Is the 10.6 kernel really i386 or have they done the Right Thing & compiled it for i686? The weakest Intel CPUs they sold were IIRC Core Solos, which are an evolutionary improvement on the i686.
Umm, I've had only one Win7 computer unable to connect to my Debian Lenny fileserver, which runs Samba 3.2.5. Said server is joined to our Server '03 R2 Active Directory. Last time I had that sort of problem was when I was still on Debian 4.0 and Vista SP1 came out, which broke 4.0's copy of Samba (something in the early-mid 3.0 series, IIRC). Upgrading to debian-testing solved it, as much as I disliked not using debian-stable on a server.
Oddly enough, the same guy's Mac can't connect either (even with my credentials), but that's also the only one.
It's a Pentium-90 with 64MB of EDO DRAM. Thing runs Damn Small Linux really well, but it's got rather more RAM than you do. Might be worth a shot if your BIOS supports booting from a CD -- the very last BIOS update for my box enabled that. You'll also need a junker 40x (ish) CD-ROM drive: the 6x drive this thing had originally wouldn't support booting either. I can even run Firefox 2.0 on this; takes 20-30 seconds to start up, and the redraws are slow, but it works a lot better than you'd think. Dillo's pretty decently fast, but OTOH the browser sucks.
Were I you, I would go with an older version of Slackware or Debian. I ran Debian 2.1 on a slightly lesser machine in 1999, and it performed well. That means being stuck on an obsolete Web browser, of course. Deb 2.1 shipped with Netscape 4.5x or 4.6x or something like that. You could probably get away with compiling a recent version of ELinks or Lynx... if those won't work, try doing a static compile on another machine & copy the files over.
I signed up for an account so I could manage what kinds of comments I saw. Mainly so I could -6 anything modded as Funny, because the morons who moderated at that point ('98 or so) really thought those already-tired memes were hilarious.
But also because at that point we were starting to get 100+ comments per story and it was getting hard to read them all.
That would be nice, but then someone might decide not to buy a newer version of Windows because their critical app only works on something ancient like Win98.
Plenty of those anyway, especially in low-volume markets like scientific equipment.
Rejoice though; with 64-bit Windows becoming more popular, crap old 16-bit, non-LFN installers from the mid-'90s will finally be going away.
Also, Macs apparently aren't immune to installer stupidity: Microsoft Office 2008 is fully Universal Binary, except for its installer, which is still PPC-only.
so MS can't threaten to raise their per-license costs for computers. It was never "friendship", especially after the NT-OS/2 split, just a business arrangement.
Not the same, since Jesus was the founder of Christianity (one could make a strong argument for that being Paul, but I digress), much as Mohammed was the founder of Islam, and you'd better believe the more ignorant Christians would like to stone you for insulting Jesus.
If you went to court to get a no-contact order against someone else, why the heck would you add or keep them as your friend on facebook?
Everything status update, every message you post shows up as a communication to all your friends... so you're actually initiating contact with them!
This. Why/was/ the plaintiff still a Facebook friend with the defendant?
The defendant is still somewhat culpable (why, too, was she friended with the other?) but it's not hard to disallow any communication from another Facebook user. I've set my account to deny access to & not be searchable by this idiot who threatened me with meatspace violence because the stupid meathead didn't understand acceptable behavior.
TBH, I thought Scottish customs were about as bad as American. I'm American and visited Glasgow in '06 for my honeymoon, and I compare that against the border crossing at Niagara, NY/Ontario.
Maybe it was that particular Scottish border agent (nearly everyone else in Scotland was *wonderfully* friendly), maybe it's because I'm American, maybe 'cause I didn't have a particular place I'd be staying the whole two weeks, I don't know.

Not to mention a goddamn car analogy.

Come on, were you just waiting for someone to say this so you could post it?
A round of .30-06 is probably a dollar at the most, and even cheaper if you use surplus ammo.
I'm quite certain you could find volunteers to do the work, ones who will provide their own firearms.
I've been getting a lot of Flash crashes on AMD64 Karmic the last couple weeks.
Why am I still seeing this type of story?

Instead of perpetuating a nasty hack, do a proper re-design of dpkg/.deb to support multi-arch.
By default Ubuntu associates .deb files with a simple graphical program (a front-end to aptitude) that will install them for you.
There's also Add/Remove Programs (Ubuntu until 9.10) and whatever the equivalent is now in 9.10.
However, I noticed that Snow Leopard doesn't install Rosetta by default. At least this was so when I updated my work Macbook last week.
Seems a bit silly, since the installer claimed Rosetta took up only about 1.5MB of disk space.
I'm sure many people who work in professional IT have been griping about this to Mozilla for years. It would be such a handy feature, after all.

But it's got a "Web 2.0" social site involved, so it must be New! and Exciting!.
Perhaps I'm blind, but I can't find a download link on that page, just a bunch of wank detailing exactly what's on the semi-mythical ISO.
Where should I be looking?
Got sand in your vagina, sweetie?
Does it take keyboard input? Decent gamepads (like my Saitek P880) come with software that make gamepad buttons emulate keystrokes.
The "dating the boss" one was fascinating to deal with.
Do tell.

Editor is... soulskill.
I'd have supposed kdawson, but the summary didn't have quite enough loaded phrases.
Ah, troll-via-mod.
Or does some idiot think what parent said really was meant to be funny?
