Only 45 here today.

God, I hope you mean Fahrenheit.

I'm not entirely sold on getting my kicks on Cloud 66.

I was about to post "a breadboard, who gives a damn, I can get those everywhere, I've got tons lying around my house" but actually this "Explorer HAT" saves a lot of trouble I had to go through when messing around with Raspberry Pi, hours in fact.

Something I came across is that if one's session expires or perhaps is logged out (I do not know which happened) but another window/tab remains open with nodebb, the need to reauthenticate does appear, however it will always return that login is "Forbidden" and this error only can be fixed by reloading the page and then logging in.

Winamp. I mean there are similar alternatives which run on X, but the little things are missing, and the worst part is that Winamp isn't even that great, and in fact it's kinda crappy.

Everything else is already available if it's worth using.

I do second @scottalanmiller though on Microsoft SQL Server and I'm honestly surprised that Microsoft hasn't done this, but I really know it's because, like Exchange, it's strangled with so many COM+ objects, API calls, etc that porting it isn't really going to happen, instead the base engine and T-SQL parser is what needs to be ported.

Was someone quoted that I missed?

It's from the article, RTFA bro!

Damn that's an ugly dress, no matter what colour it is.

Notepad initially then transfer it to the wiki for customer notes à la @scottalanmiller

Or, far better, that ReactOS and other projects like Wine could stop trying to rewrite the Windows code and could focus on replacing the components that Microsoft can't release. Piece by piece they could leverage the MS code to make the whole thing free. Much like the BSD projects did long ago to free UNIX from AT&T.

Well, I think you're just asking for the moon when it comes to a lot of people interested in Windows.

Are you saying I shouldn't see a triangle?

You're all idiots, total damn morons, it's clearly a dodecahedron, you people are so two dimensional.

@scottalanmiller The Spark Client, a hunk of dog crap, doesn't do that or much of anything, but the great news is one can use any Jabber client out there. We mostly use Pidgin 'round here, and you can set the idle time fairly low and there may be a plugin for that, I don't know, or some other Jabber client.

@scottalanmiller Oh I did that and also primarily like cha cha cha cha, but it doesn't have the same level of effect that "hon hon hon hon" has and usually she didn't even know what I was trying to do, where as my wife now knows exactly what I'm doing, and it's important to have all insults be apparent I think

This thread title just lends itself to the response being "your mom"

Jabber is not very good. We have it here and I don't like it.

Real Jabber or Cisco Jabber?

That and I'm also curious as to why it's not very good, are we talking about client, server, the XMPP protocol, what?

The protocol is verbose as hell, but that's XML for you, and at one point AOL was even toying with the idea of switching to XMPP for AIM, but that was a long time ago. In general though it is cleverly designed, but implementations are all over the place, I still have the XMPP gateway to OSCAR I wrote like 14 years ago, it was deployed only briefly and was mostly abused by teenagers with too much stolen VB6 code and time on their hands.

I've seen DB2 in use, we had so many machines with it holding customer information.

I was young then, and the memories have stayed with me.

The horror, the horror..

Then the company bought out another company which also had DB2 on some old Unix V knock off and some weird flat file thing on some PDP-somethings and we had to interlink the services and slowly transition everyone over.

I actually consistently find their mapping component to be the best. And I'm often happiest with their search results, as unbelievable as that sounds.

Yeah it's pretty unbelievable

When posting links please remove the tracking part of it:

Everything starting with the ? can be removed

http://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/news/remove-admin-rights-mitigate-most/

That's just a CTR tracking thing, it's not like it's a session ID or anything unique to anyone.

This just in: the perpetrators were caught because they asked for 30,000 Birthday Cake Pops and 2,000 litres of espresso.

What are they taking DNA tests for sign ups? What about identical twins?!

Plus games with no 1ups have existed in the past, forcing users to restart from the beginning, and people seriously hate that so now we're saying you can't start over either, I'm betting this probably will just be irritating.

@tonyshowoff I know, but it still should be removed.

Well, I'd agree it certainly is less ugly, especially the ones that are ridiculously long
