I'm not really interested in going faster than the car will already go, so I feel like the brakes and motor are fine as they are.
That's pretty outdated, isn't it? 
I'd love to have a Mustang, too - But with Gas prices of ~1,92$ per liter you won't get far, except you use it as your second car. That said, I'm thinking of getting a Focus[^] somewhen next year, which spares me gas but still has plenty of space.
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

Yeah, but eventually, everything gets outdated.

Thank you. Now I won't have to read Mark's APOD for the next couple of months.

Hi All,
I think I have all the features from the 'wish' list incorporated to my current project, it looks like its working. I have had to battle instruments that to quote my Boss "Elephanters to work with, documentation like a drunk monkey has written it!", a customer who is a little scary (but nice to me?). Not a great system, plus I got the 'if you're more comfortable in C# why didn't you write it in that' (despite my plea's at the start, subsequent complaints in the lounge resulting in offense to some). The small fact is these things I'm testing don't have any documentation, I have always done ATE work based on the hand test procedure (meaning questions of 'how do you do X', reply 'ask Y', Y reply 'why do you want that?', me 'Well it will cause issues if I don't!'). Just need to make sure I have followed the correct procedure for one the tests.  Thanks to Griff & others who know the pain I am going through and sorry for poor questions in Q&A!!

Remember this, where you are, you are the VB "Expert" and every time they have trouble with a boffed up VB app, your name is at the top of the list. Congratulations.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Good for you! The light is at the end of the tunnel. With a little luck, it won't turn out to be a train coming your way.
I spent most of my programming years doing ATE and never had a proper spec or manual test procedure to follow. Most of it was done after I'd completed a mathematical model of the UUT, performed a sensitivity analysis for every component's contribution to the resulting performance, then created a test requirements document and procedure to code against. A few times I had to actually complete the product design for the prima dona design engineer because he was stumped or lazy, just so I could get on with my test development. Test engineers are not happy people, as a rule, but we have to be a hell of a lot smarter than the one-trick-ponies whose products we have to test.
You've had a good challenge here; I've been watching, but not contributing, as I'm really out of date. But I've been through it and know what it can be like. You've got good helpers here, great people who are always happy to assist. They won't all be this difficult - really! One early boss of mine once said something wise (another rarity), to wit: The best program you write is the one you never hear about again. May you never hear about this one again...

Thanks for that, the product in question doesn't have any documentation or anyone who knows. I'm using a language that is Alien to me (VB.NET). My boss comes over with the phrase 'No, no, why are you doing that way?' followed by 'Why doesn't it work that way, oh!', the best one was the quiescent current reading leave board alone it draw slightly higher current in pulses. Boss is lost as to why my best guess was it was looking at the IO ports every so often despite being given the stop command....  . I have been told to add yet another function to it and get it sent by the close of play today!  If it works I will be amazed!

![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif) Just wanted to get the input of others...
I feel like I'm getting raked over the coals by my cable provider. I'm paying close to $100 per month, between the channel packages, remote rentals, cable box rentals, tax charges, etc.
When I grew up, tv was free, granted we only got 3 channels. Unless I could convince my little brother to stand behind the set and hold up some foil then we would get FOX as a 4th channel.  Ah good times... but I digress.
I would really like to get rid of cable, but my son gets a look of fear on his face like I'm about to cut off his arm. 
We have an Xbox ONE and a 360, so we can stream Netflix to all tv's in the house. I feel the xbox is under utilized and we could access more media through it.
I'm turning this in to a book and I didn't mean to, so in the interest of brevity. Please share if you have an option other than cable? And do you still use the cable provider for internet connectivity. Are there any boxes/devices you recommend for internet tv? Any ideas are welcome?

I've got to agree with you. I got rid of my TV because I have young children, and I've really never looked back.

Quote: I got rid of my TV because I have young children, and I've really never looked back.
I did too many years ago and agree with you. I have heard the same thing from other people. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone saying they miss their TV.

Normally it is the other way around: I've got young children because I got rid of my TV...
