  Re: Web hosting
 
(...) Are you sure? I could have sworn they say you can put your own scripts up. I'll have to check this out. I havent come up with a need for cgi yet but have been fidiling around with cgi's but havent done any yet. I am quite happy with tripod (...)

  Re: VT100 over the web
 
(...) I have a few thoughts about this. If the telnet / VT100 throughput has a well- defined format, then such a gateway could use expect (or something like it) and serve HTML forms instead of relying upon the user to enter keystrokes. A side (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Web hosting
 
(...) Superuser.net in VA is pretty good. I'm working on a project here with good results. $10 a month will get you 100MB of space, unlimited transfers, shell and ftp access, cgi, ssi, anon ftp, sql, etc... There's also no setup fee.

  Re: Grrr... another virus
 
(...) Ahhh, true. That's what my mom uses, and it does open attachments automatically... so I guess that's it. -Shiri Spamcake... hrmph. (24 years ago, 22-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Grrr... another virus
 
(...) Not necessarily, using MS Outlook. In some configurations, it seems to open attachments automagically. Considering that these newer virii are Visual Basic scripts, this doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Didn't Bill Gates argue to the judge (...)

  Re: Grrr... another virus
 
(...) I think so, but I can't be sure - like I said, it wasn't sent to me, but to my mom. I just found out the consequences. -Shiri (24 years ago, 22-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: Grrr... another virus
 
(...) My favorite virus is the Honor virus. I don't know if it's new or not. It consists of a plain text e-mail message, no attachments or hidden html code or anything. The body of the virus-message goes something like: "The message you are (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: VT100 over the web
 
(...) Hmmm. I wonder (strictly for the sake of wondering) is it illegal to use the entire Mindterm package in the U.S., or just the bits that use the RSA algorithm? i.e., if a USian uses just the VT320 stuff and not the ssh stuff, is it legal? What (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Numlock in KDE / Gnome?
 
(...) Doesn't work in X. setleds is for virtual terminals. (24 years ago, 22-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Grrr... another virus
 
(...) Just from opening it? Don't you have to click on the attachment? (24 years ago, 22-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: VT100 over the web
 
(...) This may turn out to be a non issue for this client. I need to follow up on Sproat's pointers to other Java solutions but the Mindterm suggestion (which both Matt and Sproat made, independently, I believe) is an excellent one and I appreciate (...)

  Re: Numlock in KDE / Gnome?
 
(...) missed the first message about this, but 'setleds' seems like it would do the trick. try adding '/usr/bin/setleds -D +num' to your x startup script. or am i .. missing a deeper question that was in the original message? :) (24 years ago, 22-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  RE: Grrr... another virus
 
Actually, there's one with a .shs extension going around now, too. This is possibly the one you got. We got a warning about it here at work a couple of days ago. If you want any mor info on it, let me know. Benjamin Whytcross (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Grrr... another virus
 
Hey, Personally I hate getting the warnings as much as the viruses... BUT... My mom got an email laballed "Fwd: JOKE". When she opened it, it replaced the content of all our .jpg, .wav, .mp3 and other files with some VBS c**p. Lucky for us, almost (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  RSA patents (Was: VT100 over the web)
 
(...) Now, does anyone honestly believe that RSA will just let benefits from the patent just lapse? It's their #1 ticket, the cream of their crop, their reason for being. I'm sure there's something lurking within the DMCA (1) that would allow them (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Numlock in KDE / Gnome?
 
(...) I have trouble believing this, but as far as I can tell (and I asked several people who know more than I) there is no good way, short of patching the code. Apparently, the numlock key acts as a modifier in X, and it might somehow confuse some (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Numlock in KDE / Gnome?
 
Hey all, While we're injecting more life into .geek, can anyone tell me how I can force numlock on when I start my X session? I'm (currently) using KDE v1.x, but I'd rather it be a generic X solution... Thanks, - jsproat (24 years ago, 21-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
