Movie Quote Of The Day
Maybe my life hasn't been so chaotic. It's just the world that is and the only real trap is getting attached to any of it. Ruin is a gift. Ruin is the road to transformation.
Which movie?

mental or physical ?
|
|
|
|

Any would work, physical would make the movie less awkward 
EDIT: If done properly

I want to download visual studio community edition[^] but all I can find is an installer. I am on 4G with a limited bandwidth of 20GB per month so huge downloads can be very expensive. What I would like to do is download it at a friend's place, who has unlimited bandwidth, onto my 2TB portable drive and then install at home.
Does anybody have the link where I can do so?

Continuing a thread (found HERE[^] on CodeProject) from 20 months ago; I want a smart thermostat.
30-to-60 minutes of web serfing led me to super hi-tech units with attendant high prices.
When I do find lower priced units, I frequently see, "Not for use with baseboard heating systems".
What does that matter ???!!!???
I think that's what I have here. Electrical Strips in a metal housing along the baseboards.
What I want is a thermostat which I can tell...
-- to raise the temperature about 30 minutes before I wake up
-- that I'm going out for about 3 hours, warm the place back up then
Am I really asking too much ? What do I do now ?

It matters because of thermal inertia.
So if they can't handle it they aren't as smart as they claim.
|
|
|
|
|
Never heard of thermal inertia. Just looked it up. I don't understand why a "smart" thermostat has any trouble with it when my 30+ year old unsmart thermostat knows the difference between 50 and 80

Instead of trying to answer here, it would turn into a short story, I'll refer to reading about PID regulators[^].
There's plenty more info on the net, but this is a good starting point.
Anyway the best regulators have not one point of measure (air temp), but three, Air temp, floor temp and outdoor temp.
And they don't learn just when you want high and low temperatures, but also the thermal inertia in your floor and how much energy loss you have to the outside and can compensate immediately when the outdoor temp goes down.

Okay
Thanks
My education will continue
This sure is complicated just for a thing that will turn the heater off for 3 hours

In Germany we got that stuff for some €s, but its only for one radiator  you can set up to 5 different times a day
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");

So this is an odd one.
I did something in Outlook. I forget what: asked it to show me an email, or switched folders, or waved the mouse near it or something, and so Outlook locked up and consumed every CPU cycle it could get it's grubby hands on.
Fine. Whatever. Go crazy, Outlook.
However, when I switch to Visual Studio to get some real work done, it pops up that "Visual Studio is waiting..." message. And it's waiting for Outlook.
For what? It's daily horoscope? It's waiting through morbid fascination that an app can lock up that badly? It's waiting for it's turn in the bathroom? What on Earth would Visual Studio be doing waiting for Outlook?
The mind boggles.

Waiting to get some CPU cycles from Outlook? (Like it ever would get some...)

Do you have Office development tools installed on VS?

I would agree with you but then we both would be wrong.

Outlook is slow, overly complicated, and stupid.
I cannot imagine how a program that does little more than view text files can bring down a modern PC.
