  Re: Smallest cube ever!?
 
(...) Although it would appear my terminology disagreed with my maths ;) So you are right in your reading and I am wrong in my concept but not my principal. So to keep the terminology the same just replace all 5s by 2s and the rest remains the same. (...) (18 years ago, 19-Mar-07, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)

If I understand correctly, the main issue here is to produce a flat square surface with a non-integer number of studs as side, right? Because that is certainly (...)

"Ross Crawford" <ross.{mylastname}@gmail.com> wrote in message news:JDw5Gp.LJ6@lugnet.com... (...) Thanks for the tip - turning on the Askimet plugin seems to have solved the problem. Mike (18 years ago, 26-Feb-07, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Any WordPress gurus out there?
 
(...) Hi Mike, From what I understand, that setting will not affect spambots. I think the only way to reduce the spam comments (especially pingback & trackback) is to activate the Askimet plugin (comes with recent WP) and possibly also install a (...)

  Any WordPress gurus out there?
 
I am running WordPress for the NCLTC and NCLUG web sites and even though I have turned on the setting which requires registration to comment, I still receive a bunch of spam comments. Anyone know how this is happening and what I can do to prevent (...) (18 years ago, 23-Feb-07, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: Smallest cube ever!?
 
(...) hmmm. I have a suspicion that most non-integer cubes are impossible because of the way the surfaces can be constructed. Each side of a surface must be constructed out of I + 1/5 J plate units (I and J integer) since we can only make them out (...)

  Re: New TLC standard for containers?
 
(...) No doubt it's pleasant but it's a shipping container so it should be practical and is this unappealling ;) Tim (18 years ago, 23-Dec-06, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)
 
  Re: New TLC standard for containers?
 
(...) I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote 3:2. I meant that 6:10 is just off the golden ratio of 6:9.7... Though I was confused there, you make the case that the aspect ratio is actually a pleasant one, as opposed to your initial (...) (18 years ago, 23-Dec-06, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)

  Re: Peeron Firefox Extension (beta)
 
(...) There's a version 0.8? I can only find 0.6. BTW, FF 2.0 is out now, and it says the plugin is incompatible - I'm guessing it's just a version number change or something. ROSCO (18 years ago, 21-Dec-06, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

Hi guys, I'm looking at options for setting up a content management system for the Brickvention website (it's currently static HTML). I've tried Geeklog on another site, and it's OK, but doesn't do everything I'd like to do for our site. I was (...) (18 years ago, 3-Nov-06, to lugnet.org.us.sealug, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Peeron Firefox Extension (beta)
 
(...) This should work now. Apparently, JS doesn't reset it's RE engine when the input changes. So it would end up returning 'null' after every successful match. Which means it'd skip every other entry. Updated both the Extension and the GM (...) (18 years ago, 23-Oct-06, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Peeron Firefox Extension (beta)
 
(...) How about looking for numbers in the nnnn_n or nnn_n in links. At least then the set pictures may trigger recognition in the set guides, and the 1900-2100 range would also be picked up. Alternatively, add an option in a menu that will (...) (18 years ago, 19-Oct-06, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: Peeron Firefox Extension (beta)
 
(...) The problem is that it only looks up 4 digit numbers, or numbers in the form of nnnn-n. Oh, and it ignores numbers between 1900-2100. I could easily make it look at 3 digit numbers as well, but you'd end up with that many more false-positives. (...) (18 years ago, 18-Oct-06, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
