The look reminds me of cheap lawn furniture my parents had 25-30 or so years ago that was always trying to pinch you in the gaps between bands. IIRC they were a non-stretchy plastic; but I might've just been too small to give any stretch from them.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I followed the link and was told I should use SQL server exclusively.
At least I assume that's what "Access denied" means...

I use my piano stool as my desk chair - it is great as I have to sit up straight and it is quite comfortable.
I realise it's a bit of an eccentric suggestion but sometimes chairs with poor back support are worse than having no back support.

That must be a bitch when you lean back.

Spend the money, get something that is comfortable and supports your back! Our office went for the cheap seats, bloody uncomfortable and would not rise enough so my legs were horizontal.
Bought a $400 one from Ikea of all places and have been happy with it for 5 years so far.

If I had had a girl, I would have wanted to name her Cassiopeia. I think it's a beautiful name.

I posted the mile long post below, and almost at the same time, one of my friends (who's not on CP AFAIK) sends me THIS[^] on Farcebook.
Just another creepy coincidence!??!?

I don't get this fad in "functional programming". Who can recommend a decent dysfunctional language?

That said, it was fun until they corrupted its beauty with the ugly COMPUTE verb.

Well, seing that it's going to come up sooner rather than later, I might as well mention it right away:
VB.Net!

A Haiku about VB.NET coding:
No no no no no
No no no no no no no
No no no no no

Shouldn't there have been a GoTo somewhere in there?
And an On Error Resume Next

The line numbering takes me way further back than VB.Net, all the way to Commodore 64 (and as you know, I'm in a nostalgic mood today )

In VB3 you could use optional line numbers. We had a doofus who would put them in as it 'helped with debugging'. We had him humanely destroyed.

You can still do that (use line numbers, that is) - I just checked in my VS 2015.
Not only for VB, even for C#!
Tools / Options / Text Editor / Basic (or C#) - And there it is: The Line numbers checkbox
