    SMH...

    Why would the person who wrote the procedure ask on a public forum why his procedure is returning a value of -6 when executed?

    Is a well known fact, that forums users are basically human compilers that will comprehend any logic needed even without knowing the requirements.

    Like so many things, the answer is in the code. We can't see it, but it's still in there. Now all he has to do is find it. Of course, the well-written comments will tell everything. 😉

    In this person, weak is the force. 😉

  • I'm guessing that google.com is down today. At least the za one still works fine, so I can google for anyone affected by this terrible outage.

    Google worked fine for me each time I Google the OP's question. 😉

    I was waiting for this one to make an appearance on this thread!

  • I might need a pork chop soon. I won't care if it's coated in whipped cream, BBQ sauce, or anything else!

    Maybe mint jelly or for slightly more "impact", a mixture of potassium chloride and petroleum jelly

    All seems to be ok now. Pork chops can go back in the fridge.

    I just thought you should know.

    Heh... now why didn't I think of that... "Dragon's breath pork chops".

    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.

    So long as no one brings up the whipped cream incident, everything should be fine.

    What about the pork chops? Are they still an option? 😉

    With whipped cream?

    No whipped cream, since it just flies off during flight. A thick barbeque sauce, on the other hand, is viscous enough to stick under normal speed, creates a nice "splat" noise on impact and makes a bit of a mess. Granted, the higher the velocity, the less of a mess.

    Not if you cut a butterfly pocket and tube it into place. It survives even the 3 banded launcher. 😛

    Wow. That explains a lot about The Incident.

    Jeff, how much did you have to do with that, anyway? And whatever happened to the kilt in question?

  • Apologies if my following question is answered on a FAQ somewhere (if so - I cant find it) but what is the rule here regarding thread bumping? If the thread is relevant but older than say 1 month should we start a new thread ?

  • My general guideline is 'new question -> new thread'.

    If I open a thread and notice that the OP is a year old, I probably won't look any further.
