  Re: SETI@Home?
 
(...) Yeah, I hear you. I'm not too worried, tho. I have ghost images of all my important PC's. (...) Oh, I don't have that many at home. I have that many at work. I only have 4 at home.

  Re: Random text on a website
 
(...) What about using SSI[1] or something like that to include a file with the quote, and then update the file one an hour with a cron job? You could also let the cron job put together the actual page people download if you don't want to use SSI. (...) (25 years ago, 17-May-99, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Random text on a website
 
I have a file of quotes (an HTML Table) that I want to use on one of my webpages. However, I want only one quote to display randomly when a page is accessed. Anyone have a Java or other applet for this they could share? (25 years ago, 17-May-99, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Quick physics question
 
(...) Eventually you will get a plasma, composed of neucleii and some electrons. At that point it's not really relevant to talk about compounds, what you have is basically soup. From memory you can't dissociate most simple molecules before they (...) (25 years ago, 16-May-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  SETI@Home?

  Quick physics question
 
Hey all, Just a quick question, or series of questions, but it'll keep me up all night if I don't find the answer. :-, If you take a sealed container with nothing but pure water, and you heated it enough -- assuming the container withstands the heat (...)

  Re: awk vs. perl for simple tasks
 
(...) Awww, it's not _that_ much longer in perl: perl -alne 'print $F[3]' although it certainly doesn't roll off the tongue quite as nicely. (...) Can't columns be grabbed easily in Scheme/Lisp? --Todd (25 years ago, 15-May-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: awk vs. perl for simple tasks
 
(...) That's in reference to the awk idiom: awk '{ print $4 }' which is much longer to do in perl. I personally use this as a shell command inside Emacs all the time. I'm not good at perl one-liners. -Tim (25 years ago, 15-May-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
