  Re: Hot Paper?
 
(...) Being in a vacuum, how would you heat the surroundng nothingness to 500 degrees? Aren't vacuums, by definition, a few degrees above absolute zero? --Electro-- (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: "jump.cgi" considered harmful ? (1)
 
Is it possible there's any firewall issues? I know at work I regularly see situations where it takes ages for a page to come up, during which time, I can't do anything else in Netscape because the whole thing is locked up (it won't even re-paint (...)

(...) Well being in a vacuum I know it won't burn. My guess is that nothing will happen but I could be wrong. Eric K. (24 years ago, 27-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Hot Paper?
 
(...) Just venturing a guess, I would say it depends on how long it was in the vacuum before you heated it. If you heated it quickly, it might char a bit (using oxygen trapped within the paper interstices) but I would expect that in most cases it (...) (24 years ago, 27-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) I'm a little confused about the caching issue. Are we talking about DNS caching, or some sort of in-between proxy cache? Or is it the browser cache? Initially I thought that we were talking about DNS lookups taking the most time... If the (...) (24 years ago, 26-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: Figure This One Out... Kinda Neat

Historically, the reason it uses Times Roman (or else the browser's default) rather than Courier (or whatever <PRE> results in) is because the default fixed-width font in both NN & MSIE on low-end 640x480 displays (common (...)
