Which chess? Normal, or some of the exotic variants?

I have a report page generated off of a database application. It is designed to be printed out, and I did my best to make the page as printer-friendly as possible. However, I have a problem. The layout works fine on landscape print format, but on portrait format, some longer …

My results: Your personality type: Logical, original, creative thinkers. Can become very excited about theories and ideas. Exceptionally capable and driven to turn theories into clear understandings. Highly value knowledge, competence and logic. Quiet and reserved, hard to get to know well. Individualistic, having no interest in leading or following …

[quote=Sturm;368349]Cars have a useful purpose, guns do not.[/quote] You don't consider the ability to defend yourself against an attacker to be a useful, valid purpose? Note: The main historical reason for keeping weapons away from a people or people group was to ensure they could never rise above their 'betters'. …

Actually, I'd say early 90's. Although there were a few points along the way where there might have been comebacks...

[quote=sepaITDev;395986]Dear Josh, I would not agree with what you say. Everyone knows that this great country was built by immigrants who came from all over Europe. You are my friend a child of an immigration couple whether your ancestors came a 100 years ago or 200 years ago but we …

[quote=Rhyan;395822]Guys, Don't you think that the CIA is just a decoy for the real 'secret service' in US? I mean - the CIA is so popular already that it is not secret anymore. In my opinion they were most active during the cold war and the mid 60's early 70's. …

It's always been my understanding that ticklishness is an automatic nervous reaction to the sudden pressure and/or motion hitting the nerves. Based on this, I'd say it's going to happen to anyone unless they've either got nerve damage, or are somehow capable of filtering out the nerve impulses entirely, as …

I think the fuss is mostly about making a fuss. While the number has significance in the Bible, Book of Revelation, it has significance because it is somehow attached to a specific individual, not because of the number itself. In this case, I think jamello was joking about arjunsasidharan's post …

I know this thread is rather old, but I just saw an interesting headline on the MSN website. One of the 'week in review' articles had the caption "Cleaner wins suit over missing pants."

[quote=sk8ndestroy14;375532]Here's an analogy: If you flip a coin there is a fifty percent chance it will land on heads. This is your free will. You don't know if it will land on heads. But is it really a fifty percent chance? Take into account the force exerted on the coin, …

Probably too late for you to see this beforehand, C, but best wishes!

Depends, Narue. You sure you're not trying to go beyond hurting her feelings?

This, I believe, is generally where most people get their argument from: [quote=Thomas Jefferson in The Unanamious Declaration of the thirteen united States of America.][I]We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights, that among …

I am trying to build a program for ftp transmission purposes. I have been requested to use another program written by my predecessor as a model. At one point, my predecessor's code makes reference to an item called flstvwBags, a TFileListView object. I cannot find this component on my own …

I'm trying to figure out how to send files via FTP in Delphi. A program written by my predecessor makes use of the Indy package IdFTP component, but I'm having some trouble figuring out how to use it. Searching google only gave me sites in non-english languages, and I'm having …

After all this murderous fellow grew up somewhere near there.[/quote] Wait a minute...killer nazi squirrels? I thought it was killer rabbits they were after. I mean, wasn't one of those active in the United States during the mid …

Recently, I have been requested to build a system to transfer some information to another system via ftp. I was recommended to use a specific, working file and modify it, as it already contained the transmission data. I was given a new target url and a new user id and …

I believe that 'they' in this case is an attempt to circumvent the politically incorrect third person singular masculine. Or, in other words, 'they' is being used to refer to a single individual of unknown gender, instead of the more commonly used 'he'.

Anyone ever heard of that before? I'm running AVG as my antivirus software, and it flagged that thing a few minutes ago. I've been trying to find out information about it in hopes of minimizing loss (I'm on my work computer, which means that any kind of hit is a …

@~s.o.s~: I know it's not Yugioh, but where [I]does[/I] your avatar pic come from?

Including him, maybe?

I know that most Delphi components have an 'on mouseover' event that activates when you move the mouse over the component. Are there any text-box style components with a 'mouse-hover' ability, where the event occurs if you park your mouse over the item in question? And if so, what's a …

What'd you do, ~s.o.s~, edit the code or put your own box in over the 'official' one?

