Yes, correct, it just brought back memories of finding a fixed width text field of 4096 characters.
Admin
Are you sure it isn't that the replacement does not work the same way? (Better hope that string contains no control characters.)
Admin
Those are good knives. I've had mine for years.
Admin
I'm presuming it's a play on floccinaucinihilipilification.
Admin
I guess I am unfoxy, can someone please explain how this is true?
Admin
It multiplies the character's value by its position, summed over the whole string, then takes the last digit (decimal) of the sum as the check digit. Any character whose position is a multiple of 10 will result in a value whose last digit is 0, so the last digit of the sum won't be affected by those characters.

If you're gonna use SQL with FoxPro, why bother with FoxPro?
Admin
Probably because it was 1991 at the time.
Admin
QFT. There really weren't any real RDBMSes for PCs throughout the 1980s, IIRC, as it was seen as a mainframe thing and considered to be too demanding for home computers. Tacking on support for a few limited SQL expressions was one of the big selling points of FoxPro.
Admin
Heh.
Admin
All things are fox-related but otherwise worthless, because foxes are everything and they are the only worth in anything. :P
Admin
It may be too soon to make this call, but it looks like @accalia has been... puts on sunglasses... outfoxed!
Admin
-_-
really?
booo!
Admin
As far as I'm concerned, there's only one fox <for me> ;)
Admin
All are welcome to embrace the foxiness and become vulpine. But you better be somewhere in my family tree or one of the handful of others out there with the same name if you call yourself Fox :stuck_out_tongue:
Admin
The hedgehog does not, but the Sultanatrix of Swypos does.
I do not call myself Fox, but this is possible anyway. One of my great-great-aunts married a Henry Clay Fox in 1861.Admin
There is a fairly substantial chance that we are extremely distant cousins, as there are about half a dozen Henry Foxes in my direct family tree in the past 500 years, and a fair number of uncles that took their names.
Admin
I have to ask: How? Were there pitchforks involved?
Admin
I just got a mental image of a newborn baby dueling his father with a pitchfork. Thanks.
Admin
Nah, it was more like dueling with pens.
Admin
/me nods
that makes sense, but i myself find hedgehogs quite nice too, and i don't mean for dinner
Admin
Hedgehogs are nice, yes, but I generally prefer foxes :stuck_out_tongue:
Admin
be that as it may. this vulpine likes her hedgehog.
Admin
Well, as long as you can stand them when they're being stingy...
Admin
Admin
:hug:
:heart_eyes:
Admin
Foxes must be immune to pain.
Admin
either that or i've gotten good at being gentle with my hugs. :-P
Admin
Either that or you're both humans who pretend to be dumb animals because of broken psyches.
Admin
Yes, because that's the only explanation; it's not at all possible that it's something we do for fun
Admin
I'm going to pretend you did not just attack me in that manner.
I'm further going to pretend that you apologized to me for attacking me in that manner.
I know that that did, in fact, not happen and further, given my observations about your personality, is extremely unlikely to ever happen. Nevertheless I am going to pretend that it did happen.
Thank you, and have a good day.
Admin
Admin
Et tu, rat?
Admin
No, but if they talk as much as they type, their neighbors might wish to be deaf.
Admin
Why would he apologise for something he didn't do?
Admin
no, you don't understand.
I am pretending he did not do something he very much did.
I am further pretending that he apologized for something he very much did, regardless of the fact that i am pretending he did not do it.
I of course know that he would never apologize because he is incapable of admitting what he did is an attack, nevertheless i am pretending that he did so.
Admin
Pretending two mutually exclusive things? Do you believe six impossible things before breakfast too?
Admin
(On a related note:) Actually, believing impossible things is easier before breakfast. And even easier before the third cup of coffee.
Admin
I was going to "have a go" at this, but then I CBA because....1
Oh what the heck!
Ergo, they cannot be mutually exclusive QED
[1] Being a Pedant is hard work
Otherwise: :rofl:
Admin
you didn't analyze all of @accalia's post.
She said,
So she is pretending that he apologized for something.
OTOH, she sais she pretends he didn't do it, which clearly refers to "he apologized for [that same] something...".
So she pretends at the same time that he did something (to apologize) AND that he didn't do that same something. QED.
Admin
Ok, this is what has happened to the logic (for me), metaphorically (in a picture as it can be better than words) :smile:
[image]Admin
Yes, that is an adequate representation of what I tried to express with my logic. :giggity:
Admin
This is where you go wrong. The nastyThing exists regardless of whether @accy pretends it does or not. So they are not mutually exclusive. :fa_square:
Admin
I think I said that :)
Admin
More importantly, this entire debate of logic and pretending things is irrelevant, for the original attack (condemning pretending to possess nonhuman animal characteristics) is pointless, needless, groundless, and utterly unworthy of however many replies it has since spawned.
Admin
So says the bra-fox!
Settled.
Admin
Now that's what I call foxynaucinihilipilification!
Admin
It's actually the shadow of a chest ruff. It kinda does look like a bra when it's scaled down so far, though, so I'll give you that, dragon-rat.
