When Association Football was being codified the original draft of the rules by the FA included
Quote: X. If any player shall run with the ball towards his adversaries' goal, any player on the opposite side shall be at liberty to charge, hold, trip or hack him, or to wrest the ball from him, but no player shall be held and hacked at the same time.
this was the most contentious rule to be dropped with the FA's first treasurer saying "hacking is the true football" and resigning from the organisation when it was removed.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I program as a hobby (using VS12) and I have an entertaining program I would like to share. Trouble is I am not a "verified programmer". How do I become one? I would also like to share the source code. It has all kinds of goodies I'd love to discuss. To get an idea of what it does, go to my web site
"http://www.mirrorgrindingmachine.com/Rainbow/
and click on the *.jpg file.

You don't need to be a verified programmer just certifiable.
If you have a look at this http://www.codeproject.com/info/Submit.aspx[^] it should give you enough to go to the next step.
Anything that may be of interest to other programmers put together into a coherent form is suitable I would think.

I think "certifiable[^]" is an accurate description of most of us here!

I suggest that you start by not making your first post since you joined (three years ago) so closely resemble spam...
Then write an article on it: that allows you to share discussions about how it works, as well as the source code.

But I'd edit your message and take out the site link, before it starts picking up "spammer" votes which could risk your account.

I got MSDN from my company, so I got it...
But another friend doesN'T have MSDN account from his company... So he doesN'T have VS2013!
(For his personal use I mean)
MSDN is a bit prohibitively priced for hobbby purpose...
Seeing as VS is tied to one's MSDN account, I wonder how one got to have VS2013 at home?!
(when one doesn't have an MSDN account from one's company, that is!)

Perhaps Express? Or via DreamSpark?
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Can you web dev with Express? That's his favorite topic?
Gona investigate that! Thanks!

|

Yup. Visual Web Developer... oh sorry, renamed as Express for Web[^]. You'd be hard pressed (IMO) to tell it apart from the full beast.

WebDev will do the trick for him! 
Also, here at work, they somehow get a version of VS which doesn't require login?!
(it's a government facility, NOT the one known as Area 51 though!  )

You can get the free Express editions here[^].

Cool! WebDev is what he wants!

My thanks. I could have found it myself but now I'm motivated.

Well.. VS is the best for WPF editing!
But.. one need MSDN to have an edition of VS editing WPF... 
Might have to try SharpDevelop again.. (just for fun, I have VS 2013 )

Pro doesn't support WPF?
(VS 2010 Express is still good enough for what I use VS for.)

Of course Pro supports WPF!
I wonder how hobbyist who don't have MSDN do!
Hey, Express C# might have it, doesn't it? M...

I have no idea; I don't use WPF.

I volunteered to help a friend of the wife's last week with computer problems. The workstation belongs to a local church and contains years of business information. The workstation refuses to boot. Plugging the drive in as a slave starts chkdisk which reports that the master file table is corrupt, and aborts. The drive is not accessible through explorer, which reports the same error. I was able to recover all files on the disk using photorec however, it meant losing filenames and directory information. I am about to dig out the old XP CD's and try a repair. Has anybody had any luck fixing a corrupted master file table? Google results on this one look pretty grim. The sad thing is, this is a pro-bono job, and I already have a few hours in it. (not counting the 16 hours it took to recover the files to another disk) Here goes nothing....

Did you do the fdisk /fixmbr
|
|
|
|

Tried it. I finally dug out the XP Home CD and have given up hope on anything but a re-install so that I can at least give them the computer back running with their recovered data on DVDs. Formatting now,... I suppose I am past the point of no return. With any luck all they really need are the quickbooks files and office documents.

Either the disk failed, or they turned off the computer without shutting it down. If you even suspect the disk failed, replace it. Microsoft is so poor at dealing with failed disks that it can't ever be reliable on anything but a fully functioning one (XP let me install it to a drive where the heads were glued to the platter and never once squawked about any kind of problem.. it didn't even take longer to install). Oh, and make sure you format it for NTFS
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.