I've been working on a program designed to allow the end user to offer data corrections back to my company. (That is, they send us the originals, we process those and store it in a database, and this program is supposed to allow them to search the DB and send …

[quote=jbennet;384473]um that would be a dumb idea. That would involve beaming high intensity light down to earth? = set fire to the atmosphere. Setting fire to the atmosphere is bad,[/quote] [humor][COLOR=red]How do you know? Is it something you've done before?[/COLOR][/humor]

American War can't have been a civil war in books for the last couple of hundred years. War itself began less than a century and a half ago.

He's got a point. Privately owned commodities are worth more than so-called 'common' commodities are; from what I recall, elephant herds do better in the areas of Africa where some limited hunting is legal; the hunters have an incentive to protect the herds for future use. In those areas where …

Nah, I'd say that one's more likely to be pinned on Reagan|Bush(41) instead.

I'd have to say that I'm against the idea of funding for embryonic cells, mostly because of the death requirements to it, but also partially due to RoE weakness. The claims laden out for 'eventually, the e-cells will do all of [I]this[/I]!' are always couched as 'eventually'. The actual results …

Just tried this for myself...got some interesting results back. Six of the ten items on the first page of results are mine. The top two are references to questions I've asked on Daniweb. Interestingly enough, only one item (the top one in my results) on the second page was mine.

Vacation? I [I]think[/I] I remember something about those...long ago...

Several points: 1. 'Good' for a nation is in many ways meaningless; even more so when you consider that it's generally also a worthless term when applied to individuals. 'Good' usually means 'I agree with that person|statement|idea'. 2. We aren't really democratic, no. We're a republic. If America were a …

I don't recall the exact law offhand, but from what I've read, in the United States, any 'Affirmative Action' process that actually does use the ethnicity of a candidate for a position (school, job, or other) is in violation of the very law which supposedly supports them. The purpose of …

[quote=Infarction;358813]The nuclear bomb has also been considered as a political move to prevent the Russians from invading Japan, both to show the power of the US and to end the war before the Russians had a chance to get involved on that side. That way the US was able to …

Cool. I wish you well with your training, education, and career.

[quote=lasher511;383739]oh yah i remember the one that let all the black people go and got shot at a play[/quote] Not exactly accurate, from what I recall. If I remember the wording correctly, the Emancipation Proclamation would have had no effect on the states in the Union, or on those Confederate …

Nah, he's just autosetting the stuff to bebo. Isn't that what happens if you use an assignment in place of an equality check? The program automatically assumes (I know, anthropomorphizing) that it's a true statement?

I'm not totally certain on this, but to your comments... 1)BSD: Isn't there a specific BSD liscence that Micro$oft would have to adhere to? 2)UNIX: I vaguely recall hearing that Micro$oft tried to support a unix-esque setup some time back...I think the name was Xenix, although I can't recall for …

I've been attempting to teach myself some C, as I have been tasked with maintaining a program written for a handheld barcode scanner that appears to be written in this language. (At least, I'm assuming that for the moment, considering the fact one of the first statements I saw when …

[quote=joshSCH;379000]Personally, I am supportive of declaring the U.S. official language as English, because it is the language that the majority of the population speaks.

Remind me to always roll a bowling ball in front of me next time I go walking in the forest.

TOS usually stands for Terms of Service.

Had them a few years back. Couldn't stop fidgiting with the rubber bands holding the wire into the metal; probably cost myself a year and my family a small fortune because of that.

I'm attempting to teach myself some C programming, for use on a handheld barcode scanner. I've never worked with C before except for (maybe) 1 semester in college (which might have been C++ instead). I figured I'd try to start with a simple project; write a program to build a …

Depends on how the currencying goes. From what I understand, originally our paper money was backed by gold and silver, now it's not. Hence, major inflaltion becomes an option. What's the metal value of the coins? (Amnt Metal * $/oz) If that's high enough, the coins may be worth more …

[quote=lasher511;367259]very cool stuff. that one was in a hoax email for a long time[/quote] I don't think I've ever gotten a copy of that particular hoax before; most of my 'hoax-like' ones seem to be 419 scammers these days. Got a copy of the email on hand?
