It was a meeting place for about 54,000 people. :
“The Atheist Republic private group has been a home to me for two years and now it's gone… Atheist Republic has successfully given voice to men and women from all over the world who risk death to be among like-minded friends. I've witnessed suicides prevented and several meetings that resulted in marriage. This was a group providing a necessary safe harbor for everyone from the LGBT community to atheists living in Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and other countries, where atheism can potentially lead to death sentences. These people were my family and now they're just gone… Please, I want my home back,” said group member Joe Bullington.

Very interesting.
I don't care.
Facebook is hardly an indispensable resource. The can move en masse within days to one of the hundreds of other "social networking" solutions, and will obviously be better off for having done so, so they have no right to demand sympathy.
I repeat: I don't give a bugger.
They can deal with their petty little problems, and I won't bother them with mine.

Not being on the site, I can't confirm, but I'd bet that there are many atheist groups accessible from outside those countries.

Well, I think it is quite the opposite. If you don't even believe in God, then how could you mix with facebook?

I don't. And I don't.

There's an official FSM page. Maybe they haven't worked out that it's a spoof religion?!!!

And don't forget to post only relevant parts of your code. No code dumps!

Hello All, I am in need of help with a business inventory tracking database. I have already designed the data tables etc. I just need some way to attach to it. Preferably without using a webpage. Does anyone have any thoughts here? What would use to connect? It seems like it should be fairly simple.

First, you need to connect your own mind to the pinned post at the top of this Forum whose title is:
"Posting rules for The Lounge [modified] Pin"
Second, when you understand what this Forum is for, and what it is not for, then remove this inappropriate message, and post a question on one of CP's QA forums, or one of the other forums, like the ASP.NET forum, or the database forum.
You may wish to search CodeProject before you post your question, since there are many great tutorials here on databases, ASP.NET, many useful tip/tricks, etc.
I am sure you will find people here glad to assist you.

It may be very close to the hardware, but I have been using a bidirectional data bus[^] for such problems for many years now.

HI ALL,
I reading a book "C++ in Action". it mentions that we(human) only have two methods: divide and conquer, abstraction. Do you agree?

No.
If it's wrong about that, it will be wrong about other things, so don't bother to read the rest.

Do not read programming books that mix too much personal philosophy with the subject!

Divide and Conquer, and Abstraction are the same concept.
If we are looking at something too complex to immediately understand as a single whole, we understand a subsection of the whole, by ignoring the remainder.
Divide and conquer is ignoring the horizontal breadth of the system, and understanding a small vertical section from top to bottom.
Abstraction is understanding the horizontal breadth of the system, but not from top to bottom.
I would argue there is an additional way of understanding a complex system. Formally. Balls crashing around a pool table may initially look too complex to understand, but by applying a few simple Newtonian formulas to some of the basic properties of the system, it's complexity can be revealed to be quite simple. (Until someone starts hitting balls close to the speeds of light)

In practice, complexity is usually handled by not handling it and just letting the next guy deal.

No, unfortunately there is also a third, very large fraction of people, known as the Forces Of Chaos. They don't divide, conquer or abstract anything. Instead they prefer to produce endless unstructured spaghetti code, no matter how unmaintainable this mess becomes.
