(...) Would it be possible to do this in straight HTML, using the refresh meta-tag to forward through several pages? Steve (25 years ago, 22-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Looking for a simple Time Program
 
(...) I'll let you borrow my microwave oven. It can be programmed in a timer mode, with several steps in the program. But you have to have it back before dinnertime! Steve (25 years ago, 22-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Perl rules!
 
(...) OK, relative-addressing mode is good. But it doesn't require segmented memory. All it requires is an instruction format with a defined result. For example, the conditional-jump instructions on the 6502 microprocessor[1] only used relative (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Forging an NNTP header Message-ID
 
(...) There are many different types of algorithms, I believe, but the main point is that the Message-ID header needs to be unique. The domain part of the Message-ID makes sure that anybody on a different domain gets a different ID. The local part (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: Looking for a simple Time Program
 
(...) Ahh, simple: Buy two 4-minute repeating wind-up timers. Start one, wait 60 seconds, then start the other. There you have it. :-) --Todd (25 years ago, 22-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Looking for a simple Time Program
 
(...) This should be very easy to implement (1). I could whip one up in Java for ya, so you can run it anywhere you have a browser and a connection to the Net. Cheers, - jsproat 1. Assuming you don't want any features put in. I am a card-carrying (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Looking for a simple Time Program
 
I'm looking for a simple timer program. What I want is a simple timer that will time rounds (as in boxing) to use when I work out at home. It simply needs to ring the "bell" at the beginning and end of rounds: 3 minutes - bell, 1 minute - bell, (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Perl rules!
 
(...) Relative pointers in the same segment take up half as much space as a 32 bit pointer. Depending on what you're doing, the savings here can be considerable. .COM programs used nothing but relative pointers and fit in less than 1 64K segment. (...)

  Hard Drive Help
 
Lately when I run scandisk on my 6 Gig hard drive it errors out with "One or more drives could not successfully complete." The same happens with scandisk long or short. I am guessing that I have a bad sector on my drive? Can someone make a (...) (25 years ago, 21-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Perl rules!
 
(...) How did the segmented architecture enable the creation of tiny programs? (...) So? This is SVGA, and most video cards seem to not offer 4-bit color modes in resolutions above 800x600. So LDraw will happily work in modes that most video cards (...) (25 years ago, 21-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Perl rules!
 
(...) I do, quite regularly. Windows NT 4.0, Service Pack 5. The last reboot was about two weeks ago when I upgraded from SP3 to SP5; before then, my workstation was up for about three weeks. I have a cow-orker who's had Linux up without a reboot (...) (25 years ago, 21-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Perl rules!
 
(...) Well, I've been running Emacs on a P150 system with 643MB harddisk for three years now. That's smaller than a CD, right? Or were you refering to transporting the Emacs sources on a CD? I've used a set of 1440KB disks to do that. I needed eight (...) (25 years ago, 21-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) CP/M, I think. My TRS 80 model 1 which used an OS (called DOS)(1) which was CP/M derived, had it. 1 - once you started running the floppy. Before that you were just in the ROM BASIC interpreter all the time. I had 2 floppies. 11 hundred bucks (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
