[2001-05-21 14:37:00] - Aye, that be the plan. I was thinking it could be done in two evenings in a row -paul

[2001-05-21 14:34:00] - tapes, that is. - mig

[2001-05-21 14:34:00] - if you're doing it in an evening i think the max you could do is maybe 2. - mig

[2001-05-21 14:13:00] - I'm afraid that's not really an option, but I'll figure something out -paul

[2001-05-21 14:10:00] - yeah, probably. if you're gonna do it, do it on the weekend - vinnie

[2001-05-21 14:05:00] - Ok, that works for me. Basically it means that it would be a lot to watch in a single evening, right? -paul

[2001-05-21 14:03:00] - paul: sorry, i had a meeting. let me give you one final estimate: ~5 hours :) - vinnie

[2001-05-21 13:27:00] - paul: i would estimate the first four tapes of trigun will take >5 and <5.5 hours - vinnie

[2001-05-21 13:25:00] - i doubt anyone but aaron and i know alex barrie, he went to our middle school - vinnie

[2001-05-21 13:24:00] - a: did you get my message to change color? - vinnie

[2001-05-21 13:14:00] - s-l-o-w -paul

[2001-05-21 13:04:00] - i do not remember alex barrie.  who is alex barrie?  is aporter.dhs.org slow for everyone, or just me?  ~a

[2001-05-21 12:20:00] - i am at work now :-) so is alex barrie! Anyone remember alex barrie? - aaron

[2001-05-21 11:53:00] - i'm not sure, but i think so. - mig

[2001-05-21 11:52:00] - nope, i get paid per month and not per hour.  :-\  oh, well, i'll live.  i'm gonna go grab some lunch.  bye all.  -  aba

[2001-05-21 11:51:00] - i'm gonna be gone for a few days from work next month, but i'm gonna try to work extra hours so i end up with the same number of hours for that work / pay period -dave

[2001-05-21 11:51:00] - that stinks aparna, i'm sorry =  ( maybe they'll let you pull overtime when you go back or something -dave

[2001-05-21 11:50:00] - so are you saying that vcd is the best quality for size ratio you can get? -dave

[2001-05-21 11:50:00] - i probably won't be able to start again until next monday.  that's a whole weeks worth of money gone.  :'(  -  aba

[2001-05-21 11:49:00] - i can understand a company giving drug tests to all their employees though. it's just something they do so that they don't get sued for lotsa of money when something goes wrong -dave

[2001-05-21 11:49:00] - actually asf is a good alternative if you're not too concerned about quality. - mig

[2001-05-21 11:49:00] - that stinks that they kicked you out of work. they should have known what tests you needed and everything beforehand -dave

[2001-05-21 11:48:00] - generally around 3 or 4 episodes on a vcd. but somehow they fit like 750 - 800 megs per cd -dave

[2001-05-21 11:47:00] - i wish they had told my boss and that she had told me.  mandatory drug tests are so fucking stupid.  i hate them.  i haven't even done anything wrong, and they want to test me.  -  aba

[2001-05-21 11:46:00] - oh that's not good, what happened? - mig

[2001-05-21 11:46:00] - apparently i am insurance liability because i haven't taken and passed their mandatory drug test yet.  >:o  -  aba

[2001-05-21 11:45:00] - how many eps are on a vcd? - mig

[2001-05-21 11:45:00] - i got kicked out of work after a couple of hours of being there today.  :(  -  aba

[2001-05-21 11:45:00] - divx is used to mainly shrink dvds, not really for mpegs, i think vcds, use their own form of compression. - mig

[2001-05-21 11:44:00] - is vcd format almost the most compressed you can get it? -dave

[2001-05-21 11:44:00] - i just know about the formats used for compression, and how well they work, if that's any help. -  mig

[2001-05-21 11:43:00] - because i've tried compressing the vcd's i have into divx, but i always get a file twice as large. -dave

[2001-05-21 11:43:00] - 4 tapes is easily almost 6 hrs. - mig

[2001-05-21 11:42:00] - does anyone know much about video editing and compression? -dave

[2001-05-21 11:42:00] - ep's may be 25 min, i dunno. so figure 1:30 per tape i guess -dave

[2001-05-21 11:41:00] - paul: well, how many episodes were on each? 3? 4? figure 20 mins an episode, you got 1:00 to 1:20 -dave

