One way to prevent Excel from automagically guessing how it should treat the pasted data is to set the destination's cells format to "Text" before pasting (rather than the default "General"). Then, after pasting the data, some manual formatting is necessary, but at least you won't get unwanted roundings, nonsensical string-to-date conversions, scientific notations, etc.

Citation from a historical non-Christian source needed. Otherwise, it's circular reasoning.

No, that guy is an apologist, who had been a Christian minister for many years before becoming a writer.

Yeah, SoftRAM was sued and declared guilty because it did nothing (worse, it slowed down the system). Other products did at least try, but the increase in apparent RAM came at a great performance cost, which sort of defeats the point.

Nitpick: you mean Remote Assistance, not RDC.

What? +1 Interesting?

Don't know what parent means by "Remote Desktop" (RDS?), but it almost certainly has nothing to do with screen recording.

The bailout still has to go through a number of European national parliaments. There have been rumors about the Finnish parliament not ready to go ahead with this.

That's not what I said. I was replying to someone who claimed Greece owed him money. That's simply false - the money is owed to a series of banks. Belgium (and other countries, including mine) irresponsibly guaranteed the loan. The debt is unpayable in the terms of the troika. That doesn't necessarily mean it has to be cancelled - the repayment could be postponed, the ECB could assume the loans, etc. but if we come to that and our governments have to take a hole in their budgets, let it be a lesson for irresponsible lenders and guarantors.

- Retirement age is a myth. Average has historically been higher than the EU. For example, Eurostat data for 2005: 61.7. Higher than the EU and Germany.
- Huge military: maybe. I hope NATO doesn't bitch and moan if they downscale. Greece is at a key geopolitical location, sitting at the edge of the West's sphere of influence.
- Public service: used to be true, not now that they have grinding austerity. The Greek people have paid many times over.
- Tax enforcement: there's no discussion it has to be improved. In all fairness, it's nowhere as bad as commonly thought (with tax revenue at 39 percent of GDP). The standard VAT at 23% is crazy, by the way.

Irrelevant. The ECB could take care of that and become the sole creditor (admittedly that must be an exception, not the rule - it shouldn't encourage irresponsible lending and borrowing). My country is also a creditor to Greece. The fact that my government allowed private (bank) debt to become public is my government's damn problem, and I reject the so-called austerity in Greece because it doesn't work, because the debt is unpayable and because it is ultimately owed to irresponsible bankers. I support Greece's refusal of the troika's terms. Debt repayment has to be tied to the country's growth. If that takes a long time, let it be a lesson for the government.

Sigh... It's frustrating how many people believe this falsehood. No, the money wasn't taken out of your taxes. The money was loaned into existence.

Bah. Invalid SQL of course. s/HAVING/WHERE as there's no GROUP BY.

I think of it as a relational database,

SELECT A.HammerSales / B.HardwareSales AS Answer
FROM
    (
        SELECT Sum(Amount) AS HammerSales
        FROM SALES
        HAVING Item='Hammer' And MonthOfSale='201505'
    ) A ,
    (
        SELECT Sum(Amount) AS HardwareSales
        FROM SALES
        HAVING Department='Hardware' And MonthOfSale='201505'
    ) B

It will not return zero if there are no sales at all for last month. It will return an empty dataset (i.e. no data).
