Posted by Matt at December 17, 2003 11:31 PMCheckout counters to metal detectors, I think you have covered my two biggest gripes so far this season. I swear Mal-Wart waits until there are 5 people in line then shuts another register down. 35 reigisters at the front of the store, only 5 of them are open lines are at least 15 deep at all registers and there seem to be an awful lot of extra emplyees just standing around doing nothing, and they wonder why I am rude!

Posted by tj at December 18, 2003 09:37 AMAs an IT professional I believe I can clarify the situation. We have a simple version conflict ...
Uniformed Guy Guarding Entrance of Justice Center - uggJunc v1.0 - 'the server' sees variable 'medallion' to be equal to value 'medal' ... any reference to value 'metal' is discarded in accordance with security patch ozzy8.bat and reset to value 'medal' in order to interface with the ubiquitous IMaHr0.dll
meanwhile ...
Guy With Problem With Metal Detector - gwpMed v0.014 (obviously still in beta) functions as a simple client (simple being an operand as well as a value judgement) and garners variable assignment from the server uggJunc v1.0
The server is programatically unable to supply the value 'metal' due to the security patch (don't ask .. it's a Microsft thing) mentioned. The client is unable to obtain the value independently due to the aforementioned 'simpleness' and voila ... thrashing and system lock.
I live to serve.
