| 20:27 | < Serendip> | Does anyone know if exe's compiled under 16-bit delphi 1 are safe to run under windows 2000/xp ? |
| 20:27 | <@gnolam> | Depends on your definition of 'safe'. |
| 20:28 | <@gnolam> | Will they take down the system? No. Will they actually run? Maybe, but don't count on it. |
| 20:29 | < Serendip> | will they be more likely to run if they only have a few dialog boxes and do file i/o ? |
| 20:30 | <@gnolam> | What is this for, exactly? |
| 20:31 | <@gnolam> | If this some indispensable legacy app, might I suggest virtualization? |
| 20:32 | < Serendip> | Years ago, I wrote an app which created morse code wav files. Lately I've considered making it shareware |
| 20:32 | < Serendip> | For an audience of one friend who wants to try it |
| 20:33 | <@MyCatVerbs> | Serendip: do you not still have the sources? That would sound like an easier task. |
| 20:34 | < Serendip> | Yes, I do. But I don't have a more modern version of delphi |
| 20:35 | <@MyCatVerbs> | Ah, yes. ^^ |
| 20:36 | < Serendip> | I switched to coding in c. But I'd rather be lazy and not rewrite the app |
| 20:36 | <@MyCatVerbs> | Serendip: freepascal.org? |
| 20:37 | < Serendip> | I'll check on that. Does it support 32 bit windows without cygwin? |
| 20:37 | <@MyCatVerbs> | Don't know. I presume so, it's pretty modern, (except for the bit where it runs Pascal ;D). |
| 20:37 | < Serendip> | :) |
| 20:46 | < Serendip> | thank you |

| 21:57 | <@ToxicFrog> | eagain.net is an awesome domain name |
| 21:57 | <@Consul> | Not nearly as good as penisland.com though |
| 21:57 | <@Consul> | That's the web site for Pen Island |
| 22:00 | <@ToxicFrog> | I am well aware of that, thank you |
| 22:00 | <@ToxicFrog> | And I happen to think that eagain.net is better |
| 22:02 | <@Consul> | One guy I used to know once bought a domain along the lines of: thisisthelongestdomainnameitspossibletobuysoyoucanallgofuckyourselves.com or some such. |
| 22:02 | <@Consul> | I can't remember the exact one, but it maxed out the number of characters allowed. |
| 22:03 | <@ToxicFrog> | Yes, but that's just a gimmick, whereas eagain is a clever joke. |
| 22:03 | < Alek> | 255 isn't it? |
| 22:03 | < Alek> | how is it a joke, tf? |
| 22:04 | <@Consul> | I'm pretty sure it's less than 255. That number might have changed since then, too. |
| 22:05 | <@ToxicFrog> | Alek: EAGAIN is the POSIX errno macro for "resource temporarily unavailable, try again" |
| 22:06 | <@Consul> | I wonder if anyone ever registered syntaxerrorready.com |
| 22:08 | <@Consul> | I'm sure abortretryignore.com must be taken. |
| 22:14 | < Alek> | RFS 1035: To simplify implementations, the total length of a domain name (i.e., |
| 22:14 | < Alek> | label octets and label length octets) is restricted to 255 octets or |
| 22:14 | < Alek> | less. |
| 22:14 | < Alek> | RFC even |
| 22:14 | <@AnnoDomini> | What's this? |
| 22:14 | < Alek> | er. |
| 22:14 | < Alek> | can I get +u for a second? |
| 22:14 | <@ToxicFrog> | I think you mean +v |
| 22:15 | < Alek> | I think you're right. |

| 22:15 | <+Alek> | http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1035 |
| 22:15 | <+Alek> | domain name length is apparently limited to 255 characters, including tld, but not including dots. |
| 22:17 | <+Alek> | and it would seem that any individual subdomain is limited to 63 characters. |
| 22:19 | <+Alek> | ThisIsNotARealDomainNameRepeatThisIsNotARealDomainNameYouHearMe.com would be an example. :P |
| 22:21 | <@Consul> | Well, I did point out that I couldn't remember the exact name he bought. This was... 10 years ago? |
| 22:21 | <+Alek> | of course, I'm not really sure on this. -_- |
| 22:21 | <@Consul> | 11 years ago, actually. |

| 23:27 | <@gnolam> | Sometimes it's none. |
| 23:27 | <@gnolam> | But never all three. |

| 23:58 | <@gnolam> | Well, that's 2D acceleration at least. |
