Crossloop integration into VFP
To All, Just to let you know that I am currently in talks with one of the developers Mrinal Desai at Crossloop talking about the possibility of providing an API into the Crossloop software so that we can hook into it from VFP. For those of you who didn't catch the thread earlier this month regadring Crossloop: www.Crossloop.com Crossloop is a hybrid of VNC with a pretty front end that allows you to remote control any PC through firewalls, routers etc., as long as the remote PC has Internet access they can run either Firefox or IE through. Installation is a breeze and the remote site (Host) loads the program which prompts them a unique security key. You as the client then key this security key in at your end and the connection is made through a secure encrypted server, and best of all it is all free. Once the connection is made the remote end confirms the ability for the client (by Name) to connect and you are off Back to the crux of the matter though! I see that being able to add this into a VFP app as an installable option to aid in remote diagnostics would be a great addition/selling point for those of you who do small bespoke development. My thoughts go as follows: 1. Ability to distribute the Crossloop software with VFP application. This it seems wouldn't be a problem to Crossloop but I need to confirm their licensing conditions. 2. Ability to either leave the remote host on standby via VFP and accept the client call automatically in the background or pop up the acceptance screen through VFP for operator confirmation. 3. Added ability to transfer files under VFP control to the host site from the client - this would allow easy version upgrades and bug fixes. This is not available at present but is scheduled for development. 4. Getting a VFP Branded version of Crossloop to help the exposure of VFP. Mrinal seems to be very enthusiastic about helping develop such an interface and we, as a group, could help in this. Have any of you any ideas or thoughts - good or negative as I said I'd get some feedback from the group. To say the least he seems to be very enthusiastic about us helping to get exposure for the product - which thay have said will ALLWAYS be free, as this in turn will get exposure for his company as a whole. Apart from that we could show the .Net crew we aren't quite dead yet! As the discussion unrolls I'm going to blog about it and keep the group posted. Comments appreciated.

It is estimated that up to 50% of all fertilized eggs die and are lost (aborted) spontaneously, usually before the woman knows she is pregnant. Among known pregnancies, the rate of miscarriage is approximately 10% and usually occurs between the 7th and 12th weeks of pregnancy... God really likes our babies dead.

Re: [NF] Medical insurance
As a lone gunman, insurance is really expensive. My family is relatively healthy so we got a HSA account, aka Health Savings Account. It basically means that we fund our own insurance (tax exempt) for common doctor visits, but BCBS kicks in if the amount goes over $5K in a year. Basically, it's catastrophic insurance. What I like about it is that I become the customer of the doctor. Normally, the doctor is doing what the insurance company wants him to do. It's amazing how a doctor treats me differently when they learn that I'm paying the bill.

Re: [NF] Medical insurance
I'm backed in the HSA by Blue Cross Blue Shield. So, I can force any doctor to file the claim via the BCBS network, which applies the discount, and then I get the bill from the doctor and pay that amount. ... or ... If I know the doctor (or their billing staff) I can explain to them that I'm in an HSA. I'll tell them that they can file the claim for $1000 and get paid $600 in about 4 to 12 months, or we can skip all of that, and I can pay the $600 right now (or $550 or $500 ...negotiate!) via my HSA debit card and they'll get their money tomorrow with little or no paperwork. I do this with my dermatologist. (I'm so white, I'm translucent!) I'm tempted to get my own liquid nitrogen service to the house. I digress. These Doc In A Box facilities are excellent too, and a HSA account works great with this business/service model. Their prices are listed in plain sight, there's usually no wait at all, and they can do everything including minor surgeries. Again, if you and your family are relatively healthy, and you have the cash reserve (3-6 mo) that you should as an independent contractor developing in a language that M$ doesn't deem a buzzword, then an HSA might be right for you. If you have something chronic, then another plan may be better. -K Rodney Dixon wrote: How do the charges work?

Re: [NF] Medical insurance
In the end, it's all about keeping the money flowing. The accounting staff is in the wrestling match with the insurance companies, but the doctors, in the end, call the shots. HA! Seriously folks, once the doctors hear that I'm paying for the service, they may choose a similar but less costly treatment. I can't know for sure, but they really do seem to treat me like the customer instead of some type of phantom entity floating in front of them. All doctors and doctor offices are different, YMMV. I've heard of some doctors in North Georgia that are stopping taking insurance. They let the patient file the claims with their insurance companies because the doctors were getting screwed over so badly. The employer / employee / insurance company / doctor system is broken IMO. I don't file a claim to get my oil changed in my car, only if I have a major accident. Why should routine doctor visits be any different? MB Software Solutions wrote: Wow! I'm surprised to hear that.

