  Re: Looking for a perfect dotcom nerd job?
 
(...) Good Lord man! 365,000 applications in twelve minutes? It's obvious this foosball table company isn't net.savvy (I mean, besides the fact that they admitted it)--if they were, they'd have made it look horridly unattractive. "Company seeks (...)

  Re: Website Help
 
(...) For a lot of search engines, you have to register, unfortunately. Even more unfortunately, some search engines make you *pay* to register. Mmm, graft. eric (24 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  News search function temporarily disabled
 
The system crashed again. Either it's running out of memory and that's causing a downward spiral or it's running out of CPU cycles and starving enough processes to build up and cause a meltdown. Either way some tuning needs to be done. This is going (...) (24 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.announce) ! 
 
  COM ports and perl
 
Does anyone know how to access a COM (let's say COM2) port on a pc using perl? This is for a project to interface a digital balance to a computer for automated data entry.

  Website Help
 
I just got my own website with its own domain name and put up a little bit f stuff on it. When I tried searching for it with yahoo.com, it didn't come up! Even when I used words specific to the site!

  Digital cameras - some MUCH cheaper overseas, even with shipping
 
I've wanted a Casio QV-2800 since they were first announced, due to their 8x OPTICAL zoom and CFII capabilities. They STILL aren't available in the US except from Casio at $700, and CA tax added $58 to that! After shipping, the total was going to be (...) (24 years ago, 8-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Vision Command as webcamera?
 
Hi! Has anyone any info on how to use the Mindstorms Vision Command as an ordinary webcam? I have no experience in this field of computers.

  Re: FS: 6950 (MIB) and 6951 (MISB) !
 
(...) Just a little friendly comment on this (FUT: lugnet.off-topic.geek), the only thing you really can use to distinguish who sent an e-mail first is to use the order in which you received them.

  Re: broadband finally comes to my part of Knoxville
 
(...) The way I did it was definitely less hassle. $179 at Staples - plug it in and 10 seconds to "configure" it.

  Re: "jump.cgi" considered harmful ? (1)

  Re: "jump.cgi" considered harmful ? (1)

I thought that since tracert can't really ask all the routers on the routing to report interroutter times, that what it displays is the time from where the trace is run to that particular router, one router after (...)

  Re: "jump.cgi" considered harmful ? (1)
 
(...) I was under the (incorrect?) assumption that the lugnet server performed the lookup for the new domain as part of the jump.cgi process. If it is, in fact, your machine doing the lookup, then no, Lugnet traces wouldn't be needed, natch. eric (24 years ago, 1-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: "jump.cgi" considered harmful ? (1)
 
(...) why do you need traces from lugnet to wherever? the jump.cgi doesn't get the data for you, it just redirects you to your desination... so the connection speed between lugnet and your target is immaterial. btw, if you want to try another host, (...)

  Re: "jump.cgi" considered harmful ? (1)
