Hey, I'm only 614 messages behind - (FuManChu) - (4) - Oct. 21, 2005, 12:42:09 PM EDT

Hey Fu! Good to see Yu! :-) -NT - (Another Scott) - Oct. 21, 2005, 12:45:21 PM EDT

Um...#cherrypy, maybe? :) oftc.net -NT - (FuManChu) - Oct. 21, 2005, 05:07:22 PM EDT

Pretty cool -NT - (tuberculosis) - Oct. 21, 2005, 04:06:23 PM EDT

Time waster - try your hand at a variety of problems - (ben_tilly) - Oct. 20, 2005, 09:54:45 PM EDT

Is this a good idea? - (drewk) - (14) - Oct. 18, 2005, 01:02:00 PM EDT

Re: Is this a good idea? - (admin) - Oct. 18, 2005, 01:28:46 PM EDT

That's a definite maybe... - (ben_tilly) - (3) - Oct. 18, 2005, 01:31:01 PM EDT

You missed a line - (drewk) - Oct. 18, 2005, 02:25:45 PM EDT

Admin, we need another WeeCode... - (CRConrad) - (1) - Oct. 18, 2005, 02:32:51 PM EDT

Why not just have another checkbox on the New Comment page - (Meerkat) - Oct. 20, 2005, 08:26:42 AM EDT

ICLRPD (new thread) - (Steve Lowe) - Oct. 18, 2005, 03:18:56 PM EDT

Hard to say - (JayMehaffey) - (5) - Oct. 18, 2005, 05:06:51 PM EDT

My main issue with it - (drewk) - (4) - Oct. 18, 2005, 05:18:13 PM EDT

If that is all you have then it is a problem - (JayMehaffey) - (3) - Oct. 18, 2005, 06:32:56 PM EDT

That's an interesting idea. - (static) - Oct. 18, 2005, 08:03:15 PM EDT

What you describe is what I favor - (drewk) - Oct. 18, 2005, 08:39:30 PM EDT

Permission schemes can get complicated, fast - (ben_tilly) - Oct. 18, 2005, 09:22:53 PM EDT

Sounds like someone doesn't trust your application's - (Simon_Jester) - (1) - Oct. 20, 2005, 12:13:41 PM EDT

Yup, the same people wrote both -NT - (drewk) - Oct. 20, 2005, 12:36:59 PM EDT

Can someone give the abridged description of "endian"? - (drewk) - (24) - Oct. 11, 2005, 08:54:31 PM EDT

Big Endian is the proper form. - (ChrisR) - (2) - Oct. 11, 2005, 09:04:48 PM EDT

Thanks to all - (drewk) - (1) - Oct. 12, 2005, 09:33:38 AM EDT

Things were expensive back in those days. - (Another Scott) - Oct. 12, 2005, 09:55:21 AM EDT

Very simple - (ben_tilly) - (15) - Oct. 11, 2005, 09:12:25 PM EDT

Big Endian is also known as Network Byte Order - (tuberculosis) - Oct. 12, 2005, 01:33:13 PM EDT

Little endian uses hebrew right to left - (ChrisR) - (13) - Oct. 12, 2005, 02:40:05 PM EDT

No it doesn't, and that's the problem. - (CRConrad) - (12) - Oct. 13, 2005, 06:38:38 AM EDT

Agreed. But left wondering on Endianess of Roman Numerals - (ChrisR) - (3) - Oct. 13, 2005, 10:19:43 AM EDT

This makes my head spin... - (Another Scott) - (2) - Oct. 13, 2005, 10:40:37 AM EDT

Try it with an abacus - (drewk) - (1) - Oct. 13, 2005, 11:18:53 AM EDT

Exactly - (ben_tilly) - Oct. 13, 2005, 12:28:31 PM EDT

Hurrah for 4-bit words. -NT - (pwhysall) - Oct. 14, 2005, 07:07:42 AM EDT

OK Christian.... - (jb4) - (4) - Oct. 17, 2005, 05:47:53 PM EDT

Give CRC pause? - (drewk) - (1) - Oct. 17, 2005, 08:01:51 PM EDT

Selbstverstandlich! -NT - (jb4) - Oct. 17, 2005, 08:05:11 PM EDT

Explain - how does wrongwayaroundianism help in those cases? -NT - (CRConrad) - (1) - Oct. 18, 2005, 07:47:14 AM EDT

zum Beispiel - (jb4) - Oct. 20, 2005, 11:59:31 AM EDT

Critter's Wiki link is good. - (static) - (1) - Oct. 11, 2005, 10:29:02 PM EDT

And vice versa for me. Long live big-endian! -NT - (a6l6e6x) - Oct. 11, 2005, 10:42:51 PM EDT

16, 15, 14 vs 1, 2 ,3 -NT - (boxley) - Oct. 11, 2005, 10:57:03 PM EDT

Also note the USAmerican date format, which is MIDDLE-Endian - (CRConrad) - Oct. 12, 2005, 04:41:04 AM EDT

"Endian" is a who they offshoar IT wurk to. -NT - (tablizer) - Oct. 30, 2005, 11:59:39 PM EST

More on throwing out the code and starting over. - (Another Scott) - (1) - Sept. 24, 2005, 11:46:19 AM EDT

Yet more hype about why they are going to underdeliver - (ben_tilly) - Sept. 24, 2005, 05:47:12 PM EDT

Question is now moot (re: network scripting) - (tjsinclair) - (33) - Sept. 20, 2005, 02:32:18 AM EDT

