  • Re: Epic context menu

I've got 20.0.1 here that randomly spews certificate errors for mainline sites such as google.com, randomly forgets cookies, randomly clears my Flash cache, and randomly omits / adds / breaks things on the context menu ... such as images that can't be saved, sources that can't be viewed, ...

  • Re: It's like using "||", only you get to write four extra lines of code

    Just loving the latest Blakeyrat sig ... "MY BITCHING BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER" In the same way a motorway pile-up or a run-over dog might bring people together

  • Re: MVC can't do that

    [quote user="dkf"]You know, this is the only way of reaching a 10M line application that has ever made sense to me. Repeating the same code (except for a one-or-two line tweak) over and over is a great way to build up the line count. It also gives a lot of room for buried WTFs.[/quote] It's funny you should say that, because every ...

  • Re: If this is how you write your SQL, I don't want to work there

    [quote user="dhromed"] "salary ASC" is a nice touch. [/quote]  Yes, because nothing is more amenable to storing values such as "I don't know", "Flexible", "> 40k", "Will work for peanuts" than a LONGINT

  • Re: In case of error, crash server.

    [quote user="TheLazyHase"] Here the question is, why using an obscure and underused alternative (since it came from an alternative to mod_ssl) to the main thing without budgeting time to iron out bug ? [/quote] http://modgnutls.sourceforge.net/ It's been running for 2 years without a hitch on our server, the endless loop ...

    [quote user="esoterik"][quote user="daveime"]but wouldn't you think after 2^63-1 attempts, he might be thinking "hey, this doesn't seem to be working?".[/quote] Who exactly is this "Person" who is supposed to notice 2^63-1 attempts?

So I dutifully logged on via SSH, tried to crank up mysql to have a look at the processlist, "no space on /var/lib/mysql to perform this operation". Hmm, that's a new one ...

  • Re: Windows 8 Video Blakeyrant

    [quote user="JoeCool"]Closing apps: Alt-F4 works.[/quote]  When people are pushing touchscreens as the new paradigm, something that will do away with the "mouse and keyboard forever". for you to suggest keyboard shortcuts as the easiest method to do something seems just a tad counterintuitive. I'll tell you what it ...
