  Re: Policy clarification regarding catalogs
 
(...) Probably. (...) Maybe you haven't spent much time on personal homepages. Misspelled links in the source are more common than correct ones, it sometimes seems. Oh, and of course all webdevelopment gets done on case-insenstive FAT16/32. And then (...) (25 years ago, 18-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Policy clarification regarding catalogs
 
(...) Hmm, maybe that's the heart of the controversy right there! I dunno about the net population at large, but I'd certainly experience guilt feelings if I summoned up an image to which there was no readily- obvious hyperlink, because I'd assume (...)

  Re: Policy clarification regarding catalogs
 
(...) Anything in a store _is_ for sale. Anything that isn't for sale isn't _in_ the store, it's _a part of_ the store. That's the only way for the analogy of the web to a store even to remotely work. (...) No he doesn't. He agrees with me in every (...)

  Re: Policy clarification regarding catalogs
 
(...) Aha. Flawed analogy. There were NO SHEETS. It was not only out in the open, it was in the main room of the party. Jasper (25 years ago, 18-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Policy clarification regarding catalogs
 
(...) I don't see how this corresponds. 1. She didn't invite people over specifically to see her paintings, she invited them to housewarming which happened to display a few paintings. On the other hand, the entire purpose of Lego's web site is to (...) (25 years ago, 18-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Policy clarification regarding catalogs
 
(...) False analogy. Your conditions don't match Lego's, at least in my estimation. If you stated that the artist's display was on the street, in public, and has the other works uncovered in an inconspicuous but equally public location, then we have (...)

  Re: Policy clarification regarding catalogs
 
(...) All right. You have this artist friend. She paints things. She invites you and fifty other people over for a housewarming party. Great party, lots of fun, lots of neat things going on. She's got a couple of her latest paintings up on display, (...) (25 years ago, 18-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Meijers in Grand Rapids
 
(...) I believe I saw it in the GR Press but I can't be sure of the reference chain beyond that. Hey, it fit my preconceived notions about the national press so I bought it. :-) (25 years ago, 18-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Pastel = Profit (Was Re: 2000 Dealer catalogue Removal Request Backfire?)
 
(...) ...unlocked, with the keys in the contact, pink slip on the dashboard, and with a sign in the window saying in large, friendly letters "This car is free to anyone who wants it". Just to complete the analogy, and all. Jasper (25 years ago, 18-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.off-topic.fun)
 
  Re: Policy clarification regarding catalogs
 
(...) Nope, it's not. It's a very close analogy to what Jasper posted: "Yes, it is. Anything on an unsecured webserver is being published." Which you refute much more logically below. (...) Yes, but we're disagreeing on what consitutes "documents (...) (25 years ago, 18-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Policy clarification regarding catalogs
 
(...) Yeah, this whole thought of calling it "snooping" seems ridiculous to me. How many times have you had to manually edit URLs you've come across because they just didn't plain work until you "hacked" away at them? If it's world-readable and (...) (25 years ago, 18-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Policy clarification regarding catalogs
 
(...) I agree. If I can see by normal means (no serious hacking) using a normal URL and a normal web browser some information that Lego doesn't want me to see, then the fault lies with the webmaster of that site, not me. "We put all this info here (...) (25 years ago, 18-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Policy clarification regarding catalogs
 
(...) That's a false analogy. Obviously, not everything on the web server itself is public. For example, www.lego.com runs on Microsoft IIS on top of NT 4 -- obviously the system software is not publicly viewable. But everything in the "documents to (...)

  Re: Policy clarification regarding catalogs
 
(...) Not to put to fine a point on it...hogwash. That's the same logic as "Anything in a store is for sale, that's what a store is FOR." James (URL) (25 years ago, 17-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Pastel = Profit (Was Re: 2000 Dealer catalogue Removal Request Backfire?)
 
(...) Well, it was apparantly an error on somebody's part, because the pics and links are gone. Honest curiosity, how does that affect the 'public info' thing? I mean, I agree with most of the people around here, that if information is on the public (...) (25 years ago, 17-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

  Re: Pastel = Profit (Was Re: 2000 Dealer catalogue Removal Request Backfire?)
 
Yep, and I'll respect that statement. But I certainly WON'T agree with it. Putting pics on an open website and then saying "hey don't look at those" is NOT the way to run a website. Don't put them there in the first place, if you don't want them (...) (25 years ago, 17-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.general)

  Re: Ponte Vecchio - Elevated Road Bridge Over Rail
 
(...) Huh. Well, it's entirely possible that the walkway once connected the Uffizi to Pitti. I mean, certainly the Machiavelli had enough money to throw at it to get it accomplished. It seems a little absurd, but certainly physically possible, and I (...) (25 years ago, 17-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