Biggest criticism I've seen of PHP - (drewk) - (8) - Sept. 20, 2005, 09:48:44 AM EDT

Word from your Police Dept? What kind of students are these? -NT - (CRConrad) - (1) - Sept. 20, 2005, 10:52:55 AM EDT

Haven't met them yet - (tjsinclair) - Sept. 20, 2005, 11:42:28 AM EDT

I'd definitely vote for it over Front Page - (drewk) - (3) - Sept. 20, 2005, 11:30:15 AM EDT

My thoughts as well - (tjsinclair) - (2) - Sept. 20, 2005, 11:53:52 AM EDT

I'd use Seaside + Squeak + Postgres - (tuberculosis) - (23) - Sept. 20, 2005, 12:17:00 PM EDT

OT: What country code is "st"? -NT - (drewk) - (1) - Sept. 20, 2005, 12:19:18 PM EDT

OT: It's the Peoples Republic of SmallTalk. :) - (a6l6e6x) - Sept. 20, 2005, 12:31:34 PM EDT

What's the learning curve? - (drewk) - (12) - Sept. 20, 2005, 12:22:32 PM EDT

I think its easy, once you install squeak + seaside image - (tuberculosis) - (11) - Sept. 20, 2005, 02:09:54 PM EDT

There a good step by step "how to set this up" anywhere? -NT - (drewk) - (10) - Sept. 20, 2005, 02:18:52 PM EDT

You mean seaside? - (tuberculosis) - (9) - Sept. 21, 2005, 01:11:09 PM EDT

Sounds Windows-specific ... that work on Linux? -NT - (drewk) - (1) - Sept. 21, 2005, 02:08:33 PM EDT

Of course - (tuberculosis) - Sept. 21, 2005, 02:19:31 PM EDT

Raises a question in my mind: - (admin) - (6) - Sept. 21, 2005, 07:47:20 PM EDT

Everything in the image is typical - (tuberculosis) - (5) - Sept. 21, 2005, 11:41:54 PM EDT

Yeah, but where does the config info come from? - (admin) - (4) - Sept. 22, 2005, 12:11:46 AM EDT

Prompt them for it? - (tuberculosis) - (3) - Sept. 22, 2005, 12:43:55 AM EDT

Re: Prompt them for it? - (admin) - (2) - Sept. 22, 2005, 09:21:08 AM EDT

Now that's progress... ;-) - (admin) - (4) - Sept. 21, 2005, 07:45:32 PM EDT

Treat them as a byte[] -NT - (warmachine) - (1) - Sept. 16, 2005, 05:47:10 PM EDT

That's the in-memory representation - (tuberculosis) - Sept. 16, 2005, 06:27:55 PM EDT

C++ Builder 5: Shouldn't .h files update automagically? - (Another Scott) - (2) - Sept. 14, 2005, 10:46:47 AM EDT

Probably not but I don't know that tool - (tuberculosis) - (1) - Sept. 14, 2005, 04:22:19 PM EDT

Thanks. That's what I eneded up doing. -NT - (Another Scott) - Sept. 14, 2005, 04:49:32 PM EDT

Agreed. - (admin) - Sept. 14, 2005, 10:39:38 AM EDT

I considered Java briefly - (tjsinclair) - (2) - Sept. 14, 2005, 10:47:59 AM EDT

Definietly not Java or anything with a compiler - (tuberculosis) - (1) - Sept. 14, 2005, 04:20:32 PM EDT

But not as readable as Python. - (admin) - (33) - Sept. 15, 2005, 01:49:10 PM EDT

This isn't readable? - (broomberg) - (32) - Sept. 15, 2005, 05:32:30 PM EDT

Ben could reduce that to about 12 characters... ;-) -NT - (Another Scott) - (15) - Sept. 15, 2005, 05:37:04 PM EDT

Of course he could - (broomberg) - (14) - Sept. 15, 2005, 05:39:02 PM EDT

:-) Yup, but in Python one can't do that. - (Another Scott) - (11) - Sept. 15, 2005, 05:45:23 PM EDT

Hmm - (broomberg) - (10) - Sept. 15, 2005, 05:50:29 PM EDT

I wouldn't bet that it is missing - (ben_tilly) - (6) - Sept. 19, 2005, 06:39:45 PM EDT

OK, fine... but - (admin) - (5) - Sept. 19, 2005, 07:11:36 PM EDT

As I said... - (ben_tilly) - (4) - Sept. 19, 2005, 07:25:13 PM EDT

Near enough to Python, then. - (admin) - (3) - Sept. 19, 2005, 07:29:04 PM EDT

Use the socket libraries then. - (admin) - Sept. 19, 2005, 07:38:22 AM EDT

It's introduction to networking - (tjsinclair) - (7) - Sept. 19, 2005, 10:33:04 AM EDT

I'd go with socket basics. - (jake123) - (6) - Sept. 19, 2005, 10:52:57 AM EDT

Programming Languages will influence the model - (ChrisR) - (2) - Sept. 19, 2005, 01:02:31 PM EDT

I'd suggest Ruby... - (ben_tilly) - (2) - Sept. 15, 2005, 07:05:48 PM EDT

I believe I stole that example from it - (broomberg) - Sept. 15, 2005, 07:08:36 PM EDT

I'm thinking of quick and dirty HOWTO here - (tjsinclair) - Sept. 16, 2005, 01:18:42 AM EDT

Consider Object REXX - (jake123) - (1) - Sept. 16, 2005, 01:06:31 PM EDT
