World: r3wp

Imagine changing security requester by intentionally translating 
it incorrectly :-)

when I wrote about it - I already started to think about  - then 
I need to teach to mu users few english words - seems better
;-)

I do wish it would behave better. Too often it does not appear in 
front of other windows or hides in the upper left corner. It seems 
quite random where it chooses to sit.

... and also the window is rather primitive ... e.g. with some file 
security requestor, if the file path is too long, it does not fit 
the screen and does not allow you to scroll :-)

Anyone know if R2 runs on OpenSolaris ?

Anyone remember some examples from long ago which ran Rebol code 
from a web page?  Kinda like PHP type stuff, but so long ago, it 
is fuzzy in my brain.

You mean the REBOL plugin or RSP?

Maybe RSP...not the plugin

There is/was also Magic! (like RSP)  -- it may be available on the 
French site:
http://www.rebolfrance.info

I do remember it being simpler than this.  There is the old thing 
about stuff can be before or after the REBOL script where it is embedded 
into things, and REBOL can find it and run it.  Maybe it was REBOL 
scripts embedded in .html that way...at the time I saw the scripts 
I thought it was cool, but I think it was simpler than RSP

I got out my old IRC bot yesterday called REBBOT and was surprised 
to find it still worked.  Seems the IRC platform has remained consistent.

Had some very ugly code in it also.

do html page works as long as the script is enclosed between [ ]

You can get Magic! here - http://auverlot.fr/Fichiers.html

The documentation is in French though.

I believe there were samples provided by Carl or someone else in 
the Cookbook.

Thanks sqlab, I was too lazy to look it up.  But glad to see my memory 
isn't failing [too quickly anyway].

Anyone here have a linkedin.com profile?  I was wondering if we could 
connect up and maybe even start a REBOL group there.  I just got 
linked today and was suprised to found the levels of management that 
were also linkedin.  Would be good exposure for REBOL if we could 
get something going in there.

Myself, Chris and Yeksoon are in there.

Chris found me by searching for Rebol.

Would you guys mind if we all linked up?

I don't mind

I still use linked-in

I tried searching for some of you guys but can't locate yas.  I'm 
new to linked-in so I might be doing something wrong.

I've never really used it myself... but I"m there.  Sorry I can't 
be of more help.

I have one too but rarly use it.

Anyone ever heard of using lemon JOY brand dishwashing liquid to 
kill mosquitioes?  My family in Tennessee says you just put a few 
drops in some water on a dishplate and watch the mosquites get caught 
in it and die.

All these foreclosures are causing mosquito problems ... apparently 
large swimming pools are just being abandoned without being emptied. 
 With no time to deal with the problem, health authorities are just 
chucking in mosquito eating gold fish into the pools as an interim 
measure.

oil is how they used to kill mosquitos in Africa

Paul, I heard that combination is also great for earwigs.

Hello, what is your experience with various trasnporters - DHL, Fedex, 
UPS, when you need to get something from China? :-) Which is cheapest?

I would brown tail (UPS) it if I were you.

Don't know if they are cheapest but if something gets lost then that 
isn't very cheap.

FedEx, I know UPS guys who only use FedEx when they send a package 
!

Hey Brock and Chris, I added a request to add you to my network on 
linked-in.  Just wanted to drop you guys a note and let you know 
I found you guys there.  Any other of our REBOL brothers on linked-in?

Yeksoon was there.  Don't know if he still is.  Oh, and I accepted 
your invitation.

Yeah I saw that.  Thanks Brock.

The Phoenix probe on Mars has returned the first good evidence it 
is sitting on  water ice  
and not salt or some other bright material.  

Water ice is the only candidate to sublimate away over a few days.

I have never seen ice under sand before.  You would think it was 
ice that close to the surface that it couldn't just easily spread 
the soil as if it was baby powder.  You would think it would at least 
have some viscosity.

I just don't buy it that it is ice.  If it were ice then I think 
we should see ice in the deepest part of the dig which would be near 
the center of the excavated hole not near the tip which would be 
closer to the surface.

if it isn't ice, why does it slowly disappear over the course of 
4 days when exposed to sunlight?

So your response is that it ACTs like ICE and my response is that 
is doesn't ACT like ICE.  See the predicament?

I grew up in northern Maine and I can assure you ice under a thin 
coaiting of topsoil, sand , forest litter  or whatever was an anual 
occurance.  So I can say in some respect (say existance)  it does 
act like water ice on Earth. What evidence would you offer that it 
does not act like ice on Mars?

Well, NASA says it acts like ice. I would assume they know what they're 
doing (most of the time). Also it may be the best way to detect ice, 
simply dig a hole and wait for the pictures to change. They only 
have 8 one-use-only sample ovens and have already used one, so possibly 
this is the best way to decide on what to do next.

if ice formed on the top, and then it got covered ... well, seems 
fairly good explanation/

Tomc - there is no component found on any other planet or in space 
that is not found also on earth to this point according to science. 
 In other words we haven't found a material that is made up of elements 
that are "foreign" to our knowledge.  So whatever the mars surfaces 
is composed of we should be able to duplicate the event here.   I'm 
not going to dispute your findings in Maine, and I'm not going to 
dispute that their may be water indeed on Mars.  I just don't think 
these pictures are evidence of it though.

Don't know why, but all this reminds me of book I own - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_on_Mars

But I was always a Philip Jose Farmer fan

I only like to read non-fiction.
