Good one -- posts in the last n hours would be cool.
but the diet too because I want to be immortalised
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's fricking annoying because my work connection and IE caches the hell out of everything but here. So www.worldcrossing.com is refreshed once a day (terribly annoying), but I can't hit the back button here without a reload.
I like home connection and Opera much better.

Philosophically, I think a browser shouldn't cache things with a question mark in the URL, because they're by definition dynamic.
But I don't know what I think my browser should do with a page that I'm getting to via the Back Button (second most common navational device online, Jakob says) -- it it's just one step back in the history, what does the user want? Don't they want the thing they saw there last time they were there?

Loving the ability to go to 20 or 50 posts per click. Just what I wanted.

Aargh!
I just got this "quote":
Jimmy Olsen joke, sir. Pretty much gonna be lost on you, huh? Xander, 'The Zeppo'
No, no, no. It's definitely:
Jimmy Olsen jokes're pretty much gonna be lost on you, huh?
Xander never calls Giles "sir"! He called him "G-Man" once and Giles immediately said "never call me that again", but I digress.
Please fix it? Or can we build an interface so that admins can fix it?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
You know what's hard? Trying to remember a google search string from two months back. I couldn't find the original stuff I looked at.
Looking around today, it looks like I only remembered part of the story. Browsers can cache php pages, but as John notes, if you're building pages dynamically, you usually want them to remain dynamic. So if you want to prevent (or force) caching in php, you can use the Cache-Control command in the header of the php page. The problem is that Opera seems to ignore this command, and caches the pages anyway. The other problem is that I can't find the original page where I read this, but here are a couple I found today.
Don't know how useful they'll be.

John, what's your source? The transcript says "sir", and it's what I've been using as the final arbiter.
Any volunteers to code a quote interface? It's been lurking on the to do list forever.
Off to research session_cache_limiter.

No matter what the browser or the server says, the ISP's servers, the middle men, can be set to ignore cache/no-cache headers, because it saves them money.
Damn capitalism!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But we have a problem where for a given ISP, IE won't cache even a little. So it's not a middle man thing, and as such, maybe we can affect it.

John, what's your source? The transcript says "sir", and it's what I've been using as the final arbiter.
The transcript? Like someone copying it down, or the subtitles?
My source is common sense and having watched the episode and not being deaf, I guess. I mean you can see how someone could make that mistake, but are you really going to argue for "sir"?
I just know I'm right. Not that that helps.
Where's the shooting script? What episode is it anyway? Doomed, or Zeppo, isn't it?
This is going to be another "she doesn't know what please is" thing, isn't it?
Any volunteers to code a quote interface? It's been lurking on the to do list forever.
I'll do it! Do a "describe" on the quotes table and post it here, then I can play on my server.
