  1. Re:On P2P linking... on 3D Chocolate Printer Made from Legos? · · Score: 1

    That part of the RegEx is looking for the first *singular* occurence of a forward-slash (ie; ignoring the forward-slash pair in "http://") followed by a word-break (\b) or end of line ($):

    /\b\/(\b|$)/

    I assume Safari is interpreting "\b" as a literal character, rather than a word-break.

    Cool! As you can tell, I had no idea. ;)

    Thanks for the link.

    Screw it, it's all messed up.

    I made a page which has the link on it:

    Coral P2P Bookmarklet

    Coral-linked, of course. ;)

    Oops... There appear to be a few erroneous spaces in that link. Here are the fixes:

    about:b lank

    Should be...

    about:blank

    And this one...

    /\.nyud\.ne t\:8090/

    Should be.../p>

    /\.nyud\.net\:8090/

    And this one...

    http://www.scs .cs.nyu.edu/coral/

    Should be...

    ...it would be nice to see Slashdot using Coral-links *before* an article goes live, instead of "Oh yeah, whoops... We get a lot of visitors, right? Better quickly edit a P2P link in there before someone notices the new arti..."

    Here's a JavaScript Bookmarklet I made to make Coral-linking a cinch:

    javascript:l=document.location.href;if(l=='about:b lank'){l=prompt('Input a URL to Coralise:','');};if(l!=''){if(l.search(/\.nyud\.ne t\:8090/)==-1){document.location.href=l.replace(/\ b\/(\b|$)/,'.nyud.net:8090/');}else{if(confirm('Yo u are already looking at the Coral-cached version of this page.\n\nVisit the Coral web-site instead?')){document.location.href='http://www.scs .cs.nyu.edu/coral/';}else{void(0);}}}else{void(0); }

    Put that in your Favorites or Bookmarks -- make sure it is a single line of text, not those multiple-lines. Then just click it when you want to see a cached-version of the page you are currently looking at. Using it on an already cached page will ask you if you want to visit the Coral web-site.

    ...but this is the first /. article I've seen where the first comment didn't fit the "OMG 1ST POAST!!11" template.

    But then, I haven't been here long. I'm sure it's a regular occurence. :)

    Consumers had a choice then on whether or not to use IE... but they used IE.

    Most of the time they don't even realise they have a choice. Most "consumers" I know call IE "The Internet."
