    The speed of light might very well be 670 mph in a sufficiently translucent environment.

    ...WTF?!

    [quote user="DazedCan anyone think of a way to make people actually read the comments before they throw in the umpteenth saying the same thing? [/quote]

    What Web forums need is program that can compare every post to all the previous posts and figure out whether it's saying something that's already been said. Hmm, if I could figure out how to make such a program work, maybe I could become rich and famous.

    The website www.moviemistakes.com has something like this to check whether contributors are reporting mistakes that already feature on the site. It's fairly crude though. A more effective alternative would be for all posts to pass through a moderator before they appear.

    What Web forums need is a way of arranging posts by thread so you could quickly see whether or not some post has already been responded to, as opposed to spending an hour or two wading through the entire forum to see if someone already said what you were about to say...

    "Michael" is an authentication algorithm used in WPA, a security standard for 802.11 wireless networks.

    That's actually most likely a JavaScript date function error. Seems like you have to add 1900 to the value returned to get a real-ish sounding date.

    Actually, speed of light is always the same. translucent environment doesn't change that

    Remember how Y2K happened over eight years ago?

    Nonsense. It isn't due to happen for another 891 and a bit years. We've got plenty of time to fix things.
