Right--exactly what I wrote. The server reads the Jawascript and
compiles it for inclusion on the downloaded web page. That's why
Jawascript is called a 'server' side 'include'.

Not directly, I'll admit, but that's only because the server handles it
all. It is a seamless addition to the hmtl standard, which is why it
works so well.

It is not. It is a client-side feature. And Javascript is not being
compiled. The include that the server adds might have Javascript in it,
but also HTML, CSS, or any other client-side processed feature.

It is not. Standalone Javascript documents carry the .js extension. Any
other file that can include javascript has extensions of their own, like
HTML and XML.

Servers do not handle Javascript. And it true that it is an addition to
HTML but it is far from seamless and in most cases it does not work
well. Then there is also ECMAscript and Jscript.
You are wrong on all points. So your either naieve or intentionally busy
spreading misinformation.

You don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about. Javascript is

No? Well, I've seen a lot of asp-files with JavaScript code that

Then why does the file have the shmtl extension? Specifically because
the server compiles the Jawascript.

That's because Microsoft Netscape was one of the first browsers to

No fool, Client means the computer that is requesting to review the page.
Javascript is client-side and so the server that the page is stored on just
passes the code to the client computer(requesting the page) and the browser
(IE / Netscape / Opera / etc.) reads and executes the javascript! PHP and
ASP are examples of server-side scripts that are executed by the server and
passed to the browser as raw HTML thus hiding the PHP/ASP - all javascript
is passed to the browser for the user to see if they click "View Source"!

No, no, no, the dudes I'm talking about don't have any tattoos. Or maybe
they did, they were completely covered by cloaks.

Ah! Maybe that's it! I've only seen the first one. Do they take off the
cloaks in the fourth one so you can see the tattoos? I'll have to hire the
DeeVeeDee. I believe you're wrong about the names, though, I looked them up
on the IMDB, and Episode IV is "The Voyage Home", and Episode VI is "The
Undiscovered County". HTH!

No way, man! Jawas were in the first Star Wars movie, which
was called _Star Wars_. You're right about their cloaks (well,
more like robes I thought) and eyes. Also, the Ewoks were in
the third (not "sixth") movie, _Revenge of the Jedi_, and they
were rather annoying. Jawas were much cooler. The second Star
Wars movie, _The Empire Strikes Back_, didn't have any "cutesy"
critters, and was also by far the best of the films.
Also Jawas live primarily on grains, I believe.

Perhaps not cloaking devices as we understand them, but in Empire Strikes Back,
when the Millenium Falcon is being persued by several Star Destroyers, it
vanishes from their Imperial's sight and radar, and one commander can be heard
saying something to the effect of, "That's impossible! No ship that small has
a cloaking device!"
(In actuallity, Solo attached the Falcon to the back of one of the Destroyers.
Good thing no Storm Troopers bothered to look out the window.)

And the first star wars movie made was Episode IV: A New Hope. It says so in
the crawl at the beginning that sets up the rest of the movie. The second
movie is Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. The third Star Wars movie was
Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. NOw he is almost right about the title of
this one. Its original working title was Revenge of the Jedi, however, this
was changed before original release. The 4th Star Wars movie filmed is
actually the first part of the whole story that George Lucas came up with.
That's why it's Episode I: The Phantom Menace. And the 5th SW movie filmed,
due out this summer. is Episode II: Attack of the Clones.
Mr. Bay, you are an ignorant fool and what's worse, you can't admit when
you're wrong. Give up before you make sure everyone thinks you are a
complete fool.

So was this the movie that had sandworms in it and Fremen, and a guy
called Paul Mowdib? I'm not sure, but I think it had Sting in it. That
was a cool movie, especially the special effects! It must have cost them
millions and millions of dollars for some of them. The technology used
must have been way ahead of it's time.

So no, it is not actually a habitable planet with
"very little water" or "endless sands" or "rocky wastelands"

Thanks for the info, Mr. Bay. This is what makes the
Internet so great: as long as you keep posting this
data people all over the world will know the actual
facts rather than blurry friend-of-a-friend half-truths.
Plus, if people make up falsehoods about which movie came

Ah, but you're ignoring the crawl at the end of the movie,
which clearly states that the "jawas" were actually midgets
wearing costumes, who lived on the planet "Earth." Further,
it is highly unlikely that they had actual glowing eyes.

What the hell are you talking about? "IV" is the roman numeral for
four...which means it's the *FOURTH* episode.
Besides, why would anyone film the fourth episode before the first
one? I mean, geez, think of the problems that could occur if it
somehow became a hit and you'd have to go back and re-negotiate all
those contracts with actors who, presumably, would ask for more money.
Not to mention the potential for grave continuity errors.
For your next trick, are you going to tell us that Police Academy 7
was actually filmed *first* and that the producers could only get
their hands on someone like Steve Landesburg to film the first one
since all the actors wanted too much money?

