ILX 2.2

IBM, for example, notches a score of 346,742 bops with a four-socket, eight-core server running 16 software threads. That beat out the score of 217,334 bops set by a similarly configured Xeon-based ProLiant system from HP and a score of 158,174 set by an Itanium-based HP server.

YAAAAAOOOOOWWWW

WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN

IBM, however, did not do so well against lower-end x86-based systems. In fact, it still trails one-socket and two-socket Xeon-based systems from Dell even with the 4.7GHz heft.

Oh I don't actually care I just like sentences where six-digit numbers are followed by the word "bops", they make me chuckle

Bookmarking a thread means I'm finished reading that thread for the time being and will return to it later, so bookmarking should spit me out to New Answers.

That's easy enough...

Also, I see no need for a "confirm bookmark" step. If I accidentally click a link and bookmark a thread I don't want I can always delete it afterwards.

The reason that is there is to prevent comedy tricksters attempting to use subversive means to fill up your bookmarks with rubbish. It has some security stuff built into it.

Ah ok, shame to miss out on comedy trickstering* and subversion all the same. Thanks for the response Keith.

*does comedy trickstering including editing drunked onimo posts? :-)

Why, do you want some edited?

* heh no that was me, you druken foo'

I shall refrain from mentioning fascism or Stalin or 1940s jackbooted stormtroopers. I ph34r your "unaccountability"!

Anyway, I'm sober, for the time being.

xpost stet you fascist nazi etc etc nazi!

guys remember how we used to be able to post to ilx in 14ft red letters.

i was coming on here just to post the link to the youtube of christopher guest calling everyone "bastard people" and saying he was quitting his position and going home to bite his pillow but the giant type distracted me.

14ft red letters seconded thx i am american

Brilliant. I was at home sick yesterday and was able to reach the server for about 3 hours before it started timing out again. :-(

Cannot post from lynx/links? ;_; Any other textmode nerds? Was hoping not to ILX up my local work browser.

Links says "7648596109056869822: Failed to insert message." (hope that number doesn't contain anything sensitive)
and lynx says "Alert!: HTTP/1.1 408 The time allowed for the login process has been exceeded." instantly, so it hasn't been allowing any time.

Yeah, yeah, get one 21st century browser, but I don't think I'm the only ilxor to use them, and they're not really that counter to the ILX Experience philosophy.

(I think they are up-to-datish versions but not my box so I'm not about to upgrade. Then again maybe I am just unlucky right now since I couldn't login from Opera at home on Mon)

...Sorry, I sounded a bit pissier than I intended, so, uh, thanks for all yr hard work. But does links and/or lynx access not work for anyone else, or is my setup just broken? If it could be fixed then I could slack a little less blatantly and that would be great.

so i feel it's time now that we be allowed to embed videos. what with all these youtubesque flash video sites with their made to embed video, the situation is so much more better than the bad old days of choicelessly starting quicktime/wmv movies.

also maybe it would be good when you hide admin view then images load - cause it's kind lame to not see images.

thx

errrrm ok i am getting this message when i try to post

ILX 2
7648596109056869822: Failed to insert message.

but only in firefox, works fine in opera and ie

suggestions?

I use Firefox all the time, no problems. What version of Firefox do you use?

2.0.0.4, i think thats the current one right?

i just tried it in safe mode and it works, sooooo what, it must be some sort of extension conflict? havent installed anything new for ages tho, certainly nothing since i last posted successfully.

can't think what it might be :(

test?

oh! ok nm. guess it needed a restart?

strange though.

<i>Yeah, yeah, get one 21st century browser, but I don't think I'm the only ilxor to use them, and they're not really that counter to the ILX Experience philosophy.</i>
There are three people use lynx, according to the logs. I'm one, you're another. I wonder who the third is?

It works OK for me, incidentally.

Maybe this has been mentioned, but the only thing that's bugged me is the endless login loop you can get into on a busy thread:

1. try to post
2. enter login info
3. wait, xposts
4. re-enter login info
5. more xposts while you were doing that
6. re-enter login info REALLY FAST
7. no luck
8. give up and go log in independently

Which is really not a big deal, but weird, since there's no "ignore xposts" checkbox -- it's too bad it doesn't successfully log you in the first time you enter your info, even if the post gets suspended for xposts.

apologies if it's been brought up already, but something i have kinda been wondering about is why i see the date + time twice for every post:

i'm using the standard stylesheet.

-- stet,

ummm if this is for my benefit - i dont know what lynx is, let alone use it? as far as i know anyway.

don't use the deodorant either. : P

apologies if it's been brought up already, but something i have kinda been wondering about is why i see the date + time twice for every post:
That's linked to the "show dates as relative" setting in preferences.

r|t|c: no, I was replyin to a passing spacecadet

i see. but perhaps if "show dates as relative" is unchecked the second, italicized timestamp should be omitted since it duplicates the first one? not a big deal to be sure.

Indeed. This is just an oversight. I'll take a look when I have some time.

Lynx works fine for me but Links gives me a 404 after I hit the Login button on the Login screen:

Apache Tomcat/5.5.20 - Error report

                                       HTTP Status 404 - /ILX/LoginControllerServlet
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   type Status report
   message /ILX/LoginControllerServlet
   description The requested resource (/ILX/LoginControllerServlet) is not available.

Wait, WHAT? I didn't post that!

HAHA oh wait sorry that was just your example, sorry

:D

I have used Lynx to access ILX, in the past. Don't think I have since ILX2 appeared.

I have a mor serious problem at the moment: I've just upgraded my home PC from Gentoo Linux 2.6.16 to Gentoo Linux 2.6.20 - and, I can't see ILX any more, no matter what browser I use.

If I do a packet capture, I can see the packets that the ILX server is sending to me. But, they get dropped somewhere in the networking layers of the kernel, and never get passed through to applications. I've tried using browsers; I've tried typing HTTP commands at port 80; and all the packets get dropped by the kernel.

I'm going to try compiling a vanilla Linux kernel to see if the problem is in the Gentoo patchset. But something has changed in Linux in the past year or so that doesn't like the packets the ILX server sends - but seems to have no problems with any servers anywhere else I use.

Internet Explorer 7 has a new interface that shows more of each webpage you visit. The streamlined toolbar makes it easier to add websites to your Favorites, search the web, clear your history, and access the other tasks and tools you use most.

Forest Pines, see this thread: Can you unblock HTTP from 65.57.245.11?

Ty Stet - I will try that next time I am on my PC

Yep - that's the issue I was having. I can access ILX fine if I disable TCP window scaling.

still getting that error message in firefox every now and then

any ideas what the issue is?

HEY WAHT ABT EMBEDDING VIDEO WOULDNT THAT BE FUN !!! :) YAY

errrrm ok i am getting this message when i try to post

ILX 2
7648596109056869822: Failed to insert message.

but only in firefox, works fine in opera and ie

This is now happening to me in Firefox as well.

We've seen that problem a couple of times, aye. A couple of people had success by nuking cookies; one guy said it went away when Firefox was started in safe mode. I wonder if there's a common FF extension that's somehow messing things up?

Forest Pines: that other problem should be fixed now.

been like this all day for me now.

if its any help i also get a blank screen on the http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/LoginControllerServlet page, altho it does seem to still log me in

so maybe that does point to a cookie issue, i dunno

yup, same thing for me. I deleted all of my ILX cookies and started again, but that didn't seem to help either. I'm going to try disabling some extensions and see what that does.

You can try starting in safe mode to safely kill them all, before trying the one-by-one:

ok nuking cookies and restart didnt help

sigh shall go ahead and list all my exts
