This sucks, I was actually trying to look it up today too. I have to brush up on partitioning

 

[SUOrangeman]

Well, I have the original Word97 file, but it wasn't as fresh as that thread (even though it was in the archives). Additional comments made by forums members are lost, as I had not incorprated them back into my document.

I think I'll just repost the original in a few moments.

SUOrangeman:

What the bloody hell is this: http://3633800317/ ???





















I want one

 

[SUOrangeman]

kuk, I gotta work with what the forums give me.

The original text of the dissertation has been reposted (see sig). I'd still like the original thread back tho, if possible.

Very strange. It's not an IP address, and doesn't have a sufix ... looks like a ... telephone number?
LOL ... maybe Zuni can clear this up.


Well anyways, it's great that you got it back up.

If its gone its gone. I dont know why you guys think this is your personal storage repository .

Off topic, but the numbers above are just an IP address trick. The numbers just represent the 32 bit form of the IP (instead of 4 8 bit fields, it's 1 32 bit).

A little snippet of code I got from somewhere to translate the 32 bit number to dotted quad:

#!/usr/bin/perl
# print a 32 bit decimal IP address as normal dotted quad octets

$d = $ARGV[0];
$o1 = ($d & 0xFF000000) >> 24;
$o2 = ($d & 0x00FF0000) >> 16;
$o3 = ($d & 0x0000FF00) >> 8;
$o4 = ($d & 0x000000FF);

print ("$o1.$o2.$o3.$o4\n"

Oooo, was that a friendly jab from Zuni?

I wasn't storing that thread for my own personal gratification. Many folks have found it useful over the past year. Heck, AndyHui wants me to update it for the AnandTech FAQs. I'm just not familiar with the archive system for posts. The link had been working for over a year until it disappeared over the weekend.

Well, this was your warning. Thankfully, I don't ever post anything of value, so I didn't have to save anything

 

[Jason Clark]

SU no not at all, thats probably the 4th concern over a lost or deleted thread thats all

 

[GrumpyMan]

I think that's what the FAQ will be for. I wonder how long the info there will stay posted? Is there a length of time when the FAQ's expire webmaster?

 

[TheVrolok]

Woo! Glad it's back! GREAT classic thread by SUOrangeman.. Good thing I printed out a hardcopy a year ago to keep around.

 

[Mday]

hey zuni, how much space did those archived threads and junk take?
