Dag Nab It !!!! Spaces in the Tiny

Your Question is better suited for the Technical Q&AQ section of this website, as opposed to open Discussions.

Further postings of this type in the incorrect forum will result in your PC being reduced to a 4 bit game console. You may want to dig out the old Dig Dug and Pong games.

As for http://www.t i n y u r l .c o m / b h n x

I haven't noticed it myself but I'm pretty absent minded when it comes to roof preading.

will probably not smite you over this, as your comment relates to TR.

I suspect that you aren't screwing anyone out of techpoints for a workable solution from other members...

Further, except for riverfreight, there seems to be no question about rights to material posted here. TR as you might find, is a little different from Kazaa. Personally, I don't even have an open in the home firewall to let my kids use kazaa.

If some folks want to engage in it.. fine. I'm not going to help them either

FLAME FLAME FLAME!!!

No, no my friend! I jest! I wouldn't flame you without very good reason and you rarely, if ever, give me reason enough!

Although your posting contains several questions (I can tell this because of the 'question' marks and the fact that you wrote in the interrogative!) there is obviously debate (and sport) to be had here. Questions that rely on shared perceptions and collective experience for answers. The debate is an ongoing one and there is much mileage yet to be milked from it, methinks, and pertains to the general question (Discussion topic?) of:

"Has TR STILL not got it right?"

or

"Is it just me or are we all having a bad day?"

The difference between 'Questions' and 'Discussions' is that questions, if we are lucky, can sometimes generate 'Answers'. There is often more than one 'correct' answer, and you are sure to encounter a few 'wrong' ones, or answers that are 'correct' only under certain conditions.

'Discussions' on the other hand often raise more questions than they answer and input becomes a matter of opinion as well as a matter of fact and fiction (or even friction!). This is what makes Homo Sapiens what we are...we strive to follow different threads of knowledge and seek new ideas when the answers to the basic problems have been provided. We like to reach new heights (and plumb new depths), not just sit on the plateau.

An answer to the question 'Why?' may be 'Because!' That may be enough to answer the original question to someones satisfaction and the matter is left there. Discussion and debate follow when 'Because!' isn't enough, and there are differing opinions and thoughts or feelings on the matter of 'Because!'

So, I think you have certainly provided a valid topic for discourse, debate and democratic discussion!

This is simply added proof that you cannot get or give advice without the Man having first blessed it with his fellow Company-men. They're reading everything we put in here, you know this is true because of the Patriot act.

And don't let any of our foreign friends think they aren't being monitored, either. Just because they live elsewhere doesn't mean that we can't foil their evil plans by placing random spaces in URLs!

[I know, it had a question mark...]

I'm not parano id, you k now!

From dealing with "vendor servers" I can definitely say they MUST leave blank spaces in them.

I've never seen TR orphan a letter before, not in a URL (other than long ones) or written text.

Hey Max, you sure you don't have a big gut that rests on your space bar?

Hi Max,

I too have noticed spaces appearing where they never used to. I have only seen this since TR updated the site. I suspect that a new error crept in.

It used to be that the spaces only showed up when the URL had to wrap for more than 1 line in either the text box when tying your comments, or in the text in the posted comment.

Now, the spaces show up at seemingly random places in BOTH URLs and the text of our postings.

I use a spell checker when I post, and yet see missing and added spaces in the text and URLs of my postings.

Perhaps it is time for you and I to again write to MS. Combs and see if anything can be done.

Ok...it must have been a slow day!

That the smoking is far cheaper than the shrink bills that we would all have.

We all work in the IT industry here and how often can you say that things go according to plan? Or better still how often does anything Microsoft work as it is claimed to? I particuarly like the migration tools that work out all the big problems but leave a multitude of little problems that where totally unexpected and take forever to fix. There was a time when you could say this job will take X number of hours and will require Y bits of hardware and software now that's all gone out the window {no pun intendee there} and the best that you can do is guess what will be required and how long it will take.

It seems to me that the easer that MS make things the harder it becomes for us to do them. I can remember the good old days when all you had to do was walk in with a new server on a fork lift and spend a couple of hours connecting it and then leave with the old on on the same fork lift. Now we carry them in and spend the next few weeks getting them up and running and still leave the old on in place for a few months just in case so when things go wrong we can have them up and running in a very short time while we "FIX" the problem that has arisen.

Actually before I started working with computers I didn't smoke but I found it far more relaxing than punching out an apprentence who screwed things up {after all now days if you do that you end up before the boss with a complaint against you and some form of litergation} So I just walk away and have a smoke to calm down.

But it was good feeling chasing someone out of a building with a 2 foot long screwdriver trying to kill then for messing up a few days work in under 5 minutes because they knew far more than you did and you where only there to train them but inn actual fact you where only there to take the blame when they screwed up especially when they did something that they where told not to it was till your fault.

I have some fond memories of chasing a young apprentence out of a building with a big screwdriver trying to kill him and running into the boss who imediatly put me on holidays as I was considered as over stressed. Unfortantly that only lasted a few hours as I was the only one who knew what was going on so I was called back to finish off the job and I never did get those holidays, but it was fun.

are behind this. Imagine the reduced revenues resulting from the huge decrease in the $ per meg of storage. They have colluded with the software vendors to take the two-pronged approach to soak us:
1) Bloatware
2) Random characters dispersed for no reason

We must fight this with our awesome collective might by deleting all of the files we can and making our storage last forever.

I sleep like a baby at night. I work from my kitchen/office all day and RARELY experience problems, can you say ZERO stress.

"Or better still how often does anything Microsoft work as it is claimed to?"
Windows I can fix, I wouldn't even give the slightest consideration to using their networking products.

" Now we carry them in and spend the next few weeks getting them up and running and still leave the old on in place for a few months just in case so when things go wrong we can have them up and running in a very short time while we "FIX" the problem that has arisen."

I'm an MCNE, Novell works ALWAYS works, installs and new servers setups are as easy if not easier than they claim and only take a couple of hours, email inclusive.

It baflfes me to no end when I see all these experienced and well educated techs who can't convince a company that Netware will not only save them money but it will work too. The two companies I netadmin for now, USED to have MS servers, I refuse to work with garbage so they are both running Netware and absolutely LOVE it.

I have yet to find a reason why someone would choose Windoze over Netware for a NOS.

As for chasing people with screwdrivers, I network alone, only two companies, one under 100 users the other under 60 so it's easy cake to eat.

NOW, as for someone in the SHOP pissing me off, I only work with those who I know can build properly (cars that is). I used to throw a lot of tools at people and chase them out but now I have a good team of painters, bodymen, air techs etc.

But I still smoke (more than my chimney). Sometimes I even get gressed out and quit smokng all together (until I find a store :-P )
