Nah! I went with:
0. A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.
1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm unless it conflicts with the zeroth law.
2. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the Zeroth or First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the Zeroth, First or Second Law.

Welcome to the Metalwork Club! It's a fun club to be in, you can now set of the security systems at libraries, sports stadiums, courts, airports, ... and single yourself out for Special Attention!
(I've only been setting them off for twenty years - my right shoulder is held together with lots of surgical steel - but my young brother got his first hip replacement when he as twelve after he fell out of a tree. He landed on his head, bounced, and smashed his hip to pieces on the rebound we keep telling him.)
Glad to hear you are heading for "out of pain" in all four joints! Arthritis, I assume? Herself is waiting to go on the waiting list for an appointment to arrange a place on the waiting list to see a consultant to discuss the possibility of going on the waiting list for a hip op ... which will be canceled on the day due to "pressure on the NHS". 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

15 days till my Missus is in to get the right hip replaced. At 50 I think she is too young but if it shuts her up so I can sleep at night I'll be thankful.

Where exactly are they fitting this new hip?
Anyway with you getting bits done, either she's jealous... or are you in some sort of body upgrade club?
BTW: If a woman (wives in particular) wants to talk she'll find something to say, but even more a way to say it despite impediments (and reason.)

I had a knee reconstruction >25 years ago but as of yet haven't had to have anything replaced.

I hope all goes well! ![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif) 
I found the hip replacements to be almost instant relief. I was standing with full weight bearing on my new hip within 10 hours of surgery with no pain. Amazing!

Yeah, Rheumatoid arthritis. Both hips and both knees were totally shot. I walked like an 80 year old.

Then you seem lucky, it took my wife more than 6 months to recover from a knee replacement.
I have to mention that she has rheumatism which complicates things, it also made recovery very painful.

Everything depends on degree of recovery. I'm certainly not back to 100% and don't expect to be for months to come. But it's already better than before the surgery!
With any luck I'll be back to work after only 3 weeks. Not that I really want to get back to the grind but I'm using accrued PTO for all this and I'd rather save it for something enjoyable.

Maybe a tip: we found that biking was easier than walking.
We bought two electric folding-bikes which did fit in the boot of our car and enjoyed cruising the country a lot.
But this is from a Dutch perspective of course, we have lots of cycle paths over here

One of my good friends is a much more macho dude than you. He had both knees replaced at the same time, then 3 months later, had both ankles replaced. He's now up and around, but says walking up stairs is still difficult.

I asked about it but my surgeon won't do it - says it increases the odds of infection. Now that I'm 2 weeks post-surgery I'm glad I didn't. I can't imagine doing PT on both knees at the same time.
Your friend is a true stud!

Greetings,
I'm heading to ng-Conf in salt lake City on 13th April.
Any CPers in that neck of the woods, or know the area, can recommend anywhere to hang out the weekend before the conference starts?
we plan on finding a shooting range, but other than that, looking for anywhere either nerdy or serving good, inexpensive beer & food!!

Hill Air Force base has a pretty good museum. It's a 30-40 minute drive (north) from SLC. Sometimes, the Mormon Church Museum (in downtown) has interesting exhibits. If you have kids, there is the Living Planet Aquarium in Draper, about 20 minutes south of downtown SLC. (Also for kids, going another 10 minutes south, there are Museum of Natural Curiosity and, next to, a Natural History museum.)
Judas Priest is at the Vivint Arena on the 13th.
Not a beer fan, but Uinta Brewing Company made great sandwiches.
Another favorite lunch before moving were calzones at the Rusted Sun Pizzaria.
You could go to Pioneer Park and buy some drugs. Or, if you have several days, drive up to Yellowstone Park--it's only a five hour drive.

I didn't watch it cause all opening and closing ceremonies are shite. Had a bit of a flick through during the day and found too many non sports in there to keep it on.

Park City is a short drive from Salt Lake City and has many excellent eating establishments and cool shops. Also there may still be skiing there and also in Big & Little Cottonwood canyons.
Visit Temple Square
Red Rock Brewery in downtown SLC has excellent food and is said to have excellent beer. Same with Squatters Pub Brewery. See The Best Breweries in Salt Lake | Salt Lake Blog[^]
Lots of outdoor activities.

Just had what I thought was a brilliant idea.
How many times have you been editing code (or your latest novel) and highlighted text you want to replace - then realised you first need to highlight the text you want to replace it with?
(OK, maybe not all that often, but often enough!)
so, how about some key/mouse combination that is effectively:
Select Destination for paste.
Select source for copy.
say, for example, you have:
var foo = "hello world";
var result = SomeMethod("G'Day world");
You drag the mouse over "G'Day world" (or otherwise highlight it)
Press ctrl-alt-V (select paste destination)
Your mouse cursor changes to something appropriate.
You drag the mouse over foo (or otherwise highlight it)
Press ctrl-alt-C (select copy source)
the result
var foo = "hello world";
var result = SomeMethod(foo);
Seriously - genius, no?

I do that once in a while. Not frequently enough to add it to my editor... yet.
As to that, I started adding a feature to my editor some months ago and just haven't gotten around to completing it.
|
|
|
|
|
Here is how I handle that... This works in any windows edit area.
1. type xxxxx to remove the current selection, but leave behind a nice reselect target.
2. highlight the desired replacement text, double click would work in this case.
3. Ctrl+C
4. double click the xxxxx
5. Ctrl+V
