CDR: online copy of Vinge's True Names
There is an online copy of Vernor Vinge's novel True Names at http://www.neoisp.org/macroscope/vinge/vernor/true_names/truename.htm. I don't know who put it up, but I found it by a doing a Google search for '"true names" "just barely possible"'.
Hmm, all I get when I go there is a blank page, but it looks like some really big files a loading before it gets there.Wonder wht I'm downloading? Wonder if I'm bullet proof? Care to download it and send it to me? Wei Dai wrote:

Check the HTML source The page contains the text of a story, but there are HTML errors that prevent it being displayed on my browser) Adding a </table> at the end fixes it. Ken Hmmm.... Harmon Seaver wrote:

Bogon html. wget and xemacs solve the problem, with the bonus that web instability can't remove your copy.

Netscape seems to have problems with it. It seems to view fine under the Opera browser. Harmon Seaver wrote:

Netscape 4.7x choked on it. Internet Exploder loads it just fine. Thanks! Bill Bill Stewart, bill.stewart@pobox.com PGP Fingerprint D454 E202 CBC8 40BF 3C85 B884 0ABE 4639

The wonderful KDE2 Browswer 'Konqueror' loaded it with no problems. Of course it was being pounded heavily, but it did eventually come up. BTW: If you get a chance to install Linux Mandrake 7.2 distribution, I highly recommend KDE2. Despite a few remaining bugs Konqueror is the browser so many of us waited for from the Mozilla group, but never received. ObCrypto: Konqueror implements full SSL with client-side certs and its Cryptography configuration dialog allows fine-grained control over crypto settings (as well as displaying transforms currently in use). jim -- Sometimes it is said that man can not be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then, be trusted with the government of others? Or have we found angels in the forms of kings to govern him? Let history answer this question. -- Thomas Jefferson, 1st Inaugural
Interestingly enough, all you have to do to get this page to work is open it in Netscape Composer, save it to your drive. Should have thought of that last night. Wei Dai wrote:
