Here's the situation: I have a Windows 7 PC and a Windows 8 PC and I'm logged in as the same domain user on both machines. My domain user is in the local Administrator group on both.
When I run cmd.exe on each machine and then attempt to do this (also on both machines)
mkdir "c:\Program Files\cheese"
the Windows 8 PC gives an "Access Denied"…

FOLDER C:\textFiles\
FILE a.php

I'm writing some code that needs to change function signatures. Right now, I'm using Simionato's FunctionMaker class, which uses the (hacky) inspect module, and does a compile. Unfortunately, this still loses the line and file metadata.
Does anyone know:
If it is possible to overwrite these values in some odd way?
If hacking…
My very favorite spradsheet is Improv, a 1993 Windows 3.1 application. It still puts Excel to shame for building spreadsheets and writing formulas.

I can understand wanting to avoid having to use a cursor due to the overhead and inconvenience, but it looks like there's some serious cursor-phobia-mania going on where people are going to great lengths to avoid having to use one
for example, one question asked how to do something obviously trivial with a cursor and the…

I'm working on an open-source harm reduction application for opioid addicts.
One of the features in this application is the conversion (in mg/mcg) between common opioids, so people don't overdose by accident.
If you're morally against opioid addiction and wouldn't respond…
