Given that your PC is not an Android device and will not have the Android system API available, it follows that you will need an emulator if you want to run an Android app on your PC. The advantage of an emulator is that you can emulate all sorts of different devices, versions of Android, and display sizes. The disadvantage is that it is not a real device and may not be a 100% accurate emulation of any device.

I can understand it for businesses who are a bit out of town, as Dave says. I worked at a place some years back and their office was pretty big and on an industrial park a couple of miles out of the town where all the shops and cafes were. They had a decent on site restaurant and that was ok given the location. The only other option you had was the food van that rolled by mid morning. What they did do though was have a free shuttle bus running to and from town every lunch time so you weren't completely disconnected.

I agree though that it makes less sense when your office is right in town with all the cafes and things on your doorstep. My current work place has a kitchen with microwaves, fridges, tea and coffee making things and tables to eat your lunch which I don't think is what Jeanne categorises as a 'cafeteria' in this discussion. That's pretty standard in offices.

I reviewed this title a couple of months before we ran the promotion on CodeRanch and I really liked it. So much so that I awarded it 10 out of 10 horseshoes.

Yes. It was December 2015.

There's a good chance your query would be much simpler if you were to use the EXCEPT Operator.

As Liutauras was saying, we like to keep the published rules around post deletion deliberately vague.

The rules at any given time reflect our current opinion on when users should and should not be able to edit their posts, and that opinion changes over time as do the rules. By not publishing a clear breakdown of the rules we allow ourselves the freedom to tweak them as we see fit without drawing any heat from pernickety users. Heck half (most) of the staff aren't even that sure exactly what the rules are.

Welcome to the Ranch (again) Harry! I'm glad we got your access problems resolved.

For a bit of context: Harry signed up a short while back, made a few posts, then was essentially locked out because the sign in process went a bit wrong. But Harry absolutely did the right thing, instead of giving up and writing us off, or flaming us on social media or some other unpleasantness, he dropped us an email asking for help. After a bit of investigation on my part, and could easily have been from any of the wonderful staff here, we found a solution and here we are. Good times!

I hope you enjoy your time at the Ranch Harry and make good use of the wealth of knowledge and experience that lies within all our staff and members.

Cheers, Tim

Sorry, I left my dream camera in the other room

That's right! In a dream earlier this week my Wife and I were travelling on a long car journey and we called into Paul and Jocelyn's house for a rest. It wasn't their actual house, just some house in a leafy suburb. We had a lovely lunch and good chats, then off we went on our journey. I don't know where we were going, or why we were heading there.

Dreams are such mysterious things.

The confirmation of your email is not an automated process and requires an actual person to check and write the email back to you. Those people, like all CodeRanch Staff, are volunteers and have other time commitments such as an actual paid job, families, social lives, etc etc.

I can, however, confirm that we have received your email.

Krzysztof Rams - you may have missed the part in the first post here that says:

That's very gracious of your Piet. Since Paul has made free ebooks available to everybody I'd say everybody has won this weeks CodeRanch Book Promotion.

Hurray for Enthuware!
