Well, perhaps a future enahancement to this VI would be to have an additional output boolean: "not empty path". This way, a simple OR function on our part can provide the complete functionality most commonly desired in test systems these days. An empty path is usually not desirable and can cause systems to throw errors most of the time. BTW, I didn't intend that my comment be an attack. It's just that it's really really wierd to see so many OpenG functions being duplicated within LV8.x.x. Perhaps it's just that NI's LV development team is noticing limitations in the current feature set just like we are.

It's nice to see that NI is "borrowing" some ideas from the community and including some functionality already available from OpenG. However, please do it right... The function located here: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2\vi.lib\utility\libraryn.llb\Check if File or Folder Exists.vi Returns a value of TRUE when fed an empty path. .

You should have tried: +image +web +Datascoket (spelling). However just plain "Datasocket" works too.

You could have just pointed them to this link: Downloading an image from a Web server using Datasocket From 3 years ago...

Keep dreaming.

In case you're still interested...

I always assumed this was the case in the past. So this means you will implement what everybody thought already happened? Sounds like a plan!

Hey, no skin off my back. That's why there are spell checkers and you can edit your post on LAVA for at least 24hrs after your post.

I think this is true for emails but not true for web publishing. Oh, wait a minute; you didn't realize you were publishing? Well, you are. As we speak, several websites are sucking in the LAVA RSS feed and displaying the posts on there front page. Your message is crawled by Google and Yahoo on a weekly basis and added to the archive of information which will be scanned by future researchers looking for help on LabVIEW programming or other strange keywords. Once it's out there baby, it's permanent. For the world to see.

You mean you didn't go to Disneyland Paris? Ah, shame.

I've been looking around at other forums to see how they handle homework hustlers. Apparently we are VERY generous here. On other sites, these types of questions are discarded to the trash and the members scolded and sometimes banned. I think our approach is a little better. At least we give them a chance to redeem themselves. As far as PM, or IM. That's a definite no-no and if a member feels they're being harassed in this way, let me know and I'll take care of it.

Ya, Google's really improving their satellite imagery.

Ok, then don't use the quick search. Use this or this. Or even this. Note the improvement to the Google Map? You can now see streets for Europe!

No offense but in the world of LabVIEW applications/systems, my opinion is that NI has a limited view of what real LabVIEW applications look like. I realize that you qualified your statement but I was also offended. There are many reason why you or other NI staff will never see good code. One of them is that a lot of developers including myself simply don't trust NI. You only see what we let you see. :ninja: .

All visitors regardless. From about 2 weeks ago.BTW, hooovahh, you need to shrink your signature. When it's bigger than your post contents then that's a sign it's too big.

I always find repeating myself: PLEASE READ THIS POST REGARDING THE USE OF IMAGES ON LAVA No external links to large images please.

LAVA Trivia: Among the visitors of the LAVA website, can anyone guess the percentage of IE vs. FF users?

Actually, this thread will do wonders for my Google ranking. Everyone misspelling LabVIEW will get led right to LAVA.

how about labwiev?

Another option is to put yourself out there into the community. Some of us around here have done that and are still doing it. Put together some code and submit it to the CR. It will make you feel better. Nothing beats the warmth of the LAVA flow...

No, not me. I have given up on built-in spell checker feature for the future. So has Invision (the makers of the forum engine). FF2.0 has spell checking built-in. Time for you to upgrade. Also, the Google toolbar gives you spell checking on any browser. Get a tool that does spell checking for you in any browser on any web page.

From personal experience, the smaller the children the easier it is. As they get older, they start to have (god forbid) friends and (even worse) boyfriends. Then it gets emotional.

In my experience, there are three things that will get you into a company for an interview: Networking, Networking and Networking. The only LabVIEW job I had to send in a resume cold, was my first one. That's because I didn't have much LabVIEW experience. Since then, I only speak directly to upper management. It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears (how to be an expert) to get to the level I am today, but it's paying off in that I can "pick and choose" my employers. The older, and more experienced you are, the less important your education credentials. Of course, there's always the chance to be over-qualified. For some reason, the only way to get paid lot's of money is to become a manager (and abandon programming ). The only problem is I love LabVIEW too much to give it up. Don't get me wrong, I'm subjected to interviews and tests like anyone else. I just don't get subjected to HR filtering. Wouldn't you feel like crap knowing I applied for a job at your company and you never knew about it because HR thought I wasn't qualified?
