Thanks for the quick response. The heart surgery sounds interesting. I'll fix it myself if I can, if not I'll wait for the multiuser version.

It looks like init.php is hard coded as well.
$sql = "select aging from feeds where id='$id'";
$sql = "delete from items where `feed_id`=$id and `star`!=1 and `read`=1 and to_days(CURDATE()) - to_days(`timestamp`) > $keep_days";

I'm using the 9 November tarball

I am using a custom prefix in my install ("wp_mc_") and got the error Creating indexes...
Can't create index. Mysql says: Table 'user763_blog.items' doesn't exist

In install.php line 135 I had to change it to
if(!fof_do_query("ALTER TABLE `$FOF_ITEM_TABLE` ADD INDEX `feed_id_idx` ( `feed_id` )", 1) && mysql_errno() != 1061)

similar for line 140

the items table name is hard coded in those lines instead of taking the value from config.php

Ford, GM and Chrysler have asked Congress for $25 Bn bailout overnight. GM could run out of cash in weeks.

Duncan, what a wonderful idea, please print it out and send via snail mail to the PM, Cabinet, the opposition and main stream media. They pay more attention to communication with stamps as it is tracked and can bite them on the backside in the future.

Sadly the detail of the "$6.2 Billion" is a typical government shell game.

The next Federal election must be held on or before 16 April 2011.

The key measure of the $6.2bn is the new scheme:
"A better-targeted, greener, $3.4 billion assistance program, the Automotive Transformation Scheme (ATS), running from 2011 to 2020;"

So that's if the Labor Party wins the next election.

If we discount that $3.4 billion by the current 10 year bond rate (to cover 2011 to 2020) then discount it again by the current 3 year bond rate before it starts, we get down to between $2.2b and $2.3b in today's dollars (that's not necessarily the best practice but it makes the point).

If you check the ALP web page for the A new car plan for a greener future you'll see the other measures, but they're mostly small potatoes.

Lastly do we want the Australian government owning GM? Have they run any government owned businesses well? Surely the future fund will consider the investment,

US car manufacturers carry a lot of unfunded pension liabilities and have been complaining they cannot compete by manufacturing cars in the USA. Toyota on the other hand has 13 plants in the USA and another being build in Mississippi.

Porsche used that poor sentiment in the investment community to fleece hedge funds of about $40 Billion see http://www.wealthesteem.org/porsche-fleece-hedg...
