Re: [NF] GoDaddy really sucks... at least one time, on one side, in Scotland
I'm curious why you feel the need to transfer the domain elsewhere? Because I'm giving it away to its owner. I got the domain for him when he was down and out. He's doing better now and I don't want to continue to be charged for it. I offered to transfer it as-is from GoDaddy to them but they wanted to transfer it to their parking and hosting accounts. The return email from GoDaddy tech support was just as unhelpful as their on-line help was. Very frustrating... However, I was finally able to get through to them on the phone...couldn't yesterday...and after about a 5 minute wait got the (I hope) right information from a very helpful person on the telephone -- not from India -- probably from Phoenix... So, I'd give them a C... Their website still doesn't work, the help at their website inadaquate, their email tech support clueless, but their on the phone support was very good...

It would be impossible for any company to bat 100% Except Quantas, who has never lost an airplane, but one would think they're due, huh. I've been using GoDaddy for years, for upwards of 50 domains created and registered with them as well as with other companies, in various capacities, and I've ALWAYS had excellent experiences with them. I've NEVER had an unsatisfactory experience. I'm really pleased with their services, with the ability I have to manage and control my domains, and do pretty much anything I want with them. Contrast that with NS or Register.com or a half dozen others who are clearly out to shaft you... I'm curious why you feel the need to transfer the domain elsewhere? You can lock it down for 10 years for about $50 (wait for one of their specials). Yeah, maybe somewhere else you can get the same thing for... $40, but at what cost? Like I said, the services they provide for your $8.95 are pretty amazing. And every time I've called (admittedly, maybe only 4 or 5 times), I've always talked to someone with a drawl who was at worst two time zones away from me. I suppose it IS possible that they've got an Indian or two in their call centers, just as they very likely have a couple of Orientals, a Yankee, a redneck, and, gasp, maybe even a Republican.

Re: VFP9: Printing: Selecting a Different Paper Tray
I had to do something like this too. I ended up having to Run the report in the IDE to one paper tray. Save off the expr memo field contents. Run in the IDE to the other tray. Save off the expr memo field contents again. Then when I ran the report I had to open the .frx file - plug tray 1 into the EXPR field, change to that printer in set printer to Then do it again for the other printer tray. The deal is just setting printer to is not enough -- the destination gets screwed up unless the same destination is also in the .frx file too... I could dig out the code if you really need it -- it's on another computer. Chet Peter Cushing wrote: Desmond Lloyd wrote: Good Afternoon, Need some printing advice: We have an application in which we will need to print to a specific printer using a different paper tray (other than the default). Can set the printer (no brainer) Next step is to change the paper tray, I can do that by issuing sys(1037), but once changed it stays that way meaning that I would have to reissue the sys(1037) after printing to the special tray. Any advice on how I might programatically change the paper tray and the change back? Set up a dummy table and report and try printing to this printer using sys(1037) before the print. Print to one tray, then open the .frx file and have a look in the EXPR memo to see if it has a line referencing the tray, then try another tray and have a look in here again. If you have two different lines then these can be written back to the .frx before doing a print and you could have a control on a screen to select the output.

