  1. Re:Goodbye "my", hello UTF-8? on Perl Features of the Future - Part 1 · · Score: 1

    use strict;
    I always use strict, because it stops me writing extremely sloppy code without noticing. It forces you to properly initiate all variables. Does it really take too long to type two or three letters extra to declare your variables?

  2. Re:Mozilla 1.3b is out on Mozilla, Gecko, Netscape, And Their Future At AOL · · Score: 1

    That is IE's image handling too...sounds like they stol^H^H^H^Hborrowed this feature ;). Don't see it in my build tho. Maybe mine is just too old :P (New Year's Eve, 2002)

  3. Re:Only good news on Mozilla, Gecko, Netscape, And Their Future At AOL · · Score: 1

    I'm currently working on making AAG (look above for URL) XHTML compliant... The HTML I have to work with tho is really crap, making it very difficult. Our forums are XHTML compliant.

    Same results for me when I tried it on forum@aagames.co.uk (don't use the account any more).

    C'mon! Someone mod this up!

  7. Re:.co.uk on UK Parliament Domain Without Registrar · · Score: 1

    In what way does uk.com confuse users? The only people I can think of who it could confuse would be people who don't have a clue what a TLD is, and thus would ignore it - and just type in the URL as they see it. OK, so it appears that the NHS have moved lovelife.uk.com to a .co.uk now, but there are still quite a few major companies using uk.com URLs... and I don't think their users are confused. Unless you mean people wanting to buy uk.com domains, in which case ignore the rest of my post :P.

  8. Re:.co.uk on UK Parliament Domain Without Registrar · · Score: 1

    And TV is for Tuvalu... I assume the parent meant people registering domains when they don't have anything to do with the country, e.g. .tv being used for TV programmes etc...

  9. Re:Damn! on Microsoft Sends Broken Stylesheets to Opera · · Score: 1

    Ah, but WindowsUpdate needs IE's securit^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hfeatures to work... Mozilla wouldn't even work if they allowed it straight through :P.

    Hmm... Or maybe the explosions generate enough lift to make the car fly? Maybe this could be a blessing ;).

  11. Re:Maybe good on Aggressive Email Filtering Blocks Political Debate · · Score: 1

    I used to get ~20/day, mostly because the addy was on a tonne of pages on my site... more than my addy (this was forum@aagames.co.uk )

    Of course you can share dial up... That's what I'm doing now (I'm the main user tho).

    Now imagine a Beowulf cluster of security watchdog groups. ...sorry :( - couldn't help myself

  16. Re:Wow super secure on The Always-Encrypted Firewire Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    You need to specifically hide your pr0n from your "non-techie sister/mother/roommate/whoever"? I just keep mine in ~/pr0n/ (or ~/.pr0n/) and C:\Downloads\Videos depending on OS ;).

    Could you say "Introversion"? It doesn't make an MMORPG, but it currently only has 1 title out, but this one title is very addictive for new players, and easy to pick up.
