You’ve got these subatomic particles accelerated at great speeds for the sole purpose of being destroyed. No one thinks of the ethical implications of this. There’s a limited supply of hadrons in the universe. Do we just want to go around destroying them? What if we run out? What if the hadrons can feel pain? Will we look back at this hundreds of years from now and regret it? Kinda like we do with the killing of bacteria with antibiotics now. [That the idea is “patently ridiculous” is also] what they said about the other group I founded, Mothers Against unDead Drivers, which warns people of driving while a zombie, but they’ll see.

You ask someone to help make a program more efficient when you say you don’t know what it is doing, and it does not even work? IMHO, fixing someone’s program that does not work is different from making a program more efficient.

Upon being told that others are unwilling to do my work for me I have selected a semi-ontopic link at random. I don’t understand what the page says though and I’m still too lazy to look for the answer myself. Will someone please post a complete working solution so I can continue to brainlessly leech?

In other words, you have an Oracle error (ORA-01401: inserted value too large for column) and you want Spreadsheet::ParseExcel to fix it?
