In Windows 7, the notification area networking icon will show an error indicator if there is no internet access , and the error icon goes away once there is a successful connection to the internet .

> Thank you for contacting Sony Online Entertainment. I am sorry about the late response, we have been a little backed up. As for your situation, I do see where they admit that the end date that was posted was incorrect, but in the original post, it stated "*Offer valid between 12:01AM PST 11/29/2013 to 11:59PM PST 11/29/2013." Also later on in that same thread you linked Aslanne posted "If you'd read the whole thing it does provide the entire time the sale is valid :)
*Offer valid between 12:01AM PST 11/29/2013 to 11:59PM PST 11/29/2013."

So basically, they fucked up, they admit it, but they're going to keep their winnings thankyouverymuch for false advertising? OK, no problem. I'm never going to give another red cent to Sony Online Entertainment.

1:10 PM

Hi all.

Quick question which I can not seem to solve with google-fu:

Bob

@allquixotic plaster it on every forum you can :D

Hennes

I got IE at work and saved files end up with space rather than underscores

No idea why or how.

Bob

@Hennes version? and what's the problem?

are underscores in the document being replaced?

Hennes

Google is full of the opposite (change spaces, dot or other stuff to underscores).
But in my case those are getting removed

In the file name.

Bob

and what was the file name?

and which version of IE?

Hennes

1:12 PM

And scripts which depend in a precise filename. So I have to manually add them back

IE9, but it happens with IE7, IE8 and IE9. On XP and on Win 7.
But only on some of the computers.
Maybe localisation related

Braiam

So you download a file with spaces.txt or file%20with%20spaces.txt?

Hennes

I downlad a file like this materials_version_date.cvs, and it gets saved as materials version date.cvs

Bob

@Hennes where do you download from?

inspect the headers - is there a content-disposition header?

Hennes

No idea yet. This is at work with none of my regular tools installed and on a laptop where I am not admin.

Hmm, saves as ready shows it without underscores (and with spaces).

Hmm, I wonder if I have a reserve problem. E.g. my laptops works as expected and the trainers laptop has a safe mode on where an unsafe char gets replaced by an underscore

Psycogeek

1:58 PM

Consider the following scenario:•In Internet Explorer 7, you type a URL or click a link to download a file from a Web server.
•The file name contains a space character.
However, when the File Download dialog box appears, the space character is replaced with an underscore in the Name field.

Bob

@Hennes I still think it's some content-disposition thing

Psycogeek

When a user visits a Web site that you own, and the user downloads a file by using Windows Internet Explorer 7, the user may find that certain characters in the file name are converted to underscore characters (_) after they download the file.

lol, guess MS can fluck it up either way :-)

Bob

> On IE 6.0, things mostly work, but if you ALSO setup Cache-Control: no-cache, your suggested filename (and type!) will be IGNORED. A bummer if you have to choose between security and convienence. Of course, security wins.

> On nearly all versions of IE, including 6.0, sometimes the browser will use the filename in the address bar instead of the Content-Disposition Header, and with IE5.5SP2 you're expected to change the UseCDFileName registry key, see Q303750. This was fixed with IE6.0SP1.

hanselman.com/blog/…

@Hennes ^

could explain why it works on some and not others

Psycogeek

Therefore, you cannot cache or download content when the Content-Disposition file name token contains a file name that uses one of the special characters that are listed in the "Symptoms" section. The new version of the WinInet.dll file resolves this problem by checking for these characters and replacing them with an underscore character.

wow how long has it been since dos :-) now i no longer wonder why many driver downloads still have names like were still in 1960 .

And Why? in hex code spaces are pretty much the same as any other charachter, and all the programs handle them just fine, but use 00 as the ends and breaks and all. Why would all this web junk not stick with the same conventions used in everything else?