[2001-05-21 11:33:00] - http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20010521/ts/court_tech_pornography_dc_3.html - mig

[2001-05-21 11:23:00] - i'm writing this from http://www.ucad.sn/ cybercafe (their version of the math emporium) -- very different, for example: they serve us food and drinks while we sit here doing academic work. :-P -jdb

[2001-05-21 11:17:00] - dave: Do you know how long those four tapes are? I mean, how long it would take to watch them all. -paul

[2001-05-21 11:14:00] - travis: still haven't heard back. i can email my boss / program manager again, but i think it's lost in bureaucratic limbo -dave

[2001-05-21 11:14:00] - paul: I think we've seen four tapes and have four tapes left? -dave

[2001-05-21 10:47:00] - paul: tucket@erols.com - travis

[2001-05-21 10:47:00] - travis: also, how many tapes of Trigun have we seen already and how long is each tape? -paul

[2001-05-21 10:43:00] - That will do I think -paul

[2001-05-21 10:41:00] - paul: all i have for an email for tim is something you gave me - travis

[2001-05-21 10:41:00] - i think i'm gonna beat everyone on having to be to work early, i'm supposed to be there at 6 tomorrow - travis

[2001-05-21 10:40:00] - travis: I need Tim's email address if you have it, and I think I am going to be able to get everybody up to speed for AnimeFest -paul

[2001-05-21 10:39:00] - I thought so, I thought he said that occasionally when you toasted a bad guy, I could be wrong though. -paul

[2001-05-21 10:39:00] - hopefully i'll be able to get off for animefest, since they said i won't get weekends off probably since i'm new, but i already talked to one person about getting june 2 off, and i'm supposed to talk to someone else to confirm it - travis

[2001-05-21 10:38:00] - paul: "suck it down" was a duke nukism? don't remember that one - vinnie

[2001-05-21 10:37:00] - well, at least it's better paying :) - vinnie

[2001-05-21 10:36:00] - unload the truck and put food where it's supposed to go, pretty much a better paying (and probably slightly harder) version of what i used to do at BK - travis

[2001-05-21 10:32:00] - what do you have to do in your job? - vinnie

[2001-05-21 10:31:00] - dave: still wanna hear if anything comes from your company - travis

[2001-05-21 10:31:00] - travis: yeah, just checked it out - vinnie

[2001-05-21 10:31:00] - dave: still wanna hear if anything comes from your company - travis

[2001-05-21 10:31:00] - and to anyone who cares (probably only the people i complained/talked to about it this last week) i got a job at quantico as a store room person (hey, $9 for store room ain't bad) - travis

[2001-05-21 10:30:00] - vinnie: animeondvd says the same thing about FLCL - travis

[2001-05-21 10:30:00] - dave: last i saw, it was gonna be $200 for the cowboy bebop box set - travis

[2001-05-21 10:24:00] - anyone know around how much it'll cost? -dave

[2001-05-21 10:19:00] - ooooh, never mind, I found out how old the report is. it just happened last week. woohoo! cowboy bebop box set! - vinnie

[2001-05-21 10:17:00] - and also says no escaflowne box set is planned :( - vinnie

[2001-05-21 10:17:00] - the report also says FLCL will be two eps/DVD - vinnie

[2001-05-21 10:16:00] - that came from anime news network's anime central 2001industry report. any clue how old it is? - vinnie

[2001-05-21 10:15:00] - travis: "Meanwhile, the Cowboy Bebop Boxed set should be out later this summer. Although extras may be included, Jason was uncertain as to what these may be." - vinnie

[2001-05-21 10:02:00] - The people who made Daikatana (a computer games) once trademarked the phrase "suck it down", which is odd considering it was made famous by Duke Nukem before that (and other before him I am sure). -paul

[2001-05-21 09:44:00] - it's even weirder with popular slang words that may not be real words - vinnie

[2001-05-21 09:42:00] - just of like stuff like Calvin Klein's "Be". not quite sure how it should be handled though - vinnie

[2001-05-21 09:41:00] - the strange thing is dave, i could easily see that as a campaign for a company. just the phrase "cool" :) - vinnie

[2001-05-21 09:41:00] - the strange thing is dave, i could easily see that as a campaign for a company. just the phrase "cool

[2001-05-21 09:40:00] - i agree, maybe it wouldn't. but it's something to think about -dave

[2001-05-21 09:39:00] - like what if vw started an ad campaign calling their cars "cool?" -dave

