  Re: Geometry problem
 
Kevin B wrote in message ... (...) Cool problem. I am actually visually able to see the fact that the "hypotenuse" of the combined area is not straight. I see the top hypotenuse as concave, and the lower as convex. It sometimes amazes me at the (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Getting a bad impression?
 
(...) [Snippage] (...) [more snippage[ (...) The from header looks worse. Are you sure that was actually there like that? I'd tell my sendmail to reject messages with a From: that badly formatted... Jasper (25 years ago, 18-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) a 64*64*4bit grayscale image, IIRC. Something along that lines, anyway. If your software supports it, it's a small image of the users' face (or whatever part of his anatomy he would care to show) Jasper (25 years ago, 18-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Serial Connection Distance
 
(...) Depends. RS232, standard PC serial cables, should get 25 metres, IIRC. RS432, which is a balanced serial system, has reaches in the hundreds of metres range. Jasper (25 years ago, 18-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Any cygwin32 users out there?
 
Hey fellow geeks, Does anyone use cygwin32 (GNU compiler and utils on Win32 platform) for anything? I gotta buncha "how the hell did you configure this" Q's I might want to bounce off your head, mostly re: bash and readline... Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 18-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

I just noticed a curious URL in this message... (URL) one with the embedded parentheses, near the bottom of the message. The code in the web interface for parsing this is incorrect, but it happens to display the hyperlink correctly there because (...) (25 years ago, 17-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: What happened?
 
(...) I'm going to work someplace else instead of CTP. My CTP email won't work any more. That's the scoop, the whole scoop and nothing but the scoop. Really. What part didn't you get? :-) Oh, ok. It's not the whole scoop. You want more details? :-) (...) (25 years ago, 17-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  WebBoard by ORA
 
Just wondering, since I'm planning on giving this a test run on my new webserver at work. Has anyone implemented WebBoard by Oreilly & Associates? I would imagine several people have used it, even if they don't know it, since several large (...) (25 years ago, 17-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Doesn't seem to hurt. Doesn't seem to matter, though, simply clicking the X by itself does the same thing on my machine. (25 years ago, 17-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Podracers Guild?
 
(...) While that is certainly amusing (although not being able to dl the stuff I need isn't) I'm still stumped as to why this is happening. I've dl'ed their 128-bit stuff for a couple years now with no problems, and this is a problem that is (...) (25 years ago, 17-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Win32 GUI woes
 
(...) I've found in the Win NT FAQ (1) that pressing the CTRL key while closing the window will save that window's settings. I wonder if this feature also exists in Win95/98...? Cheers, - jsproat 1.

(...) Hrmmmm.... have you upgraded to the latest (4.0, I think) version of AOL? Also, you CAN use another web browser, if you want.