Bob

2:19 PM

@Psycogeek you'll find there are few "conventions" on what is allowed in filenames

POSIX allows everything but the directory separator and NUL

Windows has a couple more chars that aren't allowed

URIs must be encoded as per the HTTP specs

It's an implementation thing - when you send a request, example.com/some/page.html gets translated into GET /some/page.html HTTP/1.1

spaces become significant

a robust server would probably not care

but the standards are there to ensure interoperability

if no browsers/clients send spaces in the URL, then the odd webserver that trips on them wouldn't have any issues

when you have so many independent HTTP server and client implementations (by design), the communication protocol must be as strict as possible about what is allowed, and preferably include appropriate safeguards

oh hi @allquixotic

allquixotic

GRAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Psycogeek

@Bob yea the fact that spaces have been used to seperate command from parameters and all that since dos. why i would have used them > :-) nobody wants file names with that it it . copy|ficle>D:hokle

Bob

@allquixotic o.O

@Psycogeek oh, that was long before DOS

Psycogeek

imagine the mess i could make of things :-)

allquixotic

Bob

2:25 PM

@Psycogeek interestingly, the OS DOS was based on (CP/M?) used `>~ as its directory separator

allquixotic

it took me AN HOUR and eight minutes to get to work today; normally it takes 25 - 30, 45 at worst

I am pissed

Braiam

at the traffic?

Bob

wait, it was VOS, CP/M didn't have subdirectories

@allquixotic O.O

accident?

Psycogeek

@allquixotic that would only make me 8min late. around here if i dont leave way early, i would never get anywhere on time. commute is 2 hours to go 50 miles. on a normal day

Bob

depending on traffic, 20km across the city by road could take anywhere from 20 mins to >1 hr

allquixotic

2:28 PM

basically, I think that someone who causes an accident that leads to a very severe traffic congestion should be required to pay for the wasted time and gas (slower speed = less fuel efficiency) of all the people they inconvenience.

Bob

and then there was that time the bus driver randomly kicked everyone out about 6 stops before the end (4 before mine) and told us to catch the next one

Psycogeek

That is why i have to have movies and serieses on my GPS. leave way early, and sit around at the destination, entertained.

Bob

that was after the bus was already ~10 mins late

Braiam

@Bob you suck... er

allquixotic

look at it this way: if you accidentally kill someone -- completely by accident, without any intent of harm, but you do it, and you're remorseful and feel terrible and what have you -- you still get rung up on charges of involuntary manslaughter.

Bob

2:29 PM

o.O

Psycogeek

@allquixotic Here they just scrape them off the road :-) and go on.

Bob

@allquixotic depends

allquixotic

if you accidentally cause several thousand people to lose 45 minutes of their time and several dollars of their money (more for big trucks), you should be required to pay them for it.

Braiam

@Bob in US is like that...

Bob

> Involuntary manslaughter may be distinguished from accidental death. A person who is driving carefully, but whose car nevertheless hits a child darting out into the street, has not committed manslaughter. A person who pushes off an aggressive drunk, who then falls and dies, has probably not committed manslaughter, although in some jurisdictions it may depend whether "excessive force" was used or other factors.

@allquixotic again, there isn't always a faulting party

Psycogeek

2:31 PM

@Bob but i am sure given 3 years and another .5million in taxpayer court costs , lawyers and all, we could find somone to blame :-)

allquixotic

@Bob I can see how there won't always be a faulting party, but I think, usually, there is. At least for insurance purposes, one of the two drivers is usually implicated, unless it's something like a guy was trying to pull back into his lane after trying to merge into a different lane but his power steering computer went nuts and made him turn into the lane anyway and hit another car...

Bob

and the time spent determining the faulting party, and pushing blame around, costs a lot of money and court time

think about class action lawsuits

often, the plaintiffs receive a couple of dollars at most

the vast majority just goes to the lawyers

allquixotic

the determination of who's a faulting party in accidents can usually happen pretty quickly -- I'm not saying it's always trivial, but either someone confesses that they did something stupid, like turning without putting on their turning signal, or speeding at stupid speeds, or someone admits that they just weren't careful enough, not checking mirrors, etc

Bob

it also wastes a lot of court time

@allquixotic you think they're just going to admit it, if they had to pay?

