...and we got nothing!

Please please please send some of it this way! We've had a mid-Atlantic winter here and I'm sick of it!

Actually, the 70% is interesting - I don't know how much my publisher gets right now, but I get 10% of the sale price if it's bought in the US directly form the publisher (ie: through their website) and 5% for all other sales (eg: through Amazon, all international sales, etc). I doubt that much of the 70% will filter back down to the authors.

Yeah - the courts are pretty hard to come by over here, whereas there aren't any racquetball courts back home that I know of. I remeber once tweeting that I was going to play racquetball and getting crap from my Australian friends and family, as well as a slew of poms, that my integration into American society was now complete Squash has more rules, is played with a racquet with a longer shaft and smaller head, and the ball is much smaller and slower (so you do more quick direction changes and running in my experience).

It depends on what I'm in the mood for. IMHO squash takes more skill and strength, but racquetball is good for a bit of fun for less-cordinated folk (that's why I like both ) I grew up playing squash, but I haven't found a lot of squash courts around here (or players for that matter...)

I'm the same - I'll take an hour on the squash or racquetball court over 20 mins on a treadmill anytime.

I just opened your attachment, and I don't see any classes... Did you forget to add them? And you didn't add "MAIN.vi" either. All I see is a lvproj...

I know, I know, I'm sorry, but you can't say I didn't warn you!

Good stuff mate - glad to hear it. Now if only I could get on a program like that - I could do with the exercise motivation

Hey Bob - how are you doing mate? I hope you're still doing okay...

An eBook reader is looking more and more like my wife's next birthday present - but don't tell her I said that!

I can't argue with that

I think that if Kindle (or whatever eBook) had a try-before-you-buy program then they'd sell a while lot more. I agree with most ppl here - I'm more of a tactile person and I shied away from such devices, but when I actually got one and used it for a while I was amazed with just how good it was. Yes, I can't physically dog-ear pages, but I can do it vritually (tagging - actually, it's better than dog-earring, as you can tag a word in the page - no more I'm-so-tired-but-I-gotta-keep-reading-until-I-get-to-the-end-of-a-paragraph-so-I-know-where-to-pick-up-from). Besides, really popular titles like those shown below are available in both print and electronic format, so where can you go wrong?!? btw: eBook readers don't just display eBooks - they can display pdf files, rtf files, and more... He also drank Earl Grey tea in the morning, without a slice of lemon - luddite!

I apologise in advance for this, but it's something I saw a couple of years ago, and we're all thinking it:

I haven't seen a lot of ebooks, but I was amazed by both the Kindle and the Panasonic readers - the screens are amazing.

From here.

Does the file have the "needs-lock" property set?

Maybe, although newbies (and oldbies for that matter) rarely read the rules - they just expect each forum to operate the way the other ones do, so I'm not sure that would dramatically reduce the support tickets. Oops! No idea why that happened, but I'll see if I can reinstate you... Okay - you should be a mod now - welcome back!

I think that locking particular forums for newbies isn't the answer for a couple of reasons: the mods will be swamped by "why can't I post in LabVIEW General?" support tickets, and newbies might actually have something appropriate to put into LabVIEW General, and I wouldn't want to stop them from doing that. Our current policy is that it's the mods' responsibility to move newbies' posts out of LabVIEW General and into a more appropriate place and let the poster know that it's been moved if required. Maybe our mods have become a little too busy to keep that up recently. Maybe we need a couple more volunteers to move posts? I know that there's still a lot of posts in the LAVA 1.0 Content section that need moving - anyone volutneering?

100s turn out at global warming protest rally:

I use "Write Panel to INI__ogtk.vi" and "Read Panel from INI__ogtk.vi" a fair bit. Looks like François beat me to it

That's good stuff. A lot of us know when a UI put in front of us is good or not, but few of us can point to tanglible and scientifically-backed up reasons for our reaction. UI design is a personal interest of mine, and this article puts one element in simple, but eloquent, terms.

Right here.

LabVIEW RT used to come in two flavours: ETS (the way it is now - RT running on a target) and ETS (the method you linked to above).

Depends if you're eating lamb. Oh, and if you're from New Zealand. New Zealander's always wish they were Aussies - they don't need a special day for that.
