tell James or not?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Hmmmmm, 16777215 is 0xFFFFFF - I'm guessing we had a buffer filled up and dumped somewhere in passing?

Sadly, I looked at the number of posts and thought "I recognise that from somewhere". How deeply geek (but still quite interesting;D)

There are some numbers, from coding or rendering, that you just recognise - 255, 65536 and this one is another. Sometimes it's a filled 8 bit or 16 bit binary word, or maybe a buffer size in a certain language. I'd no idea what 16777215 was but knew it was something I'd used or seen before. I just converted it back to hex and realised why it was a known number....256 x 256 x 256 - 1

Some bot randomly stuffing buffers to possibly cause software malfunctions?

The CIA? KGB?
GeSTaPo?
The Bronco 49ers?

Or just a "Hey look, I the best spammer in the world"-shte.

Holy crap. :notworthy:
I know you dig this sort of stuff, SINnie, so I'll add that the -1 was because without it you'd trip over into needing an extra byte (0x1000000). The max in a three byte word is 16777215 but there are 16777216 combinations if you include 0