@allquixotic but that does happen

and good luck trying to get car manufacturers to pay

allquixotic

@Bob I'd rather lawyers get rich and to only get a portion back of what my time and gas is worth, than to get nothing and let people get away with things like this -- if there is someone who is genuinely implicated, they deserve the punishment

Bob

2:34 PM

all that wasted time and money, for what? a couple cents of petrol, maybe $5 worth of your time?

from previous class action suits - you'd be lucky to see 30c

allquixotic

@Bob yeah, about one in a million accidents is the fault of the vehicle; the rest are the drivers... I don't know about where you live, but here, cars tend to "just work" 99.99% of the time, and drivers tend to "just work" about 0% of the time. drivers are absolute bumbling idiots in the USA

Bob

and then there's the issue of trying to figure out who was affected

Journeyman Geek

hm

funny you guys mention that...

Bob

and think of how often accidents happen

chasing this shit down just isn't worth it when there are so many ways to actually better society

@allquixotic then have stricter licensing requirements

Journeyman Geek

we had a riot caused by a traffic accident last weekend

allquixotic

2:36 PM

@Bob maybe accidents would happen less often if people were held accountable for the true impact of the thing they did, assuming a faulting party is determined, that is. people would be more cautious because they'd be worried about the consequences.

Journeyman Geek

@Bob: don't let people drive. Solved ;p

allquixotic

@Bob great idea! hell yes. all for that.

Braiam

@allquixotic you need to ask @JimmyHoffa what was his experiences in the DR streets

Psycogeek

@allquixotic I think sometimes it would just help if all the people who saw what happened, would all stop for 5 minutes and record what they saw. 2 times when i got royally screwed in a auto incident ONE person out of the 12 that saw it, saved my butt.

Bob

From what I've seen/heard, getting a driver's licence is far too easy in the US

allquixotic

2:36 PM

oh, absolutely

Journeyman Geek

lol

Getting a driver's licence is far too hard here

allquixotic

@Psycogeek yeah, witnesses really do help with the determination of guilt

and reduce the cost of such determination

Bob

@allquixotic oh, for the first three months

Journeyman Geek

and people still drive like idiots

Bob

then people will forget, and then "it'll never happen to me" kicks in

wouldn't really solve anything

allquixotic

2:38 PM

still

Psycogeek

@allquixotic exactally, reduce the costs by lots, when 6 people come foreward and say HE DID IT ----> lock his ass up :-)

Bob

@Psycogeek y'know, one of the bigger causes for traffic delays in accidents isn't just the closing of lanes, but the other motorists pausing to look

allquixotic

!!learn pissed '<>http://i.stack.imgur.com/8ZqNn.jpg'

ChatBot John Cavil

@allquixotic Command pissed learned

Bob

@JourneymanGeek what're the requirements?

you know what would be even better? better/more public transport :P

Journeyman Geek

2:39 PM

@Bob: I think 20+ classes and a driving test

and the driving test is VERY strict

Psycogeek

If we were all just driving around in mopeds, you just pick them up and go on.

allquixotic

@Bob here, when there is a traffic accident, the cops are just as likely to do the entire evaluation / post-accident cleanup while the vehicles involved in the accident are sitting on the road, even though we have enormous shoulder lanes on both sides that are bigger than the travel lanes themselves

Journeyman Geek

point is though, people drive like idiots no matter what

allquixotic

they basically close between 66% and 100% of the highway for 45 minutes to an hour

Bob

I'm actually not sure how our tests measure up

allquixotic

2:40 PM

that is a worse cause of a backup than the motorists looking

Bob

one computerised test for learner (must have licensed driver sitting next to you)

Journeyman Geek

@Bob: dogs arn't allowed on public transport here

3

Bob

then at least 1 yr & 120 hours driving for P1 (speed and BAC restrictions)

then another 6 months for P2, then a year for full licence

@allquixotic ouch

allquixotic

it's stupidly easy to get a learner's permit in the US, and there are privatized institutions that will walk you through the required driving classes ("driver's ed"), and they make the tests so easy because they don't want to be accused of discrimination against retards or whatever, so you basically can't fail

