I chose to believe that Prince transformed his pain into art, and art is immortal; as Borges said: "the ancient food of heroes: humiliation, unhappiness, discord. Those things are given to us to transform, so that we may make from the miserable circumstances of our lives things that are eternal, or aspire to be so."
... details on Prince's alleged opiate purchases now being reported in various media, but source is one so-far anonymous informant, "Doctor D;" and, this could be just rumor.
from lyrics of "When Doves Cry" by Prince Rogers Nelson:
"How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry" You may choose more than one:
1. Prince Rogers Nelson
2. Addict
3. Idiot
4. Saint
5. Sinner
6. Human
7. Dead
8. Rich
9. Role Model
10. Monster
11. Famous
12. Infamous
13. Non-drinker (alcohol)
14. Non-smoker (tobacco)
15. Health food enthusiast
16. Jehovah's Witness (religion)
I think I'll go with 1,2,6,7,8,11,13,14,15,16 ... and ... 4.5 (I didn't say you had to think in integer).
'yo, Purpleness: thanks for the music, particularly for "Purple Rain;" oh, and ... the movie, yes, was moved by that in spite of its abuse of women, and creepily narcissistic qualities.
Hope you rest now in permanent peace and freedom from pain.

We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

Well, it can't be Prince, because he's past tense.

It informs Microsoft whether or not it has established control of your personal information.
If it hasn't, it moves on to try nastier methods.

You posted your question in the wrong forum. See that hint in the forum header?: "Technical discussions are encouraged, but click here to ask your programming question."
The code basically only attempts to establish a connection to the MySQL-server using the address and credentials in the connection string and shows a MessageBox telling you whether it succeeded or not.
Next time, please click the big green button "Ask a Question" on the homepage, it will lead you to the correct place to post a programming question.

You aren't using VB. That's C++ syntax. If you think that's VB , you need to pay more attention in class.

Now, that was funny.

It is example of harde coded strings and logins in SQL code. In other words very realistic code.

The fact that you think that's VB indicates that you're a freakin' retard.

The fact that you think a fresher, 'a retard' just because he mistook a piece of snippet indicates you are a.. genius. :P
Okay take it easy. I haven't said anything wrong.
On the point:
People usually dont get to see managed C++, in particular the UI application code often. Since it's looking quite an event driven, Sql connecting, messagebox showing, and not looking like C# one, the innocent learner thought it's VB.

Freshers can be dumb enough to mistake language syntaxes, but shouldnt be up to the level of posting connection strings in public. You are just few steps away to get your machine hacked for free.

Hi All,
Odd things are happening...Win 10 did an update I think earlier this morning and it's managed to kill the start button... Time for a restart... Testing!
Glenn

The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Happened to my wife's system the other day; fixed with a restart.

Oh good it's not just me then!

My dad had an update last week and it removed the username field when logging in...
He was unable to login as only his password wasn't enough.
He had to format and re-install his computer.
Good thing he had a backup.
Way to go Microsoft
No way in hell I'm switching to Win 10 anytime soon

Hmmm, I got Win 8 as no one would sell me a Win 7 box so I graded to Win10 as soon as I could. Generally impressed, but if you have 7 there is no real need to upgrade. As with all versions of Windows there are WTF moments...

I've only had that happen once, when I updated an nVidia graphics driver without restarting. After a restart, everything was back to normal.
