  Re: SSH/SCP GUI Client?
 
(...) I don't. Mindterm is nice, but it requires either getting a signed applet (anyone know how to do that? can you generate your own certificates?) or setting up a java virtual machine outside of the web browser, and that might be a pain. Another (...) (24 years ago, 5-Sep-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  SSH/SCP GUI Client?
 
Maybe this has been asked before. Maybe I'm the one who asked. I don't remember, and I don't think so. Anyway, I've got to do some file transfer and file management on a remote server. This server is going to using SSH/SCP exclusively -- no FTP or (...) (24 years ago, 5-Sep-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  "Frag without the lag"
 
Sitting in my hotel room processing factorings... I heard an ad for one of the Oz ISPs (optus) and their selling point was that if you went with their broadband solution, you'd get an unfair advantage on your online gaming buddies. The claim made (...) (24 years ago, 5-Sep-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: What's wrong with my PC?
 
(...) I checked with my BIOS, and there does not appear to be any temperature alarm limit setting. This is the Asus P2B mainboard with a fairly recent BIOS upgrade. I also reset the BIOS settings to default, but this did not help. Anyway, thanks for (...) (24 years ago, 4-Sep-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Announcing the Brickwise[tm] Shopping Report
 
(...) For now, ya, that was the easiest first step. The main reason not to include non-U.S.-based retailers here for now was currency conversion issues. (...) Let's just say that two eight packs of Guinness played an important role and that it is (...) (24 years ago, 4-Sep-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.market.theory)
 
  Re: What's wrong with my PC?
 
(...) I didn't hear any beep, it was more like barely audible clicking sounds. Also, the flashing power led was very irregular, so I wouldn't think it was a warning signal. It appeared more like it was coused by a shortcut or failed power supply. (...) (24 years ago, 4-Sep-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: What's wrong with my PC?
 
Actually you already quite guessed the problem. It is overheating CPU or MB alarm. P2B motherboards have visual (flashing power led) and audio alarms for that (beeps that you heard). Either your CPU fan is gone, or your temperature alarm limit is (...) (24 years ago, 4-Sep-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Announcing the Brickwise™ Shopping Report
 
(...) Cool. Very cool indeed. Congrats! All the retailers seem to be US based, though? (just trying to beat some non US to the punch... (what can I say, I'm in Oz, whinging is a national pastime here!)) So can you talk about the technology behind (...)

  What's wrong with my PC?
 
I have an ASUS P2B based computer in an ATX box. This is the kind with auto-power off. Recently there was a temporarily power cut in my aparatement. The PC was turned off at the time. The first time I tried to start it up afterwards, it was (...) (24 years ago, 2-Sep-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Tcl/Tk Book
 
I'm looking for a Tcl/Tk tutorial book, similar to the O'Reilly series book such as "Learning Perl". O'Reilly only seems to offer a nutshell series for Tcl/Tk and I am looking for a learning type book. Can anyone offer some suggestions?? Paul (...)

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

  Re: Tactical nukes (was: Real Pics Of New Mecha)
 
(...) LOL! "Military intelligence" hard at work. :-, In Starship Troopers (and Ogre/G.E.V.) anyway, this is addressed by the radiation suits the troops wore (as you later note). At some point in the book, when they need to penetrate an area (...) (24 years ago, 31-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Tactical nukes (was: Real Pics Of New Mecha)
 
LOL! Good ones, Mark and Jeremy! Hmmm... Here in my universe, Spamnium is too powerful for our reactors to bear... Just last week 12 colonies were whipped-out when one reactor went critical! Damn spam, wish we never even mined it! ;-) Mladen (...) (...) (24 years ago, 31-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Tactical nukes (was: Real Pics Of New Mecha)
 
(...) Sure. Look at the USMC...they _issued_ (to the div. level) 1.5kt nukes, that were man portable. Only one little problem...the rocket propelling the nuke had a range of about 2km, and the radiation was lethal at about 2.5km... (...) @22 lbs (...)

  Re: Tactical nukes (was: Real Pics Of New Mecha)
 
(...) We at Sproat Labs tried working with Spamnium (including its dirivatives Spamtomium, Spamitillium, and the dreaded Twice-Baked Spamcake), but it emitted so many bogon particles that we quickly exhausted our reserves of Fruitcake shielding...

  Re: Tactical nukes (was: Real Pics Of New Mecha)
 
I can't speak for Tom in this matter, but I've heard that Spamnium is a pretty powerful explosive source. ^__^ ~M (24 years ago, 31-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Tactical nukes (was: Real Pics Of New Mecha)
 
(...) They're in the book, too. Some of the MI had Y-racks on their backs from which they could lob several tac-nukes to either side. Heinlein doesn't specifically mention yield, but it's inferred that the lethal radius of the blast is well below (...) (24 years ago, 31-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: visual confirmation
 
(...) Looks like MSIE at home does. I'm not so sure at work. One problem is that sometimes the system can be sufficiently loaded down that the GUI doesn't respond (this is really bad with the Windows Terminal Server which I use to get access to (...)

  Re: hey ms windows folks
