The only response that I could make is non-KSS, Soap Box material, and certain to get me banned.
So I won't make it.

FTR, I was only kidding. My comment isn't meant as an endorsement of communism. If anything, it's a backhanded remark about data communism and the propensity for people to be too sharing with their data.

In this topic I always remember what my father said me years ago... I suppose is a quote by someone else, but anyways...

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

They said they encrypted all my source code, but it looks normal to me.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

So that's what happened to Equifax.

I absolutely hate when they make cute little rotary knobs where you attempt to change a value and it just jumps all over the place because it requires precision control of a mouse, in a circular motion. Yeah, like that will ever happen. And ones with numeric labels are just a tease because they're labels and you can't do direct-entry to bypass the mouse dance.
I don't do that. My* fancy controls can also be keyboard controlled with the arrows or paging buttons.
*I didn't create them, but I modified the code to allow this, because [see above].

Now that you've seen the light (again), do you plan to dust off and buff up the C++ version? I still use MFC (for the time being) so I would be interested in it.

The only time I do gui stuff in C++ is if I'm making FL Studio projects. I do however, have this very control in an MFC version somewhere on my onedrive, because i originally made it in C++

About 15 years ago, and the QA idiots are less incompetent than the ![Sunshine | [little ray of sunshine]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/sunshine.gif) s guilty of acrobat/reader.
I'd recently started a new job and moved into my own home. I'd been invited to a beta for a new version of a game I'd been playing heavily for years. The developer send the NDA as a PDF form which would've been great since I didn't have a printer; except that it was only possible to 'sign' and save the form if you had the full version of Acrobat, not the free reader.
I ended up screenshotting it to MS paint, filling in all the normal text using the text tool, freehanded my signature (I was really tempted to use the cursive font to see if they said anything), and then saved it off as several .bmp files (for spite) which I emailed off. Surprisingly for an organization that created such an asinine process they were quite happy with the result.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I have often thought there is good money to be made in teaching people how to scan their sig into their system for just such an emergency and also, in just cleaning up pdf forms for companies. But alas. I don't want to deal with such people.

I never completed Mr Mike's course on How to Write Good.
And then, suddenly, I was run over by a truck.

As I'm rarely free at 9am to post one, I'll resist the urge to answer.
Combining "self governing" and "lost direction" in a sentence is getting quite close to politics for a Welshman!
How's the brilliant "Pubs can open with no beer until 6pm at which point they shut to prevent any useful food trade" going? The numbers in my old stomping ground look rather bad at the moment ...

I don't hear anyone complaining! 
Mind you, I don't go to pubs these days except for a meal, or a wake.
