The Length of the Needle

Just had the following pop-up while trying to access the last post in a Pit thread:

Funky stuff to be reading first thing in the a.m.

I just back-clicked and tried again. Got through the second time. Thought I’d let you know.

Yeah, don’t worry about it, it’s just the Gray Men testing a few things down the street…

:smiley:

Seriously, don’t fret, it does this occasionally, when the hamster’s wheel that powers the server needs a couple drops of 3-in-1 oil.

Just as I thought: The servers that run this show are all shooting dope. They need a needle of a nonzero size to penetrate.

Penetrate what is best left unimagined.

That’s vB’s way of saying “we’re about to have a problem.”

We need a board reset, apparently.

I’ll alert the techs, thanks for letting us know.

Not the first time!

A “needle” is the term for what you are searching for in a C++ subroutine. You’ll find such statements as
“The mychar class provides these functions :- …Replace all occurences of string ‘needle’ with ‘str’ in the haystack ‘val’ replace(char *needle, char *str)”

Hey – so I did good? Wow!
