I did exactly that last year in a Virtual PC VM. ISTR I had to install IE, Win32s, and MS's 16-bit TCP/IP stack to get it all working. The result was surprisingly usable, considering the OS dates from the early '90s. Not to say that it rendered everything well, or that it didn't crash, but it was an interesting exercise in retrocomputing.
It did a lot better than Mosaic 3 on WinXP, which would crash upon loading/any/ website, so far as I could tell.
Isn't it odd how Japanese cars have just a few trim levels and no stand-alone options besides what you can get installed at the dealership? That/is/ very much like how Apple does things.
If you've been on the Internet longer than five minutes, politics is fucking tiresome, mainly because of the zealots who insist on seeing everything through the lens of their politics.
Wrong. The difference between SF and Fantasy is that SF *could* happen - its setting high tech. Fantasy *can't* happen - its setting requires magic of some sort.
Why do some people have to inject their politics into everything?
Used to be true, not any longer. I've updated many drivers from Windows Update over the past three or four years and I think I've only had a problem once, with a Realtek NIC driver.
Prior to that, yes, but MS has really cleaned up its act.
Newer Adobe stuff (at least for Reader) doesn't nag, it just runs the update in the background (once the updater is properly configured to do that instead of nagging) and maybe notifies you.

Are you a birther?
Dunno, but according to iFixit, the latest Macbook Pros have far too much thermal paste gobbed onto the CPU heatsinks. This isn't good for cooling.
Really? IME only the more expensive laptops are getting eSATA yet. It's not like there are a ton of eSATA devices yet anyway.
Dunno about your phone, but my Droid's GPS is /not/ a precision instrument; it's routinely off by dozens of feet.
Cite?

Fuck! The fucking fucker's fucking fucked!
FWIW Florida (especially the Boca Raton area) is a major spam haven.
Yeah, wouldn't it have been /smart/ of Taco to have put up a public beta server for a while before just dumping this new discussion system on us?
I seem to recall that's what they did way back when the old-new discussion system was introduced, even.
It's enough to make a Republican's head spin: HOW ABOUT THOSE JOB-KILLING OIL PLATFORMS?

Eh, lynx will hide the address bar always, until you press "g".
Maybe someone will make a Chrome extension that'll give it lynx keybindings and navigation. I think that'd actually be useful.
So, commodore64_love, why the new account?

Smegma.
That's pretty typical of Oracle's acquisitions, not so?
The Civil Rights Act wasn't a Constitutional amendment, so the previous poster's point stands.
Only when the Democrats run things. They sang quite the different tune during the Bush Administration.
It's not a "point". It's a baseless accusation to keep people afraid, angry, ignorant, and listening to what he has to say.
That was in the time of Saint Reagan, who courted the fundamentalists' votes.
That's just the libertarians, who aren't so far away from Beck's demographic.
Don't know about you, but I was unimpressed with Postal II. Completely aside from the gratuitous violence, it just wasn't a very good game.