Re: [NF] XP- Home or Pro
If you're using XP home as a peer to peer network, then only 5 total users may be attached to your computer. That is yourself and 4 others. With XP Pro you're allowed 10 users to be attached. What do you mean by attached? This would be defined by Microsoft. Each time you connect to a computer for file sharing, you 'attach' to it, and it creates a connection. These connections time-out after a while, and it's possible for the client or server computer to explicitly terminate the connection by using admin tools. In practice, though, this 'attached' number is higher than the computers truely transfering files or browsing files on the 'server' computer... There's also an MS known, MS acknowledged, and MS ignored issue with Windows computers used as P2P SMB 'servers'-- when a client first boots up and connects, it creates it's regular connection, as well as a 'null session' that counts towards the limit. This means if you have a turnkey system such as ours, where the stations all start at the same time, you're effectively limited to 5 stations(half the connection limit) unless the client code has error-handling to wait for the null sessions to disconnect(they timeout in 30-60 seconds, IIRC). Now, in Windows XP, there's another 10 connection limit that can be somewhat confusing. You may have seen it in your Event Log, and even seen some network 'quirks' about the time of the event log entry. This is a 10 half-open tcp/ip connection limit. This was a 'security fix' that Microsoft implemented to try to slow worm propogation(albiet not very effective; if you do the math, you can still propogate to millions of computers in just a few minutes). If you try to load any P2P programs, such as bit torrent, you're likely to see this problem. Microsoft has no registry hack to fix this 'fix' for those who actually need their network connections to not shut down/throttle like this, but there's a small utility out there that will patch the tcpip.sys file to change the limit. I'm usually leary of this sort of hack, but I've been really annoyed by this limit and was forced to try the utility and hack my tcpip.sys, which actually works quite well. It's simply setting the functionality effectively to what it was in prior versions of Windows... The utility is available at http://www.lvllord.de/ for anyone interested in fixing their Windows XP computers -- Derek ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Irate Post to Wine -users
I came across an annoying post in the Wine-users discussion board which I monitor from time to time dissing VFP as usual and I've posted a reply. The message annoyance and my response reads as follows: I think I made a mistake on the supported until date however, but what the hell! http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.wine.user/16486/focus=16487 Hope both Whil and Paul don't mind my response Matthew Reed said: Microsoft has made it quite clear that you can't run VFP applications on non-Windows operating systems. They have in the past, and probably would not hesitate in the future, to sue people that do so. Also, Visual FoxPro is dead and is at the end of it's life cycle. Don't waste your time learning it. Mathew, please get your facts correct. 1. Microsoft didn't say to Whil Hentzen or Paul McNett that he couldn't run VFP on wine. They simply said that VFP runtimes could not be distributed to run on a non windows platform. They didn't sue or take legal action against either of Paul or Whil, simply stated the previous fact and asking the protagonists to consult their lawyers re the Eula. The VFP Eula is no different to the EULA on any other Microsoft product so running any other Microsoft produce COULD incurr the same response from Microsoft. Unless you have very deep pockets though, or get sponsored by a large organisation you wouldn't want to take the chance of M$ taking you to court, so that is the current situation. 2. VFP is NOT a defunct or dead product. The next release of Sedna will in fact be supported until 2014 by Microsoft and the main additions to an already complete language will be interoperability with the .NET framework, be it V1, V2, V3 or any of the future versions that are going to manifest themselves - just how long a shelf life do you need, especially seeing as how my applications from the non windows dos days can be simply compiled in the current version and run NO PROBLEMS. To me, that shows a mature sophisticated package with many years life not a dead product. 3. VFP Developers probably have at their disposal the best desktop application development language bar none and we have had it for a many years. It is the rest of the application development languages that are now playing catch-up with VFP - take the LinQ project for instance. Where do you think this idea came from - VFP of course, and who are the chief developers in the project - well non other than the main architects of VFP. 4. The VFP users/developers out there haven't given up hope of being able to run VFP apps on Wine completely. In fact there is no problem in developing using VFP on Wine as that doesn't contravene the Eula at all - the stumbling block is the distribution of the runtime files with the finished application, but in time, Microsoft might change their stance. In which case, look forward to the best desktop development system appearing on a desktop near you and blowing the socks of the competition. In conclusion I really do wish that you guys out there in ra ra development land would take your heads out of your backsides and realise that there is more than one way to skin a cat.

He and I worked together as a team - he hardware - me software. This lasted a couple of years until he started yelling at one of our clients. The client fired him and asked me to do both hardware and software. In 1993, my company co-sponsored the first FoxPro developers' conference in Canada. From that conference, I got 3 new clients - one was a government ministry that produced hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue. At about the same time, I got on Microsoft's list of FoxPro developers. Over the next several years, I got a dozen new clients. Those clients in turn recommended us to others.

