ok, so what is your point exactly? is it that you don't believe in climate change? the PICTURES OK? that you posted seem to show that there is continuous change. stop yelling please, btw. is it that you don't like the consequences that this climate change may have to your lifestyle? that's political, so don't complain about a couple of scientists gone bad. they're bad people, we all agree; doesn't necessarily mean the science is bad. is it that you don't share the political views of the people stressing this climate change, global warming? nobody likes being lied to (whether or not this is happening here). wake up, happens all the time. if you want to keep this discussion 'clean', you should also make clear why this is such a big issue for you. if it is a political thing it would be best if we stopped this discussion pretending we're scientists, because the "data" I've seen sofar in this discussion (pro or con) is laughable at best. what's even worse: it doesn't take a scientist to draw these graphs. it doesn't mean anything, pro or con without proper source and justification.

Just tell them you're a physicist. That seems to end the conversation pretty abruptly.

Paul didn't ask you to criticize the graphs only to look at them.

First, Norm, thanks for the kudos. This was born of a desire to have a pure G app interface/control scheme similar to ActiveX, hence the name. And no, I didn't name it, but it managed to stick. I'm not going to add anything to his post. He explains it pretty well. If you decide you want to look at this technique further and need some more guidance, I'm sure one of us will help you out. Second, while VI server can be a bit tricky, the discussion is making it over complicated. Here is what you need in your EXE's ini to make it work: [your ini] Yes, that's right. Nothing. Of course that's an oversimplification, because then you have to manage the VI server settings within your application yourself (setting it enabled, setting port, setting machine access, setting VI access, etc.). The defaults will be port=3363, server=off, machine access=localhost, VI access=*. If you are at all concerned about security, that may be your best bet. If not, the following settings may be a little more reasonable: [your ini] server.tcp.port=xxxx server.tcp.enabled=true That will set your port and enable VI server. Machine access will default to localhost and VI access will default to * (all VI's accesssible) If you want to set only specific VI's as accesible than add the line: server.vi.access="{your VI names/patterns}" To change machine access settings, add a line like this: server.tcp.acl="290000000A000000010000001D00000003000000010000002A10000000030000000000010000000000" -> This is the value to give all machines access. You can set all this in your project properties and it will be part of your ini when you build. If you go with the small exe, then the technique Norm describes will work great for you. No need to periodically monitor a file. Just send a message directly to the app. Or simply just run a VI remotely to load/launch your main VI. Also, it is possible to load/run your main VI directly into your small app (from say an llb build) to do the work if you didn't want to launch a separate exe. Lots of options... - Scott

WE can (and may) discuss this for days and generate a lot of clever and witty posts but in the end the common non-scientist amoung us can have a hard time deciding who to believe. I am bracing for the cocktail party where after answering what I do for a living them asking the follow-up question (paraphrasing form Glenda ?sp? from the Wizard of OZ") "Are you a good witch or a bad witch?"

[set humour in the midst of an disaster mode = true] That bump at 32,000 years ago represents the "Global Tree Crisis" where the false rumour spread that climbing and living in trees resulted in global warming from the branches rubbing together. The result was that man moved down out of the trees an learned to stand up-right so he could see the next scam coming from a distance. [set mode real] It does not take a scientist to understand those graphs. I don't like being lied too and those plots illustrate the lie we have been fed. I have to confess that part of my discontent is in the fact that I am being lied too. Ben

And there's no signature on this article... and no references about where those graphs came from.

OK. Just look at the pictures. The pictures are the graphs. I know graphs are boring and are not as much fun as pictures of bunnies and puppies and kittens but they are still PICTURES. OK?
