The text you quoted isn't perfect; but it's clearly understandable on the first read through. Lay off already.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Not for me - Might be because I'm not a native speaker. I wasn't mocking the post for it's grammar but for the sentence "but i can only write program in console and this BLACK place (shet)" and my understanding (The console is a black place) of it. I'm sorry that I didn't state this clear in my post, but the last chapter there was a crossing thought that came to my mind as I was writing "spell checker" and is more a general thought than directed at the question.
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

No, but from a guess I'd say it is somewhere around ~85'000

I've seen some huge numbers there: well in excess of 100,000 and rising rapidly.
But that was a bug...
You'd have to ask the hamsters: I'm pretty sure they keep that kind of thing, but it isn't strictly relevant in the "real world" since it measures sessions, not actual users at a point in time: if I open the lounge and close my browser immediately, I will still be counted in the "online" total until my server session expires twenty or so minutes later.

But how do you measure that? How do you tell the difference between a crawler and someone who's visiting the site but not registered?

It is the only explanation of how I solved a mystery.
One of the CCTV installs I did recently has been giving me some headaches.
Between 3.00am and 8.00 am the DVR unit has been stopping and rebooting many times in the night.
The rest of the time it works fine.
I just couldn't work out what the problem was.
I woke this morning with the cause and solution in my mind!
This unit is based in a pub, and specifically in a area to the rear of the pub which houses the Fridges, Freezers, Washing Machines etc.
During the day there is, just, and adequate power supply, however, at night the lights go off and the cameras switch over to IR.
That in itself puts the draw on the limit.
But every now and again a fridge motor starts up and the tiny extra load for the start up (not for the continuing running, merely the start - ask an electrical engineer (of which I am one from a previous career)) is enough to drop the current to the DVR, even momentarily, but enough to force a reboot!
I am running the DVR (1.5amp), The Monitor(1.5amp),3 x Power Supplies for the Cams (3 x 4.5 amp(max load)) (Total 16.5 amp) off a single spur at 13 amp. (Within the tolerance of a 13amp fuse, but still 'Hot'.
Of course this is then susceptible to line noise and current changes as the other equipment on the line is heavy.
Solution?
Run another spur off the ring to just power the DVR!
But this all appeared as a complete solution in my head the moment I woke up this morning.
Damn I am good!

I quite often do some of my best thinking not long after my head hits the pillow. It can be really annoying sometimes, as in my efforts to make sure I remember, I end up with a sleepless night.
The solution was fairly simple - a notepad and pen on the bedside table. The times I have to get up and fire up the compiler to see if my dopy ideas are genius or stupidly missing out on some vital part have greatly reduced.

I have a similar but much simpler solution. When I have a brain fart wave at night, I wake up she who must not be disturbed and tell her the idea. I can then go to sleep safe in the knowledge that in the morning she will ask me why I woke her up at 2 am to tell her x.

1/ I'm not *that* brave,
2/ She sleeps like a baby, so anything I tell her would get a "Mmmble phlumph", and be instantly forgotten. So I'd still worry about forgetting my nuggets of genius (or so they seem at the time)
