If anybody needs to find me over the next week or so, here’s where I’ll be.
Oh, and you’re going to need a helicopter or a whitewater raft to get there.

The answer you’re looking for is the sum of the combinations of the groups you can make out of 30.
(30,1) = (30,29) = 30
(30,2) = (30,28) = 435
(30,3) = (30,27) = 4060
Check out the formula for combinations. I can’t remember the exact formula to do the entire problem, but when you add up all the solutions, that will give you your answer.

Thanks SoCo! The background is that we have an application with 30 profiles available. Right now it’s what we call a “multi-select” application. A user can request any combination of the avalable profiles, from 1 to all 30. They’re asking me to make it a “single” select – with all possible combinations available and they’re not happy with me because I’m trying to tell them it’s not possible to list all the possible combinations!

And today’s “No $hit Sherlock!!” headline comes from our own AJC….
Consumer, not Georgia Power, would be on hook for potential Vogtle overruns
http://www.ajc.com/business/consumer-not-georgia-power-1055562.html
At an energy committee meeting in their downtown Atlanta chambers, Public Service Commission members said they would support only a July 18 deal reached between Georgia Power and the PSC’s advocacy staff, one that removed a recommendation calling for Georgia Power’s profits to be reduced should the costs to build two nuclear reactors at Plant Vogtle exceed budget by $300 million. Additional costs, with PSC approval, would show up in customers’ monthly utility bills.
Georgia Power executives have argued that a cost-containment plan, originally considered and rejected by the PSC but still pursued by Georgia Watch, could drive up the project’s financing costs, potentially damaging the ability to raise capital. That, in turn, could increase customer bills.
[...]
PSC’s advocacy efforts are meant to prevent what happened when Vogtle’s first two reactors were built in the 1980s. The project exceeded its seven-year deadline by nine years and its $660 million budget by more than $8 billion.
The PSC told Georgia Power that $1 billion had to come out of the company’s profits; customers paid for the remaining $7 billion through a 12-percent increase in their monthly power bills.
Regardless to what happens in DC, Georgians will still get a wallet beatdown over the next decade. If you think your power bill is high now, wait a few more years….

What if you had it like those product lists you see on some Internet sites? Like, say for cameras or cars, where they list each item and have a box next to it and it says “place a checkmark in the box of all items you’d like to compare’?
That way they could scroll down the list of profiles and click on the selection box next to each profile. Then the program spits out the selected profiles?

Paul “That way they could scroll down the list of profiles and click on the selection box next to each profile. Then the program spits out the selected profiles?”
Unfortunately it’s not the sophisticated a product. What we’re dealing with is a ticketing system used to request access to our applications, and the ticketing system will only list profiles linearally (sp) – as a drop down list. And the only choices we have are to restrict the choices to only 1, or to any number of profiles in the list.
So to make it from a multi-select to a single select we would have to have a separate listing for each possible combination. But I’ve got an ace up my sleeve, there’s only 100 characters available for the profile names and there is NO WAY to combine all 30 and fit it into 100 characters.

Back when we were in college there was a Cajun-Creole restaurant opened in Seattle, before it became chic cuisine. We drove down, all excited. Let’s put it this way, to say it was a disappointment would be putting it mildly–like the food. Anyway when the waiter came over and asked if there “was a problem” we were politely honest. He says “where y’all from?” We told him, and his comment as he snatched up the offending plates was, “oh, L-rd, how could you have eat as much as you did? Wait a minute.” He went back to the kitchen and came back with several plates of some really good stuff…turned out they did two preps, one for the locals and the other for the “us” in exile!

Josef: When I was way younger and in OKC, (where I went after leaving the coast) I worked at a Cajun place. Actually I opened the joint (as a waiter of course, I was a damn kid). It was so authentic it was scary. They got the chef from Baton Rogue. I forget his name but he was a big one. Of course in OKC they have a lot of tex mex so the spice wasn’t too much for them. The place was packed from the minute it opened. They franchised it off (the guy that opened it was a franchise king) it didn’t do so well because it was too authentic for most locations. This was a few years before Cajun became “trendy.”

Sorry but I have a brother that worked at walmart when he was younger and he liked it there. And frankly I’ve never seen inhumane treatment of a walmart employee. Exactly what the hell do they do that can be “inhumane”. Its not like their making them work at a sweatshop for pennies a day in dangerous conditions. What a load of crap.
Google how many lawsuits have been filed against Wal-Mart in the last 15 years. Do you think there might be some reason for that? -Mary E.
Are do you not realize that any mega corporation with 100,000 or more employees is going to have a number of lawsuits over the years. Are you so clueless you can’t figure out that this is normal?
Wal-Mart is not the only corporation which has been accused of disrespect for its employees. – Mary E.
Oh lordy. Someone got “disrespected”. Or better yet they got “accused of disrespect for their employees”.
Target will not even give their store managers enough autonomy to make decisions about things as petty as a customer’s taking back merchandise, on an individual basis. In addition, there are no weighing scales in any produce department in anyTarget, I was told by a store supervisor. Do you never question why not? Wouldn’t you care to know how much you are paying for produce before you purchase it at the sign out counter?- Mary E.
First of all if you don’t like it don’t shop there. Secondly if you can’t hold some peaches in your hands and make a rough approximation of their weight then you just aint too bright to begin with. I don’t know what to tell you except to just buy the canned peaches which have a price on them.”

