In theory, HTTP's caching scheme allows the server to specify no caching at any proxy. Unfortunately, this is HTTP 1.1 and not 1.0 and so it's a crap shoot whether your private email service would offer that. It's going to tend to increase the load on their servers so they probably wouldn't. I was somewhat surprised to find that SNhoTMaiL actually gave you the chance to turn off caching but after I played around with it I found that it didn't really work well.
Not true.. what's going on is that there's alrady someone else reading the mailbox that you're going after. Likely, if the owner has logged in this AM, you won't be able to read his/her messages but otherwise it's still open season. This is fscking ridiculous.
There's not much competition per se between Linux and *BSD.. they're both great OSes. BSD is incredibly powerful and stable but it's got a learning curve that's steep enough to require a safety line and supplmental oxygen. Linux, believe it or not, is a more "friendly" UNIX-like OS. Not to say that the BSD guys wouldn't like to be the darling of the world's attention as we dig ourselves out of the soft-inspired rut we're in now but they seem content with the fact that they're not. Their user base is growing (partially, at least) as a residual effect of the popularity of Linux. I know that when I was going to get into UN*X like systems, I saw how cool Linux was that encouraged me to try BSD on some REALLY old hardware I had laying about. Found myself one hell of a small server and can only imagine how my NetBSD install would run on a processor/logic board that was minted after 1993!
Maybe he just misspoke, but in this column, Ol' Jesse claimed that Linux makes a good file or print server but NT was a "general workhorse". Um, Jesse, "news.com"-flash.. it's the other way around. As long as you keep NT from working too hard (print server), it'll perform like a dream ( a bad dream, yes, but it's easy to maintain, I guess). For a real general-purpose workhorse, it's Linux or any other free UNIX that you need to be installing. I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but that was one of *the* dumbest things I've ever seen written, even by Berst.
Yeah but he tried requests conforming to HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/0.9 standards, too. According to the latest RFCs, and all RFCs on HTTP, when possible, you should always be backwards-compatible.
Hey! The server software most certainly IS open source. In fact, it's released under GPL! The other guys may be fast and small but the ease of configurability of my Newton server plus the fact that it generates all the HTML it serves on the fly and runs Newtonscript CGIs and supports a special HTTP-based intant messenger client make it a contender for the world's smallest COOL server.
Yeah, but NASA is a member agency, of the government.. a separate, subordinate arm.
It's not supposed to care about feeding the poor or ending the need for welfare.. it's the arm of the government that cares about space exploration and development. NASA competes with other programs for money.. it isn't empowered to take money away from social services and such. You're going on like NASA has a voting seat in Congress and actively tries to take food out of babies' mouths when in fact, its bugdet is just as much in jeopardy in any given year as any other program (and often much more so).
The idea here is that NASA is subservient to higher powers in the government and this goverment's main job is coordinate execution of plans to reach as many goals as possible given a specific amount of revenue.
Whatever you do.. never, ever, ever, ever watch the movie. It sucks beyond all scope of imagination.

You know, now that you mention it, I wonder if -soft didn't reverse engineer using the same document I am using these days to reverse engineer AIM.. I found mine on a Hotline server. Wouldn't it be ironic;-)
You're sure it's still the same company? It looks a whole lot more like NeXT these days than it does Apple. If you were to rant on and on about how IBM used to be, people would flame you. Why? Because companies can and do change. It's called survivial of the fittest. It looks to me like they have changed, at least enough to avoid going down in flames...
Linus Torvalds looks like a dork. I'd figured he was at least some skanky, pierced cyberpunk type based on all the hype he's generated but he looks like a home economics teacher. I guess that invalidates his life's work, too...
You have any idea how much work it is to detect a both a human face AND a toy face? You're missing the point.. maybe this wasn't hard. Maybe the author whipped this thing up in a couple months.. in that case, it's completely and utterly amazing that it acts the way that it does.
You're dissing BEAM? You're a dork. Just because it doesn't have a series of 6 parallel Alphas linked by a superconducting 10GHz system bus and run a mini-OS containing 16.5 billion instructions doesn't mean that the system isn't elegant and functional. Marks' stuff is nothing short of incredible.
