    Best way to aggregate/group JSON data?

    Hey, all, Let's say I have some locally hosted/downloaded JSON data like the following: user: { "firstName": "John", "lastName": "Smith", "age": 25, "address": { "streetAddress": "21 2nd Street", "city": "New York", "state"...

    SQL: Inner Joins inside Outer Joins

    Thanks for the responses. I didn't realize that the order of operations required inner joins to be evaluated before outer joins. Appreciate the responses!

    SQL: Inner Joins inside Outer Joins

    Greetings, I'm a bit surprised that these two queries give different results: SELECT a.number, a.name , b.* FROM Atable a LEFT OUTER JOIN Btable b JOIN Ctable c ON c.number = b.number ON b.number = a.number ORDER BY a.number; SELECT a.number, a.name , b.* FROM Atable a LEFT...

    T-SQL: Deterministic RAND(seed) in UDFs

    Well, this is certainly getting outside my prior knowledge (and part of why I'm asking-- hoping to learn some good stuff), it seems like it can tell the difference in other occasions. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178091(v=sql.105).aspx It says, including RAND, "The following...

    T-SQL: Deterministic RAND(seed) in UDFs

    Sure; there are several ways around it, I just think it's a silly problem in the first place. Doesn't it seem bizarre that a function that will always return the same value can't be called in a UDF? Just sounds arbitrary.

    T-SQL: Deterministic RAND(seed) in UDFs

    Greetings, Okay, for you fellow SQL geeks: SQL (or, at least, Microsoft/T-SQL) does not allow you to use rand() in a user-defined function, at least as of 2008 R2. It's non-deterministic, I get it, no problem. Here's the thing, though: if I pass a seed, such as rand(123456), it's no...

    Never thought of it this way, but it makes sense. Good point; you've made your case and got me convinced. Thanks again!

    10th Annual Tax Thread - 2012

    Thanks, Eagle! We'll use the Schedule C for my wife. In terms of complicated... well, this year my wife has the income coming in and out for her writing/contract work, and I've been getting more heavily involved in microlending (via Prosper). The paperwork they give isn't very helpful, and...

    10th Annual Tax Thread - 2012

    EagleKeeper (et al), You're fantastic. I've looked through a lot of this thread, and it's really helpful. Thanks so much. :-) I have a specific question (which I'd love an answer to) and a general question (which'd be nice, but no pressure if it's outside the guidelines of the thread)...

    HTIB Under $300: HT-S3500?

    I ended up seeing the ONKYO HT-S7409 on sale for $400 (which is about the cost of the receiver by itself, much less the whole 5.1 package) at Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...20191&Tpk=7409 They've already bumped the price up to $500, unfortunately. I'll let you guys know how...

    HTIB Under $300: HT-S3500?

    Greetings, For Christmas this year, my wife and I are splurging (yes, I know-- money is tight) and upgrading from our TV's internal speakers to some sort of surround sound setup. We have around $300 to play with. We're not very picky-- don't need wireless speakers/subwoofer, smartphone...

    Bizarre SQL Union/All Result

    So, I was able to figure out the core problem: I was concatenating a series of values, one of which could have potentially been null. As I should have prepared for, value + null == null. I added a coalesce to replace any null values with empty strings and everything works as it should. Should...

    Bizarre SQL Union/All Result

    Greetings, So, for work, I have two queries, A and B. When run by itself, A returns 1 row (with 1 varchar column) and B returns 1984 rows (with 1 varchar column). Neither A nor B, by themselves, return any null results. However, when I run the following: A UNION ALL B 17 of the...

    GV for Personal Num on Work Phone

    I don't want to use a new number for personal calls (I don't want people to have to update their phones with my new number)-- I'd like to keep the number I have on my dumbphone as the number for personal calls. I'd like personal contacts who already have my number to not need to change my number...

    GV for Personal Num on Work Phone

    Greetings, I'm receiving a promotion (whoohoo!) and my work will provide an Android phone for me. I'm allowed to use the phone for personal calls/etc, but if I port my number over, they will own the number and I may not get it back if I leave. I don't have a smartphone yet (I actually use...

    Android or WP7 Without Voice/Data?

    Thanks for the responses-- I really appreciate them. Unfortunately, I'm still not clear on the answer. If I were to purchase an unlocked Android/WP7, could I use it over WiFi without voice or data? Thanks; I looked at it, and if WP7 isn't an option, those seem like a good choice. It doesn't...

    Android or WP7 Without Voice/Data?

    Greetings, If I were to purchase an unlocked Android or Windows Phone 7 (I'd prefer the WP7, but if it'll work on Android and not on WP7, that's good to know), could I use it for music and apps over WiFi without a voice or data plan? Basically, could I use an unlocked Android or WP7 as an MP3...

