Canada's the backawards neighbour? I think someone got it backwards. 😎Hey, don't shoot the messenger 😀
(I even don't live in the USA)
Don't worry. I'm Canadian. I wouldn't shoot anybody. 🙂
You live in the South. Aren't you required to own a gun and shoot furriners on sight?
No, I'm in the south but my heart is still way up to the northeast.
Is it snowed in?
Can't say since I'm not there, but snow was expected to start this morning.
I'm just outside Boston, we're certainly snowed in here.

When you encounter a problem, if the solution isn't readily evident go back to the start and check your assumptions.

We got around 18". We're snowed in because the streets aren't plowed well. Side streets often meet that fate. Friends of mine in CT are at 26" and counting. A little further west of me, Maynard, got around 24"

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

I think that green is an appropriate color for the USIt would be nice if they kept them Green. Have you seen how much Red there actually is in the "new" Tens? Looks almost like Monopoly money.
Also, have you "felt" the new pennies? They don't even weigh as much as a penny should. I know they're not worth much to begin with but my word!

Took the kids to the mint this past summer. It was a near trip and we got to see pennies being minted. The tour said they've worked hard to reduce costs, make the money harder to fake. They are hoping that pennies get EOL'd. We'll see if it ever happens.

Anyone interested in reading a short blog post? I'm a little nervous about putting this one up. I'm talking about how heaps are stored and I've made mistakes there in the past.I see Gail has already offered, but if you want a second set of eyes, post a link or mail the text to SQLkiwi@gmail.com

Isn't SP4 already some time available?
I think I installed a few weeks ago on a virtual machine.

They are hoping that pennies get EOL'd. We'll see if it ever happens.Happened here a few years back. The 1c and 2c coins were discontinued and are no longer legal tender. Shops are required to round down a customer's total bill to the 5c.
So if my shopping bill comes to R148.88, I pay R148.85.
Ok, our 5c is worth less than one US cent, but still...
I have so much trouble with US money every time I visit, because all the notes are same size, same colour. Here the size of the notes increase as the value increases and they're all brightly coloured.

In some countries in Europe, they already prohibit the use of 1 and 2 eurocent.
Luckily not in all of them.