Re: [OT] Bloggers consider forming labor union
For the rational among you who don't believe the RW lies: The TRUTH about Single-Payer Health Care around the world: http://www.michaelmoore.com/sicko/checkup/ - We could have it as soon as the bush crime family has left: HR 676 - http://www.house.gov/conyers/news_hr676_2.htm Brief Summary of HR 676 ·The United States National Health Insurance Act establishes an American national health insurance program. The bill would create a publicly financed, privately delivered health care system that uses the already existing Medicare program by expanding and improving it to all U.S. residents, and all residents living in U.S. territories. The goal of the legislation is to ensure that all Americans will have access, guaranteed by law, to the highest quality and most cost effective health care services regardless of their employment, income, or health status. · With over 45-75 million uninsured Americans, and another 50 million who are under- insured, the time has come to change our inefficient and costly fragmented non health care system. Who is Eligible · Every person living in or visiting the United States and the U.S. Territories would receive a United States National Health Insurance Card and ID number once they enroll at the appropriate location. Social Security numbers may not be used when assigning ID cards. Health Care Services Covered · This program will cover all medically necessary services, including primary care, in patient care, outpatient care, emergency care, prescription drugs, durable medical equipment, long term care, mental health services, dentistry, eye care, chiropractic, and substance abuse treatment. Patients have their choice of physicians, providers, hospitals, clinics and practices. No co-pays or deductibles are permitted under this act. Conversion To A Non-Profit Health Care System · Private health insurers shall be prohibited under this act from selling coverage that duplicates the benefits of the USNHI program. Exceptions to this rule include coverage for cosmetic surgery, and other medically unnecessary treatments. Those who are displaced as the result of the transition to a non- profit health care system are the first to be hired and retrained under this act. Cost Containment Provisions/ Reimbursement · The National USNHI program will set reimbursement rates annually for physicians, allow for global budgets (annual lump sums for operating expenses) for health care providers; and negotiate prescription drug prices. The national office will provide an annual lump sum allotment to each existing Medicare region; each region will administer the program. · The conversion to a not-for-profit health care system will take place over a 15 year period. U.S. treasury bonds will be sold to compensate investor-owned providers for the actual appraised value of converted facilities used in the delivery of care; payment will not be made for loss of business profits. Health insurance companies could be sub-contracted out to handle reimbursements. Proposed Funding For USNHI Program: · Maintaining current federal and state funding of existing health care programs. A modest payroll tax on all employers of 3.3%. A 5% health tax on the top 5% of income earners. A small tax on stock and bond transfers. Closing corporate tax loop-holes, repealing the Bush tax cut. --- Keep up the parroting of the discredited right-wing line, old buddy...

Re: [NF] Green electric hardware
Right, I forgot about FL humiditity... We don't have that here except during Monsoon...and even that hasn't been enough to get us to turn on the A/C yet... If they do a grid inter-tie and battery, they don't have to share the batteries with the neighborhood. They would have to pay more for the inverter though. The switch-hitters that allow inter-tie and battery are more expensive than the inter-tie only inverters... I just asked my solar guy which inverters our local power company will subsidize and he sent me these links: For the battery backup, the inverter currently approved by TEP is the SMA Sunny Island. Information at http://www.sma-america.com/solar-technology/products/island-grids/battery-inverters/index.html. The advantage of this inverter is that it normally acts as a grid-tie inverter, and switches to batteries only when needed. That's sort of what we want -Chet There are a couple of other inverters that may soon qualify for use with TEP, The OutBack inverters http://www.outbackpower.com/grid_interactive.htm, and the Xantrex XW http://www.xantrex.com/web/id/246/p/1/pt/25/product.asp. Using one of these inverters is really the best way to go with a battery backup/gridtie system. It becomes kind of a pain to set up charge controllers and transfer switches, since battery voltages are typically 48 volts max, and gridtie array voltages are 300-600.

Re: [NF] -- Tale of an IT Hero
Instead, AWC’s new strategic enterprise technology plan is the direct result of proof-of-concept testing that indicates that the company can cut costs, increase system reliability and security, and provide expanded IT support services by porting a major portion of its IT infrastructure to Apple. Extricating itself from its exclusive dependence on Microsoft is simply the cherry on top. I suspect this guy knows what he's doing...

Over the past few years, I've worked with Frantz closely enough to know not only that the CIO of Auto Warehousing Co. doesn't have a vengeful bone in his body, but also that he means what he says. As Julia King reports in this week's cover story, the migration is being made because Frantz determined that by doing so, he can cut costs, improve system reliability and security, and provide expanded IT support services to his users. The decision to extricate himself from his total dependence on Microsoft was based on sound business and technology principles, not some mindless lust for retaliation. On the other hand, don't believe for a nanosecond Microsoft's extremely poor judgment in selecting AWC as a target in a software-licensing intimidation campaign, and Frantz's earnestness to demonstrate that Apple is a viable alternative to Microsoft in large companies, are unrelated. They are, in fact, inextricably linked. The thing that is really sad about this whole affair is that Auto Warehousing Company is virtually a dedicated Microsoft shop, due to my (prior) professional respect for your company. As I have spoken at global conferences and been quoted many times in the IT trade press, I have reinforced that AWC is a Microsoft shop and that we are proud of that fact.

