  Re: Is it perl or C? (was: Re: Programming Brain Teaser)
 
(...) Well, this is an example of horrific code, because it was purposely written so that it would parse, compile, and run in two different languages ... actual C code or Perl code is usually much nicer to look at and understand. BUT, let it be said (...) (24 years ago, 13-Sep-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

When looking at this, I can't believe I actually wanted to learn how to program ^-^ I thought it was much more simple, like AppleScript or the POV-ray scene description language. --Tobias David Eaton wrote: <SNIP> (...) (24 years ago, 13-Sep-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: Japanese in Windows or Linux
 
I don't know anything about Linux, but Microsoft has some multilanguage support packs for Windows 98 and Explorer at their Windows update site. I'm sure they already have the far east languages, too. To go there, just click on the "Windows Update" (...) (24 years ago, 13-Sep-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  LEGO(r) Vending Machine
 
Hi to various groups. While I was in Brisbane, visiting Mark Harrison and friends, I heard rumors that the Brisbane airport had a Lego(r)vending machine.

  Re: The Law of Falling Lego
 
Here's a more accurate calculation (deals with different surfaces): L = (H(R/50)+B)/S Set H to the height of the table, B to the number of studs of the brick, R to the radius you get with (H*6) and finally, S to the "bounciness" of the surface. A (...) (24 years ago, 10-Sep-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

This looks *great*, and I love crossword puzzles, but... (...) on my browser, but I sure can't find it... <frown>... should I pass this on to the geeks?... ;-) I guess I'll use the printable version for now. Great stuff! -Shiri (24 years ago, 9-Sep-00, to lugnet.fun, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: SSH/SCP GUI Client?
 
(...) There are two good 'doze programs I've found to handle this. Take a look at PuTTY (which does do scp also) and TeraTerm with the SSH plugin. Hope this helps. (24 years ago, 8-Sep-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
