  VT100 over the web
 
Is it even possible? My researches so far have not turned up a product, and in thinking about the problem, the VT100 protocol stream is richer than HTML, in some ways of looking at it. We are trying to determine the feasibility of replacing client (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Won't work like that, 'cause Squid is pretty strict about the validity of hostnames. (Technically, they shouldn't start with a number, either, but I guess it's not that strict.) You could use something like "q7121", though. (24 years ago, 20-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Fun with squirm
 
I'm using the squirm redirector together with squid to block banner ads. Netscape Navigator for Unix tries to load any URL which you paste into the browser window. So, select a URL, then middle-click on your browser window, and poof, you're there. (...) (24 years ago, 20-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Mozilla...
 
(...) Well, I just downloaded and installed M16 and tried to recreate the crash I was getting before - couldn't do it. All I did before was select all the text from the end of your post to the end of your sig and hit backspace and WHAM! it would (...) (24 years ago, 15-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Editing Member Pages & Netscape
 
(...) I haven't had a problem with crashing in quite a while, although the speed seems to vary from day to day. Unfortunately, I think they've got a long way to go before it's Done. (24 years ago, 12-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) thought (...) You're right - I probably am being overly critical of 6 considering its preview status. I downloaded the latest build of mozilla and tried repeatedly to respond to this message with it but it kept crashing. Otherwise it did seem (...)

  Re: Editing Member Pages & Netscape
 
(...) Remember, it's not a released product yet. The current daily builds of mozilla are much better. Expect a big improvement from the next Netscape beta. (24 years ago, 10-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Editing Member Pages & Netscape
 
(...) I'm glad that it isn't just me who found Netscape6 ridiculously slow. I thought it might be the fact I'm running on a p166, and perhaps it was geared towards a higher platform. But even simple things like scrolling my messages in my inbox (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jun-00, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Xcam's?
 
I know we've all seen the ads for the Xcam and Xcam2 from X10.com around the web, but has anyone around here actually used one? I ask because I just ordered a DVD Anywhere from X10.com yesterday so I can send mp3's and maybe video from my computer (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Pointless
 
(...) Yah! Get a bunch of those convention "My name is ___" tags, scribble their names in the blanks, and staple the tags onto the individual ants. Superglue might work too. This is how I straightened out my school of candiru -- except since the (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: Graphics Programming on the Apple II (was: Wow! This guy is good!)
 
(...) I agree that the underlying hardware is completely different, but the net result of having subpixels is similar, and leads to remarkably similar software solutions. (So much so that I hope it counts as prior art, 'cause it is an interesting (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

And the Apple ]['s 1/2-pixel horizontal shifting was the same on color monitors as green/black monitors -- that is, from the same video signal if (...)

  Re: Graphics Programming on the Apple II (was: Wow! This guy is good!)
 
I'm not a TV engineer, but I recall the Apple ][ color distribution was made possible by a trick that used the luminance signal to gate an oscillating chroma signal. The transition from 1 to 0 (or from 0 to 1) was the key that produced a color (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Graphics Programming on the Apple II (was: Wow! This guy is good!)
 
(...) Check this out: (URL). The "pixels" as you describe above aren't really whole pixels at all; rather they are subpixels, much like the red, green, and blue subpixels on a LCD display. This is exactly the concept Microsoft's Cleartype takes (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Graphics Programming on the Apple II (was: Wow! This guy is good!)
 
(...) Mein Gott! Someone who actually remembers graphics programming on the Apple II! But I remember things a little differently. A pixel was defined in a rather slippery fashion in Apple II "high-resolution" graphics. A pixel was either one bit or (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Wow! This guy is good!
 
(...) Ohh, lets. No drawing one-pixel wide white lines -- one lone pixel is either blue or yellow, depending if it's in an even or odd column. (This is due to the techniques Microsoft invented 20 years later for their ClearType technology...) (24 years ago, 7-Jun-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