Re: [NF] Two kinds of people (this is sort of technical)
Mine was a 1950 Ford Convertible. I tried to peel out one day and popped the axle... bummer... It had 4 bald tires and 2 bald spares... It was very cold in the winter in Arlington, VA. The tires would only go flat in the snow. The trunk wouldn't open but that didn't matter much since there was a complete tear in the fabric between the rear seat and the rear deck where one could crawl in to get one of the spares and jack, etc. There were GREAT tunes on the radio once in a while but when a clunker came on I could just push a button on the radio to go to another station... I got it up to nearly 65 mph once or twice... It was light blue (at one time)...with a beige fabric top... Gas was 25 cents a gallon... Dinner at McDonalds was 75 cents.. My next ride was a Renault Dauphin. It had a crank for the engine. That came in very handy...especially when you don't have money for a new battery... I didn't win any drag races...until I started riding Triumph Motorcycles... On a Triumph, cars were the dots that disappear in the rear view mirror. mrgmhale wrote: I tried that.

Re: [OT] You RAM is a document?
Only if you go by the popular vote count and the ACTUAL electoral college count...since by both measures, Gore Won. And that's not even including the caging in Florida and other dirty tricks to suppress Democratic voters in many states. But then who cares about counting the votes anymore anyway? It's not the republican way... If the election hadn't been stolen by the shrub's daddy's SCOTUS picks there would have been NO 9/11, and NO phony war on terror. Instead, The Gore admin. would have continued Clinton/Richard Clark's effective, real plan to deal with some of the people who use terror as a tactic -- Like, oh, what's his name, the one bush 'doesn't really think about any more' and still hasn't 'hunted down', AH, THAT'S IT, Osama Bin-Laden. Oh, and there would have been NO invasion and aborted occupation of Iraq. Let's see, that's about 3500 Americans and 700,000 Iraqis who'd be alive today and about 20,000 Americans and a couple million Iraqis who would be whole...

Re: [OT] Cities struggle with wireless Internet
There is no compelling evidence that the observed overall warming in the 20^th Century is anything but man-made. The burden of proof is on those who would have us think that natural causes are solely or mainly responsible for this trend. Of course, showing that the observed warming entirely agrees with reasonable expectations for the rise in carbon dioxide does not exclude the possibility that some of this warming would have occurred anyway, without human help. But the warming of the past 30 years, from 1970 to the present, is unexplainable by any known natural cause. In any case, considerable further warming is very likely if emissions continue as in the past. We know that CO_2 causes warming. We do not know the likely rate within a factor of three. Ignorance is not a good basis for dealing with risk. http://earthguide.ucsd.edu/globalchange/global_warming/03.html Most of the Earth's scientists don't agree with your opinion...

