After seeing you response, I called my friend and he tried from home and it seems to work.
But the PC I am on is like a quarantined Cellular Jail where nothing can be cleared. So if it works, I should be smiling else I need to kick the browser and logout.

It'll do that for me if i select a valid option and enter a text response. But, it actually saves both. So i don't mind.

If you google for CMPXHG8 (no, I don't do that every day) one of the first links points to a CP forum message, but not to the right one[^].
Anything CP can do to fix this?

It's difficult because Google indexes PermaLinks, and each permalink contains text to messages not actually referred to by the permalink.
We would make it so that when Google requests a Permalink all they see is that specific question, but I'm not 100% sure this would help

Hi Chris,
I'm not sure I understand all this, I am still struggling with the permalink concept.
But your speed today is amazing.

Me neither. But I do search for CMPXCHG8 occasionally, just for fun
And in fact Google return what you asked for, because you failed to initialize ECX:EBX pair in your search query, so Google returned random garbage that was there

O, my mistake. That is what you get when using strict language compilers most of the time.
Thanks for pointing this out.

Me neither. I've seen the instruction years ago, never have actually found a real use for it.

Not sure if I should continue this thread in the wrong forum, but anyway...
The double-length compare-exchange would be very handy if vb.net would allow it to be used on a structure containing an object reference and a counter. Among other things, it would make it much more practical to use pooled objects while operating on lock-free data structures.
As a simple example (and this is one that .net actually will facilitate) suppose that you have a 64-bit number in memory and you wish to perform bitwise 'and' and 'xor' operations upon it. Even though multiple threads may attempt to perform operations simultaneously, you want to guarantee that the number will not be corrupted. If in one thread you wrote var = var or 1 and in another thread var = var or 2 there would be no guarantee as to what var would end up containing.
CompareExchange allows a solution.
Sub BitMaskLong(ByRef Dest as Long, ByVal AndMask as Long, Byval XorMask as Long)
Dim OldVal, NewVal as Long
Do
OldVal = Dest
NewVal = (OldVal and AndMask) xor XorMask
Loop While Threading.Interlocked.CompareExchange(Dest, NewVal, OldVal) <> OldVal
End SubThe compare-exchange performed in the last statement will write the newly-computed value to the destination variable unless something else has change it since it was first read. If it has been changed, it will be reread and the new value recomputed. Provided that the computation between the read and the compare-exchange is shorter than a timeslice, the compare-exchange is unlikely to fail more than once for each processor in the system (indeed, most of the time it will succeed on the first try).

Possibly so.

At the top of every article when a user is logged in you see the following information:
Print Report Article Watch Bookmark Discuss
Would it be possible to add a button for 'Publicly Recommend' next to the bookmark.
I know their is a setting to make all future bookmarks recommended, but I want to be selective of which go through and which don't. This suggestion is just for a matter of convenience, I know their are ways to do this currently.

What about if we removed the 'Watch' icon and replaced it with a 'Bookmark Publicly' link?

Wouldn't those two buttons serve two different purposes? I thought the 'Watch' feature notified the watcher of updates, replacing it would remove the watching functionality wouldn't it?

I was thinking that bookmarks could be 'watched' by default.

That would be cool. Been using the bookmark feature more and more, and it's great

This user[^] has been cross-post spamming multiple forums today, and appears to have been subtly spamming article forums for several days.

Yeah, I guess the myriad of "Nice!" and "Thanks!" comments to arbitrary articles with a link to his blog wasn't enough, so he's upped the antey and is blantently spamming now.

I guess a blog full of links to other people's work just wasn't bringing in the ad revenue... 
Chris, ever thought of adding rel="nofollow" server-side?
