Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I keep forgetting - anyone here use ASP .Net?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I do. Sometimes.

eta: That is to say my level of expertise is rudimentary, but I have done some work in it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I have to take a DataList control and have an "export to Excel" option. But I found this page [link] that discusses various approaches, so I think I'm good. Hopefully.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I love how serious the explanations are.

I read about this soon after it was invented. It's nice to see that significant progress continues to be made....

I keep reading about solid state hard drives and I haven't seen much about the issue of maximum write cycles. That really spooks me when I think about swap files/partitions. Has the limited number of writes been addressed by SSD makers, or is that problem still out there?

This dude [link] says it's really not an issue.

Sounds like it is being addressed. The write limit used to be like 10,000 times, if it is going into the millions that will be much more comforting.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Continuing to try to make my iMac boot up, I have run into something I think is weird, but I'm not sure and I can't figure out how to search for it. When I start up in "Safe Mode" (ie, depressing the shift key at launch), I don't get to the GUI login screen, I get a command line environment. The directions I'm trying to follow to fix my original problem seem to imply that I should be getting to something that looks more or less like OSX.

Mean anything to anybody?
