(...) To be sure that you can eventually connect to it try: ping -i 255 www.ldraw.org That is to use the maximum TTL. I tryed it and Got: Reply from 130.226.51.217: bytes=32 time=240ms TTL=227 Which is very near the limit. (...) In Fact the packet (...)

(...) After some poking around with traceroute: Looks like it's directly connected to darenet.dk, and going through nordu.net to get there, and it looks like nordu.net's main connectivity (URL) to the US is through a tangled mess of ebone.net (8 (...)

  Re: www.ldraw.org
 
(...) we've seen this problem before... it seems that the ldraw.org site lives in the far depths of the internet. A lot of people seem to need more than 30 "hops" to get to it, and apparently, there's software out there that is just not patient (...)

  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)
 
  Re: Is it perl or C? (was: Re: Programming Brain Teaser)
 
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)

(...) There is supposed to be pretty decent Japanese support in Linux. Check out (URL) for the most popular Japanese distribution. (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. I can't recall if one has been reported before or not. If so, sorry, but if not, here is some (...)

  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.

  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)

  Re: Programming Brain Teaser
 
(...) Yeah, I thought of that one, but I'm not sure it counts as a statement. In perl, of course, it's a comment. And in C/C++, it's a preprocessor directive.... (...) Well, #define thisisnotapalindrome enifed# :) (24 years ago, 8-Sep-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
