I'm definitely going to run home and attach an accelerometer to his head and see if he's purring at 26 hertz!

Spoken like a true geek. But exactly how do plan on attaching the accelerometer to the cat? Tape? glue? Staples? That would annoy the cat and he would stop purring.

As title

I agree Stackoverflow is great for most SW developers - except LV developers. But exactly what is your background? What languages do you know already? Why do you want to learn C++ "graphic"? Just trying to help you out.

And since I was recently on the topic of Nikola Tesla this post also redirects to one of the most awesome Tesla pages I have read in a long time.

"Word"

I knew something was wrong with the spiritual harmonics of the universe. Seems the animal-level types have caused the handbells to go extinct. Animal-level types are breeding exponentially. Now this.

How could you have let that happen?! Been cat staff for very long?

I want one, but it is too expensive

Not a bad idea. Maybe offer a Black Friday discount on Premium memberships as well.

Tesla was a god.

NoNoNo!

I am thinking about like Ken in Street fighter. He puts his energy into a ball and release it out. Can we put charges into air, and control how it float to make a person shock in theory.

I think you need to read up on the works of Nikola Tesla .

Is it possible to group a lot of charges into a small volume and control its movement?

Sure. Go to your local hardware store and select a big value pack of batteries. Take them off the shelf. Put them in your cart. Buy it and bag it. Take it home. Take it to your room. You are in control of it's movement. Dance with it if you want. A car battery will give you a bigger charge but it's a lot harder to dance with.

Everything I've read about that peak says that violent thunderstorms are a daily occurence in the summer.

Mount Elbert is definitely an option. My SO is a Highpointer and he hasn't climbed that one, yet. 4000 feet up over 4.5 miles would definitely be a challenge for me. And I'd be sure to get off the mountain by early afternoon in order to avoid any hair-raising experiences.

Most mountain climbers in CO know the drill - leave early enough so you can start heading back before noon. But once in a while a storm pops up before noon.

Yes. I see it all the time. Maybe it's risky but I just swear under my breath and take the USB drive out anyway.

...Now on to figuring out what the next challenge is going to be ...

Mount Elbert. When I lived in CO years ago a friend/coworker climbed Mt Elbert with her brother and got trapped in a thunderstorm near the summit. They were both nearly killed. They literally ran for their lives down the mountain trying to get away from the energized air around them. She said their hair was standing on end. Challenging enough for ya'?

“Unfortunately, [ *.vi] that is file protected by copyright; the same laws that protect its contents, forbids us from using it. You could try to backup it, but it is not guaranteed to work without issues.”

This sounds like legal-ese. Maybe it's a standard response to a direct inquiry on a specific file type. If they had said "yea, sure, *.vi will store on our drives" then you had one of their drives crash and you lost VI's they might be afraid of liability.

...looks like LabVIEW in the picture...

It sure does. What a snooze-fest of a GUI.

And a happy belated 234th birthday to the USMC. Semper Fi!

OooRah!

November 11th is not only US Veterans Day, but also the anniversary of Armistice Day, so I extend the good thoughts further than just the USA forces.

Indeed. Thanks for your service.

Thank you Paul!

You are very welcome.

Happy Veterans Day. Thanks for your service.

I have a Labview for Everyone book 2nd edition. How can I find a CD learning of this book?

Thanks

I would invest in the latest (3rd) edition. Even that is a little dated since it was written for LV V8.0, but you will have more recent material and a CD.

I have on different projects had to use Excel ActiveX. My experience is: avoid it, you will get into trouble. The troubles are not unmanageable but frustrating, especially if you need to support different versions of Excel, different languages/localisations, and even different installation options. Maybe you know that you need to use ActiveX, but if you do not, consider using for example a tab-delimited text file, which Excel can read.

Indeed. Active-X Excel reports are a headache. If your boss can spring $500 for the Report Generator Toolkit from NI it will save you tons of grief and time. I am convinced that the report toolkit will pay for itself in saved time after the first couple of times you use it. Otherwise, like thols said, use a simple tab-delimited text file. Another option is to use the standard report generator VI's and make HTML documents you can save on your network.

Bugzilla is a little complicated. I had a very good experience with it though at the time because we had an IT guy that managed all of our software. Where I am now I set up Fogbugz on my own and have been using it for a few months. No problems at all. It was extremely easy to set up and it's very user-friendly.

Is it a strawberry pancake?

Umm, no.

... Here is a picture of my son with James Kring (He thinks James is a LV god) ...

What a cool photo. You and your son must be very proud of it.

Homeschooling ROCKS, BTW. Your kids are blessed.

I have no idea what that means (maybe that's the point?)... but it makes for an interesting mental picture...
