Like you can't cut & paste the URL? Let's see how long this takes http://aem.asm.org/cgi/content/abstract/66/2/700?maxtoshow=&HITS=150&hits=150&RESULTFORMAT=&fulltext=thermophilic+fingi&searchid=975498174408_10577&stored_search=&FIRSTINDEX=&journalcode=aem Yep, 6 keystrokes to switch to the currently open web page, tab to the top, cut the URL, jump back to here & paste it. Didn't even have to use the mouse. And I'm only using Windoze. (No, the URL there isn't relevant to this thread, it just happened to be on my Netscape at the time) Ken Brown Jim Choate wrote:
Sunder raises a good point about Netscape (and potentially other software as well) amd forwarding URL's with attached content.
Why is the page attached? Because Netscape attaches the page and doesn't offer a way to send only the URL from right click -> send page. There isn't a switch to set default behaviour (and there should be).
So, if you got a bitch about your copyright being infringed, take it to Netscape since they wrote the program without a mechanism that prevents users from committing copyright infringement. Of course this opens a perfect opportunity for LEA's to justify setting at least some basic programming guidelines that we'd all have to comply with...
As to using HTML, this is 2000 (soon to be 2001). Get used to it. Hell, I might start embedding ANSI VT100 color codes and the occassional ^g. Animated ANSI would be pretty cool too. If I get the time I might even install TurBoard and MGE under an emulation and start including NAPLPS graphics while I'm at it. I don't have words to express the frustration I have with straight ASCII text and doing technical work at times (but that's another issue).
