Anyways, I'd like to nominate Shenanigansen/Lucky's "You Are A Tiger" thread [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1038674-You-are-a-tiger[/url].

I'm adding categories, what do you think we should have? Also I'll be making some changes to the layout so if it breaks you know why.

The op from the Justin Bieber cunt thread, naturally. [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/910580-I-quot-owned-quot-Justin-Beiber?p=20818874&viewfull=1#post20818874[/url]

I don't know if this was mentioned before but media tags are fucked up. [media]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14742854/stuff/asgfl%2Clk%2C.PNG[/media]

I'm thinking this OP. [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/998950-Facepunch-for-iPhone-In-BETA[/url] Big deal and change for facepunch. And its about to be released!

Even though this might sound quite selfish, I'd propose this: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1076236-QuickFire-A-little-service-I-ve-created-that-lets-you-download-files-with-no-wait-times[/url] A lot of people say they find this useful and giving it wider popularity would help me improve it.

Should be one for good threads, not single posts. Way too disjointed.

Though I'm a little selfish for posting this, but I'd like to give my upcoming map a little publicity. [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1074716-Rp_Luoto-(W.I.P[/url]) Just the OP.

[url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1061246-What-s-Your-Deal-Ryu-Gi[/url] Anyone got a working link for the sound?

So are we going to have threads just for nominations, or are you guys going to have some sort of rating system. e.x A rating to nominate for Highlights, or something on the highlights page itself? Oh, and [u][url=http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1064603-Photography-by-Jaanus.-Updated-14.-Apr]This[/url][/u] (OP) is very nice, but the photos will take up half the page.

I would recommend this lucky fuckers thread. [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1071439-I-just-got-158-games-for-free.?highlight=i+just+got+158+games+for+free[/url]

Spot on idea. Although I firmly believe it should be based on some clever algorithm of views, replies and ratings, and not soley somones opinion. Although having checked the first few highlights that opinion may not be too far off what I find interesting. Good feature.

Does it purge content when it reaches a certain age? Would suck if the whole thing was full of 4-year old crap nobody cares about anymore.

I'll be using some C code and assembly in this thread (GAS syntax, not Intel). I'll also be assuming that you know about stuff like CAS latencies, caches, and memory controllers. Don't worry if you can't read assembly - I've heavily commented it, so it should be pretty much understandable. By the way, this is going to be a long read. Seriously, it's ~2400 words. I said "Ludicrously Detailed", and I meant it. We'll start with the core of the machine: the Central Processing [url]http://www.facepunch.com/content/132-Ludicrously-Detailed-Information-How-a-CPU-Works[/url] [url]http://www.facepunch.com/content/132-Ludicrously-Detailed-Information-How-a-CPU-Works[/url] Sun, 01 May 2011 23:26:00 +0300 Pedobaiting New Version of Privoxy, PM ME to get your hands on it! <img src="http://www.wavesatnight.com/patch/06-2008/images/pedofile.jpg" border="0" alt="" /> I make quite a lot of money ewhore'N chat rooms Go into the chat and say "16(OR 18 WORKS)/F looking for an older man with a credit card WILL DO ANYTHING!"

I woke up at 3:30am to get ready for work, knowing I had to be there early because of a meeting at noon. At this point the only worry about my day was how tired I might be in the meeting... but nothing a cup of coffee couldn't remedy. My meeting was at noon, planned to last 2 hrs then I had a haircut appointment at 3:00pm. After that was a 5:15pm doctors appointment for a follow up to an MRI I had last week. I was looking forward to getting home and seeing my kids, then playing some Portal 2 co-op.

Sweet! Cooking is one of my most favorite hobbies and I'm pretty good at it these days. Back in college I was awful at cooking, but needed to do it for survival... to save time and money. Then, my brother moved in with me. He had really good cooking instincts that he learned from my parents (somehow I missed out). We did crazy food experiments all the time and started filming them on occasion with my next door neighbor. That became a dozen episodes of what we like to call, "Holy FUCK It Worked!"

I've been in for about 9 months and I'm currently with 25th ID 3rd Brigade Special Troops Battalion. About three weeks ago, I embarked on a journey to the country of Afghanistan. Now that I'm here, I feel I should give Facepunch a decent explanation of what it's like as opposed to the media's portrayal. What are the people like? Well, it's a different country in a semi-secluded region so you can expect things to be different here. The people (at least those who don't want to kill you) are generally polite and considerate. They are generally interested in what you have to talk about and are interested in the American way of life.

In WAYWO or WDYNHW someone pointed out that the resolution of floats in coordinate systems fall off as distance from the origin increases. This is something that I was aware of, but tend not to think about very often because it does not become a problem in ordinary circumstances. It got me thinking, nonetheless, possibly due to a recent interest in the Stargate TV series, about how floating-point and fixed-point/integer coordinate systems would compare in a large-scale space simulator. Our solar system is approximately <a href="http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/question.php?number=374" target="_blank">80AU in diameter</a>. At the most distant point, we determine the resolution by dividing the full diameter by the maximum [url]http://www.facepunch.com/content/119-Why-floats-suck[/url].

I'm Chrome also, good luck.

In Firefox I see the striped background with no white in front of it, in Chrome I see it correctly. Dunno if that's just my Firefox.

Make it so that it only displays a section of each post/thread and have some javascript to show/hide the rest. Many of the threads in there are a bitch to scroll past.

just curious: would anything from the GMF work? i wouldn't know since i'm not a gold member.

[QUOTE=nikomo;29556608]There's nothing worth even thinking about to put on highlights, trust me.[/QUOTE] even if there was, would it work? because i know that as a blue member you cant view any gmf posts or threads what so ever.

Hey garry, I would like to nominate the OP of this thread: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1073354-Sleep-and-Dreams-Megathread-V3[/url] A very interesting read for everyone as an introduction to lucid dreaming :smile: Good thing I found this before it was moved to the Chat forums, or else I would've never seen it.

Is this why when I first went on fp today, it was all fucked up?

I actually somewhat like this idea, especially since it's not the homepage.
