Same problem and same fix for my 2009 Acura MDX.

Did you try Google Keep? It does exactly what you ask for: sharing a simple todo list with another person.

I'm genuinely curious. Do you need to go to a physical bank location to do this? How do you buy a car in the evening or a Saturday afternoon, when a bank is closed?

No, not every email server supports it. For example, I know that Office 365 Exchange doesn't support it as I tried it yesterday.

However, if the system isn't maintained it often needs replaced at a large expense. Most homeowners don't know how to inspect and don't bother to hire someone knowledgeable.

Our local township has an ordinance where every residential sewage system (10k residents, not sure how many systems that is) has to be pumped out and inspected by a certified sewage hauler. This way, the homeowner knows about and is required to make simple repairs before the entire system fails.

I've been working remote from home for 15 of the past 18 years.

Taking it a step further, the biggest problem with "my door is shut, I'm at work" is that I sometimes need to open my door. Perhaps for lunch or a snack. Or just to stretch my legs and think. Just because my family sees me wandering around the house doesn't mean I'm available.

I've found that it works best to have my wife & kids email me questions/info/thoughts even though we're in the same house. I can then respond when I'm available. Sometimes via email or sometimes by initiating a conversation.

If that's true, it'll be years before 1.0. There are many admin screens that this new tool will have to replicate.

What do you mean "inline text search for sproc"?

I use a combination of SQL Hunting Dog http://sql-hunting-dog.com/ (quick search all object names) and a SQL script from the (free) SSMSBoost plugin that looks at most object definitions but not table columns unfortunately. I've used Red Gate's SQL Search in the past but it's always been slow and buggy over the VPN.

If you're looking for a better execution plan utility, check out SQL Sentry's Plan Explorer. It's free.

> Now that lots of weed are resistant, farmers will have to figure out how to farm without > this shortcut. Roundup is obsolete, so nothing of value will be lost.

I'm a part-time farmer. My father and I manage about 35 acres, half in corn and half in soybeans. We no-till our fields which is very helpful for preventing soil erosion and fertilizer/manure runoff. We are located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed so we have to (and want to) pay close attention to farming best practices regarding excess nutrients and runoff.

We use Roundup for both a burn-down in the spring and for post-emerge weed management (1 quart to the acre). It continues to work well for us. Based on what I've heard, round-up resistant weeds mostly commonly occur in fields where crops are not rotated. Some farmers do plant corn on corn, year after year. I can see where that would lead to significant problems.

So, I'd say that your unqualified statement above "roundup is obsolete" is true for me although it may be partially true depending on the application.
