Re: [OT] McCain Plagiarizes Georgia Speech
[all previous snipped] I'm not sure what all the hubbub is about. Politicians often use speech writers (maybe the majority of the time). So, most likely, the writers are the ones plagiarizing. And another thing, I'd almost think plagiarizing is really only a problem when something "significant" or "important" is copied. So if someone is plagiarizing obvious lies, I don't really care. And clearly pretty much the only things politicians speak are lies or, at best, exaggerations. I figure they're all copying parts from all other political speeches. It's sort of like seeing another article written about how great Windows is - the authors obviously are copying MS propaganda, but who really listens or cares? -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 Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

I didn't read the whole thing completely, but this doesn't sound like a hack against VFP. It's simply a virus that targets a specific type of file. (hmm... I wonder if it could be traced back to MS - they certainly have a lot to lose by folks continuing to use DBFs...) Anyway, a comparison would be a virus that looks for all files with a .doc extension and replaces part of it with crap. It's not MS Word that has the vulnerability (for a change).

Indeed, this rule of thumb comes to mind. But to apply it, do so completely. For example, whether I move to .Net or Windows Vista is basically means I'm playing the same newbie role as I am in moving to Linux and Python (or Pearl, or Java). So, wouldn't it be better to move to something which is less likely to give me the "shaft" in the future? (e.g. as MS has given the "shaft" to VFP developers)? Also, one could argue that, due to its very nature, Linux is by a far margin the 'best known hell' as compared to MS Windows. :-) -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.

I seem to recall that is what happened to me.

RE: VFP "report form" Error

It is just as though VFP is NOT picking up the correct alis ... I've had a problem in relation to grids and this type issue. But if you don't have any grids active while you're doing the report, you can probably just ignore the rest of this message. I'm not sure it still exists in VFP (8 or 9). But here is what I've encountered: If you do a REPORT FORM call while a Grid on a form has focus, the current alias will get switched to the Grid's recordsource after the REPORT FORM gets called. This happens IF the grid has focus at the time the report is invoked. I couldn't find the KB article on MS's web site. My workaround was to make sure and shift focus off any grid before doing the REPORT FORM command. This may explain some of the behavior you're seeing. E.g. if you do some steps which end up moving focus off the grid (or off the form containing the grid), the REPORT FORM command would work. -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.

So they've come up with smart 'caching' and other ... If you say so. VFP is case sensitive in searching. Well, it does depend on how you build your index/search expression eh? But I know what you mean - the SQL DBs have a ... um... what is it? Character Set definition which you can define fields as being case-sensitive or not? That's one of the optimizations I talked about. Also the article you linked talks about 'data page' design of SQL DBs. As I recall, that 'page' concept was thought up because of variable length fields/records (back in IBM and Oracle's early days). With fixed length fields/records, you don't need a 'page' concept because it's trivial to determine what parts of the data get locked. So, it does seem logical that if a SQL DB is based on 'page locking', varchar could work better than fixed char under certain conditions. Especially if the SQL DB uses a single access mechanism to get to the data. -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.

I've got enough stuff for a decent sized pickup truck, but I've only got a small car without a trailer hitch. My challenge: how do I get all of my stuff (again, could fit in a pick probably) back to PA in the most affordable way? In case you haven't already checked, do some research on U-Haul. I'm pretty sure they have ways to attach their trailers to cars without the standard hitch. But if you have a small car/older car, you may not want to trust its ability to pull a trailer cross-country (but smaller trailers don't really cause a lot of drag - the main thing to check would be your brakes). So, you could potentially get a small truck from U-haul, with a towing attachment to tow your car behind. So get some quotes from U-Haul and see how things stack up with shipping your stuff via other means.

I cannot take any credit for anything = you are seeing with varchar involved. but varchar is a *good* thing, isn't it? Oh wait...are you saying it's better optimized as fixed length chars? Do elaborate. From a very general Computer Science perspective, data storage of 'variable' length fields and records requires more "work" from the DB engine. E.g. indexing, searching, retrieval, etc has to be concerned with End of Field and End of Record 'marks', etc. A fixed length field/record means data locations in files are a very simple calculation with no parsing of actual data. I presume this is why a lot of my VFP apps out-performed the SQL (Informix, SQL Server, Oracle) counterparts in the past. Of course, the DB Vendors are constantly trying to improve their performance. So they've come up with smart 'caching' and other optimizations to help speed up the DB functions on variable length fields/records. And, because of the additional layers being heaped on DB access (OLE DB, etc), and the general 'set' (and client/server) theory of SQL, it's sometimes hard to tell where the performance bottlenecks really are (that is, from an end-application standpoint). -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.

Now there's possible logic I see, but with the differences between VFP and client/serverwell, it's very different. If you can afford SQL Server AND NEED SQL Server (for big dog data), so be it. VFP is great, but when you use SQL Server or MySQL or Oracle or a serious big dog rdbms, you gain so much more scalability (or at least that's what I bought). Fox tables are awesome, but there comes a point where there's a limit. Very true. But a couple other things get thrown in the mix: 1) VFP table limits are such that probably 80%+ of businesses could use them just fine 2) VFP works so well with other DB backends that MS SQL server loses its...um 'charm'. Especially when considering combining VFP's local data engine with backend servers. And remember, MS SQL Server isn't really about making a 'sale' - it's about making an umbilical chord with endless licensing fees. -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.
