Hi,
I have a limited number of ad slots on my website, let's say there are
5. I have lots of people wanting to advertise in those slots, let's
say there are 100. They each join the queue for an ad slot on a first-
come, first-served basis. I have been trying to find a way to
determine the active date for a queued item. For the first five items
in the queue it's easy, it's just the expiry date of the item in a
live slot that expires first. For the next five queued items it's
still easy, because it's just the expiry date of the item in the queue
that will expire first. HOWEVER, after that it becomes more complex,
because the queued items will continually be slotting into live slots
as live items expire. So my question is, is there a straightforward
way, in ASP, of determining the active date for a queued item in a
queue of arbitrary size?
Any and all help or suggestions appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

How is the expiry date determined? Are you storing the amount of time
purchased and adding that to the active date? I assume the amount of timed
purchased can vary ... What unit of time is sold? And is there a minimum
purchase?
I assume you are storing this stuff in a database. Can you give us an idea
of the table structure and what type and version of database you are using?

Hi All,
I am wondering what the best way to determine an age of something/somone is.
For instance, let's say I have two dates:
1985-07-19
2003-11-30
Now, I want to determine the interval in years, and for each fraction of a
year, days. I won't mess with months because they can have variable length,

My database of customers has customers with begin_date and end_date.
Each year has 13 periods (each 4 weeks begins a new period).
I have a problem with calculating number of active customers per

For example:
If begin_date of customer A is 02-01-07 and end_date is not filled in
the customer should be counted as active till today (19-03-2007) which
means that he should be counted as active in the periods 01, 02, 03 if...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