Re: [NF] I love contracting!
The last large corporations I worked for: 1) Had a wonderful long range plan. Their long range plan was to replace their core business software with the state of the art in order to impress Wall St. This software was running in FoxPro Dos and FPW with some VFP. Those of us in the Fox team suggested that they allow the 11 of us to port all of the software into VFP. This would have taken us about a year with no interruption to ongoing processing. But no, they knew best so they hired a couple of hundred of folks to re-write the system in m$'s latest and greatest VB, C, some Java and with SQL server databases. After spending millions for over 2 years they dumped the local team, hired an Indian company, fired them, hired another Indian company then sold themselves to their major competitor. Great plan... 2) Had a wonderful long range plan. We had created a system in VFP that satisfied their business model from initial contact through installation and marketing follow up. We only had two more small steps -- integrate from the VFP system with their 3D cad system and to feed Quick Books and would have had an end to end system that would do the job for the least financial outlay for the franchises. But, they hired some corporate IT guy. This guy decided that the solution to this relatively small franchise business' IT needs was to go with bloated, inadequate m$ megasoftware and force the franchises to buy (or lease) new servers. Along with all of this would have been a requirement to retrain the 500 folks out in the field who already knew how to work with the existing system that was CUSTOM TAILORED TO THE BUSINESS. They ended up losing MILLIONS of dollars, fired this clown early (and had to pay his huge severance) and the franchises are still working with the original system but they DON'T have the extensions I would have provided had I not been laid off in favor of m$'s crap. I have found that all to often the leaders have a plan and that since they are incompetent idiots whose only desire is to please the jerks on Wall St. to the detriment of their employees and customers -- they totally f*ck it up and cost many thousands of folks their jobs... They have long range plans and they are generally bullsh*t... It's been my experience that nearly ALL of the corporations I've worked for have followed the same path I've just outlined and nearly all of them are extinct.

That data is already available via a system the MPD has and I'm pushing it to some test users. I want to also add into those emails a listing of warrants within that radius and push it out as well. Therein lies the problem. (I'm afraid I must have been distracted when those classes were taught). Does anyone have a clue how to do a select from a table given a lat and long and select all records that fall within the 1/2 mile radius? Help!!

Re: [NF] Vista and XP
ipconfig /allis your friend. Run this command in a DOS box on both machines. You will find out what device is serving out I/P addresses (if either of them is) and what the main root address is (198.168.1.1 or 198.168.2.1 or 198.168.0.0 or whatever the root DHCP series is). It will also tell you what I/P addresses your desktop and laptop think they are. It's possible that the one that isn't working has an I/P on a different root (198.168.x.), an I/P out of range for the router or the SUBMASK may be different. I've had no trouble setting the router to be a DHCP server and then setting all other computers to get I/P address from the DHCP server. You should also turn OFF ALL WINDOZE AND OTHER FIREWALLS on each machine! Your router, like mine, is probably keeping the world out fine so you don't need that crap. You can (and SHOULD) test your router with www.grc.com Shield's Up in a browser on any machine that's connected to the internet through the router. Mine tests as Stealth on all ports -- yours should too. john harvey wrote: Usually, you need to set the dsl modem to be a gateway to the wireless router/switch and all devices can get an ipaddress from the router.

Re: [NF] Vista and XP
Don't forget to setup your printer as a DHCP client or, if you wish, hard code an I/P way above your other computers (ie: router DHCP root = 198.168.1.0 -- Set printer to 198.168.1.199 and make sure the router range is 100 through 199 -- you get the idea..) The important thing with this network stuff is to make sure they're all on the same I/P root and SubMask. Once that's done, it's duck soup for the rest (unless the router craps out).

Re: [NF]was Dell once again offers Windows XP - Vista upgrade
Just a reality check... How much memory, disk speed and what OS was on your previous machine? How much memory and what's the disk speed on the new vista machine? Did you turn off that egregious nagging crap? If you were running XP in 256Mbytes and now you're using 1Gbyte (or preferably 2Gig) memory...yeah, you'd notice an improvement. On the other hand, if you were running XP pro on a machine with 512mBytes and now have a 1Gig with vista -- the vista machine would run slower, as mine does. Cheers; Alan Bourke wrote: I almost forgot to add, Vista is noticeably slower than XP on the HP laptop. God only knows what kind of progress that is supposed to be. OK, that's one laptop which Vista is slower on. On the one I'm using to type this, it's at least as fast and noticeably faster at dealing with several large apps being open at the same time. I have to say that at the minute I don't see any major reason to go for Vista over XP SP2. Down the line a ways, after a Vista SP1 release, that situation will probably reverse. Having said that, I didn't pay for Vista, I got it via our corporate MSDN sub. I have to say I was looking at the pricing for MS Office Small Business Edition in PC World yesterday and it is very expensive. ___ 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.
