Hmm, I didn't get a redirect https://www.spacejamanewlegacy.net/
http://www.spacejamanewlegacy.net/ responds with "HTTP 301, Location: https://www.spacejam.com/ "
Sorry, my previous comment omitted a word. I meant to say "I didn't get a redirect to https://www.spacejamanewlegacy.net/ ".
slyall claimed to be redirected to https://www.spacejamanewlegacy.net/ .

I got the loop in both desktop Chrome and Firefox, as well as Android Chrome, Brave and Firefox (though these timed out after a few loops, unlike the desktop). Were you maybe on Safari/iOS?
I visited https://www.spacejam.com/ with Chrome on Windows, Firefox on Windows, and Chrome on Android. It didn't redirect for any of them.

#134WRT “You Wouldn't Steal a Car”: > ironically, the ad’s music was used without the creator’s permission. The font was not correctly licensed either.
Also, we can safely say the advert completely failed on its mission. I never saw it mentioned in anything but the most derisive and mocking terms.
If you were around and paying for media at the time, good have seen it before films at the cinema and as a pre-menu sting (sometimes unskippable) on some DVDs. One of those examples where paying customers were the only ones irritated by such a measure.
It certainly had wide audience awareness in its intended form, which is why the many comedy interpretations (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ALZZx1xmAzg probably being the most famous) came into being and worked so well.

#135For me, the greatest bit of nostalgia came from seeing the Netscape Navigator Meteors. (Going further I found this link, which also echoes how rare it is nowadays to see a working version https://erynwells.me/blog/2023/08/netscape-meteors/ ) It has been a while & the browser has such a storied history. When I was a middle schooler, I remember my elder sibling (a college CS major) explaining the chatter around 'IE4 vs…
I was inspired by this comment to install Netscape 7.02 from my installer archive.[0] It too has a logo with meteors, but it is circle-shaped instead of square, and the meteors follow a more winding path from top to bottom. Interestingly, when I first tried to install, it said something like "A version of Netscape is detected already running", which is because as you state Firefox was based on Netscape code. Here is…
I am a new-generation user, and I'm curious whether "Netscape" can be installed on modern computers. If it can, how would it perform when accessing modern websites? I really want to know. Thank you again for sharing.

The loop most definitely exists. It's rather odd you're not seeing it. Everything I can use to talk to the server gets the 301/302 redirects.

The version I installed was under an up-to-date version of Windows 10.
It works OK for http web sites, but for https, it pops up an alert:
Netscape 7.0 and s.yimg.com cannot communicate securely because they have no common encryption algorithms.
(this was for the Yahoo! page, it's the same message for other sites as well). I haven't tried anything else.
I also haven't tried (and don't plan to) using the bundled email client, which was the precursor to Thunderbird.

#139The "first MP3", without the background music, and just the voice, sounds a lot better to me than the original I listened to on YouTube. I liked the MP3 more. Any way for me to find similar stuff? Just a good voice singing stuff, without music? I know acapella, and some of it is good, but I'm thinking of something more specific. Just one person singing without music I guess, something poetic.
The acapella version of “Tom’s Diner” is, in fact, the original. The dance version was first put out as an unauthorized remix, but Suzanne Vega liked it and they negotiated an agreement.
Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks for this!
