OK where's spaz.... error we are all seeing it a programming problem pertaining to lazy initialization. Spaz can you translate this programmer-ese? for your "floobyspazgoddess wannabe" namesake?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
In computer programming, lazy initialization is the tactic of delaying the creation of an object, the calculation of a value, or some other expensive process until the first time it is needed.

This is typically accomplished by maintaining a flag indicating whether the process has taken place. Each time the desired object is summoned, the flag is tested. If it is ready, it is returned. If not, it is initialized on the spot.

See lazy evaluation for a general treatment of this idea. In heavily imperative languages this pattern carries hidden dangers, as does any programming habit that relies on shared state.

Think of it like your kid wanting to go to a friend's house, but you need him or her to finish dinner first. Every time they ask you to go, you remind them that they haven't eaten their broccoli or other appropriate food. They ask again, you remind them again. It doesn't matter how many times they ask, they aren't going until they finish their food. To correlate it with the above technobabble, the "flag" is them finishing their plate. Once that is achieved, then they can move to the next step.

I hope this made sense.
 
so they are controlling our ability to fill out the form until the giveaway is open, right? any reason why one browser may work and another not work in the same time frame? or why some people never get through and some do?

I've not a clue but I'd be interested in knowing this as well. Something just isn't right with this. Seems the more allures we do the more they do to try and prevent people from being able to access it and win.

Just got 2 emails. One for the Bliss cream, one for the Suave foam shampoo. My time for the Bliss was 28 seconds past. My time for Suave was a full minute & 58 seconds past noon. How did I ever win that one?

Oh Allure, I'll never understand you.

i rec'd this today as well. :)
 
UPS brought the Bliss this morning (from December 6th). They included two sample-size products as well, so check the box when it arrives. Finally, a product I will actually use The ref. was obscured by another sticker on the box, but there is a #790630452801 which may be specific to my order.
 
darn thought I had great times w/ 12:00:11, 12:00:21 and the one that i thought was late was 12:00:54 and nothing yet UPS..here's hoping..glad it came for you Pat.
 
Sunni: Did you get any e-mail from them, as I got an e-mail a few weeks back? I have no idea of my time and sorry if you aren't getting this one...and I am keeping this product -- one of the few I'll actuallly use, so thanks for the good wishes.

Has anyone heard from StriVectin about the Dec. 8th one? I also entered for that.
