  Re: HTML 4.0
 
(...) I try to with anything new I create. (24 years ago, 24-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  HTML 4.0
 
does anyone here make sure their webpages are HTML 4.0 compliant (lugnet isn't, btw ;) )? is it worth the time/effort? using style sheets sounds like a really neat idea, but it isn't fun converting a lot of poorly created sites. my new employer has (...)

  Re: Bad Choices
 
(...) People here at Boston University say "edjoo". And the domain has been around since 1986, so it's likely they know. :) It's so much less work to say. And look at usenet: no one calls the comp hierarchy the see oh em pee hierarchy, for example. (...) (24 years ago, 23-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Bad Choices
 
(...) Good, good, I'm not alone :-0 And Todd says U-R-L too! hehe... that makes the difference. ;-) FTR, I say e-d-u!! -Shiri (24 years ago, 23-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Bad Choices
 
(...) ick! URL, no way, u-r-l :) I say both "scsi" and S-C-S-I... the one that gets to me is "edu" (ed-you) instead of e-d-u :) (24 years ago, 23-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Bad Choices
 
(...) AFAIK, U-R-L ("Yoo Arr Ell") is the right way -- but people sometimes say "url" (like "duke of url" ;-) if they want to be cutesey or funny. I've never heard anyone say "url" unless they were ready to duck. :-) --Todd (24 years ago, 23-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Bad Choices
 
(...) BTW... after talking to some people on the phone yesterday, I realized that I might be saying URL the wrong way... I say it U-R-L but some people say "url" (rhymes with girl)... Or do they? :-) -Shiri (24 years ago, 23-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: I need help with my model for kidvention
 
Still, I do need some help, because even if povray worked then I still wouldnt know how to use it, someone please help. (24 years ago, 23-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: I need help with my model for kidvention
 
(...) Sounds to me like you may want to reinstall whatever OS you are currently running. Or you may try to use a more stable OS, if available. (FU: off-topic.geek) Fredrik (24 years ago, 23-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Grrr... another virus
 
Shiri, I think you can change the Outlook settings so that attachments are NOT automatically previewed or opened. Paul Sinasohn LUGENT #115 (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  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: VT100 over the web

  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)