Bob

@allquixotic ...we don't actually have compulsory classes

so it's probably even easier here -_-

Journeyman Geek

2:42 PM

oh, learner's permit here? Need to get > 90% on a computerised test

allquixotic

with a learner's permit you can drive during daylight hours unaccompanied but you have to have a licensed driver with you if you drive at night or in very bad weather

Bob

@JourneymanGeek ya, something like that

@allquixotic wait WHAT

you're allowed to drive unaccompanied even if it's your first time behind the wheel?

allquixotic

@Bob no, you have to take a hands-on course with an instructor (but there's no test) to get a learner's

Bob

ah

allquixotic

basically, you get in a car in a parking lot with an instructor, you do like 4 sessions of an hour each, they give you the low down on shifting gears, hitting your caution lights, when to turn on your headlights, how to parallel park, etc

they make sure you aren't comatose or a cat or a scarecrow

if you have a pulse, you get a learner's permit

then you can drive during the day while you take driver's ed classes

Bob

2:45 PM

myrta.com/odkt/servlet/ODktDemoServlet?actionname=startdemo

that's effectively the test we have to take

they actually run pretty much the exact same thing in the real test

(on iMacs o.O)

this is all basic stuff, pretty much :P

common sense

@allquixotic you could probably pass it, even without knowing specific laws

(remember we drive on the left)

Braiam

to get learner's permit you get only 1 test with only 10 questions and there you have

actually the test take 15 mins but the taxes are ridiculous

Psycogeek

You have a six year old child with you in your car. You have just parked so you can collect a prescription from the chemist. You should - A) tell them to drive around the lot until you come back out B) Ask any homeless person to watch the child C) Quit taking perscription drugs, dont you know what they do to you.

Bob

O.O

> You are driving a vehicle that only has a seat belt for the driver. To reduce the danger of being in a vehicle without a seat belt, where is the best place for passengers to sit?

In the front seat.

In the front seat sharing your seat belt.

In the back seat.

The logistics of that second one...

Psycogeek

If you are involved in an accident where your vehicle needs to be towed away and the Police does not attend the crash scene, you - A) get your gun out, police will show up in 5 minutes B) Grab your tow rope and ask the dude in the 4X4, if he bought that to just look cool and waste gas, or if it can really do something C) run around in circles flailing your arms in the air and talking to yourself.

allquixotic

@Bob ha hahahaha. that's great.

Psycogeek

2:58 PM

What must you do if you miss your exit on a freeway?

Stop, and reverse back along the freeway to the exit you missed.

Stop immediately and turn around.

Gowtham

Bob

allquixotic

into traffic

Psycogeek

2:59 PM

well heck it depends doesnt it :-) how many people are behind you

Bob

@allquixotic I'd be more worried about reversing, actually

allquixotic

@Bob people do that fairly often, here, but we have enormous shoulder lanes as I said, at least on the road I frequently drive

the shoulders are bigger than the travel lanes

Bob

O.O

allquixotic

even an 18 wheeler could back up and take the exit he missed

yeah it's comical

Bob

ok, that IS enormous

allquixotic

3:01 PM

one wonders why they don't just convert some of the shoulder lane area into a new travel lane and re-pave the lines

Bob

@allquixotic I've always wondered - what're your laws about speed limits?

Psycogeek

@allquixotic One way, reverse only this ---> lane

Bob

I've heard you'er supposed to match traffic speed, even if speeding :\

Psycogeek

@Bob damned if you do damned if you dont. if ever the freeway gets rolling along, the only way to drive the speed limit is to move over to the slower lane.

allquixotic

@Bob we have speed limit signs, but cops are typically not going to pull you over if your speed is less than 5 mph over the speed limit, unless you are in a school zone or construction zone, where fines are double, therefore it's worth fining you for a minor offense due to the $$$

Psycogeek

3:04 PM

or get killed trying to folow the limit signs. But some of that is changing, they will not be so forgiving in court , if you claim that you were doing the safer thing at the time.

