    and the first time i linked through to elephant story it had nothing but a link to GNAA. appears fixed now though

  3. The greatest demo of all on Software for Hardware Demonstrations? · · Score: 3, Interesting
  4. Re:Like IPv6 isn't good enough on China Deploys IPv9 Network · · Score: 1

    but don't forget the chinese will be first to colonise the moon, so they'll need both lunar and terran ip numbers.

  5. Re:Gah, no! on On PHP and Scaling · · Score: 5, Funny

    not from a business point of view. why sell something once that lasts, when you could sell lots that break down?

  12. Re:Pasting urls on Dealing with the Unix Copy and Paste Paradigm? · · Score: 1

    this crossed my mind when i posted. you can configure readline to be vi-ish (set editing-mode vi), but i don't think that mozilla uses readline directly. it just mimics its behaviour.

    never tried it though

  13. Re:bash can use either emacs or vi ctrl keys on Dealing with the Unix Copy and Paste Paradigm? · · Score: 2, Informative

    i could be wrong but i belive those sequence are readline(3), which is used by emacs/bash etc

  14. Re:Pasting urls on Dealing with the Unix Copy and Paste Paradigm? · · Score: 1

    in fact most readline keystrokes work (C-d, C-w, C-f, C-b etc). the Alt keys ones bring up menus unfortunately. i believe the readline keybindings are actually pretty common throughout UN*X/X etc

    no idea as to whether mozilla parses .inputrc though.

    In mod_digest, verify whether the nonce returned in the client response is one we issued ourselves. This problem does not affect mod_auth_digest.


    clearly/hopefully the term nonce was not coined by a british developer...

  24. Re:The "wheel" group on How Would You Distribute Root Access? · · Score: 1

    Never heard of the phrase "Big Wheel" (in that context anyway). Must be an americanism(?), or perhaps a paradigm shift...

    Pity they didn't use the phrase "Billy Big Bollocks", and the group name "billybollocks".

  25. Re:The "wheel" group on How Would You Distribute Root Access? · · Score: 1

    Do you know why its called "wheel"?
