Why, you always hide carefully when using one ? :p
No, but my hands spontaneously combust when they come near one.
I think it has something to do with my Apple allergies.
You're overreacting.

Blackboards can be created only when a partition is being initialized, that is, when the partition mode is anything but NORMAL. Processes can create as many blackboards as are supported by the memory that is pre-allocated for the partition's blackboards.

Okay, let's try for book 3.
A shared data region is an area of memory that can be accessed by more than one partition.
Boring. How about book 4? Hmm, no direct page numbers, guess I'll look for the first chapter with 65 pages.

That's where I keep my tech books, too! And what I do with them. But the bookshelf is back in my cubicle, and I'm in a class right now, which means the closest book to me is the only book I currently have in my bag (usually I also have a novel - often furry in nature - which I am reading, but I don't have one in there right now)
So, without further ado, this is the first sentence on Page 65 of Pocket Ref, Fourth Edition, by Thomas J. Glover:
Moisture content in wood affects both the size and strength of lumber.
It's a good thing I'm gay, otherwise this would probably be a terrifying description of my future love life. As it is, I think I just won at life.
Also, I was half expecting to have to make an HTML table (paging @abarker), so I really lucked out there.

Well, yes, definitely the E part, but I was looking at it as regular function, not Dysfunction.

But dysfunction has more humor potential. Plus we're talking about the future, and presumably a prescription for one of those means you have a reason to take it, which is a good thing.

This argument can also be turned round: if E = 0, then for an oscillator <EK> = <EP> = 0, which implies that both <p²> = 0 and <x²> = 0.

Status: Someone noticed that a bunch of files were missing in the daily export. From 7/29.
I have to wonder how this could have happened. "Hmm my daily file that I'm supposed to get wasn't here today. Oh well!" (months later) "Wait, where was my file that I was supposed to get daily!?!?"
: @Tsaukpaetra, Isn’t there some type of notification to tell you that the process died so you know to troubleshoot?
: If I’m checking the process status page every morning (which I don’t unless I’m looking for errors specifically), then I’ll see it.
: Otherwise, no, I don’t “get a notification”.
: I feel it is bad practice to rely on my physical presence to determine if something is wrong. It is a very bad idea to have me as the single watchpoint of failure.Sometimes... urgh.

I'm at work, so it's very likely that the nearest book would be work-related. However, I have no idea what the nearest book is about. The nearest book is in somebody else's office; I have no books of any kind in my office.

Status: Apparently Entity Framework doesn't put in rules for field length automatically in the default MVC configuration. Or something.
Since I'm only adding one entry, I make a few shortcuts and came up with this:
db.SYS_EMP_VALIDATION.Add(entry); try { db.SaveChanges(); } catch(System.Data.Entity.Validation.DbEntityValidationException ex) { string message = "Something went wrong while saving: Check for errors below."; System.Data.Entity.Validation.DbEntityValidationResult errors = ex.EntityValidationErrors.First(); foreach (System.Data.Entity.Validation.DbValidationError error in errors.ValidationErrors) { ModelState.AddModelError(error.PropertyName,error.ErrorMessage); } ModelState.AddModelError("Save",message); return View(entry); }
Now, instead of some unknown error about validation (which, really, should have been caught before my code, but whatever), I get something like this!
Sigh.

In theory, none. I might try doing an audit on some from the limited information I can get, just to see if any have been lifted in to recently.
