  Re: IRON MECHA Results!
 
(...) Another interesting study of Sci-Fi vs. Fantasy can be found in Henry Gee's (URL) Science of Middle Earth>. His point is that science fiction has at least some focus on the technology that makes the 'impossible' possible. Fantasy, he suggests (...) (19 years ago, 9-Feb-06, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)

(...) (URL) for 1 year for domain names. I just got one several days ago. If you buy with them they give you a 50% discount on their web hosting as well. -AHui (19 years ago, 4-Feb-06, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Domain registration?
 
(...) Oh one other thing - make sure whoever you register with sends out reminders when your domains are up for renewal, otherwise you'll lose em quicker than you can say "Why do I have porn on my website?" ROSCO (19 years ago, 31-Jan-06, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Domain registration?
 
(...) Yahoo! has donains for $2.99 apiece. A quote from a Y! email: How long will you wait to get that domain for your business, hobby, family, or anything else that interests you? For only $2.99 per year, you'll get your domain name plus: 24x7 (...) (19 years ago, 31-Jan-06, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)
 
  Re: Domain registration?
 
(...) whatever you're planning on registering make sure you also register the other ones as well. what i mean is register .com .net and .org. when NILTC registered there site we forgot to register .com because we were using .org. because of this (...)

(...) I thought he'd only register domains if you host them with Northstar? ROSCO (19 years ago, 30-Jan-06, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)
 
  Re: Domain registration?
 
(...) I use Planet Domain (URL) mainly because they accept AU$ but they also have competitive prices. I haven't had a problem with them. You can see the prices vary quite a bit for different TLDs. They are currently having a sale on .info domains (...) (19 years ago, 30-Jan-06, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Cheapest is $7.95/year through Godaddy.com AFAIK. (...) I would recommend (URL) Northstar Computer Systems>. It is owned by Eric Smith, an AFOL and member of IndyLUG (he hosts Bricklink IIRC) He will register anything for you for $15/year and (...) (19 years ago, 30-Jan-06, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)
 
  Re: Domain registration?
 
(...) The cost depends to some extent on which TLD you're registering in (.com, .net, .org, etc.). My domain is registered with DynDNS (www.dyndns.com). Their prices are pretty typical. They charge from $15/year to $52/year for a domain name. .net, (...) (19 years ago, 30-Jan-06, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Multilingual webserver
 
(...) Right - the subrequests aren't visible to the user, so they would never see the /real-files - only the URI in their local language. I guess the first check the mapper would have to do is compare the URI with the desired language, and if they (...) (19 years ago, 9-Jan-06, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Multilingual webserver
 
(...) But my point is that people should _see_ a URL in the same language as the page. Hiding it inside Apache would be no fun. Play well, Jacob (19 years ago, 9-Jan-06, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Multilingual webserver
 
(...) Well, first of all no one would ever see /real-files in any url or location bar, so they wouldn't know to link to it. And anyway it is easy to set up access such that direct requests to that URI would be denied - accept only 'subrequests', as (...) (19 years ago, 9-Jan-06, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Multilingual webserver
 
(...) But what would I then do if somebody made links to /real-files? (...) But Apache is still written in C. I have already written my own special-purpose web-servers a few times, so it is not something I haven't tried before. And I trust my own (...) (19 years ago, 9-Jan-06, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Multilingual webserver
 
(...) Yes, you use an external script for the mapping... But it is a fairly simple perl script. And the infinite loops are avoided by having the actual URLs be off a separate tree - /lego/dat/model.dat could be rewritten as (...) (19 years ago, 7-Jan-06, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Multilingual webserver
 
(...) I think it would at least require an external rewriting program just to handle the mapping of the accepted and available language to a selected language. And I can't see how you can avoid infinite loops using the Apache rewritemap directive. (...) (19 years ago, 7-Jan-06, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Multilingual webserver (Was: Massive LDraw file repository)
 
(...) Cool idea - not sure I see why you can't use a plain Apache, with a semi-smart redirect-map... It should be fairly straightforward to implement, actually - two MySQL tables (one for dirs/language translation, one for file/language), and a (...)

  Multilingual webserver (Was: Massive LDraw file repository)
 
(...) In case anybody is curious about what I mean by a "multilingual webserver" the basic idea is no only to serve pages in the preferred language of the reader, but also to redirect them to URLs in their preferred language. There is a few more (...) (19 years ago, 4-Jan-06, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
