Use your MSDN account to get a product code, enter that instead of renewing the license. End of problem.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

Just received this from our IT support:
Quote: Rob keeps loosing connection to the exchange server.
I can run a continuous ping to this server whilst this is happening so therefore I wish to run an Office repair.
I have lost connection - Rob please reboot and call me when you have a moment, thanks,
Phil.

Working overtime one weekend my team leader needed to access information on another team member's email account while he was on holiday. She had his password changed so she coukld get into his mail, then sent him an email with the new password!

That's why she's a boss. To keep her away from serious business

I had an issue with my Enterprise IM and created a support ticket. When nobody from support contacted me for over 24 hours, I walked down to the floor where the support guys were located only to be told by one of them "I did not find you online since yesterday, I had been waiting for a confirmation from you through IM".
It was one of those "God, I do not want to live in this World..." moments

I know you don't get these very often, so please enjoy . And hi to everyone - forums look great these days.
my $select = "";
my (@fields) = ("field1", "field2", "field3", "field4", "field5", "field6", "field7", "field8", "field9", "field10", "field11", "field12", "field13", "field14", "field15", "field16", "field17", "field18");
foreach my $f (@fields)
{
$select .= "$f,";
}
chop $select;
For those unfamiliar, @name= array variable, $name = scalar variable. 'chop' is interpreted as a function call with the intentional side effect of removing the last character from the scalar you pass it.
As a bonus, plaintext strings surrounded by double quotes must be parsed by the interpreter (this is Perl) and variable names within them are replaced with values.

|
|
That is, he creates one big string containing the values of $field1 to $field18 separated by a comma?
|
|
|
|
|
Not quite...
the "$f," only interpolates the value of the f scalar... so the result is the single string:
'field1,field2,field3,field4,field5,field6,field7,field8,field9,field10,field11,field12,field13,field14,field15,field16,field17,field18'
Seriously pointless!

He made a perfect example of code reuse! Spared 17 times the $ sign!!!
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

SELECT ISNULL(NULL,'') as [Email]

Maybe someone wanted to make sure that a mapping framework (like .net EntityFramework) made a nullable string out of it

Yes: [Email] will always be an empty string, not null (except when ISNULL evaluates NULL as something different from NULL). String.Empty and NULL is an enormous difference for MS SQLServer and most (or all?) object-oriented programming languages. But not for zen-lacking Oracle.

Yes, obviously.
And I wish XML would recognize that too.