This is the epic convention of "in medias res," or starting
an epic tale in the middle. Homer and Milton did the same
thing, and Lucas borrowed heavily from these literary techniques.
That's why the movies contain so many demonic characters
falling down giant shafts. And why the "crawl" text

Isn't it odd that people who post jokes are generally regarded
as subhuman creeps just out to cause confusion and anarchy?
It's almost as if 90% of the present Internet population finds
the whole notion of a "joke" terribly confusing, leading to

There's nothing worse than someone who won't admit that he was wrong.
This one time? On another group? Somebody posted pure nonsense and
goaded one guy into responding, even though everyone else with two
functioning synapses could tell that the original posts were pure
nonsense. Nonetheless, this guy persisted in following up to the
nonsense, correcting every "factual error" and apparent inconsistency.
Even after he was told that the joke was on him, he refused to admit
it. Can you believe that?

Good idea. One small correction, though: the new technical term is
"view filter," at least in the latest version of Outlook Express. The
term "killfilter" was deemed a bit too aggressive and graphic in light
of the events of September 11.

I think a "forum" is an expression dating back to 15th century English
marketplaces. Because these places were loud and instructions could get
lost, common words were pronounced in such a way as to be as distinct as
possible. For instance, if I wanted four tomatoes (A common enough
request in those days) I would say to the merchent "Forum Toe-Mar-Toes"
and I would get seven radishes. Eventually, the word "forum" was used to
describe a meeting of four people, and quorum (from the latin, "quince")
came to mean a meeting of five people. This is why meetings must have a
quorum, or five people, to really be considered legally valid. Anyway,
since a meeting of four people can often be split into two opposing
factions and the arguments and rhetoric can get quite heated, eventually
any meeting that degenerated into fighting was called a forum.

Spok was a clone in the first Trek movies but then they used the

I am not surprised that they are cloning Kirk, probably that

I think you'll find an abbreviation is a contracted form of a word (such as

How does ROT-13 come to mean 'Rolling On The Floor Laughing Out Loud'?
There are no numbers in that expression!

Almost correct, but Internet Explorer is designed to sort out files on
your machine, and has nothing to do with the Internet. That much
should be obvious if you have spent any time working on a PC installed
with a Windows Operations System (OS).
Microsoft wrote Netscape and then distributed it on CDs, because it
wouldn't fit on the standard Windows installation CD, which is where
your confusion comes from. You're probably thinking of Microsoft
Outlook Express, which is another Microsoft program designed to view
web pages, but it is a very trimmed down version of Netscape from what
I have read about it.
CaptJosh
bought out the company that designs and writes it. Windows Explorer is an
attempt to integrate the old windows File Manager with Internet Explorer,
Microsoft's web browsing software. Obviously, I have far more experience

Then explain "TLA", which is an acronym for "Three Letter Acronym," and is not an abbreviation. You must make this stuff up, don't you?

Are you really Humpty-Dumpty?

[oh, never mind what CaptJosh wrote.]
Seems to me, Josh, you don't know when you're being joshed. But do keep
supplying Zixia with more straight lines. (Of course it's possible that the
posting confusing Internet Explorer with Windows Explorer is a sincere
expression of ignorance, but I'm choosing to give Z the benefit of the
doubt.)

But ROTFLOL in ROT-13 is meaningless.
You are not making any sense.

Right. But before that, Microsoft was in charge of writing Netscape.
I'm glad we agree on that point.

But Microsoft's web browsing software is Netscape! You admitted as
much above. Internet Explorer has nothing to do with the Internet, and
is just buzz-word compliant to sell more copies of it. How else would
those Linux people make any money?

I have lots of experience with computers! Because I work as a janitor
at the local university I get to see students use them for their
computer studies courses every day. Haven't you ever seen Good Will
Hunting? Janitors are smart.

Not exactly. "Internet Explorer" is the default name for the IP
address you use when you "dial-in" on an internet.

FIY: The installation happens with the "Windows Update" "button"
these days. CDs are so '90's.

What? Everyone knows that Outlook Express is the product for
Macs! Duh!

You should probably *read* your references before posting them:
T-L-A/ n. [Three-Letter Acronym] 1. Self-describing abbreviation <snip>
The operative word being "abbreviation."
-J
Mark Allread
I'll quote from your own cite: "T-L-A/ n. [Three-Letter Acronym] 1. Self-describing [snip]
No one said it wasn't an abbreviation. You said it wasn't an acronym. What do you think "self-describing" refers to? It's an acronym. You should check your facts before
posting nonsense to Usenet, I always do.

Except for you:
"TLA", [...] is not an abbreviation"
Your cited reference refutes _your_own_ assertion. Heh.
> You said it wasn't an acronym
It isn't. It's an abbreviation, or an initialism.
> You should check your facts before posting nonsense to Usenet, I always

Yes, your nonsense appears to have been very well researched. Completely
misunderstood, but well-researched nonetheless. Bravo.

You are deliberately quoting me out of context. What I said is "and is not an abbreviation." It isn't, it's a word. If English were your native language, you'd
know that.
"Heh" isn't a word, so it must be an abbreviation. We're talking about acronyms. Stop trying to change the subject.
> > You said it wasn't an acronym

It's a contraction, not an abbreviation. You are obviously confused by these things.
