Shhh, please let Mysql sleep and p_forsale



  • While refactoring some code the other day. I found this gem.

      sleep(1); // ?? let mysql save data

    I do not know how

    I do not know why

    That made me cry.....

    The following is an include file that is loaded with every page load.

     

    <code>

    </code

     My favorite array name is p_forsale()!

     



  • Smells like "pause for replication" (have loads of that in old code here).

    The Real WTF was that movie.

    This thread is now about Alan Moore, his comics and the terrible movie adaptations thereof.



  •  Haha, funny. I thought it was Richard Stallman.

    In his defense, he has refused to have anything with the movie adaptions because the studios (and DC Comics) pissed him off so much.  Also, at least he hasn't wandered into the same insane territory as Frank Miller.

    Absolutely.  It's part of why I am incredibly hesitant to see Watchmen.

    Frank Miller is arguably the best white supremecist comic book writer on the face of the Earth.

    V for Vendetta I'll give him; the lesson I learned from that is, never read the book first, and especially never have it fresh in your mind when you see the movie.  League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was an abomination as well, but I didn't much care for the book either.  I'm holding out hope for Watchmen, because hey, how can you go wrong with Zack Snyder and David Hayter on the team?

    I wonder if Moore would be less cranky if he did his own artwork.  Supposed to be therapeutic, y'know.

    That's what you think...

    Since Spectate Swamp is back I just saw this little piece Swamp Thing and thought it went along nicely with the Alan Moore theme... :)



  • @amischiefr said:

    Wait, what? Where?

    I'll freely admit that I'm fairly drunk right now, so if you're kidding just tell me. Otherwise I expect a link.

    I read the whole thing and... wow...

     

    Just... wow..

    Wow doesn't do it justice...

     <font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" size="2">But let's think about three important words here. "Fifteen hours ago". That means one of two things. Clark Kent either drank this carton of milk fifteen hours before Dick Grayson was kidnapped by Batman, and thus it is a magical prescient carton of milk, OR it's actually been a long enough ride in the Batmobile for Dick to have been reported missing, for his name to get to the missing persons groups, for them to submit his information to the milk company, for the milk company to print the cartons, distribute the cartons, and then for Clark Kent to go to the grocery store and buy the carton of milk. Let's see, by my rough estimate, that means that Batman and Dick have been on the way to the Batcave for, oh, about FIVE FUCKING WEEKS now.  </font>

    Nice... 

     

    And I love the kid "that's so queer" and the classic "shut up!" from Batman. Hahahahahahaha, was this written by a 12 year old kid?

    The only redeeming thing of the V for Vendetta adaptation is that it could've been worse. The thing with V for Vendetta is that even Alan Moore himself admits that the original setting with England surviving nuclear war wouldn't work because of Nuclear Winter and radiation spreading from the nuked countries. (And well, Blair's NuLabour didn't remove the nukes from the UK, but that's another story.)

    However, the guys who did this movie screwed up other things and basically killed the original V character. Oh, and they did a weird timeloop with the storyline: they link the Larkhill experiments with the "terrorist biological attack", when it is stated both in the comic and the movie that Valerie was imprisoned after Norsefire rises into power. Therefore they changed the backstory from improbable to impossible!

    Watchmen is already being butchered as well, and I fear what might come out of that.
