There's no need to wait for M$ to change the code. Simply head to here for information on changing the colors (at my last job I chose red lettering on a black background).
At my former employer, Microsoft Outbreak (tm) is NOT used for email, so they're not quite as vulnerable to virii as the typical workplace.
We spent much more time dealing with Windows-related problems (with 80 users, wipe and reinstall Win9x on 2-3 machines per month) than we did with viruses. So I'd like to see a study on the labor costs of using Windows - it might dwarf the cost of virus infections.
(Best Buy is really good about not having your particluar rebate card in the store)
While I shy away from rebates in general, due to all the problems mentioned by others, I must say that at least the local (Denver) Best Buy stores print out a rebate form AND an extra receipt.
Prophet's comments were accurate before Best Buy adopted this practice.
"Either switch distributions, or downgrade to Redhat 6.2"
Or find some old machine, install Red Hat 6.2, and compile it there, then copy it to your RH7 system.
That's what I did (actually, I just had a system available which hadn't been upgraded to 7.0 yet) after trying the "kgcc" hack in the makefile, and getting lockup #1 (even RESET wouldn't bring it back to life - I had to turn it off) upon loading es1371, and lockup #2 (after disabling the sound module load) some time during the "linuxconf hooks" stage.
But now it _does_ seem to be working nicely, and I'm looking forward to testing its USB capabilities.
Specifically, the story "Teardrop Falls" in the collaborative book "Berserker Base".

Actually, that's a paraphrase of a famous Winston Churchill quote (uttered after he was criticized for ending a sentence with a preposition). For details, check this.
Promise Keepers sure do a great job of keeping all that "amazingly covered up" - I've been to 3 PK rallies, and I've NEVER heard examples of mysoginy.
OTOH, I've heard plenty of "listen to your wife's advice - she probably knows people better than you do" and "your relationship with your family is more important than your success at work".
Nevertheless, I'm _sure_ you're right, and all that nasty stuff is hidden in there. Oh, if only I could ferret it out...
You and Jennifer are going on that date tonight in your new pickup truck, and your (now much thinner) mom approves! Your dad is no longer a wimp, and just celebrated the printing of his first science fiction novel. Biff is now a craven coward, and works for your Dad. Doc isn't dead!
There is a pretty consistant and simple rule for Star Trek movies. Odd numbered ones suck and even ones are good.
This, of course, is to balance out NT service packs, where the even-numbered releases are crap, and the odd-numbered ones are good (well, as good as NT gets, anyway).
My biggest problem with "Galaxy Quest" was that the audience laughed so loud that I missed quite a few follow-up lines. I can't be harsh on them, though - I was laughing that hard, too.
I'm normally kinda cheap - seeing movies just once in first-run theaters, then waiting for cheaper venues ($1.75 theaters, videotape, etc.), so I can save up for that next motherboard or hard drive. But I'll be going to see "GQ" again tonight at a first-run theater - that's how good I thought it was.
massive code-generating AI-based assemblers will take a couple of strings from the user and use codebases on the net plus its own AI code-generation routines to make a whole program...
Ummm... people have been saying that for years (just ask this geezer who read Byte for 20 years). It hasn't happened, and I suspect it's not likely to happen.
What did happen? People found new fields to conquer - for example, few people write database programs any more, but there is a real demand for people who know how to massage a database to get useful information from it.
People will always be finding new things for computers to do, and those new things will require people who can translate those new concepts and actions into a format the computer can understand
. And even if certain types of programming (assembler, for example) lose their marketability, there will always be other ways for computer-savvy people to make a good living (network setup and firewall admin, anyone?)
after all, on your Pentium-XXV 6000Mhz your business apps are going to FLY so there's no need for real optimization work to be done
That's the sort of thing Carl Helmers said about the Sage computer (68000 based) 15 years ago - it was so fast that it didn't matter that big chunks of its OS were written in Pascal.
Today's processors (like the dual 433 Celerons in my latest work computer) are over 1000 times as fast (in MIPS) as the lowly 1.77 MHz Z-80 which ran my first TRS-80 - but my work computer takes longer to boot up than the Trash-80 did (fortunately, boot episodes are few and far between when one runs Linux).
And Word (on my other work computer) is certainly slower at screen refreshes than Electric Pencil was. Hmmm... perhaps Microsoft, too, believes that "there's no need for real optimization work to be done"?
This is just another publicity stunt by the Feds to make people feel good about "our government".
C'mon - 300K won't go very far toward their goal, but it earns the current occupants of the Justice Department (and, of course, their boss (the Molester-in-Chief)) a lot of good publicity at others' expense.
That surely makes it worthwhile for them, though it won't do the rest of us any good.

That was the Mann Theater chain's policy during early '99, when people were coming _just_ to see "Phantom Menace" trailers.

Right, Anne Marie?
He's not on the ballot in most states, so your omission is excusable.
Oops - 63 69 72 75 6D 76 65 6E 74 69 6F 6E should be spelled 63 69 72 63 75 6D 76 65 6E 74 69 6F 6E.
Or (thanks to ESR) you can try this.

And any moment now we can expect them to destroy Earth to build a hyperspatial bypass.
Wrong title: I believe he meant The King And I.
The Internet Movie Database is always ready to help you out with those obscure references. According to this, Gwendoline was played by Tawny Kitaen.
What a great idea - no one will expect that!
A search for "Small Business Server Upgrade" and "Joyce Park" revealed the source with the first hit. Try this out.

After all, Clinton dropped his suit (at least, the lower half of it) first.

> spreading their own version of FUD back at Microsoft?
Perhaps because Red Hat is too busy DOING neat stuff to waste time spreading FUD?
To quote Captain Gideon of the late, lamented "Crusade": "The truth can take care of itself".

I think the biggest laugh I got came when I learned that ZDNet was treating it as a serious news story.
