  Re: A real simple one
 
(...) Worked! Thanks. Thanks also for not ranting about how MS was braindead in how they did resize... I think under X you can just go in and modify properties directly to get size and position to change. (...) Good thing the first thing worked as (...)

  Re: A real simple one
 
(...) Might not work in this case, but this has worked for me before in similar cases: Alt-Tab to the app so it gets focus; then use Alt-Space-S to resize and hold down the Right Arrow key for a second, then the Down Arrow key for a second, then hit (...)

  A real simple one
 
Under windows 95, I've got an application window that's gone missing. That is, I can maximise it, and I can minimise it, but when I do a non maximised restore, it's not there. I think it somehow got either its size set to 0 or its position sent off (...) (25 years ago, 25-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Why MS hubris can be a bit annoying
 
(...) I'm having trouble parsing the above paragraph taken as a whole in light of reality unless you're being deliberately mouthpieceish/obtuse. Here are a few tidbits.

  Re: Why MSIE sucks for the HTML writer
 
(...) My understanding is that very little of it is based on Navigator code at this point. Early versions of Mozilla were, but then the developers decided that there was too much cruft and started over from scratch, this time with A Plan. This is (...)

  Wanna see a movie of an asteroid?
 
(URL) images were taken by the NEAR probe orbiting the asteroid Eros. It's kinda eerie, watching an animation of a rock a quarter-bilion miles away. :-, Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek) ! 
 
  Re: Why MSIE sucks for the HTML writer
 
(...) Yeah, it does. Thanks. So what that probably means is that within a year or so we'll have a version of mozilla that ultra-geeks know and love, maybe within 5 years we'll get some media hype, then we'll see normal people move over to it, some (...)
