  Re: Yet Another torso sticker question
 
(...) Actually, I have a Lexmark Z3, and while this may not be a BONAFIDE dot matirx, the inkjet process is still close enough to dot matrix to suck just as much! Lol -Catch You Cats Later! -The Rascal King (23 years ago, 26-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Yet Another torso sticker question
 
(...) I don't think so. Only the ones with the little moving pins which hit the paper are called "dot matrix", even if the other ones do end up putting a matrix dots on the page. See: (2 URLs) (The "dot-matrix" doesn't refer to the image, but rather (...) (23 years ago, 25-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: IR Tower Use
 
(...) Not really -- the tower uses its own proprietary communcations format. It's similar enough to that used by remote controls that learning remotes can pick up the signals, but I haven't heard of anyone going the other way around.

  IR Tower Use
 
I know this may be a bit off topic, but didn't know where else to post, I own an IR tower and remote control, and was wondering if it is possible to use the IR tower for other things. eg using PC + tower to control stereo/TV, or using IR remote to (...)

  Re: Yet Another torso sticker question
 
Ooh! Ouch! The memories! I had a daisy-wheel printer for my (get this) Radio Shack/Tandy TRS-80 computers when I was a little kid (models I - V, Model 1000, CoCo)! I have to admit that that printer was probably what got me into design in the forst (...) (23 years ago, 24-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Yet Another torso sticker question
 
(...) He probably did. I don't know that there are very many printers at all today which aren't dot matrix printers. My HP 660Cse certainly is. My TI Microlaser certainly was. Of course not very many people today use printers which put the dots on (...) (23 years ago, 24-May-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: Windows opening graphic?
 
(...) 320x400, I think. But not at a 4:3 ratio -- the pixels are very rectangular. (23 years ago, 22-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Windows opening graphic?
 
(...) IIRC, and I havn't played with it in years... look for logo.sys in your c:\ directory... I think it's a 320x240 bitmap.... :) Dan (23 years ago, 22-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Windows opening graphic?
 
Recently I downloaded and installed a Simpsons desktop theme, and in the process I changed the opening image on my PC from the Windows default logo to a frankly rather lame Simpsons graphic. Subsequently it has resisted my casual attempts to undo it (...) (23 years ago, 22-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Why halftracks?
 
(...) This part wouldn't surprise me-- a full-track tank tends to tear up asphalt when it turns with its huge tracks running the full length of the vehicle and running them at different rates. A half-track would get you some of the benefits of (...) (23 years ago, 21-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: LEGO Inspired Fonts For Macintosh And Windows
 
(...) I think any website that screws with my browser(resizing, forced pop-ups, etc.) must be destroyed. I "X"ed my window by accident trying to reset my window to full screen.

To begin with, let me say a public apology to Larry for my last post. It was uncalled for in a public forum, and a private apology has been sent. Now, I have seen some excellent and not so excellent points here, but what James writes strikes me as (...) (23 years ago, 19-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Yes, which is why it's so easy for me to leave and not come back once I realize a site is monkeying with my browser settings. I went and looked at your site. Wonderful fonts! Those are just toooo coool. I think they'd be great to make graphics (...) (23 years ago, 18-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: LEGO Inspired Fonts For Macintosh And Windows
 
(...) Personally, I made a conscious decision to check out your site out of interest and support for a fellow AFOL. Its a trust relationship between developer and user.

  Re: LEGO Inspired Fonts For Macintosh And Windows

  Re: LEGO Inspired Fonts For Macintosh And Windows
 
(...) Should, or shouldn't dictate? My view is that you can suggest, but should design for the ability to fit into the window the user is using (within reason, 200x300 may be a bit confining) and for resizability (23 years ago, 18-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.publish.html)
