EBI and EBT

[Xenomorgue]

Question regarding "Euro Babe Index" and "Euro Babe Talk" :

What (if any) is the relation between these two porn sites?

There appears to be a lot of overlap, both in the site name and in the subject matter and in the community.

eurobabetalk was our old forum but we are not connected anymore

That is interesting Frigo. As we know from highschool biology, in living creatures cells will divide on occasion into two identical copies. This process of cell division is essential for growth and development.

"Cells divide" into "two identical copies"? Wrong on both counts.

Gotta love the irony of that duplicate post

Biology is left-wing propoganda & wickedness. Everyone who is saved knows God made everything and to delve into further and uncover the details of this is the work & motives of Satan. So as a matter of due course & in the wake of God's craftsmanship & cleverguyness and the latter & ongoing costly toll of humanity's weakness & sin, EBT popped into existence out of the ether & nothingness as aided by some rogue group of our co-decendents, the three-assed monkey. God then took a rib from EBT to create EBI. And finally, we now find that EBT is suspiciously missing, unseen & "not connected" since as EBI has inherited all and the whoring & fornication hasn't stopped since. Thank God.

Is irony still irony when it was not intended?

This (whatever it was) was the cause.

PHPBB has never developed code to eliminate double postings. It's quite strange really that given the technical nature of the code to create forums like this, that they omitted something that is not that hard to code.

It just needs a token system to alleviate that problem. You generate a random 30-40 character alphanumeric code key that is stored against each post for each user. When you click submit, the code is passed into the header and saved along with the post. A quick check to see if that code already exists before allowing the posting to be saved (at the same time checking if the subject matter and topic name already exist). If the record is found or awaiting submission, then the second submit fails with a message saying "posting already made".

Chances of hitting a case where the same token appears later is something like 100 trillion trillion to one.

I have developed this code on sites that I use which allow product postings to avoid server lag issues resulting in double posts.

If double posting ever becomes an issues...

Here is the function code that needs to be added to the posting php page.

function createPHPBBToken($length) {
$alphaPool .= "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
$alphaPool .= "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
$alphaPool .= "0123456789";
$randomName = "";
for($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) {
$randomName .= substr($alphaPool,(rand()%(strlen($alphaPool))),1);
}
return($randomName);
}

Nop is probably using an old version of SCO that will spit php out like a virus .

This forum, cells, EBT and problems in general are all liberal propaganda! Perl was invented by Europeans that can't use a Windows system like the all the decent people do.

"Cells divide" into "two identical copies"? Wrong on both counts.

That's 100% pure Walter Burns .

Trust me, my cgi-bin is empty always I hate perl and avoid that server language like the plague.

Only language at the moment that I have gotta get my teeth into is Ruby On Rails which looks pretty damn impressive.

Personally, I am not a big fan of Windows apart from as a home PC OS. I would never want to use it on a webserver. I only use it on my home PC's as its got the best support.

Getting sick of seeing "blue screen of death" though on my main PC at home. Some bios issue with my 680i mobo causing Nvidia crashes when using RAID or SATA II. Need to flash the bios but just aint got the guts to do it, lol (not because I dont know how to, but because its in a liquid cooled PC worth over £4,000 and I aint risking that).

Oh yes, that is certainly possible!
Irony may arise from a discordance between acts and results, as seen by an outside audience.
Therefore irony can be understood as an aesthetic evaluation by the audience. [-> Wikipedia]

In the present case we --the audience-- can identify three basic forms of irony.

dramatic irony: a post that questions cell division is itself duplicated.

Socratic irony: Walter Burns in the role of the scholar who disputes the elementary facts on cell division.

cosmic irony: a desire to criticise other people's posts leads to an erroneous double posting.

[Steve]

The irony that I was initially pointing to was the relationship between the topic subject matter and the double post.

"Cells divide" into "two identical copies"? Wrong on both counts.

In programming, a field can be referred to as a cell (also called that in excel). So a duplicate post using two "cells" of which the subject matter stated it was not possible for two identical copies of cells.

It just seemed ironic that it was that particular post that was caught in the SQL overload leading to a double posting and making the actual comment false (from a technology viewpoint, not biological).

There was no sarcasm or ill wit intended. I just found it ironic is all.

(note: This area which you type into in PHPBB is in coding a textarea (named due to the field type it is placed in on the database). Therefore this textarea is a cell.... hope now it makes more sense)

[Steve]

I suppose on hindsight, its actually an oxymoron rather than an ironic event. However, my mind at the time was more interested in what caused the SQL overload... lol
