What resolution are you running at? I designed the theme for 1024x768. shortcircuit is working on a non-fixed width version too, but it's a lot harder than you'd think ;) --[[User:Qrush|qrush]] 12:32, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
: Kevin Reid is kpreid_ on the IRC channel. The problem isn't so much with the resolution, such that the user may not choose to have the browser window maximized. In addition, things like horizontal toolbars (Firefox has some of those) can also reduce the available horizontal resolution. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 03:23, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

You never used Gaffers????!!? [[Special:Contributions/82.118.119.61|82.118.119.61]] 16:22, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi, this is Arie Groeneveld. If you are interested have a look at my two alternative Haskell solutions for the zigzag task. [[User_talk:Gaaijz]]

Looks like you're playing whack-a-mole with spammers. You'll need to take more extensive action because ''they never give up''. Which is sucky to the ''n''<sup>th</sup> degree, but can't be helped. You might need to ban people from particular netblocks from contributing any content (including registering). CAPTCHAs won't work; you're dealing with people here. —[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 13:34, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
: I am not an administrator; I have no particular power. I just blanked that page to reduce the amount of time the spammers have their links out. --[[User:Kevin Reid|Kevin Reid]] 14:24, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 
Spammers are a real problem. You have my sympathy and I hope you win through in the end. :-)[[Special:Contributions/82.118.119.61|82.118.119.61]] 16:29, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 
== eql and = in CL ==
Line 35 ⟶ 33:
 
Unless performance is at issue, code should be written to be clear. One heuristic for clarity is to use the most specific (reasonably) operator that applies to the types being worked with, so = rather than EQL for numbers. Also, = will compare integers and floats by value. With regard to performance: I could equally argue that a compiler with unboxed-number support but not a full set of optimizations would need to box the numbers to invoke EQL on them, but not for = since that is an always-numeric operator. So I can't agree with your performance assumption without actual benchmark data. --[[User:Kevin Reid|Kevin Reid]] 16:43, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
 
I've often contributed to WIKI sites and spammers are a bother. They just can't be stopped. They just keep coming back time and time again. Now I here they also utilise fake references and the like. I hope you win through and carry the day. :-) [[Special:Contributions/82.118.119.61|82.118.119.61]] 16:26, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

This is entirely my own opinion, of course (though I think it is not unusual). --[[User:Kevin Reid|Kevin Reid]] 20:38, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the clean up on my little addition.