Doggone, I’m not going to do all the additions, but here’s how to solve your “Pick from 30 choices problem”:
If the person chooses only one item, then there are 30 different ways to pick that one item. If a person chooses two items, then there are 30 x 29 distinct combinations. However, if the order of choice doesn’t matter (and it sounds like it doesn’t here), then you have to divide that number by 2 x 1. If the person chooses 3 items, then there are 30 x 29 x 28 distinct combinations. If order doesn’t matter, then you have to divide by 3 x 2 x 1. For 4 items, you have 30 x 29 x 28 x 27 combinations, divided by 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 if the order of choice doesn’t matter. And so on. A computer can easily be programmed to do all the calculations for you. I can tell you that the final number of different combinations is a huge number, however.

Fred…. Yes, we have Major Doom and Major Davey. Major Doom even thinks I cared to play his “guess which idiot I am” sockpuppet….. Hail to the V!
home furniture giant IKEA has set up shop at a manufacturing plant in Danville, Virginia for the past three years in order to gain access to a non-unionized pool of labor and avoid Swedish unions. Workers at the Danville plant allegedly faced mandatory overtime, frantic hours, and even racial discrimination.
Yesterday, following an intense union organizing drive by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, the employees at this Virginia plant voted overwhelmingly to unionize

Thanks for jumping in. It’s been so long since I did permutations and combinations, I was pretty well stumped by that one.
Obviously you’re not a Texas Hold’em player, Brosephus. When your money’s on the table, it’s no longer simply an academic problem.
To tell you how my luck has been running lately, I had a guy all in and was a 99.2% favorite to win. He had to hit 7-7, with only 3 sevens left in the deck. You can guess what the turn and river cards were……

Sometimes you just say the craziest things. And saying that Walmart treats its employees inhumanely is nothing short of nutty. I mean come on. What are they doing? Commiting all sorts of human rights abuses. Caning people. Stringing them up by their ankles? I mean seriously. Talk about overkill and exaggeration. And like I said if anyone “disrespected” me or treated me “inhumanely” you know what I do. I tell them to kiss my azz and walk right the hell out that door. Don’t need em.
And you think Target is somehow a devious organization because they don’t have scales so that you can tell exactly what the cost is of some fruit? Gimme a freaking break. I mean Puh-leeze. In all my life you’re the single person I’ve ever heard of bit3h about this. Good grief.
And people got “disrespected” at Walmart? Come again? They got their feelings hurt? So did I when I was in boot camp and an instructor was yelling in my face. So what? Grow up and grow some backbone and some spine for Pete’s sake.

Thulsa, if trusting someone is sincerely trying to be a Christian, I am guilty of thinking that of you. I thought you were another here. I misjudged another, so I am glad you “confessed.” Pulling the wool over someone else’s eyes does not show intelligence; it shows a small person who would even value such a little thing.
Perhaps you will reach higher with your life, yet. I hope so.

Nice song for the ride, Bruno. A driving song for driving home.
I saw them once – May 1973. And it left an everlasting mark on me…

josef: When I got the job at the restaurant, I was hired even though I was a very in experienced waiter, (my worst night there was during a blizzard, I made 175 in a four hour shift, in 1984 dollars), was when the guy interviewing “called my bluff” when I told him I knew all about Cajun food. “What’s Jambalaya,” he asked.
“To a cajun, it’s whatever you have left over in the icebox mixed with rice,and the appropriate spices” I replied. “But in a restaurant it would be a specific recipe.”
He started to argue with me but I heard the chef talking (definate Cajun, didn’t know he was the chef at that time), “Go ask the coon ass if you don’t believe me,” I said. He did, came back and hired me on the spot. I hindsight, I wish I had worked the kitchen not the floor…………..

When I’m playing poker, it never seems to matter what the odds are…..when I’m holding the favored cards, the other guy is holding the more favored cards…….the ones that come around once in a blue moon………….

Its no wonder Doom hates attorneys….Mr. Sensitivity has probably paid a few claims but he’ll deny it.
He can’t distinguish between the military and the workplace.
But things must not be going well in health insurance ripoffs, Doomy apparently works the complaint desk at a Target to know what Target shoppers complain about.

Not a poker player at all. Sounds like you picked the wrong day to play poker then. I can’t remember the last time I put money on the line in any kind of gambling. The practicalist inside of me knows it’s a lost cause, so I’m tight with money when it comes to gambling.

They built Vegas on people who thought they can game.
It helps to be in Southern Louisiana to find good Cajun cooking.
That’s some good groceries.

The origin of the word jambalaya…there’s some argument, but the generally accepted is that’s it’s West African for “trash…” and pretty much what you described!
