How To Merge Config Files

But let's face it, with Dial-up, how much additional speed can you get?

Well, as things stand, a dial-up connection will usually benefit even more than a broadband connection, vis-a-vis a speed increase. Consider: You wish to eliminate all images, no matter what they are used for, and use a filter to do this. At this point, the preprocessor (Proxo) will allow the command to fetch the image to get through to the browser - after all, it's only text. But when that fetch command comes back out from the browser as a request for the image, the preprocessor finds a match, and kills the connection. Hence, the only time used was for the d/l'ing of the text itself, and no time was spent on the image.

That's a small improvement for small images (low byte count). A lot of them will add up, but so will the time spent in the preproccessor stage, per every match found. However, if you kill one or more large images, then you'll definitely notice that your page loads faster. Some background images are quite large - a filter like the one just described will dramatically reduce the page loading time.

Hope this was short enough for you.

Very concise...but where's the fun in that?

Thanks for all your help, but really, I am going to pass on this one.

Better issue me a warning. I'll accept it in good grace, I deserve it. Sigh.

Man, you're too easy. No offense was really taken. I was pulling your chain. So, I apologize for not sensing that you're so sensitive....(Gotcha).

I like to play, Oddysey.

Man, just which here league do you think you're playin' in, bwaoy? This here's the big time. Bwaoy. Did you for a split-moment believe that Kye-U was gonna drop the hammer on my little buttski? That must've disappointed you big-time.

Come on, BF, if you're gonna fly like a turkey, you won't be able to mess with us eagles! (Thanks, John.) I mean, even Jaded_Goth didn't flinch when I referred to her as "him/her/its", in another thread.

My sense of humor is currntly sitting under the bridge on First Avenue, just south of Pioneer Square. It's taking notes while watching the winos, looking for new ways to po The Man. When it gets back, watch out.

Bwaoy.

Hey, I don't care how come you're gonna hang me, all I ask is that you use a clean rope, OK?

[Bold_Fortune]

LOL. You're going to be great fun I can tell.

This is all fun, but you're still going to eventually have to answer to her for this comment...

"I mean, even Jaded_Goth didn't flinch when I referred to her as "him/her/its", in another thread."

"even Jaded_Goth"? (I gotta see this explanation. lol)

Hear that? (dum-de-dum, dum-de-dum, yadda yadda....) That's the sound of one knee knocking.

I'll dream up something, if and when it becomes necessary. Until then, all is well in la-la land. :P

All in good sport, yes indeedy. Poor Kye-U is probably swallowing pills by the bottle-ful right about now. This is the most rowdy anybody's gotten since he opened up the forum back in March. Good, it'll give him something to worry about, maybe take is mind off of his pending surgery and recovery. <_<


Oddysey

Now getting even odder on a computer near you!

[Jaded_Goth]

La-La Land,indeed.

Oddysey,if you're going to send postcards,always remember that they will be franked.Hence,I will be able to tell where they have originated from.

I was the first to admit I was folding under pressure at work,BTW.I think the definition of insanity is something along the lines of "being so far gone,you just can't tell."

Cassandra WHO??!!?

[Bold_Fortune]

You're right, Oddysey. Jaded_Goth doesn't flinch in the face of an attack. Even when you so callously abused her with your remark.

I mean, if it was me, I would have completely and totally flipped out if someone had referred to me as simple-minded.

I mean, when you say something like, "even someone like Bold," that's the equivalent to saying, "even someone as simple-minded as Bold" ...or, in this case, as simple-minded as Jaded_Goth.

Jaded_Goth, you're a Saint. I mean to overlook something like that.

[Jaded_Goth]

Hey,BF,I am comfortable in my own skin.The Internet is a strange place.Sometimes,being able to hide behind a computer makes people behave in a manner they would not get away with in real life.

I've noticed that for some folks hounding and sniping at others is a form of sport.I really can't be bothered to retaliate.Reciprocal fun-poking is one thing,but permanently engaging in hostilities for the sake of it is another.

Yes,I am simple-minded.If I ever felt I was being subjected needlessly to some cyber-parody of a kangaroo court,I'd move on.I guess it's a measure of civility.How evil/unkind/derogatory etc you get when granted
anonimity.

[Oddysey]

Bold_Fortune;

See? I told you so. My saintliness has allowed me to skate by, unscathed. [snicker]

~~~~~~
Jaded_Goth;

I remind you of Rule #1:
Dredging up old gripes and re-hashing them is verboten. If you miss your window of opportunity to "return the favor", that's it - it's gone. However, you can refer back to said "lost opportunity", as often as you like, when making retributive remarks in any future "message of reprisal".

So don't go thinking that the above comment to Bold_Fortune allows you to cut me off at the knees (for the "even Jaded_Goth..." thing), at least not at this time. (But Lord help me the next time when if I screw up! [rolleyes] )

~~~~~~
Both of you;

No one needs a Kye-U to tell us that you are both great additions to the UOF roster. I'm proud to trade barbs, bon-mots, witticisms, what-have-you with either of you, anytime.

Yes, this is a non-vindictive board. You can be sure that Kye-U has seen more than his fair share of petty-mindedness on other boards, and he has exhibited no hesitation in tethering the few jokers who have shown up so far. As long as each of us is helpful in some way, meaning that we add value to this forum, then we'll be able to pull hi-jinks, pratfalls, and pranks all we want. But when the Hand Of God reaches down and smites one of us, well... so be it. 'Nuff said.

There, that was fun, wasn't it boys and girls? [unsure] I'm off now to go imitate a poser who thinks he knows how to play guitar (or for this particular gig, a bass). I'll be back on board sometime tomorrow evening (Sat the 24th).

Keep the electrons warm for me! [blink] B)


Oddysey

[Oddysey]

Can you spell HIJACK? That is what's happened to this fred. I mean, it's been since page two that we last saw any real mention of merging filters, right? Wow, we really could be called on the carpet by Our Fearless Leader (I've just set a keyboard macro to type that in for me - I love it!) for this heineous crime! [angry]

Anyway....

Quote:Cassandra WHO?

On the off-chance that you're serious about that, and not joshing me, I'll leave you with this thought: Take a good look at your avatar, and then Google for "Cassandra Peterson".

But if you do already know who she is, then the fun is reserved for other members of UOF.

Personally, I never met the lady, and she is a lady of the highest caliber, but if more young people would use her as a role model for getting ahead in life while having fun, this planet would be a whole lot better off. IMHO, of course.

And it doesnt hurt her image any that her favorite movies are the two of the all-time best movies ever made! There, that's enough of a clue for you. Good luck!!
