there were people who actually understood that string of apparently random numbers that you get when you ask for the details of an invalid page fault in Windows.
Now that's hardcore. But I guess not too difficult to believe. Of course, I always ask people to read the entire error message for me verbatim even if I don't understand it, because otherwise you end up with an error message paraphrased by someone who obviously doesn't know what the hell they're talking about, because if they did they wouldn't have had to call you about it.
Anyway, that string of nonsense I spouted up there was a regular expression. In the daily update in which he announced the ability to include comics in message board posts, Johnny said that multiple uses of the comic tag will result in multiple copies of the same comic, regardless of what you put inside the tag the 2nd, 3rd, etc. times. This sounded like a problem I'd had with regular expressions in the past, so I thought I'd make myself useful by working out a possible solution. Unfortunately I got confused and ended up with something that didn't really address the problem at all. So, like I said, don't mind me.