Tilden's assertions about the number of computing units needed to locomote and adapt to the environment seem right on the mark. Have you ever seen or, better yet, built one of these things? It's awesome. I spent 3 years as a hobbyist trying to get half of the robustness that a Tilden design displays.. My BEAM droid wandered my house unattended for two weeks, charging itself when needed and avoiding death by any number of means.. I even lost it for a couple hours once. It had made its way under my bed.
Jeezuz, you break off one their legs and they can keep on walking with a modified gait! Add in some simple (or not so simple) sensory response to the core neural cascade and you have a VERY insect like system.. far more "intelligent" than even a Linux machine.
Brooks and Tilden are probably both right.. if it was a question of programming or processing power, we should HAVE at least a marginally intelligent robot by now but it's NOT. Intelligence is shaping up to be the result of layers upon layers of communication, potentiation, and redundacy rather than a single processing unit committed to finding the "best" solution to any given problem. Brooks is going after intelligence and Tilden is going after animal behavior. Someday their love child is going to be reading this thread in the late 90's web archives and laugh its ass off.
You have to know this.. get a disk block out of whack on your super-fast UNIX box and what happens? At least.. error and at worst.. crash. The box will ask you what to do. It's dumb. It's a glorified scientific calculator. And so is mine. But Otis (my dearly departed BEAM droid) was "smart".
Primitive? It's based on a parallel array of signal processors. The PentiumPro is probably little more than a glorified serial chip in this setup and as for ISA... a lot of scientific HW is still are designed around it. Guess they coulda put a PIII in Mr Furby here but then again, maybe they wanted to be able to run their robot on less than 50 W of power... Antiquated.. hah.
Woz is a freakin' god.. you go to his site and read all his stuff and he's just so Zen. And so modest even though he's quite matter of fact about the fact that he pretty much did the Apple I all by his lonesome. Geez, if all super-geeks were like him we wouldn't be in the nasty pickle, computing wise, we're in now (monopoly on the desktop, good ideas stomped into the dirt in the name of standardization, etc)
Totally agree.. do we actually *want* Netscape to "win"? Hell no. Look where they were headed with that bloated Communicator suite..
As far as only having 25% installed base.. bullhockey. Maybe in business since IE is installed by default, but among home users I see maybe 1 in 10 Windroids using Explorer. I was going to use it on my Mac until I tried using it to buy something and it crashed halfway through a secure transaction, most conveniently after my credit card # had been entered.. now that's a nail biter. Anyway..
Winusers often adamantly prefer Netscape, and with good reason.. it's one small way that they're NOT getting screwed every minute they are in front of their monitor. At least IMHO...
There's no way 75% of the internet community is just running out and denovo installing Explorer. No frikkin' way...
I always turn off automatic loading of ad banner images before I visit an annoying page that I want to read anyway. That way you can read the crap anyway and they have to pay the slashdot toll without deriving any revenue from my visit.
My Newts can handle about 1 hit per second.. not too shabby for AA-powered hardware but not Apache running at 500Mhz either;-)
If you check the List of Newtons currently online ina couple days, I am sure you'll catch some active. The deal is that when their servers go online, they have the option of automagically registering with a "Tracker" running on my WWW server.
Folks looking for Newtons online can visit the Tracker and find Newton URLs. This side-steps the problem of the dynamic IP address for a WWW server... (Unfortunately, there don't seem to be many on this weekend.)
Thanx for the mention.. I'm the "Matthew Vaughn" that wrote NPDS and I guess I have hit it big-time since I got mentioned on/. !!!
There are a couple guys who use my system to carry wireless web servers in the LA area and one guy who works for NSF is taking his server to the South Pole this spring...
Oh, you had to bring up the DS9 PADDs didn't you? It breaks my heart to watch those things every week.. do you ever see blue screens on them? Or the back covers off? And they have on-board video.. and subspace (?) Internet..

Just thought I'd interject that...
This would be immenseley fun. Of course, any work done to this effect would be released as open source under the GPL ;-)
Your ass is obviously so tight that if one were to shove a lump of coal into it, inside of 2 weeks, he'd have a diamond.
How's that for perfect English?
Mooof!