I think you have to give up the idea of getting a 6 figure job. If you're an older guy, you must have gained a lot of business experience. You can use this to your advantage. You have to re brand yourself. Perhaps you can place an ad in the business section of your local paper. An ad along the lines of Wanted companies with business systems that don't work.

Tell them about your business experience. Follow up with letters and phone calls. It takes anywhere from 3 to 12 contacts to get their business. It requires persistence and hard work. Just don't give up. You may get a lot of rejection but eventually you'll get business. These are the people who have decision making power. They also authorize payment for your invoices. Get to know them and do the best you can for them. Even if you screw up, tell them before they find out and correct the issue as quickly as possible and don't charge for the fix ups. This has worked for me and in the last 10 years our revenues have been in the 100s of thousands each and every year. I've developed long term business relationships and they continue to work for me. One client has been with me for almost 25 years. We have written and upgraded his system a number of times and he keeps calling back to do more. I don't know what else to suggest.

Re: Irate Post to Wine -users
I've been trying to run VFP under cxOffice which is a wrapper for WINE. VFP last run under cxOffice version 4.2. I've tried cxOffice 6.0 and it's still broken. I'm not sure where to look for the log file that reports the error however. It just disappears with no (visible) message. I hate to say this, but I think I'm giving up on cxOffice. VFP works well under VMWare on Linux and that's the route that I recommend to VFP developers that need VFP on a Linux machine. $0.02 Dave Crozier wrote: I came across an annoying post in the Wine-users discussion board which I monitor from time to time dissing VFP as usual and I've posted a reply.

They have in the past, and probably would not hesitate in the future, to sue people that do so. Also, Visual FoxPro is dead and is at the end of it's life cycle. Don't waste your time learning it. Mathew, please get your facts correct. 1. Microsoft didn't say to Whil Hentzen or Paul McNett that he couldn't run VFP on wine. They simply said that VFP runtimes could not be distributed to run on a non windows platform. They didn't sue or take legal action against either of Paul or Whil, simply stated the previous fact and asking the protagonists to consult their lawyers re the Eula. The VFP Eula is no different to the EULA on any other Microsoft product so running any other Microsoft produce COULD incurr the same response from Microsoft. Unless you have very deep pockets though, or get sponsored by a large organisation you wouldn't want to take the chance of M$ taking you to court, so that is the current situation. 2. VFP is NOT a defunct or dead product. The next release of Sedna will in fact be supported until 2014 by Microsoft and the main additions to an already complete language will be interoperability with the .NET framework, be it V1, V2, V3 or any of the future versions that are going to manifest themselves - just how long a shelf life do you need, especially seeing as how my applications from the non windows dos days can be simply compiled in the current version and run NO PROBLEMS. To me, that shows a mature sophisticated package with many years life not a dead product. 3. VFP Developers probably have at their disposal the best desktop application development language bar none and we have had it for a many years. It is the rest of the application development languages that are now playing catch-up with VFP - take the LinQ project for instance. Where do you think this idea came from - VFP of course, and who are the chief developers in the project - well non other than the main architects of VFP. 4. The VFP users/developers out there haven't given up hope of being able to run VFP apps on Wine completely. In fact there is no problem in developing using VFP on Wine as that doesn't contravene the Eula at all - the stumbling block is the distribution of the runtime files with the finished application, but in time, Microsoft might change their stance. In which case, look forward to the best desktop development system appearing on a desktop near you and blowing the socks of the competition. In conclusion I really do wish that you guys out there in ra ra development land would take your heads out of your backsides and realise that there is more than one way to skin a cat.

