  1. Re:Thank you, but how long? on New Tadpole SPARCbook RSN · · Score: 1

    To ask a question and suggest possible answers? no.
    To ask a question in a fasecious(sp?) tone and provide yourself with obviously pointed answers that insinuated you had no interest in anyone else answering your question because you already have all the answers...

    you tell me.

    Problem is then that you _haven't_ accepted the agreement and then aren't legally using the software in that case.

    If I'm not mistaken, this is very similar to how Thomas Edison worked. He took cat naps regularly pretty much wherever he happened to be. (There are many pictures of him snoozing on desks, tables etc).
    From what I know, this is how he always functioned.

    you're right, that was rude.
    The point remains though, there is a proper solution to your problem. Been there, seen it, done that.
    You need to set all of these:
    Host Header Expiry.
    Response Expiry.
    Response No-Cache
    Meta expiry
    Meta No-Cache
    And if that still doesn't work, there is an MSProxy specific meta-tag for no-cache. (Can't remember at the moment exactly what it is, but should be very easy to find)

    booohooo, i feel SO sorry for those that are refused. Booohoooo.

    I gave up on IRC years ago, because of crap like this. This is a perfect example of the attitude/mindset of the average IRC user, elitist assholes whom were never helpful enough to be worth the trouble.

    There are tonnes of alternatives out there, use them and be happy.

    Nevermind him. You're right and everyone knows it except for the elitist channel ops.
    Here's the silver lining though, these assholes are doing a very good job of segragating themselves from the rest of us...let them, good riddance to ignorance.

  9. Re:Too Bad... on Star Wars Producer Says Box Office is Doomed · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yes, this is true.
    Usually the distributors dictate what it will cost for a theatre to show a movie, and there are a number of ways of doing so.
    Theatres can't buy the rights to show movie X as many times as they like, it costs them for EACH showing. Sometimes the actual cost is a set amount per screen, sometimes it's a set amount per seat capacity, sometimes it's a percentage of the ticket sales + a fee.

    If I'm not mistaken, the last SW cost theatres something like half the take plus $1000 per showing or something ludicrous like that.

  10. Re:Yaaahh! on Star Wars Producer Says Box Office is Doomed · · Score: 1

    Except then they'd be complaining that they don't make any money off of rentals. Almost ALL movies break even these days off of rentals, not off the initial box office take.
    This is just a have your cake and eat it too type of situation. There's tonnes of our money already floating around the studios, they just want MORE if not ALL of our money, and anything short of that is 'barely surviving'.

    If you notice, the article is actually implying that George Lucas may very well go broke making SW3...What freaking ever...their real bitch is that they're not 'as rich as Billy G.' and thus must be poor ehh?

  14. You want client/server? on Web Application UI Guidelines? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Then write a client and server. Web browsers are NOT good substitutes for a client, there is no proper state or environment to do any proper work in on the client, and seeing as you have already specified that you need higher level client/server functionality, well then you answered your own question.

    I am so sick of seeing browsers forced to do things they just don't, can't and shouldn't do. It's NOT the catch all wonder solution. Christ, writing a freaking VB client is at least as much a joke as writing a web page.

    Do the write thing, don't follow the lemmings.

    That's just great until the gov. gets into a budjet crunch and you get downsized, just like in the private sector.

    Sure, back in the rich days of the '80's public service jobs were rock solid, but those days are falling behind now and gov. jobs are hardly guaranteed to be secure. The only partially secure public sector jobs are those which are unionized, and these just give you the same protection as any other union in the private sector.
