The Weird and The Wonderful

very cool (aka :cool: ) 'g'

:doh: :doh: :doh: In code we trust !

Q.E.D. (Sorry, it was just sitting there waiting for it). "If you don't fail at least 90 percent of the time, you're not aiming high enough." Alan Kay.

If anything, this is a very good description on how we work here. ~RaGE(); I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.

It's Scala actually and both Forogar and PIEBALDconsult are right about the function purpose. It is taken from a small example that reads a text file and prints it out displaying each line's length before it and the function makes sure that all lines are aligned/tabulated correctly.

See my sig. Software Zen: delete this;

I'm never sure about that one. Yes, it has a marginal effect on security, but it has a big effect on user annoyance, and I think the trade-off is worth it in most cases to let a user know that they mistyped their username.

According to your magical fairy tail you had 64 machines each with 500 GB of ram and each with 8 cores, which you called desktops- a desktop is currently around 16GB of RAM no where close to 500. 64 bit limitation is 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 so if you had 64 TB which is probably only 64 GB it wouldn't matter you would get the whole thing not a magical 32 TB. The current limitation for Linux is 1 TB of RAM. It's 64 GB with a G is probably the truth. and FYI we are getting 200 GB's in one machine so the guy is going through a crap load of work that windows does not natively support.

Means that 99.9% of all the servers on the internet have porn ;P

Looks like someone has just read something about Domain Driven Development and was fiddling around a bit. :-D

I can imagine a use for something like this when implementing Undo/Redo. Tom Clement articles[^]

The 8207 is the character that has a graphical image of "/" You are wrong this has nothing to do with "/" Here is the same bug without "/" but with 8207. String str1 = "test"; String str2 = "test‏"; Moreover, a char is not ASCII but a 16 bit unicode character, contrary to C/C++.

Its almost worth joining just to have fun with that ;-) "If you don't fail at least 90 percent of the time, you're not aiming high enough." Alan Kay.

Anything that someone derives meaning from and is explained by that person - is a fact by definition

A database I access where I am has a bunch of DONOTUSEblahblahblah tables. :sigh:

:omg: First I've heard of that. Should I send some tequila over? You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.