[2001-05-21 09:38:00] - but then again. when a company starts using a "common" phrase to describe their product. doesn't it sort of take on a different light? -dave

[2001-05-21 09:37:00] - vinnie: yeah i agree that it seems you shouldn't be able to trademark commonly used phrases -dave

[2001-05-21 08:54:00] - and this is actually vinnie speaking :) - vinnie

[2001-05-21 08:54:00] - a: i'll change my color to FF6699 - vinnie

[2001-05-21 08:50:00] - http://www.usatoday.com/life/cyber/tech/review/games/2001-05-18-spears-video-game.htm

[2001-05-21 08:46:00] - Quick question to everybody out there, anyone interested in seeing the first few tapes of Trigun sometime this week? -paul

[2001-05-21 08:42:00] - "drivers only" at least is a phrase they made up, or one that wasn't commonly used - vinnie

[2001-05-21 08:42:00] - dave: it should really be a case by case thing. if something is too common (let's say i try to trademark the phrase "cool"), i doubt we should allow it - vinnie

[2001-05-21 08:40:00] - i'm starting to agree with pierce about the coca-cola business at least. it is a trademark and is not a word, an acronym or a common used phrase (except when pertaining to the drink) - vinnie

[2001-05-21 08:36:00] - as an interesting aside, amd is calling its new processor the athlon 4, in order to take advantage of all the advertising intel as done for the pentium 4 -dave

[2001-05-21 08:35:00] - i don't know anything about acronyms though. offhand i would say you can't copyright / trademark them -dave

[2001-05-21 08:33:00] - volkswagon spends tons of money to imprint that phrase into people's minds and associate it with "cool volkswagon cars" -dave

[2001-05-21 08:32:00] - and it's entirely valid to trademark / copyright words from the english language. just think about commercials and all their catch phrases. Like volkswagon and "drivers only" -dave

[2001-05-21 08:31:00] - because then people might think that the coca-cola company had started making coffee or somesuch -dave

[2001-05-21 08:31:00] - and i don't think you could even make a stale coffee and call it coca-cola -dave

[2001-05-21 08:29:00] - but i don't think that that means you shouldn't have trademarks -dave

[2001-05-21 08:29:00] - but i do think that if you buy a domain name, you shouldn't be forced to sell it. i mean after all, what you buy is the name -dave

[2001-05-21 08:28:00] - i don't get what you have against trademarks miguel... -dave

[2001-05-20 22:44:00] - haha.  liberty and christinianity in the same sentance. - mig

[2001-05-20 22:42:00] - http://www.liberty.edu/

[2001-05-20 19:17:00] - yeah, that's right.  knew i heard the term somewhere else before. - mig

[2001-05-20 19:03:00] - just to add something, coca is the type of leaf that cocaine is extracted from, hence people say there was originally cocaine in coca-cole - travis

[2001-05-20 18:35:00] - ok i stand corrected

[2001-05-20 18:07:00] - vinnie/dewey . . . do either of you want to change your color?  ~a

[2001-05-20 18:05:00] - cacao beans make chocolate  ~a

[2001-05-20 17:31:00] - on the topic, tjhsst.com seems to be down..... - mig

[2001-05-20 17:30:00] - Tom jones Housing for stupid secular turtles. - mig

[2001-05-20 17:28:00] - as for tjhsst.  i don't think it is, and it very well shouldn't be, since it's an acronymn. - mig

[2001-05-20 17:23:00] - or it might not refer to it, but i know that coca beans are used to make chocolate. - mig

[2001-05-20 17:23:00] - the coca in coca cola i think refers to coca beans. - mig

[2001-05-20 17:12:00] - crap

[2001-05-20 17:12:00] - and everywhere you see "copyrighted" i mean "<b>trademarked</b"  ~a

[2001-05-20 17:11:00] - doh.  i meant:  i think the part that should have been copyrighted is coca.  and have cola be the type of coca.  ~a

[2001-05-20 17:09:00] - i don't know about coca.  i still don't like cola being in the name they copyrighted though.  i think the part that should have been copyrighted is coca.  and have cola be the type of cola  . . . ~a

[2001-05-20 17:08:00] - ok.  well.  cola i think is a word.  ~a

[2001-05-20 17:08:00] - hmmm.  good point.  i don't know.  :-\  ~a

[2001-05-20 17:07:00] - wait a minute, maybe it is.  damn faulty logic. - mig

[2001-05-20 17:03:00] - and coca-cola isn't a made up word.  both coca and cola are in the english dictionary. - mig

