...

I had harbored a secret hope that at the Republican Candidate's debate last night, the Donald was going to show us his more thoughtful side, his philosophical side, his strategic side, his crafty side, or his Presidential side. I had hoped that because, as many other US Citizens, I am dog-tired...

I have a lot of data in spreadhsheets that looks like this: ProductLine 1: PartNumber 1| Supplier | SupplierPhoneNo | PartWeight | PartMaterial | ... PartNumber 2| Supplier | SupplierPhoneNo | PartWeight | PartMaterial | ... PartNumber 3| Supplier | SupplierPhoneNo | PartWeight | PartMaterial |...

OMG I'm totally hooked on this show. Anybody else? I'm just 4 episodes into Season 3 - so no spoilers please. I'm not a big TV fan - the first show I really got interested in since LA Law (mid 1980s) was Breaking Bad which I loved. My brother kept urging me to get into The Walking Dead - and...

Maybe this should be in the Excel section, but it also has to do with Access so I'm posting it here. When I have a datasheet in Access that has Boolean true/false values it reports them as 1 and 0, respectively. When I copy this data and paste it into Excel, instead of 1 or 0, it converts it to...

There’s a garbage bin in our lunch area at work.It has three compartments. At the top of each compartment is a hole through which you are supposed to pass the garbage. Next to each hole is a brief description of what KIND of garbage to place in each compartment. This is more or less routine...

I have the PS4 and the PS3. Never had an Xbox. The ps console is a very capable platform- no doubt about that. I'm sure the Xbox is also fantastic. But what is missing is innovation- novel games for these fantastic platforms, During the development of computer gaming, the PC was king. There...
