Gaming can't be the answer to this fsked up OS from M$FT, most of the games/console emulators I run are dos or best in dos, examples nesticle x.xx is the only emulator I've been able to run NES pirates on, dos doom is worlds faster than doom95 at least on my parents system (HP Pavillion 300Mhz K6-II, 28M SDRAM 4M VRAM)
slightly offtopic comment -- is there a NES emulator that runs "Slient Service" nesticle x.xx and.43 (win32) foobars the map screen and locks.
F3 is the find command for the windows9x shell, if on the desktop it opens the real find tool from the start menu, in IE it opens its own find command box
I am currently waiting on finishing my new system because the P4 and their tahoma MB's are taking so long to appear, they were scheduled as late as January for June release, and now we are being told start of november, Intel is going to miss the x-mas rush, therefore the oem's will miss x-mas and be pissed. I like intel, SSE and MMX beat the pants off of 3Dnow any day for rendering and gaming, I just hate paying the premium for that name and now for my memory (word is no P4 MB's will ship with SDRAM, correct me if I am wrong)
I'll admit that the software in box is great, but I have found that if you find a buddy or LUG with broadband access or someone connected to a local university that can drag a cd-burner into a lab. Download the required software, burn it, bring it home, burn coppies for your buddies, and spread the penguin love across the globe, a cd-r is dirt cheap these days, much less expensive than the box version and you pick the software.
Most automobiles have the same basic user interface: gas on the right; brake, parking brake/emergency brake, and clutch on the left; shifter, climate controls, and radio on the inboard side of the driver; turn signal, lights, and tilt on the outboard side, I would have a dificult time learning a car/truck/bus with most of those features moved, so auto manufacturers keep them in the same general location, at least where we drive on the right side of the road. </end Bill Gates paraphrase> Win 95/mac OS was the major inovation in computing to get the masses and the lusers on the web and on their wintel machines, like it or not, xerox created it, mac stole and implemented it first, and M$FT brought it to the masses, its a good core design, why mess with it unless it will become more intuitive and less taxing on the system. One of my hopes is that when NS 6 finally hits market they will have a "classic" skin that looks like NS 1.0-4.x, otherwise the user market is going to have trouble learning the better browser

And whats even scarriers is they are getting faster, word from macworld expo is that the new G4's will be dual processors with gigabit ethernet on the mainboard, damn!
But you would have to mirror all of the clients data multiple times, to account for power supply failures, those laptops moving on and off of the the network, and meteor hits to your buddies house, its sounds about as gracefull as raid, in software, over a network.... guess I'll have to rewire the place for gigabit.
Upgraded my parents Win 98 SE system this weekend to IE 5.5, MSN Mess 3.0 is a default option on all but the minimal config, I installed it anyways, checks my hotmail instantly.
That's one of the problems with current US stealth aircraft, takeoff and landing, thay have to drop the gear, thus their near zero radar signatures are bumped to readable levels.
Releasing payload creates the same effect, but no current SAM or other air defense system can get a long enough read to lock and track the target.
I suspect that a solution (Ground Based Lasers, kamikaze patrol drones?) are being developed to drop our stealths.
Does this sound like a Star Trek warp drive field generator to anyone else, create a buble of subspace particles and achive the ability travel between different regions of real space at faster than light, but your bubble is constantly being generated and degraded from leading to tailing edge
Another aspect that you failed to mention is a result of the failed 1990 budget bill, where George Bush became nothing but a tax and spend democrat, for his own 30 pieces of silver.
One of the results of that bill was Bush allowed the cuts of the ethanol gas additive research and corn subsidy, loosing the backing of many of his corprate (ADM, Cargil, Monsanto) sponsors. We even had a trial ethanol distillery built in the area around 1988. With that, the petrol industry had to find a solution MTBE, a very nasty chemical it turns out, duh, anyone else that has passed o chem and biochem can tell you that this compond is toxic
Anyways, when MTBE had to be pulled, we were in short supply of ethanol, driving the prices up in a hurry. Thankfully prices are back down in my smog free area, 1.28/gal for regular for any of you passing through Bowling Green KY anytime soon.