[2001-05-20 17:00:00] - except for the case of another company that makes soft-drinks calling itself coca-cola, i think anything else is fair game(including internet domains). - mig

[2001-05-20 16:59:00] - if you don't have trade marking than you can't require a disclamer that says "this totally crappy stale coffee is not related to the soda"  ~a

[2001-05-20 16:59:00] - because you are crazy.  trademarking is very important!  because of the stale coffee thing!  right?  ~a

[2001-05-20 16:57:00] - that point is moot to me, because i don't really believe in the idea of trademarking. - mig

[2001-05-20 16:54:00] - because this brings us back to tjhsst.com  ~a

[2001-05-20 16:53:00] - but coca-cola is trade marked.  if coca-cola was an english word (like aim), i would understand.  but coca cola isn't.  tjhsst isn't trade marked, right?  ~a

[2001-05-20 16:52:00] - basically i see the whole pepsi scenario as a pepsi being opporunistic, and the ones who are opportunistic gain constumers. - mig

[2001-05-20 16:48:00] - i mean, if some morons took the sat and made marks in the do not write here, could they sue the people who made the scantrons for not making the direcitons more clear???  - mig

[2001-05-20 16:45:00] - or more importantly, why is it my problem? - mig

[2001-05-20 16:42:00] - well, you have to draw the stupidity line somewhere.  if you don't care to read or understand a disclaimer, than that's a different problem. - mig\

[2001-05-20 16:35:00] - well I think it would bother me if I lost any customers.  and though it is a good point, I don't think disclaimers are effective enough (how many people would actually read them) to alleviate all product confusion - boing

[2001-05-20 16:35:00] - i mean, people assume lots of companies website addresses are : www.companyname.com, but it's no big deal, why should it be any big deal for coke. - mig

[2001-05-20 16:31:00] - pepsi might gain a small amount of customers in the short run but in the long run it wouldn't matter so much(as long as coke advertises the correct site). - mig

[2001-05-20 16:27:00] - and people would just type www.whitehouse.com, what's your point? - mig

[2001-05-20 16:27:00] - while at the same time, pepsico is getting more customers by using a name they didn't create

[2001-05-20 16:26:00] - frankly, it's not a very good idea to assume that coca-cola company website is www.cocacola.com without checking first, as lots of times this is not the case. - mig

[2001-05-20 16:26:00] - ah, but a lot of people would just type cocacola.com, and not go through the effort of searching out the correct variation - boing

[2001-05-20 16:25:00] - okay, that's a valid answer to the reputation argument, but what about the fact that pepsi registering cocacola.com would limit coca cola's ability to sell their product? - boing

[2001-05-20 16:24:00] - and for god sakes, there are an unlimited amount of web addresses.  if one's taken, use a variation!  As long as you advertise that the variation is your website(last i checked, that is the companies responsibility), no one should be confused. - mig

[2001-05-20 16:17:00] - as for repuation concerns, just slap something on the website saying: "not affliated with aol instant messager" and that's that. - mig

[2001-05-20 16:15:00] - copyrighting concepts, ideas, and such is ok by me, but trademarking actual words that you could find in the english dictionary i think is not right. - mig

[2001-05-20 16:11:00] - i don't think that words should really be owned. - mig

[2001-05-20 16:10:00] - both of those were - boing, if you didn't figure it out :-P - boing

[2001-05-20 16:09:00] - okay, fair enough... where do you think the line must be drawn in the definition of infringement?

[2001-05-20 16:09:00] - what are the grounds for your belief that trademark law is inappropriate?

