The way javascript does dates
Are you talking about getYear() being years since 1900 or something else? You might want getFullYear() or getUTCFullYear().
and timezones
Javascript only does UTC and "whatever timezone the browser is using". If you need other timezones, you'll need a third party library (such as this shameless plug).
I did a who-is lookup because what the ^shift-numbers^ does
Why would a label made in 2500BCE be written in English?
Slashdot (still) doesn't support Unicode so clearly the text was translated to something that could be written using ASCII.
The real text is something like "bird bird man-walking-to-the-right eye feather hand
My ISP supports IPv6, my router supposedly supports IPv6 (Asus RT-N66U), I can see the router getting an IPv6 address from my ISP, I can see my PC getting an IPv6 address from my router yet when I test it out on the various "do I have IPv6" pages it's failing.
After spending a couple of hours mucking around I gave up. I'll deal with it when it matters. Hopefully it's less painful then.
Quick question: Are those IPv6 addresses in the fe80::/10 range? Is so, they're link-local.
If not, would you mind sharing them or at least their routing prefix?
... there has to be a better way: but what is it?
The first step would be for the job application site to ask their users and listen to the comments about the site.
You know, just like Dice listens to all our comments about beta...
I don't do PHP, but wouldn't $n = unpack("C*", fread($f, 8)); make $n an array of size 8, from $n[0] to $n[7]?
If so, isn't there a bug in the next line, $so[7] = sprintf("%c", $n[8]);?
Why did Betamax, the superior video cassette tape format, lose to beta?
Uh! I know this one! Because "Fuck Beta"?
images woulda been bitmap and not vector so wouldn't exactly move up to png
Why not?
The images would most likely be in IFF ILBM format. ilbmtoppm can convert those without any problems.
If you want a png, just add a little pnmtopng and you're done.
Without looking, what is your static IPv6 address?
its all ready is open sourced and that is what the soylent news guys did but the community didn't fallow.
Yes, SlashCode is open source, but the latest public release is 5 years old and not at all what's running on slashdot now.
It would be very nice, if Dice would release a newer version of the code, not only for SoylentNews, but also for the Japanese slashdot.jp and the Spanish barrapunto.com, both of them are still using the old version.
If a name is a "real name", pay a one time charge by credit/debit card with the same name on it. This would put a green verified box next to the user name. The blue box will continue to be used for identities that twitter staff have verified on their own.
How much longer do you think the twitter staff is going to verify accounts on their own, if they can get people to pay instead?
If your answer to that question is longer than the time it took you to read the question, you're kidding yourself.
If a name is a nickname, pesudo-name, or a business/brand, then the user must mail a business card showing both the brand, twitter handle and name used.This would put a different color icon (maybe violet) that signifies that this has been professionally identified, and clicking on it should show the business card.
All that the latter does is verify that the twitter account is associated with the brand and not the reverse of the user verifying their name.
No. All it does is verify that the user had enough money to get one business card printed and mailed to Twitter.
