|
| (...) Hrmmm.... do you mean digital video? Dunno about that, but digital still cameras surpassed 640x480 a LONG time ago. (25 years ago, 30-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
| | | | | Re: Digital Photography
|
| (...) Wow -- I wonder if their technology 18 years ago was up to par with the digital video cameras on the market today? Knowing the tricks Sony can pull, I suspect it probably was. Anyone know the story on higher-res (> 640x480x24bit) digital (...) (25 years ago, 30-Jun-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| | | | | Traffic icon and link
|
| (...) OK, there's now a little honeycomb-dots icon thingy for the top bar -- it says "Traffic" beneath the icon, and it takes you to the /news/traffic/ page. It automatigically appears at the top of any of the newer pages in the system (that is, (...) (25 years ago, 29-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.admin.general)
| | | | | Text::Query
|
| (...) No, it's using a homebrew. I probably should look into Text::Query though, if it's loaded with callbacks and/or easy member-function overloading. What I threw together isn't very smart about word roots, and it isn't very fast either. But it (...) (25 years ago, 29-Jun-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
| | | | | Re: Tan color again?
|
| (...) Well, whatever the case, I just used that module for a CGI script at work. I *really* like it. Espcially, in that you can construct query strings approaching the usefulness of boolean algebra, but with a less wordy syntax. I noticed (1) that (...)

| | | | | Re: True Geekness
|
| (...) Well, one reason is that that /news/groups/ page is obsolescent, but as soon as some meaningful icon for the traffic/activity page comes to mind, then it'll probably appear in a whole bunch of places. --Todd (25 years ago, 29-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.admin.general)

I have a Menu at the top of my page that has Hypertext links to sections of my homepage. These (...)

| | | | | Re: Fun with JAVA

| (...) Boot up time issues aren't unique to Windows. I was always annoyed at how long OS/2 took to boot up at work. Now that I use AIX on an RS/6000, Windows and OS/2 start up instantly by comparison, though a large part of the slowness of AIX (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| | | | | Re: Perl rules!
|
| (...) The problem with perl, I am told, is that it's also incredibly easy to do things exactly the wrong way. In fact, it's vastly easier than to do it the right way.
