    Yes, the previous version did not sort correctly. Wikipedia's sorting template is apparently broken. As you can see, I tried to fix it (80.63.213.182 is also me) but I ended up having to insert invisible zeroes to make the alphabetic sorting work.

  22. BBC says you are saved if you use IE7 on Vista. on Windows Vulnerability in Animated Cursor Handling · · Score: 1

    BBC says you are saved if you use IE7 on Vista. Look in the bottom of the article mentioned in "Related Stories". Furthermore, the Secunia entry doesn't mention that you just have to run another browser than IE.

  23. Why this seperate project? on A Wikipedia WIthout Graffiti · · Score: 1

    Why not have the editors approve single versions of an article on Wikipedia? These verified version could be marked with a star or something at the history page. If you wanted to ensure that you wouldn't see vandalism, or you just didn't care for super-up-to-date information, you could just change to "approved mode". This way, all the articles you looked at would be viewed in the (perhaps older) editor/administrator approved version. Anyone would still be allowed to edit, but if was vandalism it would never be approved. If it was not, it should just be verified and then you have a newer approved version of the article.

    Pardon my crappy English.

  24. Re:Missing Question: How do you pronounce your nam on Jens Axboe On Kernel Development · · Score: 1

    I made a mistake. In this case (Axboe) "oe" is just pronounced "o". This is the Close-mid back rounded vowel IPA: [o].

  25. Re:Missing Question: How do you pronounce your nam on Jens Axboe On Kernel Development · · Score: 2, Informative
    Well, he's a Dane. I'm a Dane too so I'll tell you how I would pronounce it:

    Jens is NOT pronounced "Djens". "J" is pronounced as a Palatal approximant in Danish - just like "y" in English. Yens is somewhat more correct, but the "e" has to be pronounced like the IPA [æ]. Danish is not logic at all. If it was, "Jens" would be spelled with a "æ". Take a look at Jens.

    IPA: [jæns]

    Axboe is more complicated:

    • A is pronounced flat. (like when you say "aah" at the dentist. Just like "spa". Take a look at Open back unrounded vowel)
    • X is pronounced "ks". When the word is pronounced quickly it may sound like "gs".
    • B is b.
    • "Oe" is usually pronounced like the Danish "ø". See Close-mid front rounded vowel

    IPA transcription of Axboe would be something like: Open back unrounded vowel + [ksbø]

    (I can't get the IPA sign for "Open back unrounded vowel" to display in Slash)
