Why can't we attach mp3 files?

[Skanky Burns]

If its anything like the Australian Senate, its a "one-off" delay.

Sorta off topic, but reminds me of (re: command defrag):

if (x>y) && (y>x) dostuff

As for the original topic, we should be able to attach MP3 files, because they're anyway zipped very poorly, with minimal percent, so there's no reason to force zipping of those.

Oh, I know what ethelred is going through.

I once opened a directory with some 1500 files.

Then I selected all of them, with the intention to copy them someplace else.

Then I pressed "Enter".


That was one wasted afternoon


No, but I rebooted after a while.

Recursive algorithms in style...

And I wrote whole TP programms with recursive algorithms, you beginners

That's parliamentarism, not a parliamentary system. As far as I'm aware.

The choice of one or two houses is really irrelevant to whether Parliamentarism applies or not. Sweden had two houses up until the seventies...

The House of Lords (UK) attempted that in ~1905. They had delayed a government bill for about two years due to self-interest (something about land/money/rights and the such). So the King was asked by the PM to install a few hundred new Liberal Lords to get the required majority and pass all the bills they wanted.

I think I could have gotten away with my stunt if I hadn't put the batch file in the root directory. Somewhere outside the Path and the Windows defrag command would have been executed instead of the batch file. I put it there so I could navigate to it easily from the command prompt in safe mode. The idea was to defrag with as little stuff running as possible so there would be less of the disk nailed down.

I just changed the file name. It works right now.

It would be nice to post MP3 files for one thing any copyrighted stuff tends to be to large to post anyway. I was going to post something that was allready on my disk but I could't find anything that was public domain and small enough to post. So I had to record myself for that MP3 formated .WAV.

Can only do it once on any particular bill.

Kat,

Too bad


BC,

Thought somebody might have tried that

[Skanky Burns]

Ethelred, one thing you could do (and would be a good idea) is to explicitly call "defrag.exe" rather than just plain "defrag" inside the batch file. That way, even if you call it or any other .bat file defrag, it will not call the wrong file during execution.
