Cool. No rush, just curious... 😉
Cool. I want the time to see if I can work out what one of your 'improved' compression methods might be too!

For those that use the FireFox web browser (you can stop reading now Jeff:-)) - what do you use for blocking ads? The one I used wrecked havoc on this web site.
Just the default one, though I also have a plugin called "Remove it permanently" that I can use selectively on ads that get through the blocker.

Maybe I could, but the main problem is that it's always raining... The grass grew almost to my knees...I don't' remember such a rainy and (relatively) cold summer start. 18° C in June, in Italy? Never seen this before.
It's not just you. New England is still wet & cold & rainy in late June. It should be 80-90 F, but we're consistently below 70. It might go as high as 80 today. Good thing we have global warming or it might be really cold.

It's been consistently cold and quite rainy here too. It's been the case in previous years that it's not unusual to be able to go out around midday in a short-sleeved shirt in the middle of winter here. Nights are cold, but during the day the sun usually gets things relatively nice.
This year, it's been jersey, jacket + long-sleeved shirt even at midday. It's been consistently cold for the last two months. Winter daytime maximums are often 18°-20° C. All this week it's been 12°-14° C

Chicago HAD been consistently wet and cool for spring, around 70F. But the summer solstice hit this past Sunday and we are now in the 90s. It was nice, however, to have a spring season for a change. The last year or two it seemed we went from 30F to 90F overnight. Where's Al Gore now??

Last I heard, everywhere he went to talk about Global Warming got hit with a blizzard. They finally came up with a plan. He's permanently flying around the planet at supersonic speeds spreading cold and cooling the planet...

Old Eye Alert. Be warned, if you have old eyes or have a hard time with tiny fonts. 😉

Little trick for this font problems. Hold CTRL key down and use your mouse wheel to scroll up. This changes the size of shown text 😉
Should work in all browsers and IE.

Ctrl-Plus and Ctrl-Minus also work.

Gee, thanks guys. Thing is, I shouldn't have to rely on the browser to compensate for the OP's desire to use tiny fonts. 😉

Hey Steve:
Have you been following Brent Ozar's blog on the StackOverflow Data Analysis? It's a really cool idea, they make the entire SO database available as a download that we can import into a OLTP or OLAP database and then analyze the heck out of.
Any chance of us getting something like that from SSC? 🙂 🙂 🙂 I was considering writing my own Spider to crawl SSC and build such a database for myself (primarily so that I could FT-index it and then hopefully find old lost posts), but it would be much easier this way.

Of course they can! How do you think Italy won the last World Cup?
