I don't care about the quotes, or the less-than-truly-random-ness of them, I'm just interested in the tech. I'd really like to know why it's not being very random. I certainly didn't see a whole bunch of posts in usenet saying "that damn ORDER BY RANDOM() is broken, everyone knows that", just a few saying it wasn't very efficient.

t I just love eavesdropping in here, listening to all the smart people speaking knowledgeably about stuff of which I understand about one word in ten. I think I'm a geek voyeur

Too add some contrast, I'm so ignorant of SQL that I can't even spell it.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Okay, So does this have any importance? I got it when I hit "read New" while in Natter:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected '[' in /home/buffist/public_html/classes/user.php on line 270
Warning: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/buffist/public_html/classes/user.php:270) in /home/buffist/public_html/classes/giles.php on line 11

Then I hit refresh and it loaded the page.

You hit in the middle of a file transfer. All is now well.

New, fully poseable Author!Knut.
A bunch of us got the same error, Daniel, but posted about it in Bureaucracy, where it doesn't really belong.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
After Michael's first posts in Bureaucracy, I looked at his user profile via the admin option "Maintain users." "Active" was not checked so I figured someone had already deactivated him. But then he posted again a little while later....

Well, I just changed the email and reset the password (and then changed the email back), but he's still not marked as active. How can he post?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I just had the same experience, Jon -- I thought when he wasn't marked active that you'd gotten there before me, but....
