Actually, you found the corporate site of FAST, not their search engine.
Their searchengine is located at http://alltheweb.com and is very efficient
and has won awards and stuff. You'll also find many other sites using their
search engine, like Tripod. I prefer it over Google, but they're pretty
equal (even though it seems like Google are starting to become biased,
offering better ranking for money), a search for PHP returned pretty much
the same results on both engines on the first page.

If you've got access to PHP and if it's not meant to be updating every
second you could make life easier for yourself and use this code:

<?php echo date("jS o\f F Y g:i A", time()); ?>

today at 1PM it would return:
22nd of August 2002 1:00 PM
To get it working, just place that code in the place you want the date and
time printed and rename the file to .php (if PHP is available).

It's achievable with a bit more work (I know you're not going to use this,
but I might as well post it anyway). If your site includes user
registration, you can ask them what timezone they live in, and use some
other date functions to find the server's TZ and compare it to the user's.

Both Apache 1 and Apache 2 work fine on Win32 platforms like W2k, have a
look here: http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/. They come in
..EXE and .MSI (MS Installer) packages and are very easy to set up and run.

The easiest way is to use virtual domains. I suppose IIS supports them.

There ARE not over 100k, but there HAVE been over 100k. Some poorly
administered servers might have that many groups, but there aren't all that
many active groups that officially exist.

Your sig should be right under *your* post, not the quoting (actually, top

Yeah, one has to remember that the virus program actually has to
*EXECUTED*. In this case, you have to run the screensaver for it do
anything. You can also have viruses stashed away on your disk without
knowing it, and without being in danger as long as the host files aren't
executed. (I had the PE.CIH virus laying around for years)

A bug in unpatched OE/Outlook versions allowed for this to happen. It works
by setting the attachment's MIME-type as a sound file (wav or midi) which
OE has fun executing. After a few viruses that used this vulnerability
Microshaft released some patches for it.

Actually, the NS installer isn't like most installers, you download a small

Actually, it should be around 45-50 degrees. That's the FOV of a human.
When I asked Roland about custom FOV he told me that he wasn't sure if he
at all could do it, and that RW does it based on the viewport's size.
