    Awesome tip! Thanks! :D Feel like coding an app where you input the URL, and it loads from cache, and formats properly to look like the real site? :laugh:

    There's already a wealth of greasemonkey user scripts to unhide the answers and remove the crap from EE. It's so effective that I removed my EE filter from CustomizeGoogle.

      As a former programmer of random number generators, I would have to believe that this person has no understanding of one. Yes, he may be wanting to use a seed to generate the same sequence, but since he's not using one means that he doesn't how to use one. This is too funny. It's almost worth the price of admission to Experts Exchange to see the responses.

        Chris, I think the guy wants to return the same value each time Rnd() is called based on a constant seed. The answer to his question is inside the Microsoft documentation[^].

          Only because he's the only one strong enough to roundhouse maths back into existence. Time sees that, and gets scared, then goes to live with some relatives out in California, where it lives as Prince.

                        A response was:

                        change the 255 to a 0 and you'll get the same number each time.

                          If you divide by zero, you actually break time.

                          Better than breaking wind, I suppose...though, as Shrek always says, "Bettah in than out, I always say!"

                              While I agree OP was probably asking for a seed method, I like this answer:

                              Try this function

                              Function UnRnd()
                              UnRnd = 4 'my favourite number!
                              End Function

                              IntTemp = Int((255 * UnRnd()) + 1)

                                It's also the answer that got the points in the Experts Exchange thread.

                                  Pro tip - you can use the google cache to get the answers. If you hit an experts exchange result in google, click on "cached" to view the cached copy from google, which will include the answers. Lately they added some CSS to the page to hide these, but if you click on the "text only" link then you can find all the answers . Direct link to the answers for that question: http://209.85.173.132/search?q=cache:WxyHTS7gXW4J:www.experts-exchange.com/Web_Development/Miscellaneous/Q_22031739.html+http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web_Development/Miscellaneous/Q_22031739.html&hl=en&client=firefox-a&gl=au&strip=1[^] God I hate experts exchange.

                                    You could just open the page and scroll all the way to the bottom. For some reason the always leave the answers down the bottom so I don't have to pay a cent :laugh: .

                                    I bet they contracted that sight out to open source developers. <-- think about that. Who "accidentally" allowed the answers to show at the bottom. They probably guessed that the executive who paid them would never take the time to scroll all the way down. I'm thinking they guessed right.

                                      Don't you all know we're suppose to keep this on the DL? :laugh: The last thing we want is to have EE actually start hiding their answers. Although, I suppose some of you are correct in that they keep the answers there so that search engines can read them.