[2001-05-20 16:08:00] - or rather, i think they should be much more restricitive as to what constitutes a "trademark infringement" - mig

[2001-05-20 16:08:00] - okay well that's a different argument entirely... so far, I had been arguing under the assumption that trademark law is okay in itself, and the only debate was regarding its application to domain names - boing

[2001-05-20 16:07:00] - frankly, no. - mig

[2001-05-20 16:03:00] - and do you think trademark law should exist at all? - boing

[2001-05-20 16:02:00] - so you think that aol should not be able to protect their trademark in terms of domain names no matter how much foresight they may have? - boing

[2001-05-20 15:59:00] - well of course they would have to.  registering ain't free. - mig

[2001-05-20 15:54:00] - note that aol is not going after domains with "aim" in them that don't seem to be referring to aol instant messenger... aim.org is the "Accuracy in Media" group, which clearly doesn't refer to instant messenger, and thus has had no problems - boing

[2001-05-20 15:52:00] - and, regarding your comment about foresight, if you apply it to the aimster/aol case, aol would have to register every possible domain with "aim" in it to protect themselves from products which derive their names from AOL's AIM service - boing

[2001-05-20 15:48:00] - reducing the concept of a trademark to the idea of simple property rights ignores the fact that misuse of an existing trademark affects the reputation and success of the trademark holder, whereas a tangible object would not have that effect - boing

[2001-05-20 15:45:00] - so pepsico registering cocacola.com effectively makes it impossible for the coca cola corporation to market their product, whose name and reputation they created and established - boing

[2001-05-20 15:43:00] - the difference between that example and the cocacola.com example is that there's only one cocacola.com, but coca cola (stale coffee) and coca cola (soda) can coexist. - boing

[2001-05-20 15:42:00] - they "got it first" in that they created the bottle and the liquid, and they were the first to put the name "coca cola" on it, but they didn't create the name and the existence of that product hurts the reputation of the coca cola corporation - boing

[2001-05-20 15:40:00] - but pepsi didn't just "create" it, such that it's theirs to keep.  the coca cola name has been built up over years as a trademark with a reputation.  what if pepsico made a bottle of stale coffee and put the name "coca cola" on it? - boing

[2001-05-20 15:18:00] - as far as i'm concerned, domain names are property, and as such, no one has the right to take it away as long as you obtained it legally. - mig

[2001-05-20 15:07:00] - if coca cola didn't have the foresight to register their own name as a domain, then it's their own fault. - mig

[2001-05-20 15:06:00] - i don't agree.  if pepsi got it first, its theirs.  plain and simple. - mig

[2001-05-20 14:53:00] - though I think if, say pepsico registered cocacola.com and wouldn't relinquish it for less than ten million dollars, then there has to be some legal action that can be taken by coca cola to protect their name. - boing

[2001-05-20 14:51:00] - however, I do agree with you in that I don't think domain names are necessarily the best place for strict copyright enforcement... - boing

[2001-05-20 14:49:00] - so based on the fact that most court cases seem to be upholding that copyrights can be enforced in the case of cybersquatters, this case is as strong as any for aimster.com to have their domain revoked - boing

[2001-05-20 14:46:00] - which is a valid worry, since services like aimster and napster and gnutella are very controversial - boing

[2001-05-20 14:45:00] - i.e. that aimster was also a product of aol, and aol's stance is that their reputation would then be liable to the behaviors of aimster - boing

[2001-05-20 14:44:00] - and miguel, the "confusion" argument is not whether people will go to aimster.com when they're trying to go to aol.com, but rather whether people might think that aimster was associated with aim - boing

[2001-05-20 14:43:00] - personally, I think the whole "aim"ee thing is just bullshit invented to protect the aimster people from situations like this - boing

[2001-05-20 14:41:00] - granted I think it's wrong that AOL was granted a trademark on something like the word "AIM," but since they did get the copyright, they have a right to protect it - boing

[2001-05-20 14:40:00] - I think that, if the determinant of whether it's a copyright violation is whether "Aimster" would be interpereted to be associated with "AIM," then it meets that criteria - boing

[2001-05-20 14:38:00] - Aimster gives you the fastest, most complete searching of the hottest files on the major internet file-sharing services- including AOL File Sharing... - boing

[2001-05-20 14:38:00] - from the aimster page: "Aimster integrates with your instant messenger service to provide you with the ultimate file sharing tool" - boing

[2001-05-20 13:50:00] - http://www.smh.com.au/news/0105/17/pageone/pageone6.html  hmm, somewhat fascinating, but it can have a lot of evil applications. - mig

[2001-05-20 12:37:00] - so it would be very difficult to prove that www.aolsucks.com would be confusing to customers. - mig

[2001-05-20 12:36:00] - anyways, their argument is that the domain name "confuses" their customers (how one would confuse www.aimster.com and www.aol.com is completely beyond me). - mig

[2001-05-20 12:27:00] - and i don't think that trademark laws should be applied to internet domains.  you want to make sure you have a domain name?  secure the rights to it before someone else does. and if you don't, well tough. - mig

