  1. Re:Just make them cheap enough? by Mithrandir · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Road Marker Marks You

    Oh, so you mean like the average aussie road then. Nothing unusual about that.... In fact, 1.5 lanes is rather generous. Most roads here outside of the main cities tend to be around 1 lane wide with half lane of dirt either side of it. Somewhat like this:

    The Alpine Way 1 and The Alpine Way 2 in the Snowy Mountains area or somewhere near Mt Isa

  4. Re:Wasn't this what URI's were supposed to address by Mithrandir · · Score: 1 · on Robust Hyperlinks: The End of 404s?
    Already done. Most of the URN work is already hammered out, and a few of the older RFC's need to be updated a bit.

    From what I'm reading here, the form of those URLS this guy is generating is actually illegal syntax. That is, with the '?' character, that is intended as a query and any proper web server would attempt to run a CGI type script with it.

    If you want to know more about URNs, and my implementation of them in Java (replaces most of java.net) go to http://www.vlc.com.au/~justin/java/urn/

    If you want it, I've got a whole swag of library code to handle it. It works as content handlers in Java so pointing a URL at it, you will get a BufferedImage back (or Image if you need 1.1 spt). The only difference here is that you can't use it with Toolkit.getImage() | createImage()

    http://www.vlc.com.au/~justin/java/image s/
    ftp://ftp.vlc.com.au/pub/imageloader_0 .9.zip

    Basically, the list of supported formats are:

    • TIFF
    • JPEG
    • BMP
    • XPM/XBM
    • PNG (1.0, not 1.1 yet)
    • GIF (but wrapper around standard java impl)
    • TGA
    All the code is LGPL'd except where the back end libraries have different licenses as provided by their authors.

    The code has been tested under Solaris, HP-UX and Win32 (precompile bins for Win32 only).
