This section pertains to those who can telnet but whose news boxes don't get a.g.u.d for whatever reason. If you have a WWW client, true, you can often access newsgroups that way, but usually the news URLs (in the format news:name.of.group) point the client to your local news machine, and if you don't get the group in the first place... you get the idea. It used to be true that one could telnet to library.wustl.edu and use the public Lynx browser there to read Usenet news, including the alt.

Where is this "d" group or "discussion group" that everybody talks about? I can't find it on my news server.

Sure you can. When you crosspost, the information in your "newsgroups" header propagates to the other servers along with your post. As long as your server carries at least ONE of the groups listed in the header, then it should accept your post and propagate it (and all of the header information) on to other servers. And if those other servers carry the decade groups, then pointers to your post will appear in all the specified newsgroups. If you're using Agent (versions .

As long as your server carries at least ONE of the groups listed in the header, and you make that valid group the first in your newsgroups listing, it should accept your post and propagate it (and all of the header information) on to other servers. If other servers carry those groups, then pointers to your post will appear in all the specified newsgroups.

Most likely your television station is using Electronic Newsroom Captioning. This is the script that the anchors are reading from. Only those portions that are scripted can be seen as captions. Most likely all weather, sports, live interviews and emergencies are not captioned. You as an individual or your local SHHH Chapter as a whole should complain that this practice is not acceptable.

Like many ISPs, SpiritOne does not have the resources, disk space, manpower, or bandwidth required to maintain a news server with all the groups and capabilities desired by our customers.

Cox HSI does not officially support the Linux operating system. However, the service works quite well (some say even better) under Linux. For help setting up your Linux system to use Cox HSI, please visit our All Things Unix forum.

The first thing to do is make sure you have an updated list of all the newsgroups that your server provides. If you're using Agent, this is accomplished by going to Online|Refresh Groups List -or- Online|Get New Groups After you have successfully retrieved all of the groups that your server carries, do a search for "alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.requests" (not including the quotes).

The news server periodically runs a program called "expire" which removes old articles from the news spool. The final phase of the expire program rebuilds the "active file," the file containing the list of newsgroups and articles on the server. To prevent customers from getting an obsolete copy of the active file, the server refuses connections to it, normally five to ten minutes. When the new active file is built, the server allows connections once again.

First, select Configuration|Login Options from the main menu. Next click on the "News Servers..." button. Then select "Default" from the drop-down menu. The Default Connection Options dialog should now appear. Enter the new news server name into the NNTP Server textbox and enter any other information that is required by the new news server. Then click on OK and OK again.

First, make sure your service includes news group access. This includes all ADSL SOHO, SDSL, IDSL, and T1 services.

Anyone (including AOL users) with a connection to the Internet can access our private NNTP server worldwide at anytime they wish. There are a few very rare exceptions where certain strict network firewalls may be set to reject a connection to a news server port. Again, that is a very rare situation and if permitted may be defeated with AntiFirewall™.

of Apache 1.3, CGI scripts are essentially not buffered. Every time your script does a "flush" to output data, that data gets relayed on to the client. Some scripting languages, for example Perl, have their own buffering for output - this can be disabled by setting the $| special variable to 1. Of course this does increase the overall number of packets being transmitted, which can result in a sense of slowness for the end user. Prior to 1.

No. Only patients who establish that they are residents of Oregon can participate if they meet certain criteria.

In those rare cases we use what we like to call the buddy system. Basically, we find the most energetic person on the team and then, using the utmost care and tenderness, we duct-tape* the sourpuss, "tandem parachutist style", to the back of the go-getter. It works great! Due to a recent “sticky situation,” our legal department no longer allows us to duct-tape two people together...too much hair loss, or something.

Western Skies airs twice weekly on Teusdays and Thursdays at 7pm and both shows repeat Saturdays at 4PM. Please visit westernskies.krcc.org. After years of wishing and months of discussion and planning, I can now announce that KRCC will create a local news magazine. The idea for this program has been on our “to do” list for well over a decade, but only now made possible by the “can do” spirit and vision of Colorado College’s President Richard Celeste.
