| all we need to do is dim the lights, dress you up in black (complete with beret and cigarette), and throw a spotlight on you; and get a guy in the background on bass as you read it one line at a time. | |||

| when a new person views the site, have javascript automatically forward them to another page, with a timestamp in the URI. figure out their timezone offset from that, and set it as a cookie. thereafter, if they have the cookie, don't output the auto-redirect thing in javascript. although that'd suck if they reject the cookie...  just, if they're not logged in, they get server time; if they are, use the above method (or some variant thereof) so they can have local time. |

hmm... I remember there being an attribute that's supposed to do it, something to the effect of <textarea wrap="none">.in CSS, though? you might try textarea {white-space: pre} or such. |

| the one that has links to each page. if the thread has more than X number of pages, then cut out some of them, such as: Thread Title - 2 3 4 ... 198 199 200 that, plus a link at the end linking specifically to the last page of the thread, would be spiffitastic. |

| those bars are generated server-side, using PHP. only the end result (image widths, etc) is sent to the client. you could, if you were so inclined, do something similar, if you have PHP-enabled hosting available, and link it in as an image. as far as any client (or, more to the point, the board) is concerned, it's just an ordinary image; no security risk. |

Originally posted by ChibiTaryn as with "burgle", using -ise or -isation sounds funny to me (having lived in america all my life) compared to -ize or -ization as is used here. for example, "organize" looks correct, but with "organise", I keep wanting to pronounce it like "organ ice". along the same lines, "offence" and "defence" look funny (I prefer "offense" and "defense"). at least it's not "organice"  I suppose "organize" looks dumb to british/australian english speakers for the same reason as with "warez" vs. "wares". I don't particularly care about 'ou' instead of 'o', though (as in color/colour, favor/favour, etc). in fact, I went through a phase a year or so ago when I actually used such spelling myself. I got over it, though, in favo(u)r of consistency, since I don't use other british spellings such as program/programme, gram/gramme, etc. british english still sounds funny compared to american english... but this time I mean that in a good way.  |

| he shouldn't have to. I myself have Winamp open 99% of the time I'm on the computer, with something playing. so to have some other music pop up without my consent = bad. it reeks of "I just found out how to do this. see? see?" as for the site design, it looks nice at first glance, but:
most of the above being just nitpicky, but it doesn't look as n00bish as some sites do. (but do kill the music) as for the hacks, they look like j. random hacks, which you seem to concede they are. the nemo hack, though, you said that someone should be "mature" to download it. there is a difference between "mature" and "immature". a mature person is likely not interested in an immature hack. anyhow, it's not as bad a site as some are.

| personally, I found the article to be quite interesting, and also read the columns at The Happy Heretic (linked to from somewhere); interesting stuff. I personally am atheist and consider myself existentialist; my belief system basically such things are not why I'm not religious, though; it's simply not for me, and incompatible with my view of the world. my opinion as to the existence of God, though, is this: I believe God (whichever one is applicable) does exist, but only in the hearts of those who believe in him/her/it, and only for those who believe in him/her/it. that very belief is what makes God a true thing for that person. in other words: God, and the belief in God, are one and the same. this means that God, and religion, are inherently personal things, they are ways to look at the world and come to terms with what happens on it; which means that "organized religion", to me, is somewhat of a contradiction in terms. that's my opinion, anyway. I sincerely respect the right of people to believe whatever they want to believe... on the condition that they return that same respect. I regard christians (and religious believers in general) as archaic and unenlightened; I'm sure they feel the same way about me (and non-religious folk in general); and that's fine. don't impose your belief system on anyone else, bear responsibility for your own actions (which will be viewed by others outside the context of your belief system), and respect the rights of others to have different beliefs than you, and there is no problem on that level. </ranting after a couple days of reading editorials on religious topics> (edited by Vystrix Nexoth on 06-01-04 08:06 PM) (edited by Vystrix Nexoth on 06-01-04 08:08 PM) |

| yes. go to PMA, then in the right panel, select the 'SQL' tab. where it says "or location of the textfile", use the button to select the .sql file, and submit it. may take a while if it's a large file (to upload and process). |

| jesus was resurrected. hence the death was temporary; it wasn't so much a "sacrifice" as a "temporary bummer". it'd be like "sacrificing" your computer only to have it returned to you three days later. I'm not well-versed in the story of the bible, but just a point about which I'm curious: when Jesus died, apparently he descended into Hell until he was resurrected. ... Jesus went to Hell? why? some sort of 'tough love' or enlightenment thing? of course, that only compounds the 'sacrifice' part... not just to endure the torture and crucifixion in this world, but also to go to Hell. of course, he still came back. not like he actually died (as in, staying dead and not just as a "time out") or stayed in Hell. (do correct me if I'm wrong on the above points; like I said, I'm not well-versed in the bible story) Originally posted by Sion that's viewing his actions outside a religious context, and in doing so he turned out to be all right. hence, he's all right (i.e. I agree with you). (and 'decency' is spelled correctly. couldn't hurt to use apostrophes in words like "couldn't" and "that's", though. )(edited by Vystrix Nexoth on 06-03-04 12:58 AM) |

| yep, SomerZ makes a good point. naturally, the same can be said of the native language of just about anywhere, including, of course, the U.S. probably the three primary dialects of American-style English would be: New England, Southern, and 'Neutral' (the kind a news reporter would have, for example; no real accent to speak of, just 'plain american english'). and those sub-dialects, of course, can be further divided; for example, New York City ("Nu Yohrk") compared to Boston ("Bastan"). typical example of a Bostonian dialect/accent: "De cah is pahked in hahvahd yahd" (The car is parked in Harvard yard). John F. Kennedy had such an accent. A Southern U.S. accent sounds more "twangy". (stereotypical 'redneck' example: "Maw! Git muh Shawtgun!" (Ma, get my shotgun). There are of course sub-dialects of this, but I'm not quite so familiar with them. I grew up in Montana (which is along the Canadian border, a couple states away from the Pacific Ocean) and when I later moved to Oregon (which is the state directly south of Washington state, which is in the far north-western corner of the continental U.S.), people told me I had a "southern" accent. I don't anymore, though (I don't think I do, anyway). And that's just with "native" (so to speak) Americans; there are countless other accents spoken by people for whom English is not their native language (most predominant of these being a Hispanic/Spanish/Mexican accent, due to the large number of immigrants from Mexico). however, one place where accents diminish is online. most accents affect only how to pronounce words, but for the most part, the various dialects are written in the same way. the most obvious differences are ones such as "color" vs "colour". however, idioms (figures of speech, sayings, etc) can, for example, distinguish someone who is British or Australian (e.g. "cheers, mate"), by comparison with how Americans write. of course, British or Australian accents/idioms are more recognizable to me by constract with American English, since that's what I grew up with. I'm sure that e.g. British people regard Australians as having an accent, even though they sound more or less the same to an average American. or, alternately: that British and Australian folk consider American English to have an 'accent' to it, which brings us back to the topic of this thread as originally posted. |

| well, what I meant by a 'neutral' accent is that it's a sort of 'generic' accent, not particular to any one geographic region. nonetheless it is still an accent to those who don't talk that way. |