[2001-05-20 12:25:00] - There are a gazillion things you can use the letters "AIM" for. - mig

[2001-05-20 12:25:00] - the problem that i have with this whole "aim" thing is that i don't think it's right for them to trademark the acronym.  The acronym is not what's supposed to be trademarked it's the name "AOL Instant Messanger" - mig

[2001-05-20 12:21:00] - to refute that though, that's not where the "aim" from aimster came from though.  apparently it was named for one of the programmers daughters, "aim"ee - mig

[2001-05-20 11:50:00] - though I don't understand why they have a problem with aimster.com, but not with aolsucks.com or aolwatch.com or anything like that - boing

[2001-05-20 11:49:00] - I don't have as much of a problem with the aimster ruling as I do with other squatting cases.  the "aim" in "aimster" is very obviously derived from aol instant messenger, so the argument that it violates the trademark holds more water - boing

[2001-05-19 23:57:00] - http://aparna.dhs.org/  new and cool  :-D  ~a

[2001-05-19 23:03:00] - http://www.angryflower.com/slappi.gif (too big) Yay, Bob The Angry Flower beats up George W Bush. Pretty random and silly - aaron

[2001-05-19 22:49:00] - yeah, it seems like they managed to create a bunch of minor annoyances. - mig

[2001-05-19 22:36:00] - The thing I don't like about the new version of AIM is that the "leave away message" menu item is no longer the first item in the list. Now it's, AIM Today. - aaron

[2001-05-19 22:16:00] - http://espn.go.com/mlb/columns/stark_jayson/1201283.html this is fucking hilarious. - mig

[2001-05-19 17:41:00] - yes, that would be fair, of course most companies aren't really interested in fair, so they whine to the government because of their lack of foresight. - mig

[2001-05-19 17:08:00] - should be first come, first served - viinie

[2001-05-19 17:07:00] - i've always loathed the anti-cybersquatting laws. there have been far worse cases than the aim thing though - vinnie

[2001-05-19 15:56:00] - gainst them. - mig

[2001-05-19 15:55:00] - personally i've never had a problem with stuff like cybersquatting, and it seems strange that companies feel they have the right to internet domains simply because that's what their company is called.  seems they don't like capitalism when it works a

[2001-05-19 00:24:00] - ugh.  aol really fucked aim up.  the new version has "new close button behavior".    it doesn't exit aim completely now, which is good, but now the minimize button leaves aim on the taskbar!!! god dammit! - mig

[2001-05-18 17:25:00] - i think he was referring to the economy here in the us. - mig

[2001-05-18 17:18:00] - wouldn't all these factors affect the economy to some degree?  ~a

[2001-05-18 17:18:00] - and do other countries not have summer breaks?  even if they did, aren't the summers different depending on your longitude?  ~a

[2001-05-18 16:30:00] - yes, cybercafe. ok , i have to go now. bye everyone. i will write more later. :-D -jdb

[2001-05-18 16:22:00] - i wonder if the economy does better over the summers because of the surge of students who have nothing better to do but get a job.  it's probably measurable, right?  ~a

[2001-05-18 16:20:00] - i don't get out till 6  ~a

[2001-05-18 10:52:00] - really? i was told that windows computers did support telnet. -dave

[2001-05-18 10:42:00] - then chances are you aren't going to be able to telnet to the computer running windows.  just recently, microsoft has started to support telnet, but they aren't really big into it.  ~a

[2001-05-18 10:27:00] - no, they're both running windows -dave

[2001-05-18 10:11:00] - is the computer with the modem running linux?  ~a

[2001-05-18 09:58:00] - if i connected two computers onto a lan, and one has a modem, is there a telnet command that will let me tell the computer with the modem (from the one without the modem) to connect to erols? -dave

[2001-05-18 09:57:00] - ugh, someone else needs to be on top, so that we don't have this horrible color scheme :) - vinnie

[2001-05-18 09:56:00] - i have a random telnet question as well -dave

[2001-05-18 09:54:00] - what's a "w" command? -dave

[2001-05-18 09:42:00] - i found out miguel's ip by looking at my web page logs.  ~a

[2001-05-18 09:42:00] - the way i found out my real world ip is telnetting to tj and doing a "w" command.  ~a

[2001-05-18 09:39:00] - so how do you figure out your real world ip? -dave
