Support for copy and pasting from ms word is the biggest issue I currently have at my day job. We are creating online learning environments where the majority of the content has been created in other formats and is copy and pasted into our systems. We currently use TinyMCE but it is a pig to work with and I'm desperate for a better solution.

A simple script I needed while debugging an application this week, thought I would share.
I have always thought it would be interesting to see what affect painting all the roof's of all the buildings on earth white would have on global warming. I doubt there is enough buildings in the world for it have any affect though.
Re:The result of pinging all the Internet IP addresses on Thursday February 07, 2013 @07:23PM (#5185443)
"After 10 hours, we got the following results: Ping overall results answered: 284,401,158 IP addresses responded to the ping, i.e. 7% of systems."

Looks like 10 hours unless I'm mistaken (it is pretty late here)

I think it is GMT 0 (Rob is UK based) so it will be a few hours ahead of the time.
Great work, Noticed this says beta does that mean there is a lot more to come?

Looking forward to seeing your results from this.
I have a 15' Mac book pro and this is almost exactly how I have it most of the time. Three finger swipes to change window is more effective than alt-tabbing for me.

This is very interesting, although anyone aiming to crawl Wikipedia should make sure they read this section on the Database download page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download#Why...

Everything should be fine as long as you respect their 1 request per second rule and their robots.txt
