  1. @rememberthemilk I'm sure you said that last time, and the time before. You need a good todo list. ;-)
  2. @rememberthemilk I've raised it a few times, but it persists. What actual use is it, allowing "never again" then ignoring it?
  3. @jackstow For me it's "typewriter can't-find-the-shift-key" cool.
  4. @jackstow Err?
  5. @jackstow Eg: a GNU/Linux box running a HTTP server serving from a case-insensitive would, I imagine, be case-insensitive.
  6. @jackstow It's not IIS. The same will happen with apache on Windows. Etc. It's a filesystem case issue.
  7. @jackstow Of course *points to filesystems*.
  8. @jackstow Right, checking, it should be seen as case-sensitive but doesn't have to be. Which would make sense.
  9. @jackstow I'd imagine they're case insensitive no matter the HTTP server.
  10. @jackstow Long time since I checked relevant docs but I don't think the case-sensitivity of URLs is mandated either way. cf Windows FS.
  11. @jackstow Which would be funny, because domain names aren't lower-case.
  12. @jackstow goo.gl/DiTVn
  13. @jackstow Ahh hah!
  14. @jackstow As in the title in the title sequence? 'cos I don't recall that youtube.com/watch?v=yKTvAP… -- or something else?
  15. Seems someone listens to words of ex @c_of_e heads: Words of ex menmedia.co.uk/manchestereven…
  16. Dear @rememberthemilk how many times do I have to say "Don't ask again" to the rate begging dialog before it gets the hint? #Android
  17. I liked an @YouTube video youtu.be/euTQj4ssbXU?a NICK HARPER - GUITAR MAN LIVE!
  18. @jackstow Ahh, I see, you don't understand the idea of keeping quiet when you've got nowt to say? ;-P (trap set and sprung, I win!)
  19. @jackstow Hey, come on, don't knock those who have the good taste to not post just for the sake of it.
  20. @jackstow Like how people join YouTube and only watch videos, never make them? Or join TED but watch lectures, never give them?