allquixotic

also, if you are in a fairly dense block of traffic going a very high speed, and you are not going measurably faster than other drivers around you, you won't get pulled over, either

but it definitely isn't against the law to simply go the speed limit regardless of how fast others are going around you

OTOH it can be dangerous to do so

I've read many analyses of the causes of traffic accidents, and one of the biggest factors is the relative speed of any two vehicles in proximity to one another

meaning, the lower the relative speed, the safer

of course, higher speed relative to the earth also increases the likelihood of accidents, but relative speed to other vehicles has a higher impact on the likelihood of an accident

so if you're an outlier in either direction (fast or slow), you're liable to get hit

Psycogeek

@allquixotic and 2 lane highways , where there is minimal barrier and people going high speed mere feet apart from each other still has the highest death toll.

Bob

@allquixotic ah, we're pretty much 'don't go over. no matter what.'

tokyo-jungle

allquixotic

@Bob I can probably count on one hand the number of drivers in the United States who don't speed

the question is, how much of an idiot are you

it's all relative

Bob

3:09 PM

@Braiam they really need to make the tags stand out more

@allquixotic oh, I'm not saying no one speeds

allquixotic

if the speed limit is 55, typical traffic will probably be doing 65, idiots will be doing 75, imbeciles with a death wish will be doing 85, and grandma will be just as unsafe as the imbeciles if she's doing 50 - 55

Bob

@allquixotic that's the thing

speed limit 55, typical traffic does 65?

allquixotic

if you're in the typical range, not only are you pretty safe (relative to the other choices), but you're also very unlikely to be pulled over

@Bob yep, absolutely.. I'd say that's a little bit of a low estimate, actually

70 might be more realistic as a median

Bob

here, typical is at or at most 5km/h over

Psycogeek

@Braiam dont worry, whats done is done, nobody is going to hold it against you now :-)

allquixotic

3:10 PM

@Bob and 5 mph is a bigger unit of measure than 5 kmh :/

Bob

the mere fact that you consider going ~15-20km/h over the speed limit normal is weird and scary

Braiam

here we have the signs... dunno if someone reads them

allquixotic

@Bob me, I tend to stick with the typical crowd as much as possible, and I never pass someone for going slow, as long as they are at least going the speed limit

you vastly increase your chances of being involved in an accident each time you change lanes

Bob

@allquixotic yea, your speed limit sounds more like a minimum -__-

allquixotic

people who weave and pass other people very frequently are essentially suicidal

Bob

3:11 PM

here, it's very much an absolute maximum

allquixotic

@Bob as far as the law is concerned, it's the maximum, but we treat it as a minimum

Psycogeek

@allquixotic and the cause of 1/2 the problems both accidents and slowdowns.

allquixotic

@Psycogeek yep

Bob

@allquixotic ya, but it's still a foreign concept to me

intellectually, I know that it's probably safer to match the general flow

allquixotic

@Bob I want to grab other drivers doing 85 mph in a 55 mph highway by the throat and say, "Do you *REALIZE what you are DOING? Stop jeopardizing my life!"

Bob

3:12 PM

but we get speed limits drummed into us so much that it just feels wrong

@allquixotic What kind of road is 55?

that's like 90km/h

allquixotic

@Bob an interstate highway with very gradual and long merge lanes interconnecting it to other major roads

at least 2 lanes, typically 3 or 4

Bob

and 65 is 105km/h, holy shit

@allquixotic ah

sounded like freeway speeds

which are normally 100-120 here

I think 120 is as high as it goes

that's about 75mph

allquixotic

in 55mph highways, traffic of opposite directions is separated by a large island / median strip and usually a Jersey wall, a concrete structure, so it's almost physically impossible for traffic on one side to have any affect on the other, except people who slow down to look at accidents

Bob

we should add unit conversion to @ChatBotJohnCavil

@JourneymanGeek is a real life typing dog with no human avatar or anything of the sort. He is a dog. Who types with his paws. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
