You've got far too much time on your hands...

For those wonder what the hell Mike's drooling over: ......................Boomer

You forgot: 5 straight nights of solid drinking

Sure is - and it's also another reason to get yourself down to NI-Week and have a beer with us!

I think that comparing LCOD and GOOP is like comparing apples and oranges. Sure, both methods allow you to encapsulate data in a private way, but I can't see a way of instansiating objects using the LCOD method, which (for me at least) is the main reason to use OO (that's where the scalability comes in - check out this for an introduction). There's also several other benefits to OO, inlcuding the ability to use inheritance from parent classes, etc... That said, many (but not all) GOOP engines use LCODs in their object repositories, so you could argue that OO extends the LCOD paradigm even further...

You're lucky there's a swear filter on LAVA...

Another reason why Cricket matches go for five days (unless Australia is playing )

...and the sounds of battle were really really quiet - I appreciate that sort of detail.

I'd do anything for a Tooheys Old right now...

Here's something I didn't know - thanks Darren!

A polymorphic VI is just a collection of like VIs (like a a library). As always, the best place to start is to RTM (under the help menu).

No worries - that's how you learn I hope that you'll be able to teach us a thing or two one day!

Because of demand - if enough people want the OpenOffice toolkit and it produces enough of a ROI, then I'm sure NI would consider it. I just don't think there are enough people that are using both OpenOffice AND LabVIEW to make it worth their financial while. That said, there's nothing stopping you from writting such a toolkit - in fact, if you need help, it could be an appropriate OpenG project.

Which leads us to this story... (note the correct spelling of "arse" )

Hey - how is Pat? He's a top bloke!

You what?!?!?

Absolutely - sorry guys, but I've been pretty flat out with the new job recently - I hope to get back into the swing of things soon...

Glad to have helped! :laugh:

Not that I'm standing up for Fosters (no fair dinkum Aussie would ever do that ), I have had it in the USA and the recipe is certainly different - still not great, but much better that the brew at home (then again, maybe I was spoilt for choices in Australia). My beer of choice in Oz is Toohey's Old, and my beer of choice in the USA is Shiner Bock (when I can get it) - they're very similar. I'm not in Oz at the moment - I grew up in the bush here, and spent most of my professional life here, but now I'm here working for them.

Can't say I've ever known an Aussie that thirsty! Yes, that saying is used a lot, often in variations like: "I'm so thirsty I'd drink Fosters" or "I'm so thirsty I'd drink yank beer"

G'Day jdebuhr and welcome! I think you'll find a lot of really useful stuff here on LAVA (if you're not into visiting the site every day, there's an excellent RSS component for Outlook that you can get - more info here). You'll also notice that we have a bit of fun right here in the LAVA lounge too. I'm in Farmington Hills (not far from Detroit), so if you're ever over this way, be sure to hit me up for a :beer: or two!

I don't know how valuable that would be - I'm more than happy with the little 113 element version, as if what I'm looking for is way above that, then I'm probably going to find it in the LabVIEW help and just wire in an I32 anyway. That said, it does improve code readability...

I suppose I should have finished my sentance: "I don't think I could drink that much beer, but I'll give it a go!"

Mel should be back and smiling now - sorry for the interruption, and in Kermit's famous words: "We now return you to your regular scheduled programme..."

They're working on it...
