  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    In his defense, picking a Ph.D. thesis is not something to be taken lightly. My friends who have gotten degrees have all looked for ideas from their professors...

  • RE: Design Question

    Sandy,

    I don't believe you understood my point. The datatype has nothing to do with it. The problem is that sharing a single address between...

  • RE: Design Question
