pinwebguy -You can set your Windows XP controls to do this for almost everything. Only exception would be following threads in a forum, but all links will use a new window. Works great.My Computer/Control Panel/Internet Properties/Advanced - Uncheck Reuse windows for launching shortcuts. gljohn

Another little trick to keep from wasting time while waiting for pages to load is when you see a link on the search page, instead of clicking on it, right click on it and choose open in new window. That way you can always stay on the search page and look at other things while the page is attempting to load. If you get a page not found, then you can just close the new window, and right click on the next one and do the same thing. plnwebguy

Page not found can also mean the site timed out before it could open, this often happens when a site is on a busy server especially free sites, it can also be due to a bad connection on your end. I can't tell you how many times I thought the web was slow only to find my service logged me in at 28k and buggy to boot!When you get page not found, try backspacing which can reload the page or take you back to the search engine and give it a second go. Also if the link is long try backspacing over t... [ More ]

I tried both www.lotteryinstitute.com and www.thelotteryinstitute.com and neither worked. Can you please post the exact URL so I can find it

Google cache works very well

OpenMinded,Here are a couple things to try - if you're doing the search on Google, sometimes you can click on the Cached option and it will pull up the old pages. Not always, but sometimes. If that doesn't work, then try this site - http://www.archive.org/web/web.php - it's called the Wayback Machine and can sometimes pull up old pages if you know the URL.Hope that helps,plnwebguy

Openminded the folks at NASA crunch the lottery numbers and other numbers all the time on their super computers. I believe one of the employees won a big lottery jackpot using his home made formula. There are links to NASA sites but it would take hours finding the one with the lottery math formulas. I think I ran across it a year or so ago if I find it again I will post the web address.

Todd, I know you've been asked this question numerous times...Are you really with the Lottery Commission? If so, what are Wednesday's PowerBall Numbers? Just joshing.By the way, the school examples were just the two that I could think of at the time and/or am willing to speak of right now (still researching a lot of ideas). The topics I research come from various sources from the common little man to NASA. But, I'll accept your explanation and understand that sites don't last forever. Perh... [ More ]

Oh, OK. In that case, another contributing factor may be that the sites may have been posted by students. Students that may no longer be at the school, and therefore would no longer publish a site there.Then again, maybe they've hit the lottery. Let us know what you discover

OpenMinded — Mon, 22 Mar 2004 18:59:38 GMT

Well, what I really meant to say was this... The sites that I've had problems getting on to have nothing to do with the lottery at all. They are sites concerned with subjects that, through my research, I believe to contain a missing link to the lottery. For example, it might be a site from a college math department dealing with T-Numbers or a science department dealing with Ligranges. Off the wall sites, from a lottery chaser's point of view - you know? Just when I find a good one, the site... [ More ]

Just re-reading my post above, the most blatant example of this would be the demise of Maybell's, which I think exhibited each of the three points above. Maybell's was starting to get a lot of traffic, and it still died. Imagine what it's like for a smaller site.

Doubtful. The fact is that a lot of the sites disappear because people who start the sites find out that:It is not profitable to maintain a lottery Web siteIt takes a lot of timeLottery players tend to be very demanding, which can be a little shocking to the uninitiated.

Good Sites Always Page Not Found

OpenMinded — Mon, 22 Mar 2004 17:37:28 GMT

Possibly, I'm the only one in the world who has ever noticed or thought about this. I'm online doing searches for clues to figuring out the lottery. My search returns a list of sites. I scan through them, reading the brief descriptions for each and find one that is definitely going to give me the answer to the puzzle. Nine times out of ten, the site returns, Page Not Found or some other message that the site/link no longer exist. Grrrrrrrr. It's happened so often that I'm beginning to wo... [ More ]
