Periodic Table of the Operators

At some point he put up a list of all the operators - well over a hundred of them! I had a sudden inspiration, but it took a few months to get around to drawing it..." You might want to take a look at this and think about which operators are yet to be discovered."

  2. what is up with SPACES in the urls at slashdot? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I have been noticing this lately ... people post a comment with a URL in it, and a space some how ends up in the URL, breaking it. Obviously it's easy to fix the URL and surf to the site, but why is this happening on slashdot.

    It happened in a comment I posted yesterday, and now I see it happening all over the place in other people's comments.

    Here is a test URL just to see if it breaks it. I will not put any spaces in it at all when I type it.

    I bet it will break it. Let's see:

      I imagine it splits 'words' greater than 50 characters. Happens on all kinds of software. (For example, vBulletin does it too.)

    <a href="http://www.nospaces.com/inthisurl/please.htm l">Imaginary URL</a>
    yields: Imaginary URL

    Doing it this way also solves the embedded spaces problem that you were complaining about. Note that, although Slashdot put a space between the "m" and "l", the URL resolves correctly (without embedded spaces).

    Ohters here have explained why this happens; I have explained how to prevent it. Not posting a URL as a link is considered rude in most cases.
