When people (with leap birthdates) apply for applications, have birthday parties, horscopes, etc.? How does that all work with Leap Birthdays? How does one deal with this unique day? I'm just curious.
Yep, Internet and BBS' helped a lot for these people =). Now, if I could just get the same services as TDD but over the Internet like DialPad.:I

Since I have articulation problems due to my physical disabilitites, it is hard to socialize in person. However, the chat BBS' and the boom of the Internet has changed my life. I am able to socialize and interact a lot more with people. What pisses me off is that people think I am an Internet addict. I use the Internet more than fun. I use it for work, socialize, news, etc.
This article is irrelevant to my situation. Anyone feel the same way?
I heard it was wrong for the media to say hackers in this DoS incident. Is this true? One of my friends said it was supposed to be crackers, not hackers. Other friends say hackers.
I am so confused! Any opinions? Thanks!:)

Yeah, I e-mailed the Webmaster too, and he didn't how to fix it. Dork! It's in JavaScript!
Yeah, I have seen Netscape Communicator v4.7 suck up 300 MB of my damn swap file on Win98, P2-300, and 128 MB RAM. I will get the beta as well as long as it is stable and can replace 4.x.
Are there any emulators that can emulate a phone browser? Here's a WebTV emulator: http://developer.webtv.net/design/tools/viewer/Def ault.htm if you are wanting to test sites with it.
billh, get a UNIX account that is on a fast connection and fast server. Then, do your newsgroup reader when you telnet/ssh to there. That's what I am doing.
Exactly! When I am at home with a 26400 modem connection (56K modem with crappy phone lines -- no DSL and cable modem service in my home area, and can't afford T1s!), I usually surf the Web without images 95% of my session. I can live without the graphics. If I need them, I will hit the image buttons to load them! For other stuff, like reading newsgroups, I use tin (text-based). I don't need GUI =).
What bugs me the most is that Netscape Communicator has a nasty bug where it will leak memory due to poor rendering with a lot of tables. Usually, this doesn't happen if I auto-load graphics. Anyone noticed this? I noticed this on a few computers I use.
I know my workplace's Web site (I am a QA analyst) is not accessible and pretty under LYNX. That means it is not accessible to blind people or simple Web browsers.
What sucks is that I tried to tell the management about this issue (I even sent this/. and CNET links to them). They just don't care! I would like to know what's the percentage of commercial real estate people who are blind and use the Internet? Are there sources to find this type of information? I'd like to know what type of job roles that disabled people have when using the Internet. Maybe this information would convince the management to think about this issue.
I also have physical disabilities and partially deaf. It can be frustrating not being to access Web sites. I can feel their pain.
I even tried to do my best to make my personal Web site (The Ant Farm) friendly to LYNX. It is NOT easy!
Remember a few years ago that there was a Budweiser commercial with ants carrying a bottle to their ant hill? Anyone got a video file copy of it? I used to have a copy of that, and I regret deleting it:(.
How about the horse football one? Anyone got that too?

So cool. Nice idea too. It makes me want to make mine randomize with different themes [grin].
Sheesh, I probably will get a 1Ghz in a year. :) What about you guys?
How's the heat situation on this 1 GHZ? Do we need a friggin air condition unit for it? :)
Dudes, keep the name. It seems like every words and names can be used in a dirty way. Like baskets, balls, banana, etc.
Okay, so Tux cheated us loyal freaks. Maybe time for a new mascot? [grin] j/k.
