Slightly off topic, but probably the best place to ask:
Is anyone having a problem with recent versions where the URI autocomplete sometimes doesn't work, even if it's an address you often go to (e.g. google.com).
Or when you click on a tab, it doesn't "release" fast enough, and start moving the tab around?
I always liked SuSE and found it is easy to use yet good and solid and easy to get into when you want to do something yourself. I just got Mandriva 2006 though so I will not rush out and buy it. With all these releases it is a bit like Windows, lots of hype but not really that much changes.
So basically, you've got fuck all to say, but are saying it anyway.
China and the US are going to be indistinguishable in a few years. The only difference will be how they got there.
China = dictatorship, with increased amounts of capitalism.
US = capitalistic society, with increased amounts of dictatorship.
OK, slightly out. The current timestamp converts to 446361C3 (8 bytes). Should have thought about that from the 32 bit date problem - doh. But that's still way shorter than "2006-05-11 17:11:04" (19 bytes).
Let's say numbers can go from 0000000000000 to 9999999999999 (to allow non-US calls - you remembered that there is a world outside your borders, didn't you?). You don't need to waste 12 or 14 bytes to store that. It'll probably go in 6 bytes (I can't be bothered to work it out).
Time- and datestamps can be squashed into integers. Again, I can't be bothered to work it out, but I bet you can get a whole timestamp in 0000-FFFF. (Possibly with a couple more).
I'm not just saying this cos Jamie posted it, but that is a cool page. I'm too tired to bother trying to understand it right now, but I've bookmarked it, and I'm going to read it another day.
I wonder - we should have a competition to see who can make the most obnoxious web 2.0 page. Sort of like 1997 web "1" style - "under construction" gifs, flashing text, and scrolling status bars.
PS. Top Gear do some amazing stuff. Like racing a car with a bobsled down a mountain, or a car against public transport from $south_european_country to London. Or even a plane. Google Video search
Mmmm. The Bugatti Veyron. You want one. Your dog wants one. If I had the money to blow on a car, this is the ultimate. Even Jeremey Clarkson, who gets to drive all the nice cars he likes, said it was the best ever. (He says that a lot, but this time he meant it.)
I actually worked it out - I messed up the table - I swapped a/td with a td, and it obviously "broke" more in Safari.
Check back now. It now greys out peoples messages that have left.
What you need is a trusted 3rd party to hold onto it for you. I, am just such a person - my "Excellent" Slashdot karma confirms this. I will only require one payment for this service, deliverable on your daughters 18th birthday.
1. Yes it was me. Can you load/rpc/messages.php and see what the formatting looks like there?
2. I'll look that up. As I said, I'm not too good with JS currently. More a server-side man.
3. Every post prefixes the first 2 octets of the IP - is that not what you want?

I'm on an AMD 64 machine with 'nuff RAM, and it's still doing it. It's obviously a problem with the code.

Still the best browser though.
So that the UK government can get a copy of those prints too. You rub my back....
Depends on how many people in the building, and whether what they do could have any cause.

Why would they store it as ASCII?

Not in the UK.

They need to move from GoogleV4 to GoogleV6, which uses 128 bit addressing. Of course, the addresses are trickier.

Wasn't Microsoft's line for years: But UNIX permissions aren't finely grained enough?
Simplicity is the hallmark of genius. User, Group, Other. Read, Write, Execute.
Well, as long as I only have a 512/256 kbps net connection, why would I need anything faster than 802.11b?

And you didn't even link to the site so we could see if it was back up yet.

People means both people as in "we, the people" (i.e. the masses), or people = "undetermined amount of persons".
That looks like it. "Normal" severity? Damn ultra annoying severity, more like.

Oooh! Ooooh! AJAX reference. That means I can legitimately mention my AJAX message board and viewer counter, that's to be found at calum.org!
Please try it out before you mod me. It's not bad, if I do say so myself.
No!!! No GUI! Remember to stick to the path of Commandlinze, disciples!
GMPlayer doesn't count for this example. Don't ask me why.
