Indeed. Here's to the common-law system; at least it has/somewhat/ better protection for the little guy versus Roman-style civil "it only counts if it's written down by the legislature and you're guilty unless you prove otherwise" law. And you can always have a judge say that the legislature are wankers.
That, in fact, was one of Bush's alleged selling points in 2000. They forgot the key ingredient: a leader who doesn't have his head up his arse and can recognize good advice.
Hypothetically if things came to that, a smart army commander would hit the city with artillery and airstrikes, and then lay siege until it surrendered. He'd need a large army himself to resist the citizens sallying forth (and any relief effort), though he'd have the advantage of more automatic weapons and presumably having time to build/some/ fortifications.
Stalingrad was a big fat lesson to not engage in major fighting in a ruined city.
That works quite well indeed. I've got a DVD I made for all of my XP installs that includes all of the driver packs and SP3; it takes about 1GB.
Eventually RyanVM will probably release another pack that includes updates since SP3, as he does with post-SP2 releases. I made one just before SP3 came out, with the RyanVM updates & driverpacks, & it worked well.
Yes. My Unicomp is/slightly/ lighter than a real IBM or Lexmark M, but it's still usable for melee combat and blocking lighter/slower bullets. There's a steel plate in the base.
Wrong. I use an original 1988 Model M at home and a Unicomp Customizer at work, and I do type approx 10 WPM faster on a buckling-spring board versus a membrane board.
Yes, the DOJ brought suit after 95 was released & just before 98; IIRC it would have been about the time of 95c and IE4, which tried to integrate more tightly with the OS.
The next version of Windows will be a big turning point. No it won't. It's been announced that it'll be essentially Vista 1.1, a point release much as Windows 98 was, or XP was.
Maybe it'll fix the biggest problems. Maybe it'll be the best thing since XP SP2. But I won't hold my breath.
Indeed. Back in the day I'd run everything from MS-DOS and let the family suffer with Windows 3.1. The command line was actually/easier/ for me, who learned on an Apple//c.
Not to mention our PC had only 4MB of RAM back then, so Doom, Duke3D, Descent, Aces of the Pacific, and so on wouldn't run too well or at all with Windows, and with as crappy as 3.1's serial driver was, going on the local BBS was faster & more reliable using Telix inside DOS.
95 wasn't quite what it was hyped to be, but it was still a major improvement.
3.1 was far more unstable than 95 was. Did you even/use/ 3.1? General Protection Faults if you looked at it cross-eyed or multi-tasked certain programs or ran the modem at "high" speed.
For most purposes, 3.1 was an abomination. Its great achievement was to be more user-friendly than MS-DOS, though its UI was poorly thought out.

Here, have a tampon.
You didn't say that you did and just complained about the secretary, which implied that the lot of you did nothing.
Timothy's talking about his penis.
The lot of you were equally responsible for never saying anything to the dumbass secretary or her boss.
Meteorites, micro- and otherwise. They will kick up dust, and if the mirrors have any electric charge, the dust may be attracted as well.
Ayuh. I'm /not/ flying now. It was really close to the edge once the liquids rule started, but now... no.

Gay pornography, perchance?
The Smoke Ring was the first thing I thought of as well.
elinks is better. It's enhanced.
ISTR there was some sort of extremely durable coating that mitigated this, and that it was used on HD-DVDs but not Blu-Ray.
Not a very good cite, since you're 1) quoting yourself, and 2) you got some of the facts wrong.
Ubuntu JeOS isn't bad for customizing, and neither is Debian Netinst.

isn't the main reason for Safari being on Windows is so that developers can test web pages for iPhone compatibility?
OTOH, there's the whole thing with Apple Update on Windows pushing Safari at you, so that must no longer be true.

NT4's interface was shit, and it took several service packs to get stable and secure enough.
