Then fill in for him. Here's a thought to play with, maybe not for a day: "He who laughs last - may be deranged."
Of course, it isn't the same kind of thought, but a thought is still a thought.

A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband.
Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen.
'Careful,' he said, 'CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh my gosh! You're cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter. Oh my gosh! WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER? They're going to STICK! Careful. CAREFUL! I said be CAREFUL! You NEVER listen to me when you're cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! Are you CRAZY? Have you LOST your mind? Don't forget to salt them. You know you always forget to salt them. Use the! Salt. USE THE SALT! THE SALT!'
The wife stared at him. 'What in the world is wrong with you?You think I don't know how to fry a couple of eggs?'
The husband calmly replied, 'I just wanted to show you what it feels like when I'm driving.'

And he said that while she had a frying pan in her hand?

I am living that scenario, and have been for 40 years or so!
Not sure whether to laugh or cry at this. Perhaps I'll do both.

I haven't been married for 15 years or so but my current SO and I don't argue because we've learned; 1) to pick our fights and 2) we've learned how to fight, plus we're very compatible.

I'm also living it, though she found it screamingly funny because she realized it straight away.

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

I posted this (what I thought was a simple) question to a DevExpress forum:
Is it possible to change the default font in the report designer from Times New Roman to MS Sans Serif for all new reports?
I got back this:
To achieve this goal, you can use the MakeChanges method as follows:
with this code
private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
XtraReport1 report = new XtraReport1();
designer.DocumentOpened += Designer_DocumentOpened;
report.CreateDocument();
designer.DocumentSource = report;
}
private void Designer_DocumentOpened(object sender, ReportDesignerDocumentEventArgs e) {
var report = e.Document.Report;
e.Document.MakeChanges(changes => {
changes.SetProperty(designer.ActiveDocument.Report, x => x.Font, new System.Drawing.Font("Calibri", 9.75F, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, ((byte)(0))));
});
}
I mean, huh????
So I just posted this back
No no no - This isn't a coding issue
I want to have all new reports use MS Sans Serif 10pt instead of Times New Roman. Is there no settings somewhere where I can change this??
To be even more clear, when I click File => Add New => DevExpress Report, and the designer opens, I want the default font for all report objects to be MS Sans Serif 10pt instead of Times New Roman.
Apparently I have to break it down for them. Lets see what they come up with next.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Now, where the heck is the "Format / layout issues" button when you need it?

I have observed on several if not many if not all occasions recipients of written communication even re/ technical matters to a technical audience is not responded to in the expected manner despite my best efforts at clarity - Cheerio

You sent a question to tech support and they answered (knowing DevExpress, probably within 24 hours) and provided code that would've solved your issue.
That's more than most support forums I've been on.
How dare they
I've worked with DevExpress in the past and their support was always quick and on point, one of the best I've seen.
No doubt they'll answer your question pretty soon

According to the article link below people are utilizing weak passwords even in critical environments What I do not understand is why the software permits such as password strength I presume can easily be calculated and so the weak prohibited Voila Problem Solved There must be a logical reason which eludes me otherwise this obvious solution would be in place I seek your kind and knowledgeable assistance - Cheerio
These systems are facing billions of attacks every month as hackers try to guess passwords | ZDNet[^]
|
|
|
|
|
Because companies employ people who do not understand how to manage password security. So their applications get hacked.
|
|
|
|
|
It seems my question is not clear I will attempt to restate it here I do not understand why people need to be involved in the management of password security as it seems to me it can be automated More specifically when a person first enters a chosen password to create an account the software can calculate its strength as I know some sites do and reject it if it is found to be weak which I have never observed occur as I always utilize strong passwords - Cheerio

|
|
|
|
Yes, but the software to do it needs to be written by somebody.

4 out of 5 customers I worked with set me a password, sent it to me and didn't allow me to change it. Said password was terrible weak, some were even <companyiworkedfor>Year!
Also "T3rr1Bl3Fuçkf4c€" would be considered a strong password, while it's weaker than "Thesiegeandinvestitureofbaronvonfrankensteinatthecastleofweissiria"

I've got a couple of FTP servers that used to get bombarded with dictionary attacks all the time. I took two steps to eliminate the vast majority of attacks:
0: IP Deny rules for China
1: A few fake accounts (Administrator, Administrador, Administrateur) with passwords such as admin, password, and 12345. These are read-only ftp accounts with a nice passwords.txt file with some choice words for the bastards.
IMHO, there should be much harsher penalties for any hackers/theives who get caught...maybe start with removing a digit or two.

That is ingenious idea. Why not make the downloadable files include a trojan virus?
|

|

You make the download files send just a few bytes every few seconds. Just make sure you have limits(1) on how many connections you allow to the fake accounts.

Nope - death is the only punishment that will work. Make sure it's by hanging and that there's a live stream of the courtyard.

I think removing the head from the shoulders would be a better solution.
