But according to that test, Lynx still exists? I loved Lynx in the 90s. Where can I find it?

typically in

typically in /usr/local/bin/lynx. I believe that is on a Debian box.

It isn't included in Red Hat Enterprise, for instance. I betcha I can find the source code though...Aha! It is a handy lil critter and I've missed having it on my boxen, so I'll probably compile this puppy myself.

I think I get extra nerd points for being married to a SysAdmin/all around Nerd King. I know stuff that I probably shouldn't!

Also, Becky, how can you know what Lynx is and only be lightly nerdy?

In college, when the internet was much slower and our university servers were often clogged, lynx was sometimes the only way I could read the content of a website.

We'd log in to the Sun machine, type netscape or lynx, hit return, and that was how we got to webpages.

...but I get it from my "better half!" Laughing out loud without him I bet I wouldn't be nerdy at all! Eye-wink

...and we prefer the term "geeky!"

I don't despise nerds, I'm married to one. I think some of the questions were skewed...I have no opinion on some of those questions!!! (or didn't know what they were talking about...cause...I'm not a nerd)

I AM a scifi geek and I can prove it:

Except DH is more of a scifi geek than I am:

I don't know if I can handle this!

CGI effects in The Original Series? Can it possibly be done without being groaningly bad like the junk done to Star Wars Episodes 4 through 6?

New music? But I LOVE the cheesy dunt-duh-duh-DUNT music of TOS. I'm going to wait and see, but I don't have a good feeling about this.

An aside: I remember hearing that when one episode of TOS was digitally remastered some funny stuff showed up, like coffee stains on crewmembers shirts. The old cameras and film didn't pick that stuff up so the costume department would let things like that slide. When digitally remastered, Spock's shirt was dirty, they had to clean it up on the computer. This was done for the special effect of putting the DS9 crew onto TOS Enterprise and K-7 Space Station in the DS9 episode Trials and Tribble-ations.

why wouldn't the crewmembers' shirts have coffee stains?

Submitted by Becky on Wed, 09/06/2006 - 8:49am.

They drink coffee on the Enterprise. Who's to say that detergent gets any better in the future?

The old music was great. I don't see any reason for new. Although I'm always happy to hear about a composer getting work!

Not so much a computer nerd as a teensy bit of a science nerd, and always a general knowledge nerd (knew the manganese question!).

However I lost it completely when you lot started talking about Lynx (heard of it, but wouldn't really know what it was), and start getting super-Trekkie. I never got past the Next Generation thanks to Singapore showing it at 1am and never showing DS9. Don't think there'd be much point in me taking the Star Trek test!
