Well, being "friends" on Facebook no more constitutes real friendship than "following" someone on Twitter makes one a stalker (at least not inherently).

Here's a thought. If Matthew would promise that this particular thread would never be locked, would the discussion die?

Yes

This thread will die when the post_id overflows and ML refuses to change to a 64 bit primary key.

Then Amarillion will start another thread called "Threads lock too soon 2: Electric Boogaloo".

Apparently the exploit is read-only access. You wouldn't be able to fix it anyway. But you could potentially steal the code and the database and create a cloned site and fix it there.

What happens when the post count on this thread overflows the current year? Will we start predicting the future?

My desktop's wireless adapter completely died two nights ago. I screwed around with it for a bit this evening seeing if I could resurrect it, but no dice.

It's an old apartment building I am in. It's not too bad lately, it's heated okay. There are a few drafty spots and in my computer room it appears like the foundation has settled in such a way that the window frames are slightly warped, barely noticeable, but I think it leaves enough of a gap to let a tiny amount of air in.

Normally it's not a problem, but the temps here are currently around -25C so, when it gets that cold, it can become noticeable!

Our heating is a gas heat furnace with the older water pipes that go through the place (they make a noise when they head up). Thankfully I don't pay for heat, only electricity.

We have had record low temps all across Canada (and the USA) the past week. It's been crazy cold.

a moment of silence RIP

I have a wife, she's plenty warm.

Yup! When it his -25C or below I found I had to crank it up a little to maintain a comfort level. Housecoat came in handy as well.

Funny, I had my fan on the other night when it was really cold out because there was no way I was going to lower the heat!!!

Yeah, we live next to a street that is as busy as a highway, so we get used to the noise. The fan isn't too bad. It's a big one though. No A/C in our place, but lots of fans.

It's funny as my wife will have a friend over that stays over night and she lives in a quiet area, I am a late nighter so she will pop into my computer room telling me about every noise she hears.

I warned her about our neighbour's cat, it loves to run back and forth above us. We love hearing it tearing through the house.

Edit: Been following a great tutorial on Modern OpenGL (learnopengl.com) and it's getting really interesting, and very easy to do this. Just created this with specular light maps (the shiney parts of the crates) and a point light. Neat stuff, all using shaders which are easy, modern OpenGL, not old immediate mode stuff. Pure awesomeness!