RE: [NF] Medical insurance
If you want to move to Ontario, the provincial government provides you with one of the best health care systems in the world. The most you will pay is about $900 per year and that's if you earn $150,000 or more. It doesn't cover elective surgery like cosmetic plastic surgery or liposuction or prescription drugs or dental care and some eye care. It pays for visits to doctors, emergency room and hospital stays. It covers life threatening surgery and provides semi-private hospital rooms (2 to 4 beds per room). From age 65 on, no premium is paid. Also at that point, most drugs are provided at no cost. Contrary to hyped media reports, wait times are reasonable. My brother in law is a heart surgeon. He says most heart operations are done within 6 weeks and the survival rate is fairly high. My mother had to have a heart operation. From the time of diagnosis until the operation took place, it was about 3 weeks. No cost to my mom. When my wife had chest pains, I took her to the hospital in Thunder Bay. As soon as she said she had chest pains, within 2 minutes she was whisked away and quickly hooked up to an ECG heart monitor. They kept her overnight and did 3 tests over 24 hours. She was OK. Again no cost. When we went out west to Alberta, she again had chest pains. I took her to the hospital. No sooner had she spoke about chest pains, the triage nurse immediately came from behind the desk, put her in a wheelchair, wheeled her into emergency and hooked her up to the ECG monitor. Another nurse asked me for details and health card. I provided the nurse with her OHIP (Ontario health care) card. They accepted the Ontario card for health care in Alberta. All Canadian provinces recognize each other's health cards. She stayed overnight and had the same 3 types of test as in Ontario. They even provided dinner and breakfast. She was OK. No cost to us. And people who live in Alberta don't even have to pay a premium. They get the same level of health care in all Canadian provinces. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Madigan Sent: Thursday, January 25, 2007 11:34 PM To: profox@leafe.com Subject: [NF] Medical insurance Anybody have a great deal on medical insurance?

RE: [OT] Colbert's comments about globalization
Sounds like we have similar experiences. This is not the first time I've been put through the wringer, but it is the first time I couldn’t find work which would generate the operating capital so that I could work my way back up and I'd be the first to admit I've had a very hard time adjusting to it. I don't tell everything on here, but decided to explain just incase anybody was curious and hopefully they'll learn from my mistakes. I live way out in the boonies (90 miles from austin, 70 miles from san antonio) There are no computer stores, etc. nearby (25 miles away is the nearest one) Car should be repo-d today so that will prevent any travelling for awhile. So I am hoping to finalize a deal today with the local mechanic shop where I will do his bookkeeping, etc. 3 days per week for 50 per day (this will cover my apt rent) At the same time, he has a 16x16 office that is unused on main street and I will be renting this from him for 50 per week. I intend to do computer repair, appliance repair, what have you as well as software development, bookkeeping, tax returns from this office if we do the deal. Hopefully that will allow me to make 2 - 500 per week and if that happens, that will give me some capital where I can start advertising to get more work.

All I can say is that I'd be grief-stricken. Maybe because I'll miss them in the few years I have remaining here on Earth C'mon, you won't miss them the same way as if, say, they'd gone to live abroad and you'll never see them again. And if you don't feel that way then it means that your emotions (that expression of your soul) don't run together with what you claim is your faith. Ergo your faith is only superficial, it does not encompass the whole of your soul. I don't think you've thought it through if you believe children moving abroad would be the same feeling as them suddenly dying or being killed. I would feel sorrow in both cases, but the latter would be much, much more severe. Now, if you're saying a Christian can never grieve, I don't think you're in agreement with Biblical scripture and Christ's teachings. Also, are you suggesting that once you're a Christian you're suddenly perfect? That every thing you do, feel, and say is going to be perfectly what God would have you do? I'm pretty sure you realize that is not what Christianity teaches either. And if you're calling me a bad Christian, that's OK. I agree with that (to some degree at least). I'm definitely not a perfect Christian. But if you're calling me a hypocrite, then I'll disagree with you. But then I have the advantage of knowing what's in my heart. Anyway, I definitely feel grief when friends and family die. I definitely still fail and sin at times. But even at my lowest moments, I know my salvation rests with Christ and just meditating on that for a while never fails to bring me joy and peace. -Charlie ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Re: [OT] Gonzales warns judges not to meddle
Charlie, What are you coming up next? That evolution has already been debunked too? I hear all the time religious people claiming that there're plenty of scientific evidence pointing to criationism and that simply is not true. Criationism is a ludicrous lie. I've watched the documentary The God Who Wasn't there. There was no need for the movie to convince me, because I pretty much already knew what was in there. I watched Da Vinci Code and found it very silly. You don't need to tell me it was a hollywood movie based on a best-seller fiction book. But the The God Who Wasn't there is not fiction. It isn't even controversial, as it just shows information available elsewhere. Before discarding the documentary, watch it first. Or are you scared on having to THINK FOR YOURSELF and find the truth?

So we make choices all the time. The most critical choice, IMO, is whether or not to accept that we cannot obtain our own salvation. E.g. we can't work it off, we can't buy it off, we can't intellectualize it, etc. We have to accept God's grace, personally. So I don't deny God's Omnipotence, but I do think He uses it where He wants. So maybe He will bring all souls to Him in the end, I don't know. All I know is His words while He was here on Earth say that is not how it's going to be. Well now you blew it man. He didn't speak, Jesus did all the talking and claimed that it was his father's way. Well, it's my understanding that Christian belief is that Christ is God. So whatever He spoke, taught, etc was what God wanted us to hear. So, if by all your postings you're basically trying to say that God is not limited by what the Bible teaches, OK. Just say so.