True but why would your mom, my grandma, or Hemos' dog pay for a web browser? I love opera, but paying for a web browser just doesn't seem right anymore to the general public.
but sony could, but yet does not offer a competing product. how hard would it be to create PSX on a PCI card, have the user install and gain the same functionality, Sony could sell a ton of VIAO's if the had a PSX2 on the MB or as a PCI board, a USB memory card reader, or a memory stic reader for the consoles.
My understanding that CDE was the commercial unix worlds answer to this, my school's big boxes HP-UX, Solaris that I have acess to use CDE in between them, the sun box has openwin on it which is what I use due to the speed increses. FVWM95 is the default on the Debian boxes in the CS department and I really like it, but I was at console, not trying from the network (I still havent figured out SSH tunneling that well, any hints)
Getting rid of.doc by not using it is the best long-term options. Write your own html 4.x (loose with embeded styles), and you get single file, ascii plain text = minute sizes, just embed your images and sounds.
Even powerpoint could be x(html|ml)ized using smil, inline frames/page refreshes, or MNG very soon
The W3C browser/editor amaya handles this task fairly well, but there is no reason any wysisyg html editor couldn't perform this task.
Praying for the day when NS6/Mozila is fast enough to be usable for this sort of task
P.S. Is anyone else noticing that the combination of Win98SE, IE 5.5b, and checking your hotmail ocasionaly/randomly requires a browser restart to jump to a new site after you are done checking your mail. I think it is related to msn messenger but even if i enter my gaming windows profile (ctrl-alt-del only shows explorer) nothing in systray), the error still occurs
I find it revolting as well, that's why I asked the question. We're just sitting around spitting on the woodstove, there are companies that would kill to get their stock back up to Dec/Jan/Feb/Mar levels, the question raised then is who could possibly be doing this sort of thing
I am not a programer, so I'll pose this question, is it possible to write API's/Hooks that are ignored unless a particular combination of kernels, modules/libraries, and applications, If so, it would seem that my scenario would be modified to include a new library or kernel module that would interact with both the kernel and the application, possibly a module that would not be required to be placed under the GPL... An even more profitable solution as red hat/Debian/Mandrake/SuSE would have no abillity to copy or reverse engineer a similar module.
Senior Executive at Corel: Is there any way make our "premium" distributions, valued at $50-60/box, increase sales and hopefully pull our stock out of this shithole?
Evil Software Engineer: Well we could implement a major release x to x+1 when the 2.4 kernel is released, add a hidden api to speed up wordperfect for linux and don't document it or mention in the changelog. Let C|NET/ZiffDavis/Pick-Your-Favorite-Corporate-Tech- Media-Outlet run a 2.4 kernel roundup with our premium product, we'll smoke the other distros in wordperfect performace and we can increase corporate sales at least as IT managers see this as a great feature/innovation that they can not live without.
So Corel makes a short-term illegitimate gain/pisses off a lot of slashdoters/kicks in the doors to a lot of corporate IT outlets for long-term installation of their fine products and they can play this game forever, until the boys at SuSE, RedHat, or Richard Stalman's Debian Ranch, figure out a way to pull the same stunt with Star Office, forever splintering the linux world into chaos. Wait a second, isn't it already
<Disclaimer> This is not an attack on corel, I run corel linux on my system, it's a good distro, and it provided the best example I could think up for this sort of situation.</disclaimer>
P.S. to those of you who watch ZDTV anyone notice that their support and promotion of Linux Mandrake has increased in the shows since they bought all that advertising
fscking commies, drink Jim Beam or if its payday Makers Mark, smooth Kentucky Bourbon, and the best way to determine the lightweights in a crowd of drinking bullshitters, quick acting but without the nasty side effects of 180+ pure grain.
We'll the US currentely uses cobalt which has the interesting effect of of becoming an emmiter can't remember whether Co-60 is a emmiter IANAPS (I am not a physics student), pretty longlived too.

with the smil standard, svg, and/or you can achive even better effects cross-platform
