  Re: Hot Paper?
 
(...) Now we're getting somewhere! But what would happen to the paper once it got that hot? That's what I was trying to get at in the first place... Dave! (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Sure, it'll get hot, but boiling is way different from burning. (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: STUPID QUESTION?
 
(...) I am waiting for the stupid question... In the mean time I will answer this non-stupid question. "+cypress +tree" There you go, add a plus in front of each word. Jude FUT lugnet.faq (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.faq)
 
  STUPID QUESTION?
 
(...) Is there a way to search for a phrase without getting results for each component word? For instance, can I search for "cypress tree" without getting 1000 results for "tree," 200 results for "cypress," and no results for "cypress tree?" I don't (...)

  Re: Hot Paper?
 
(...) Okay, you caught me on my technical imprecision. More precisely, I mean simply an evacuated chamber in which, I suppose, one could position IR lamps over the aforementioned paper sheet. For that matter, even in its approximate vacuum, the (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  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 (...)

  Re: Hot Paper?
 
(...) 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)
 
  Hot Paper?
 
Thanks to Ray Bradbury, we all know the combustion point of (at least some kinds of) paper. What would happen if you had a sheet of paper in a vacuum and heated it to 500 degrees F? Dave! (24 years ago, 27-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
