[NF] Gig at NASA?

How are your Assembler, FORTRAN and ALGOL skills, specifically on 50 Khz General Electric 18-bit TTL CPUs, with single register accumulator and bit-serial access to 2096-word plated-wire RAM? http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/10/30/has_voyager_1_escaped_the_sun_yet_yes_but_also_no_say_boffins/

Re: [NF] Gig at NASA?

Hey, it's my youth !! I began to work with HP9810, HP9820 and HP9830 'microcomputer'. Then I built a clock with Intel 4004 microprocessor. It was only 230Khz and yes only one accumulator. I learnt Fortran a little further by reading a book "computer programming, techniques analysis and ?"

Re: MS WILL deliberately auto-install Windows 10

What do you mean by "non-consumer editions"? This isn't about forced updates to Windows 10 once you have Windows 10 installed. This is about duping people who are running Win 7 or 8 into allowing the actual Win 10 OS to be installed on those boxes. That is, replacing their OSes, not just

RE: [NF] Gig at NASA?

When I saw your posting this morning - on my Cell - and all I initially saw was the Subject line - I thought to myself - "Awesome - a FoxPro job at NASA! I always Wanted to be in Space Program." Alas - I was sadly mistaken. Although I did Fortran back in my college days, along w/Assembler - I

Re: Using Outlook

That's likely it. There was a time when Word was the default rich text editor for Outlook, and that spawns a copy of Word in the background. Have the client disable this option, and it's likely the problem will go away. On Fri, Oct 30, 2015 at 5:15 AM, Alan Bourke

Well - since the poster - and the Article did NOT specifically mention FoxPro - its for that reason that it should be marked [NF]. But - what's a drop of an [NF] tag between friends - not a big deal I should think... -K- -Original Message- From: ProfoxTech

[NF] Network Discovery Broken; Missing Assumptions?

Hi folks, I have been going nuts for the past week researching this on the web and discussing it with our IT consultants. I am not getting the results I would like. I thought maybe some people here could fill in the missing links. "Network discovery" is the process that enables some devices

RE: [NF] Network Discovery Broken; Missing Assumptions?

Ken, If you have the latest and greatest Avast running then effectively you DO HAVE a firewall running, albeit not by name. The latest versions of Avast have packed in so much more than the standard AV software that they are in danger of becoming a "Norton AV" and bloating themselves out of all

Wow - that was a LONG time ago. You left SDC in '64 whilst I left the Womb in '63. Gosh - I don't feel so old anymore! :-) That being - at the co. where I work here - in the Developers area - I'm probably one of the oldest here. Of my team of 5 FoxPro dev's - I think 2 of them are older than

s this necessarily a Microsoft issue? Aside from the client PC's it's all a third-party implementation of SMB that you have. Did anything in CentOS get updated? CentOS has not been updated since it was installed on the machine something like 7 years ago. At a prompt on Windows 7 what does

Re: [NF] Gig at NASA?

ALGOL was my first high-level (i.e., not assembler) language. Actually it was JOVIAL (Jules Own Version of IAL), an ALGOL clone built at System Development Corp in 1960, for whom I worked at the time. When I left SDC in 1964 I used real ALGOL on the Burroughs B5500 series. I continued

Re: [NF] Network Discovery Broken; Missing Assumptions?

Troubleshooting heterogenous Microsoft networks is notoriously difficult, and good practitioners who can nail all the issues with the varied protocols, versions, etc, are hard to find and worth their weight in platinum. I've seen similar issues with "Network Discovery" and just worked around them.

Re: [NF] Network Discovery Broken; Missing Assumptions?

I would just suggest you build a table that lists of the machines in your network, and when you want to access any one of these, you pop up that list and have it run. explorer.exe \\machinename It's even easier than that. It can be done using Word 2010, and easily edited to add new
