  Need info on "#include" tag in HTML
 
Help! I need info on the "#include" tag (supposedly used to incorporate a separately stored "fragment" of common or repeated HTML code into multiple files). What I (vaguely) remember is: <!-- #include "my_fragment.h" --> Thanks in advance. Franklin (25 years ago, 9-Nov-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Anyone used AutoPlay Menu Studio ?
 
Well, I'm working on a little project for a local ISP and I need a good, professional-looking autorun menu-type thing. I'm no coder, so I can't just whip up my own (actually, I did whip up my own with the help of a friend on Friday in VB, but it's (...) (25 years ago, 7-Nov-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: web design (was Re: Scout secrets revealed)
 
(...) Good point. It all depends on how often the nav bar stuff is going to be used. I can imagine some sites/types of content where you're going to want to always have the navigation stuff handy. For others, it's in the way most of the time. One (...) (25 years ago, 4-Nov-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

Any long message on LUGNET serves as a good example. Visit: (URL) is a set inventory). See (...) (25 years ago, 3-Nov-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: Engine Speed Regulation
 
Well, James corrected me and he's right(1). The Throttle is a restrictor (if you look up throttle, one meaning is to cut off airflow) in the steamline. Restricting the flow reduces the pressure in the steam chest. However most valve gear (cf. (...) (25 years ago, 2-Nov-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.trains)

Thanks for the explanation! (Wow, so it is really possible to explain how the steam engine works without using a single picture!) (...)

  Re: Engine Speed Regulation
 
An otto and a diesel are different things. An otto is not reversible without a lot of thought about how to get the spark timing right. (25 years ago, 29-Oct-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Engine Speed Regulation
 
Great detailed explanations! If I simplify things, the throttle on a steam engine controls Torque. To set a certain speed with a certain load, a certain torque is needed. The speed regulator (governor) is a device that controls the applied torque so (...) (25 years ago, 29-Oct-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Engine Speed Regulation
 
(...) Sorry Larry, not true. The throttle controls the pressure in the steam chest (Ideally), which controls the speed. (in fact, it does regulate pressure, but also regulates volume) What you are suggesting is done on some engines (corliss mill (...)

  Re: Engine Speed Regulation
 
(...) Working from memory and I could be wrong. But I doubt it. Review. Reciprocating steam engines function by admitting pressurised steam into a chamber (the cylinder) where it expands, doing work against the walls. One of the walls (the piston (...)
