  Re: Chuckle
 
(...) That's quite the meme there... (URL) first 50 links all appear to be just about word for word repeats of this story if you just go by the result excerpts the page results show (maybe more but that was about as deep as I was willing to go!)

Subject: New discovery....heaviest element known to science! A major research institution has recently announced the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science.

  Content-negotiation problems? (Was: "Square Ghost Cafe")
 
(...) But both Safari and IE having the same error in the content-negotiation? I suspect that the problem may be that Apache and/or Safari and IE aren't designed correctly for handling content-negotiation of textual documents with the character (...)

  Re: "Square Ghost Cafe"
 
(...) I'm guessing that maybe IE isn't doing content-negotiation correctly? Anyone with IE and a sniffer handy that can tell us what the headers look like on the request? (19 years ago, 14-Sep-05, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: "Square Ghost Cafe"
 
(...) It's not just Safari. When trying either of the above links on IE running on WinXP, you get the option to save the file or cancel. You don't even get the choice to open. This works to get you to what I assume is the same place: (URL) Hafner (...) (19 years ago, 14-Sep-05, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: Technical help, Please.
 
You mention Bell - so that means Sympatico. Are you using their Access Manager software, or the thing built into XP (if you are using XP) for rPPPoE? In either case, a better solution is to but a cheap router like this one here (URL) is available (...) (19 years ago, 12-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Thanks Dave, I will try new drivers and see if that makes a difference, if not, maybe a new card is just what I need. Thanks for the advice. (19 years ago, 12-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Technical help, Please.
 
Hi guys, I am hoping someone can help me with an technical conflict I am experiencing between my XP/highspeed service. (Yes I have read their webpage, the faq, the help section, and called technical "support".) Okay, so here is the problem, often (...)

  Re: Recommendations for Media PC OS?
 
(...) Does anyone have any experience with MoviX ((URL) ((URL) Womp ((URL) sounds like these should run without a hard drive?...that would be pretty convenient. --Bram (19 years ago, 12-Sep-05, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Recommendations for Media PC OS?

  Recommendations for Media PC OS?
 
It appears that we may be building a media computer for our house soon... Basically, it will play movies (off CDs/DVDs/network) and music. Probably doesn't need to do anything else since the video card is too slow for 3D rendering. What OS/software (...) (19 years ago, 11-Sep-05, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

I'm late to the party, but what a freakishly awesome show! Just finished watching the DVD. And they canceled it?!? I guess there was some crappy reality show that was more important. So, what's this about a movie? :) (19 years ago, 10-Sep-05, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)  
 
  Re: Chirality

You just aren't thinking about the terminology when you do so. :) (...) (19 years ago, 9-Sep-05, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
