Dear Lego, Several months ago, I was re-introduced to one of my favorite childhood toys, Lego, spurred by the appearance of the Mindstorms product line. Somehow, from the moment I saw that box on the shelf, I knew that I would be buying a lot of (...) (25 years ago, 30-Sep-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) My ISP (io.com) serves .shtml so they expire quickly (I believe but haven't tested), but .html files with the executable file attribute (using XBitHack) are served as if they were static, even with SSI code. I use the XBitHack approach. It's (...) (25 years ago, 30-Sep-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.publish)

| | RE: 8448 Street Sensation Racing - Are you game?
|
|
The problem with the 8448 is that the Lego motor is not powerful enough to do any "racing", or take advantage of the gear box. If you use a single motor and a battery box, then the 8448 moves rather slowly on smooth surfaces only. If you shift the (...) (25 years ago, 30-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics)

My main reason for (mostly) not using SSI on published web pages is that I suspect that it means that the pages won't be stored by proxies. Is it possible to make (...)

Hey all, I use SSI (server-side includes) a *LOT* on my Web pages. They're extremly powerful and versatile. I'm almost a firm believer. But I recall some folks warning about potential security holes and other problems with SSI. Rooting around the (...) (25 years ago, 30-Sep-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.publish)
