I wonder if it's just too many hops? I can get there, takes me 29 hops... Isn't the default TTL for tcp/ip set for 30? Dan (...) (24 years ago, 20-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: I cannot connect to LDRAW.ORG - plz help!!!
 
(Follow-up directed to ".geek"...) OK, since I was visiting my parents tonight anyway, I decided to run this traceroute at their place over their connection, since I could *not* access LDraw.ORG from their computer *either*. :-P This is what I got: (...)

  Re: Digital camera or $500
 
(...) Actually, the school thing looks even more like a scam. Guaranteed $50-100k salary? With no pre-requisites? After a 3 week course? (Actually less, since that's assuming 3 hours a day.) They hire 99% of their own graduates? (24 years ago, 18-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

One thing I am really appreciative of is the fact that instead of implementing a separate form of folders or whatnot to keep track of links, this toolbar is just generated from the contents of (...)

  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)

(...) 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point is that the user should be always up-to-date, even without knowing it; and without having to realize the page is outdated and reloading.

  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)

  Re: Forced refresh of html pages instead of getting them from browser cache

  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: 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 (...)

  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

  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, (...)

  Re: Forced refresh of html pages instead of getting them from browser cache
 
(...) That's a keystroke, right? A process runs to generate these pages quite frequently. We want the user to see the most freshly generated page without the user having to take any action of their own. So we want to put tags into the page to tell (...)

  Re: Forced refresh of html pages instead of getting them from browser cache
 
(...) Wicked excellent. I'm going to try that. So the cookie rationale there is to avoid having cookies accidentally set twice, yes? In case one of the caching entities isn't smart enough to automatically not cache pages containing set-cookie (...) (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
 
(...) I read somewhere that not all proxy caches will observe this. Actually I think it said they only look at the actual headers, not HTTP-EQUIV. It doesn't hurt to cover all bases. See my other post for details. KL (24 years ago, 9-Aug-00, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
