  3. Re:Slashdot true to form on IBM Wants Patent For Regex SSN Validation · · Score: 1

    I do something similar for phone # validation: onchange="this.value=this.value.replace(/\D/,'');"

    though its a bit more, only resetting the value if the stripped one is different (avoiding moving the carat when unnecessary) with length checks, etc

  4. Re:Cuff me... on IBM Wants Patent For Regex SSN Validation · · Score: 1

    Err, after RTFA, I suppose this is more on topic:

    <input name=ssn id=ssn onblur="if (!this.value.match(/^\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}$/)) {alert('Invalid SSN, blah blah NNN-NN-NNNN.');this.focus();}" />

    I would also not want to be the guinea pig used when they learned the structure of the tooth.

    Nor would I, they eat the guinea pigs down there. Cui

    Have it written in every language, including a button with a highly recognized symbol of "listen" that audibly plays back said warning(s) in all languages.

    Casual home users. All most people need or use is an office suite, solitaire and a browser+email client. Even at work, the taskers/sales/pms only used these.

  14. Re:Wow Slack is still around? on 64-Bit Slackware Is Alive · · Score: 1

    I had the reverse. I couldn't go on with slack as I wanted 64bit, and wasn't on AMD arch anymore. So now I'm on fedora on my laptop and in the middle of installing it on my desktop. Maybe now I'll cancel the desktop install and go back to slack for that

  15. GPS? on Australia, UK To Test Vehicle Speed-Limiting Devices · · Score: 1

    Why GPS? what ever happened to the good ol' speedometer?

    Also speed governors are nothing new. Many larger consumer vehicles (trucks, vans) have them and set around 90-100 for many years now. The power doesn't go out, but the gas gets cut as if releasing the pedal until your speed drops. My old work van (stock) was set for 90.

    This is the whole premise of Shareware... And doesn't RedHat, what was BeOS, and others offer free/"personal" versions of their OS, then also offer pay-for versions with more functionality?

    1-3am when I'm already tired in bed. I seem to be most productive in this state... But I can't really do that for work when they expect me to be in the office at 8:30am where, at that time, I am just a zombie F5'ing Slashdot waiting for a reply-worth story to appear for a few hours until when I mentally wake up.

  21. Re:Don't do it if it's that risky. on Hosting a Highly Inflammatory Document? · · Score: 1

    If this is the case, make vids like the Guatemalan guy - but frequently and post on youtube to keep the public up-to-date on your still-livingness, plus post often to somewhere online where you have a friend base. All thru tor so your movement isn't tracked.

  25. Re:But does it work? on Court Orders Breathalyzer Code Opened, Reveals Mess · · Score: 1

    If they were recording each reading for averaging, this would be the issue, but their avg method is a way to cut on memory and processing costs - you only have to store 1 value and keep averaging it vs store an array of readings then average the array. Yes, they could keep adding to the base number then divide at the end, but the processor sounds 8-bit ("Atari-style" "from the 1970s" - 6502???) and couldn't handle such a large value (overflowing, sans erreur)
