Can somebody explain 'host server' to me?

[StarsGoBlue]

Use small words, please.

I have a DSL account through SBC Yahoo, and picked the Yahoo Briefcase (Yahoo Photos) option which gives me lots of storage for pics. It's on its own webpage and everything.

I have a few albums underway, mostly for my other hobby and icons for my LiveJournal.

Doesn't this mean that those images are stored somewhere other than on my computer? So if I wanted to upload one here, shouldn't I be able to?

I's so confused...


*****Stars :confused:

[Lord Loser]

I think a host-server is when you're invited over for dinner at someone's house and the host serves you snacks and things...

(c'mon what'd ya expect from me. :ewink: )

[StarsGoBlue]

You are so lucky this is cyber-space... otherwise you'd get a smack on the back of the head. :P

[Lord Loser]

I'm glad I'm not one of your students, sheesh...

me-->:poke:<-- Stars

[StarsGoBlue]

1. My students know better than to be snarky, bwahahahaha...

2. What a baby. You know I can't *really* hurt you.

3. Um... you only hurt the ones you love (at least on Farscape)?



If it will make you feel better... :trout:

Ooops, I meant :kotc:

*****Stars :innocent:<---still waiting for someone with a brain to show up & explain pic-hosting

[grinner]

Yahoo uses Geocities... actually Yahoo owns Geocities... and Geocities does NOT allow hotlinking. So you would NOT be able to link to your photos. And yes... you are using someone elses system to store your pictures.

[StarsGoBlue]

Well there you have it. *glare in direction of Yahoo/Geocities* :ppbb:

Thanks grinner! :kotc:


*****Stars :santa:

[grinner]

:kotc: no problem. I found out the same thing myself. That is why I am thinking about getting my own webpage... but it seems that someone else already has grinner.com maybe I will go with grinner.net or grinner.cc or something.

[Lord Loser]

Ahhh, I can feel the love from here...

Exactly. Hence the, 'otherwise you'd get a slap to the back of the head' remark. It's a sign of affection. Just ask Aeryn.

And grinner that is just wrong, so wrong, me thinks we need to post a picture, since the calendar thing doesn't seem to be happening...

-Frunium who if you didn't post at least 1300+ on your SAT's don't even discuss intelligence with me...

Ah, I see... fortunately, I also have in hand my ruler (which has centimeter and millimeter calibrations) for just such occasions.

Edited to add:



Not to criticize any actual morons out there, it's OK to be a moron, it just makes the rest of the population look good in comparison...

-Frunium as he sticks his hand in his waist band Al Bundy like...

[Lord Loser]

To answer an earlier question of yours Frunie, ACT's are like the SAT's only with the highest possible score of 35. Therefore the average score would be around 18. Don't know anything about the SAT's, what's a good score on those?

[Frunium Slip]

SAT a perfect score is 1600, actually had someone score perfect in my class...

As for me, thanks for making me look this crap up BTW, of High School students, 97% in verbal, 99% in math.

College bound seniors: 93% verbal, 95% reading, 87% vocabulary, 97% math...

Obviously not a moron, just can't type...

Oh, not this again. :rolleyes:

All I said was that I thought I remembered you making reference to a Mrs. LL, and would gladly cede kissing privileges to the rightful owner, lest she become upset and smack you about the head with heavy, blunt objects.

But when I thought about it some more, I think it was someone on LiveJournal making reference to *their* spouse. You may remember I have said more than once that my brain is swiss cheese?


Oh, and Frunium, that's 'cause the party is mostly non-Scapers (there actually ARE some people who remain UnScaped!). Besides, we party here every day! :disco:

Gotta go... my presence has been requested for dance-type hijinks...if I don't twist my ankle in these heels. Maybe I should just lose the shoes?

*****Stars :dancin:

Dance-type hijinks and losing shoes (heels no less)... are you sure this doesn't involve a pole and folded dollar bills?

Apparently LL took the special ed version of the ACT's, cuz in NE our highest score possible is a 36. :D And no, grinner, is not dain bramaged - 25 ain't too shabby.
