    Path of Exile

    I've lost a few witches on HC and sort of want to branch out to other builds. Can you guys recommend a melee build with high AOE damage and high survivability? Not looking for any totems.

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    I was actually thinking that last night, Err. i think pretty much confirms it. 95% of Lumi's posts seem to call somebody or something retarded.

    SQL performance tunning and DBA thread

    I work as an analyst in my companies finance department. I think that my managers are afraid of any products that are not in Microsoft Office suit; Excel functions are about the limit of their IT prowess. Although there are a number of deficiencies in the SQL functionality that I have access...

    SQL performance tunning and DBA thread

    Interesting stuff on indexing. So knowing this, would an index on small table PK join on large table FK cause significant speed gains? I suppose my other question could be posted as such: Why are is the bolded line of SQL below giving me such gains in query speed? It seems like the logic...

    SQL performance tunning and DBA thread

    I'm in a simlar situation, I love the database work, though. Good reporting and serious competancy in SQL have to go hand in hand. Here are a few questions while I'm here: In MS Access, does using subqueries confuse the JET query optimizer? Is there any general size threshold for deciding...

    Men's Fashion

    My general problem with the dress line is that they still have fucking ECCO embossed on the leather. I'm very anti-logo on my clothes.

    I have had these in Micro-Plush or Cashmere. I'm not sure if that fits your stipulation of 'non-lined', but I love them. I find the Micro-Plush wears a little better than cashmere; cashmere will flake off a bit and can rip easier. http://www.totes-isotoner.com/produc...urPicks&page=2

    Liquors & Cocktails

    Glenlivet 12 was my favorite for years, very drinkable beginner scotch. These days I favor the Macallan 12 or Glenlivet 15 more. Glenlivet 18 is good too, more expensive, though.

    Path of Exile

    Been playing this on HC with my free time for the last few days or so. It has been very entertaining and addicting, and feels much more like the successor to the Diablo series than D3 does. Just now ended up de-syncing and dying with no mobs within 40 or 50 feet of me. Sort of a bummer, but not...

    True regarding pleats. I suppose what I should have said is that you will see pleated pants occasionally accompanying a full suit, but in a stand-alone business casual get-up, they are rarely appropriate. From what I have seen, cuffs on pants are only applicable to pleats. As recently as last...

    Men's Fashion

    One last thing worth mentioning is the impact that shoes have on your casual-wear outfit. Wearing athletic sneakers all the time, while comfortable, really pigeonholes your ability to be stylish, especially in the winter. There are a number of things that look retarded while wearing athletic...

    Styleforum.net has a lot of great information. They tend to focus on very high end, but if you ignore this fact you can still learn a lot there. Saks Fifth Avenue outlet and Nordstrom Rack have great options for shoes at reasonable prices. Nordstrom itself has two big sales a year, one right...

    Pretty much same as Lemmi. This game looks like exactly what I've been looking for. Nirgon, I saw you post about HC D2 PVP and wanted to echo what you had said about it. I had dueling barbs for the first few ladders of 1.10 and the feeling in your gut when you were in combat with someone...

    95% on OP being HM. I actually might roll something here for fun, but last I remember, there was some oddity with a DLL that P99/R99 required you to run that had the potential to compromise personal info. Can anyone comment on what this is/was?

    Funny, Strange, Random Pics

    Funny question. I think that the confusion comes from the fact that the equation is written so lazily. 6/2(2+1) I tend to naturally view as 6/(2(2+1) assuming implied parenthesis, whereas in reality it is (6/2)*(2+1) or 6 / 2 * 3.

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    Does anyone know how the restoration of deleted accounts works on Test? I believe on Live, you actually need to have a Gold account status to have them perform this action. I know all accounts on Test are gold, but do I need a gold accounts on live to get a restore on Test?

    Sunglasses/eyewear

    I've been wearing glasses since I was in third grade up earlier this year when i got Lasik. Being a guy with a face that is not so broad, most standard mens glasses, especially sunglasses, fit me like shit. I've found that the only brand that fits me well at all is Prada, which is made by...

    Either will work in Access interface; if you were pushing the code through VBA you would need the single quotes.

    How is this possible? Access SQL ODBC result

    For one thing, it is a primary key, but for every order on that account, the order ID will show up as QWKHAA00F451. If I sort by the account ID associated with QWKHAA00F451, and manually use 'find' on sales order ID for QWKHAA01RSFT, nothing shows up, but if I click 'text filter' =...

    How is this possible? Access SQL ODBC result

    I am running a query in Access to an odbc linked table. The query is as such: SELECT sysdba_SALESORDER.SALESORDERID FROM sysdba_SALESORDER WHERE :emoji_nose:sysdba_SALESORDER.SALESORDERID)="QWKHAA01RSFT") ); The result is this: QWKHAA00F451 To me, this is like 1+1 = 3. This query only...

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    BTW Flunk, I really appreciate your updates on EQ Classic. I think this release is about the only thing that I would consider putting any serious gaming time into in the next 5 years. Your posts are about the only visibility into it that I have (I don't care to research it myself).

    Thank you Draegan, Goodbye FOH

    I actually had a lot of fun playing with Tyen on VZTZ. He was a terrible leader, but it was definitely fun none the less. Only thing you could rely on him for was to be 110% high at any given time and to be miss-allocating or lying about loot around every corner. I remember he once went to help...

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    The guy who's quote it was had his post edited by Piestro, so I wasn't sure who worded it. I actually think I've played with the OP before. Iksar monk I want to say? I've been playing this game for way too fucking long.

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    I know that this is just a quote but there are a hilarious amount of typos in this sentence. Also funny use of penultimate with no reference to what the ultimate spaghetti code would be.

    Thank you Draegan, Goodbye FOH

    Jesus, that's sad. I can't even imagine how many hours I spent surfing the FoH forums over the years. It's like watching the titanic sink. I knew it hit an iceberg, but I still can't fucking believe it.