RE: Crossloop integration into VFP

For those of you who didn't catch the thread earlier this month regadring Crossloop: www.Crossloop.com Crossloop is a hybrid of VNC with a pretty front end that allows you to remote control any PC through firewalls, routers etc., as long as the remote PC has Internet access they can run either Firefox or IE through. Installation is a breeze and the remote site (Host) loads the program which prompts them a unique security key. You as the client then key this security key in at your end and the connection is made through a secure encrypted server, and best of all it is all free. Once the connection is made the remote end confirms the ability for the client (by Name) to connect and you are off Back to the crux of the matter though! I see that being able to add this into a VFP app as an installable option to aid in remote diagnostics would be a great addition/selling point for those of you who do small bespoke development. My thoughts go as follows: 1. Ability to distribute the Crossloop software with VFP application. This it seems wouldn't be a problem to Crossloop but I need to confirm their licensing conditions. 2. Ability to either leave the remote host on standby via VFP and accept the client call automatically in the background or pop up the acceptance screen through VFP for operator confirmation. 3. Added ability to transfer files under VFP control to the host site from the client - this would allow easy version upgrades and bug fixes. This is not available at present but is scheduled for development. 4. Getting a VFP Branded version of Crossloop to help the exposure of VFP. Mrinal seems to be very enthusiastic about helping develop such an interface and we, as a group, could help in this. Have any of you any ideas or thoughts - good or negative as I said I'd get some feedback from the group. To say the least he seems to be very enthusiastic about us helping to get exposure for the product - which thay have said will ALLWAYS be free, as this in turn will get exposure for his company as a whole. Apart from that we could show the .Net crew we aren't quite dead yet! As the discussion unrolls I'm going to blog about it and keep the group posted. Comments appreciated.

Re: [OT] Gonzales warns judges not to meddle
Charlie, The very likely probability of Jesus' life being (mostly) a work of fiction has been refuted many times, I know. But usually it has been refuted in the same way as evolutionism has been refuted, usually with silly and non-scientific arguments. For example, you're claiming that scientists address evolutionism gaps by saying alien seeded planet Earth. That is RIDICULOUS. There are scientists that speculate about it, perhaps some even believe on the possibility, but those ideas are very far from being accepted as sound scientific theories. Probably never will. You're putting, as usual, something in scientists' mouth as to easily refute it. Religious people do that all the time. It's pure intellectual dishonesty. It's easy to rebuke lies using another lies. Look, you are stuck in believing things written BY MEN centuries ago, as if they are unquestionable truths. A fairy tale who explains everything with ludicruous ideas. Do you realise you're using ideas written by tribesmen hundreds of years ago as a way to guide your life? And at the same time find that other people who believe in other ancient tribesmen ideas are wrong? Get a clue!

Re: New Report Writer?
Tim, Check out XFRX - a 3rd party VFP reporting tool. It adds functionality to the VFP reporting architecture.

Unless the data volumes are huge and you need to do complicated analytics (BO or Microstrategy) or dashboards, I think you're going to be hard pressed to beat the capabilities and extensibility of VFP reports enhanced with XFRX.

RE: New Report Writer?
Another Option is ActiveReports from Data Dynamics. In the .Net and old VB world, it is becoming the replacement for Crystal since they do not charge a royalty on the designer. And they have both a .Net version and a COM version. We wrote a Custom Report Designer add-on tool to our software in (don't castrate me) VB6, which is just taking the active reports designer, and putting in our data connection along with some nice query tools. It helps with marketing, and dealing with the IT Managers that have a problem with fox. So, as they ask what languauge is the software written in, we can answer VB and others microsoft technologies.

It just addresses your statement that belief is all that is necessary, and that acts don't matter. Ah. Well, at the risk of confusing things again, I'd like to clarify my views of acts of a believer. I believe the Bible teaches that faith in Jesus is all that is required for salvation. However, once a person is saved, doing good should occur. Maybe the person was doing good before they became saved, maybe not. The thing is, if someone claims to be a Christian but continuously commits evil acts, there is good reason to doubt they are saved. The book of James in the New Testament can be sort of summed up by the phrase Faith without works is a dead faith. Guarding one's behavior as a Christian serves at least 2 purposes: 1) to show others the grace God has given you, and 2) to help you evaluate your relationship with God. If a self-proclaimed Christian has absolutely no desire to do good acts in the name of God, it would be advisable for that person to re-examine their heart and find out what is wrong. So I hope I didn't derail things. To obtain salvation, works are meaningless. But once salvation is obtained, works are important.
