  Re: Arrggh!
 
(...) You can always encode the MP3's from your own CD's. You'd need somewhere like 80 CDs to get 10 GB og .mp3-files, though. But that number depends heavily on the bitrate you choose when encoding, as well as the running lenght of your CDs! (...) (24 years ago, 18-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Arrggh!
 
(...) Download? For most of the MP3s that I want, that would be illegal. So instead I rip my own -- now I can stream MP3s to work from home without people stealing my CDs any more. :) Not to mention how much easier it is to create playlists... Chris (...)

  Re: Netscape 6
 
(...) Netscape 6 includes a mail client and all the stuff Communicator does. You can also install them in parallel with no problem. I really recommend getting a nightly mozilla build from (URL) instead of the "official" version. (24 years ago, 18-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Netscape 6
 
Question: I'm running Communicator 4.75 or something. Can I download navigator 6, and "integrate" it in Communicator? Or maybe they have Communicator 5 too? --Tobias (...) (24 years ago, 18-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Arrggh!
 
How do you get *10 GB's* of MP3's? Doesnt that take *years* to download? Or maybe you're running DSL/Cable/ISDN/whatever? --Tobias, who only has about 300 MB of MP3's... Then again, the iBook harddrive isn't big... (...) (24 years ago, 18-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: A heirarchical database question
 
(...) Agreed. But the original design was broken. I proposed two alternatives, both less redundant and both "more correct", although flaws could be found in either one by the determined examiner. ++Lar (24 years ago, 18-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: Netscape 6
 
(...) Yeah. I'm not too happy with it -- it's significantly worse than the current nightly builds of Mozilla. I understand the marketing pressure to release something, anything, but it would have been so much nicer if they'd waited another month. (...) (24 years ago, 18-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) All is well now EXCEPT that i can't get printing to my shiny HP 2100 Laserjet (network connected) to work yet. Installed JetAdmin and I created a port but can't get connected to it. JetAdmin can print a page fine, but the printer isn't seen by (...) (24 years ago, 17-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: A heirarchical database question
 
(...) Agreed. But sometimes, the price paid for normalization is too high. It depends on the level of adhoc querying against the data. And the skill level of the developer. Steve (24 years ago, 17-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
