This is a far shot, but I figure why not suggest it since I've thought of this idea, even though it might not be a good idea. Granted some of the problems that one might encounter would be not enough skilled people to approve the layouts, be able to spot malicious code/faulty HTML, etc.

Anyway, my idea is that we bring back the post layouts, granted the problems we have had in the past with breaking tables, XSS/Javascript related attacks.

My idea for implementing this would be to first display the layout in plain text, meaning that the HTML tags would all be visible to the moderators that approve the post layouts, making it almost impossible to sneak some crafty exploit code in because it would be so obvious when you see it. Editing a post layout would of course lead to needing re approval as well.

After the layout has passed the 1st inspection, it could be previewed within a emulated page of posts, and any strange HTML glitches that appear would be grounds for disapproving the post layout.

Anyway, that's the idea...don't flame me too bad if it's stupid.

Alright, well I'm currently using GDI/PInvoke/StretchDIBits in order to render my image. And the current method I'm using is pretty fast, and I'm not having any issues with it so far. But what I'm wondering is if there is a Managed solution to what I'm trying to accomplish, which is to basically to set all the pixels before hand and just render them to the screen in one operation. I'm thinking that the only good solution is to just keep using the unmanaged code, since i've found that most managed solutions are almost always going to be slower then unmanaged.

What I currently got
            Win32.BITMAPINFO bi = new Win32.BITMAPINFO();


bi.bmiHeader.biWidth = 256;
bi.bmiHeader.biHeight = -96;
bi.bmiHeader.biSize = 40;
bi.bmiHeader.biBitCount = 16;
bi.bmiHeader.biPlanes = 1;

Random r = new Random();

ushort[,] data = new ushort[96, 256];
lock (r)
{
for (int i = 0; i < 96; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < 256; j++)
{
data[i, j] = (ushort)r.Next(0, 0xFFFF);
}
}
}

for (int i = 0; i < 60; i++)
{
Win32.StretchDIBits(pic1Hdc, 0, 0, 256, 96, 0, 0, 256, 96,
data, ref bi, 0, Win32.TernaryRasterOperations.SRCCOPY);
}

Console.WriteLine("Rendered 60 times!");

100% white model american. no impure races in my blood.

but seriously, i've got swedish, irish, and scottish ancestors... and a couple injun folks.


I don't really think there are any impure races. Granted that in today's society, corrupted genetic code is being integrated inwards. Example: A family line with known mental problems, in the wild would have normally been killed off or died from not being able to survive....but in todays world they are able to procreate, effectively poisoning the gene pool. Now some code changes aren't bad, and they make it easier for a species to survive, that's the code you want left in, and those are the people you want procreating.

It appears you where having some sort of DNS server problems, as nothing was able to resolve the hosts. Either that or something really is messed up on your system.

There's some things you overlooked on your designs, where are the knobs and pickup selectors? oh and what kind of bridges will these guitars have, floating or fixed?

Other then that though, those are some cool designs.

I always enjoyed looking at peoples layouts, it let me see different styles of creativity and sometimes gave me inspiration. I mean having a perfect board is alright, but having an imperfect board with different post layouts always put a little hint of happiness in my day. And the post layout approval would hopefully eliminate the really bad layouts before they even hit the spotlight, aka, contrasting colors, bad markup, etc.

I don't really call them anything, and I like to keep them on separate lines instead of having them on the same line as an if() statement or loops, etc.

Why is it that when a bug decides to bite you, it does it in the most hard to reach, obscure ass place. Like today, some bug or insect decided to bite me on the inner thigh, so every time I itch it, it looks as if I'm scratching my crotch....damn insects.

Anyone else having insect problems?

The whole idea of the approval system was also to prevent XSS exploits before they hit the users browser.... thus preventing a large number of users from getting there accounts compromised. I managed to compromise a lot of accounts when I did the XSS in my layout back in April 2006.

Those external drive enclosures can sometimes fry the logic boards on the hard drives (because there shit). I've had this thermal take enclosure kill 1 drive already. It's because the manufacturers try to cut costs and they don't ground everything like they should, causing voltage jolts that can fry the logic board.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [New.net Startup] rundll32 C:\PROGRA~1\NEWDOT~1\NEWDOT~2.DLL,ClientStartup -s

That is a known AdWare, it's supposedly for some new domain extensions but it really screws up Internet Explorer and does some other weird crap.

How to I Remove SaveNow or NewDotNet?

Both of these programs can generally be removed through the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel under Normal Circumstances.

1) Click on Start, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs
2) For SaveNow, search for Save!, SaveNow, or WhenUShop entries and click on Change/Remove to remove them
3) For NewDotNet, look for New.Net Domains and choose to Remove it.
4) Reboot your computer and SaveNow and NewdotNet should be removed.

You are freaking out over 1 day of skipping school? I skipped 75% of the year my freshman year in high school. I have court papers to prove it too. I didn't go so much that I had to go to juvenile court, got put on probation, had to take random drug tests and report to a probation officer like twice a month. I tell you it's not fun trying to pee in front of someone standing behind you watching to see if your trying to fake the test. Long story short, probation sucks balls and so does school.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I found something interesting in Pokémon again today.

Start a new game, and once you're dropped off in your room, do the following.
1. Walk directly to the stairs to go downstairs.
2. Walk directly out of your house.
3. Walk directly into the grass to make Prof. Oak take you into his lab.
4. Once Prof. Oak and Gary stop talking, continuously walk down as though you wanted to leave without a Pokémon, ignoring Oak's warnings.

After a while, your character, Prof. Oak, the middle Poké Ball, and the right-hand Pokédex will disappear, and you won't be able to move. Pausing and unpausing the game will fix the problem, but on the Pause screen lines of glitch characters will appear.

Screens of the glitch:


I recorded a video of this in VBA 1.8.0.b3 using Pokemon Blue (UA) [S][!].gb. It's a bit long, but it shows what you have to do to pull off this glitch.


How the heck does one even find such a weird glitch like this.

CSS is pretty easy up until the point you start getting into advanced stuff like pseudo elements and table-less layouts. CSS gets even more trickier when your working towards cross compatibility between browsers and strict W3C validation. Internet Explorer has a bad reputation for badly parsing CSS. Then again Firefox has some weird ass issues i've encountered as well. In a sense there is no perfect implementation of CSS just because It's so complex, and might never be perfected.
