  Re: Forced refresh of html pages instead of getting them from browser cache
 
(...) And thank you for it. However in this case, it's a customer requirement that the user, in the ordinary course of events, *never see* the old page. Yes, a clever user can go schlepping around in their cache, and that's OK, but the ordinary user (...) (24 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: ibm and novell?
 
(...) definite possibility, ibm _loves_ notes. (24 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: ibm and novell?
 
(...) it just makes me wonder if big blue only wants the directory stuff or if they want to get rid of groupwise to promote *shudder* notes... (24 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: ibm and novell?
 
(...) of the other contenders include Sun, Microsoft, AOL, and the Guy Down The Street. Personally, I think it'd be cool if Novell were bought out by TLC, but we're probably not *that* marketable yet. :-P Cheers, - jsproat (24 years ago, 14-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Forced refresh of html pages instead of getting them from browser cache
 
(...) ...<smile> I think their point is that the user should be always up-to-date, even without knowing it; and without having to realize the page is outdated and reloading. At home I have the page reload every time, but here I can't control (...) (24 years ago, 14-Aug-00, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Forced refresh of html pages instead of getting them from browser cache
 
(...) Why should they have to do anything? Computers are supposed to make things easier. Telling people that they need to press some seemingly-arcane (to a new user) key combo isn't good user-interace design. (24 years ago, 14-Aug-00, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  ibm and novell?
 
(this may only affect me but here's the info anyway) rumor's floating around that IBM may take over Novell.... (URL) was the only info i could find on it... (24 years ago, 14-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Forced refresh of html pages instead of getting them from browser cache
 
(...) EXPIRES (...) Is its just me, or are you guys making this much too difficult? Or are you thinking your users can't handle the keystroke? Any user that can <Ctrl><Alt><Delete> to reboot can easily function with <Ctrl> and click on "Reload" Just (...) (24 years ago, 14-Aug-00, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Forced refresh of html pages instead of getting them from browser cache
 
(...) Why not? A simple phrase: Press <Ctrl> and click on "Reload". Why is that not viable? Why is that less viable than any of lots of other keystroke mouse combinations? No offense, but give your users some credit! (24 years ago, 14-Aug-00, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: mpeg rotation
 
(...) Perhaps and VideoEditing software like Ulead Media Studio can do it? Should be an standard function in video editing software. (...) *hurgh* /Tobbe - (URL) (24 years ago, 14-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: multi train dogbone
 
(...) Yes. Much less hoop-jumping involved. The worst, of course, is Quicktime -- stupid proprietary codec. (It'd be much less of an issue if they'd produce a player for Linux, even a closed-source one. But no.) (24 years ago, 14-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: multi train dogbone
 
(...) You do mean that mpegs are easier to view than avi's right? We use mpegs for several reasons - first of all, that's what the mavica outputs :) And second, I would hate to boot to windows just to view a clip... And third, Jenn would never boot (...)

  mpeg rotation
 
Hey all - any idea how I can take an .mpg file, and rotate it 90 degrees? I could break the movie down to jpegs, rotate them, and re-encode them to an mpg, if only I could find how to break an mpeg down to frames, without taking screenshots of (...)

  Re: Lego Maniac's Webring to move to LUGNET Soon
 
(...) Oh, I use Junkbuster occasionally; it's turned off now due to some really old issues with something I can't quite remember just yet. I'm not very worried about the banners themselves; I'm more concerned with Yahoo's advertising policy than I (...) (24 years ago, 11-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  mozilla
 
Whoo, a new patch for the Linux rendering system is in today's nightlies, causing it to (finally) be as fast as Communicator in most situations. (And faster in others -- resizing deeply nested tables, for example.) (24 years ago, 10-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Forced refresh of html pages instead of getting them from browser cache
 
(...) Right, but telling your viewers to do that every time isn't a very viable option. (24 years ago, 10-Aug-00, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Forced refresh of html pages instead of getting them from browser cache
 
(...) I'm not sure what you mean by cookies being set twice. The two functions above are used for non-logged in state and logged-in state respectively. Every page access while logged in causes the cookie to be set (notice they are not (...) (24 years ago, 9-Aug-00, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Forced refresh of html pages instead of getting them from browser cache
 
(...) BTW, the reason I *had* to figure out how to do this is because after uploading a file, the server spits out a javascript redirect (this.replace ...) to the folder url the uploaded to. If that page was cached, the user would see the cached (...) (24 years ago, 9-Aug-00, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Forced refresh of html pages instead of getting them from browser cache
 
(...) EXPIRES (...) Just a clarification, my example was for direct writing of HTTP headers, as you must do in a CGI. I suppose those tags would work as META HTTP-EQUIV tags in a web page, but I'm not sure if all proxy caches look at http-equivs, (...)
