Dynamic DNS?

Well a Dyne is a measure of force. The conversion factor is 100000 Dynes = 1 Newton or 444820 Dynes = 1 pound-force. So I would assume that DynDNS is the amount of force required to push you Domain Name through the Servers to you web site.:D Actually I think kunal's guess may be better.

I thought 444810 Dynes = 1 pound-force!!!

robkerry,

Not according to "Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes 2nd Edition" by Richard M. Felder and Ronald W. Rouseau of the Department of Chemical Engineering, North Carolina State University. It is 444820 exactly.

etlux,

Actually, I was surprised that you had not jumped on this earlier, or maybe I am reading too many of your posts.

For those few who care, a dyne is a centimeter-gram-second unit of force, equal to the force required to impart an acceleration of one centimeter per second per second to a mass of one gram.

Either that, or it's something to do with very old animals.

That books made by Americans, wouldn't trust it!!

Only joking!
Knowing my luck, both of you are probably Americans!

Actually, that was courtesy of the 1937-1938 "Handbook of Physics" -- Pierce, Smith; published in Great Britain, 1938 (autographed, incidentally, by physicist George F. Manley).

etlux,

I knew I could not out do you.:)

I can take no credit, Marty. You see, George did it...

I beg to differ. I have been knighted by Queen Yippychick of Awfulbania as Sir Smart of Assalot. Therefore, my regal title belies my right to the subsidiary title of Official WHT Smart Ass.

If thy wisheth, thy may be mine court jester!

I sense a battle coming on over this, Spider John. Arm your goats, and prepare.

Hmmm... Am I gonna have to call upon the CDS to decide who is who? eh? Whoever survives them is the winner. What say you, sirs?

etLux
01-04-2001, 07:39 AM
I will abide by the decision of the CDS.

However, I am willing to make very big bribes to secure my proper title as Official WHT Smart Ass.

For instance:

1.)

I will stop calling Chicken, BC -- and vice versa.

2.)

I will name a goat after each member of the CDS.

Not enough, some more bribe may get you somewhere.

etLux
01-04-2001, 09:05 AM
I will also provide a virgin goat, for the CDS to do with what they will.

kunal
01-04-2001, 09:11 AM
Naa...they already have enough virgins lurking around.. anythign else?

etLux
01-04-2001, 09:14 AM
I will give, too, a pair of very large turkey bladders filled with fermented goat milk.

kunal

You are going anywhere with this etLux, the bribes you have offered are nothing compared the the bribes offered by Spider John.

etLux
01-04-2001, 09:32 AM
I am not worried. Spider John has inferior goats.

He is also not as good a Smart Ass.

As we say here, remember, the furball always comes up.

Exaclty, I don't believe him either.


etLux --> The deadline for the bribes ends in 1minute.

etLux

BC, I am surprised at you for doubting my veracity.

There is only one thing to do.

Henceforth, I will simply refrain from providing my highly professional services as Smart Ass for free.

Now you must pay for them.

How did you get to this slagging match from my existing question exactly???!!!

etLux
01-04-2001, 04:50 PM
It's all Kunal's fault. He is trying to extort me -- probably due to the new WHT Internet pay-toilet issue.

kunal
01-04-2001, 05:00 PM
Hey Hey Hey, watch it there etLux, your the one who offered bribe.

etLux
01-04-2001, 05:05 PM
Bribery is one thing... just good business practice. But this tendency toward extortion, uh, well, that could be construed as a character flaw.

kunal
01-04-2001, 05:12 PM
Well, extortion me? never! I am to nice to do any such thing EtLux. :( :( :D

For more information, go to http://www.excite.com and, in the search box, type in exactly this (no spaces):

dyndns

There's quite a lot listed on it.

Man, I am beginning to wish that I had never started this. Who knew that WHT had an official smart ass. But since I did, and being a good Kentucky mountain boy, I guess I could up the bribery a bit to two fat hogs and quart of the finest corn mash extract you can find.

By the way, I believe etlux, I just don't think any goat or turkey bladder, no matter what it is filled with, can compare to Kentucky shine and a pig roast.

A search engine? What's a search engine?

Definition: SEARCH ENGINE

An Internet artifice that purports to locate information which, however, is actually the product of a huge conspiracy amongst backbone providers to generate oodles of expensive traffic by inundating one with endless pages of useless links.

And Marty, until you have had fermented goat milk, you know nothing whatever of the true glories of inebriation.
