• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Then it's not efficient for them to use it. I have nothing against people using Windows in general; I do have problems with people trying for quite a while to get something done the hard way when there's an easy and obvious solution to fix it. There's a point where it's easier and faster to...

    Google 'ubuntu' and burn a live CD. You can run Ubuntu from a CD; no idea about other distros.

    I wouldn't be surprised. It's either Vista or various programs you've installed. Or both.

    Probably because there's no reason to load up a bulky program and make lots of bulky files when they're freaking text-only.

    Um, yes, there's a difference. o_O Gee, I don't know, maybe if you were doing some sort of calculation involving long periods of time? :||| Date/time stuff and strings are stored differently. You can't get whatever it was originally back and if it wasn't supposed to be a date/time field...

    Excel uses the Julian calendar instead of Gregorian because they can't be assed to fix a bug with leap years, so they declared it a feature. There're other things -- it declares anything vaguely resembling a date/time field 'date/time' without prompting, which means that if you have something...
