OK, so it doesnt understand scsi, but you can configure the RLL hdd, and floppy drive. It also has a debugger in ROM, so you can do debuggy things. Seeing as SCSI cards extend the bios, quite nicely in some cases, it must be possible to make an ISA/PCI card with an extended bios.
If you've got a flash bios you may know that they're modular. Trouble is, if you flash it incorrectly and it breaks, the backup bios generally can't handle PCI vid cards, so you'll have to get an old ISA video card to reflash.

Station: Microgravity/Freefall. This is useful, makes interesting things such as growing crystals and studying the possible effects of a prolonged space voyage possible.
Moonbase: Gravity. Its easier to work with some gravity. Raw Materials. Hopefully there'll be sufficent amounts of raw material to make building craft on the moon viable. This could reduce launch costs greatly.
The trouble is, I dont think that the shuttle is capable of landing on the moon. In AC Clark's stories he mentioned shuttle-type rockets to get into orbit, then simple, non-atmosphereic shielded ships to go from an orbital station to the moon.
I remember lusting after NeXT boxes when I was like 12 after we got our 1st 386, they looked so sweet, and the UI was so *smart*. Consistancy is something that almost everyone agrees is a problem with X, but plans to make is nice always seem to fall over. CDE is/was hell (imo), gnome and kde are diverging and converging at the same time, and I'm getting confused. SAVE ME GNUSTEP:)
I think they're all written in 'z-code' or something. There are definitely players for the games, as a friend brought a CD full of infocom games and I managed to get em running.
View|Sidebar toggles the sidebar, however, it uses a checkmark which you seem to be having troubles with. Its fine in Linux, I'll check out M13/Win32 the next time I reboot.
OK, but you use different headers. Veering back on track, how about something like this:
for each post { print "HTTP/1.0 200\n" print "Content-type: multipart/x-mixed-replace;boundary=BOUNDARY\n\n" print "--BOUNDARY\nContent-type: text/html\n\n" print "<HTML><BODY>" print comment print "</body></html>" }
Of course, if you used xml, some smarter (mozilla) browsers may well be able to reflow it and organise it as you see fit. HTML *must* still be supported tho
Rapid prototyping is the problem. Its OK for something you're only gonna use for a few weeks, but for any longer you're loosing more time due to process overhead from your 'easy to write in' language than you'd have lost in doing it properly in the first place.
As for NPH's, its part of the http-protocol (stands for non-parsed header). It keeps the connection alive and allows rewriting of the page as you go along. If you were in flat mode, you could get comments added on the bottom of each thread while you were reading it. Trying to do that in threaded mode would be *HARD* and would require playing with DOM, which is currently unstandardised and a PITA.
I liked it where when they were investigating file sharing performance, and wondered if the write flag was being honoured, they could just grabbed the source to samba and checked. Why they didnt give RH points for that, I dont know.
If you dont fight this sensibly how long is it before international providers are required to delink countries because they dont follow these stupid american laws?

And copper acts as a waveguide for EM waves. Thats why he said 'light' as it doesnt necessarily mean visable light.

IMO we need both.

But then, she did used to bootstrap digico's by entering the boot code in octal on the front panel.
Whereas another helpful mozilla comment I posted was moderated down as off topic.
I dont think moderation does anything, theres a rand() call somewhere.

ok, for incoming posts strip any moderation line, and have:
X-Slashdot-User:
X-Slashdot-Pass:
X-Slashdot-Moderate: [message id] [moderation]
Of course its a kludge. You think it isnt already!?
I dont know where it came from, only found out what it was after opening it up.
how about a header:
...
X-Slashdot-Moderation: -1 (troll)
maybe also
X-Slashdot-Parent:
X-Slashdot-Children:
I have seen a solonoid controlled variable resistor. talk about weird :)
Of course its feasable, I'd not be trying it otherwise :)
I looked at the code page but I want to do it my own way, from scratch.
NNTP comment retrieval, followed by NNTP comment posting...

I think java in general is top heavy.

If anything, they should use C. Java is pointless overhead on a server.
I think that a java client is wrong too. How about nph's and/or a nntp-based protocol, with added headers for moderation/threading
Thats just what they want you to think.

for any inaccuracy. I was drunk.
This is BT we're talking about. I'd guess the price will be of the order of 5pence a minute+connection.
