    Ben:

    If you use the same computer just push Log Me in Automatically! Its that easy! I beleive i havent been off for 32 hours either, but dont quote me on that!

    AAAAHHHHHH! If someone else tells me to check the stupid log me in automatically button again. I will scream. Beyond annoyed at this point, beyond annoyed. Sorry Ben you are just the third freakin' person to give me this stupid advice.

    P.S. Thanks Traci

    I do house calls and fix up computers for the ridiculously low rate of $30 an hour or food. If it comes to that Ash let me know. At the moment I think I have a couple of outstanding food IOU's . . .

    Hey all, Chuy's about to break 1000 posts! I think we should place bets on when he gets to post 1000. I bet tomorrow.

    It all depends on the activity of the forum... the more posts there are, the more likely that there is a post to which I am inclined to reply, thereby making more likely the chance that I break 1000. [Emoticon not found]

    one might think it would be. however, since the "new low" has happened because of an increased post count the new low actually keeps increasing because of the post count. [Emoticon not found] does it make sense? no, not really. is it right? i don't really care, it's more fun this way.

    rofl! quick! increase it to an unsigned bigint just incase he goes crazy (18,446,744,073,709,551,615 posts)! Of course, there are some implications when using unsigned bigints with values over the max positive signed value... but that's another story for another day.

    i don't think i've ever needed anything more than an int. signed. who needs 18 bajillion possible values?

    they should get a life.

    I'm afraid you would get banned before you killed the server. I suspect it keeps a total post index in one of those large numbers and bad things happen when that overflows.

    I know better than a non power of 2 number size like 10 bits, but I find the use of a 3 byte number curious. Does it have some special addressing attatched to it? I mean it probably takes more cpu work to trim it than to use a standard 32 bit uint.

    thanks for the information. I didn't want to bother figuing that out.

    multi-post aggregators are extremely ANNOYING. there are many times multi-posts are completely legitimate and if they got aggregated I'd be really pissed off. If I wanted to post things in the same post I would edit my post and add it (which I do a lot, by the way*).

    * before anyone else replies so it doesn't append the "last edited by..." I've edited this message twice since posting.

    most people just aren't that courteous... or maybe they don't know how to quote multiple posts in the same reply.

    a bit mask is about the cheapest operation you can do...

    in a database, data types usually are chosen more to conserve space than to conserve processor time. as a result, you can declare an int using anywhere from 1 to 32 bits. for some things, you only need a boolean value [tinyint(1)] and sometimes you need 18 quadrillion possible values. and you need them so bad that you don't care about the integrity of low order bits...

    the important ones:

    TINYINT = 1 byte

    SMALLINT = 2 bytes

    MEDIUMINT = 3 bytes

    INTEGER = 4 bytes

    BIGINT = 8 bytes

    i have more good intentions than i have time right now.

    i need to upgrade to the latest phpBB first. so we can get rid of all those bots.

    Well considering he is posting here, I don't think he IS clean....

    I've been known to stay clean for up to 72 hours at a time. That's pretty rare though.

    I feel very excited to have such a great support group here on this forum. Together we can conquer.
