Today's going to be fun for me! My sister has (had) a MXP and it hasn't been charging right for a while now. When I got my Essential I took my MXP over to her, she hasn't wanted to set it up because I don't know why.

She called me a bit ago asking how to get her stuff to my phone because hers wasn't charging and the charger was hot. She needed her contacts and calendar for work. Like now. In the middle of telling her to start by putting her SIM in the phone (but NOT YET) and letting it find service the line went dead. LOL, she missed the the not yet part I guess. After a minute or five she called from the emergency Tracfone, I walked her through how to remove my accounts and add hers. She has her calendar and contacts and all of my Nova settings complete with pumpkin icons with no titles under them. She gonna be so lost and confused.

So yeah, she'll be calling and complaining all day, but she has a phone she can use so whatever! UGH

You can pick your nose, but not your relatives. Both are snotty.

She's not snotty, just...ummm...her LOL
It's been radio silence so far, that's either good or bad but I'm OK with it either way.

I thought it went "you can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friends nose."

To those that celebrate, Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you all get to fill your bellies with holiday delights and that you get along (as well as possible ) with family and friends.

To those less fortunate I hope you enjoy your holiday and that fate smiles upon you.

To those that DON'T celebrate, I'm gonna have a long weekend and enjoy it, I hope you all do to.

Party on Wayne.
Party on Garth.
Sccchhheyea as if?

Nerd kudos to you, if you can spot the syntax error.

Last night a DJ saved my life.

Sam Cooke "Having A Party" Lyrics:
We're havin' a party
Dancin' to the music
Played by the DJ
On the radio
The Coke's out in the icebox
Popcorn's on the table
Me and my baby
We're out here on the floor
So Mr, Mr. DJ
Keep those records playin'
'Cause I'm a-havin' such a good time
Dancin' with my baby
Everybody's swingin'
Sally's doin' the twist now
If you take requests I've
Got a few for you
Play that song called soul twist
Play that one called I know
Don't forget the mashed potatoes
No other songs will do
Let me tell you Mr, Mr. DJ
Keep those records playin'
'Cause I'm a-havin' such a good time
Dancin' with my baby
We're havin'…

For me and my students' benefit, what is the syntax error?

You must enclose the literal string in quotes

cout << "hello" << endl;

Unless of course you have a variable named hello, but the code doesn't declare one.

Come on! Hurry up and get here!

Apple need to sack their MacOS test team. This is just about the worst security bug I've ever heard.

"He found that by entering the username "root", leaving the password field blank, and hitting "enter" a few times, he would be granted unrestricted access to the target machine."

Have we tried this on the z-max pro?

 

[lunatic59]

Make sure you set your root password to "12345"