    Newegg Fly Infestation!

    So, I have an update: Newegg contacted me and said they would fully refund shipping and give me a $10 credit. All things aside, this was a great response from Newegg. Regardless of whose fault the problem is, they took full responsibility and rectified the problem. Glad to hear that their...

    Newegg Fly Infestation!

    Oddly enough, we went out to dinner that night (and we were at work for lunch), so there wasn't anything else we brought into our home. No kids or pets, so no one snuck something inside. We threw away (took to the dump) all the garbage in the house, but the flies remained. We hadn't gone grocery...

    Newegg Fly Infestation!

    I certainly understand your point, and don't want to make a big deal out of it. However, I disagree with you for a few reasons: 1. Before opening the boxes, we had not observed any flies. A disproportionate amount of flies was not observed around garbage or food, and after disposing of the...

    Newegg Fly Infestation!

    Interesting... you don't think it's unreasonable to request some sort of gift card for it? We're obviously spending money (paper towels and spray cleaner) to fix the problem, and my wife is picking up some fly paper after work, so I guess it's reasonable to ask to be compensated for the cost...

    Ah, well, there we go. I learned something new today-- and on an off-topic messageboard! The world is a strange and exciting place, indeed. :-) (Thanks for the clarification.)

    Newegg Fly Infestation!

    Haven't heard of that, but it makes sense. OJ has a pretty strong scent. I'll talk to my wife and see if she's open to trying it. Nope. The packages left on Monday and arrived on Thursday. Not bad for the cheap shipping option. Well, they look like the ones in the gif, and they're very...

    Newegg Fly Infestation!

    Greetings, I'm not sure where I should post this, so hopefully off topic will work. The tl;dr is at the bottom, but I'd appreciate it if you'd stick around for the story. I ordered a bunch of hardware for an HTPC I was building from Newegg, and got it in on Thursday of last week. It was one...

    Learning OO Programming Via C#?

    Thanks, Mark. My wife graciously let me spend about four hours (ah, the joys of adulthood, when four hours of free time is a huge window) working on this stuff last night, which was great. I'm continuing to make quite a bit of progress. I have a console application that's essentially a...

    Learning OO Programming Via C#?

    No worries; I appreciate your willingness to check it out. I spent about 4 hours working on C# last night (as I don't yet have a book, I've been continuing to use online tutorials), and something incredible happened: inheritance "clicked"! I'm not sure why, but there was a distinct moment when...

    Learning OO Programming Via C#?

    Thanks again for the feedback. So, while I've decided to stick with C# (based on research and speaking with some developers I know), I do see the wisdom is working from a starter book. I went to Barnes and Nobles and looked around... after checking out several books, this seemed both...

    Learning OO Programming Via C#?

    No worries-- I understand exactly where you're coming from. My hope was that I'd work through some basic concepts through online resources. It sounds, though, like you think I'll need to spend a good bit more time with the fundamentals before touching the higher level stuff. Is that correct? I...

    Learning OO Programming Via C#?

    Brandon, I hadn't really thought about it in terms of implementation versus interface, but that makes sense. You wrote, "Writing the classes is creating the implementation... Writing code which uses those classes is dealing with the interface." That's excellent-- very clear, concise, and...

    Learning OO Programming Via C#?

    Brandon, Thanks for the post on polymorphism. I'll be honest-- the whole thing is a little unclear to me, but it's a slow and steady sort of process. Let me see if this is right; sorry if the format of my answer is bizarre. I'm trying to format it in a way that makes sense to me. If... 1...

    Learning OO Programming Via C#?

    Brandon, Wow-- thanks for the great introductory guide! I'm definitely impressed. That helps to clarify quite a few things, including abstraction, virtual functions (the importance of which I really didn't get beforehand), and OO inheritance in general. I've written a few questions, but after...

    Learning OO Programming Via C#?

    Thanks, Cogman; that did help. I never really thought of those analogies, but they make sense, more or less. If you were looking to write an article, it'd be interesting to read OO concepts explained in relational database terms, and vice versa. I appreciate your thoughts. Every little bit...

    Learning OO Programming Via C#?

    Windows 7 Scanner Compression: LZW to G3/G4

    Thanks for the help; the problem is taken care of. I really do appreciate it-- too bad the forums don't have a system for giving "reputation" or some other system to show that your posts were helpful. At any rate, we're now good to go!

    Windows 7 Scanner Compression: LZW to G3/G4

    MrChad, It's a Xerox Documate 515 (the department had a very limited budget). We've tried the proprietary Xerox software (I think it's called OneTouch), OmniPage, and the default Windows scanning software (accessed via the Control Panel). The first two generated uncompressed TIFFs; the last one...
