Does this make the Civic Duty badge the Medal of Honor (or a lesser award)? :-)

@SimonAndréForsberg what?! Is that zombie looting?

@Malachi your answer does look prettier. Actually it's better, but I'm out of votes...

Yeah CR has seen a bunch of highly valuable members join recently. At this rate we'll not only have a decent answered%, but also a bunch of hi-rep users to sustain the site - i.e. there's a chance CR could enter 2014 as a grown-up/graduated SE site!

OK, no one is allowed to post any good answers for the next 9 hours, I'm out of votes! Can't @Jamal Hit a pause button or something to freeze the site for a while until I get more votes?

@SimonAndréForsberg It's not begging, it's publicizing answers so people know where to find answers on old questions that have zero upvoted answers - @Jamal what's your take on this?

A: Deleting folders is a risky business

When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. You're trying to do something with code, that's not the code's job. Delete all this code and tackle the problem at the root: make sure your code runs with the appropriate permissions. It's that simple. -- My humble opin...

@Malachi this.TItem = vbNullstring verifies if the list has a type already - if the list instance wasn't ever specified a type, it takes any type it's given, but then when adding more items to that list instance, the items must be of that same type.

retailcoder

Nov 17, 2013 20:03

@Malachi I'm really not a guru (at least I don't perceive myself as such), the bit-shifting work-around-the-long-integer-overflow code was way beyond my skill level - as for the syntax you're mentioning, it's because VB is stupidly using = as both a comparison and an assignation operator. It's equivalent to IsTypeSave = (this.TItem == vbNullstring || this.TItem == TypeName(value))

@Jamal I cracked up at the 2nd one (well the 2nd one I upvoted, i.e. the 1st one you listed here) - you actually sort your #includes alphabetically? Damn I need your Canadian clone on my team!
