    SSRS / Visual Studio help

    Good point, but unfortunately the account number has to be entered in manually by the user, it's not linked to them in any way, and at times they will have multiple account numbers to enter. It's like this: to generate the proper data they will need some parameters to be passed through from...

    Camera advice...

    Look, of COURSE I'd prefer a DSLR, but I simply cannot afford one. So, for a decent point and shoot... OLYMPUS SP-800UZ 14 MP 30x optical zoom, 5x digital zoom 4288 x 3216 max resolution 2gb internal memory $299 at NewEgg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16830111378 The...

    Windows 7 Pro - All links broken

    This is a fun one. Every single link in my Start Menu, desktop and task bar has become the link to the same program. I am quite sure it's not the application itself (Paint.net), something happened that made all my links point to the same program. If I right click/Properties any of the links...

    Women and Children First

    Not entirely. Yes, that's what sex is for, but evolution caused society to form in order to increase the chances for babies to reach maturity. Human brains started getting larger earlier which meant their heads were getting larger, which meant babies had to be born earlier so the head could...

    gdamn some people are so smart: pack a gun when you check your luggage.

    Hell yeah! Also Futurama did a great spoof on that and a few other classic Twilight Zone moments. The Reader: Finally! Solitude! I can read books for all eternity! [glasses fall off and break] The Reader: It's not fair! IT'S NOT... Oh, well, my eyes aren't that bad. I can still read the...

    Women and Children First

    All joking aside, all society exists to serve the purpose of perpetuating the species, so yes, as a general ideal, women and children first. As a more specific plan, people are selfish and will almost always put their needs above those of others. Also, props on the Heinlein.

    Meet the Mini-Palins

    I have a problem with any politician who thinks he or she knows what's best for me. I have a problem with a lot of people. Specifically though, as mentioned above, I hate the buzzwords that too many organizations go out of their way to cram down our throats. Everyone is pro-choice and...

    I don't pack a gun so I can lock my luggage, I pack a gun in case there is a monster on the wing of the plane trying to make it crash.

    For those who are against Universal Heath care. Why are you not for charging for other services?

    Honestly dain that's bad logic, neither you or I can know all the variables at play to make a determination like that. In a nutshell there will always be examples of the best or the worst medical system failing someone, speaking from my personal experience duration should play a significant...

    For those who are against Universal Heath care. Why are you not for charging for other services?

    Once could argue that we used to be the best country in the world (depending on your criteria) but in recent years we have let our convictions and morals fall too steeply to still be in contention. As to the main point, a country as great as ours used to be should have been able to put into...

    Innocent until Proven Guilty

    Just because they have written themselves into the process is no reason to change said process. Lawyers have written themselves into the legal and political systems (and the IRS) so much so that they are practically inseparable. This doesn't mean we shouldn't still TRY to remove them from the...
