In medicine, for minor procedures such as blood tests or ECG, there is the notion of implied consent. Just holding out your arm for the blood test is implied consent. To refuse, yo…

Here is an example using Tcl to create an SQL script using recursive common table expressions: # createSQL.tcl set increment 100000 set loop [expr {100000000 / $increment}] puts {P…
