    Actually they also explain in the article that the formation of gas as the products of the detonation also enhance the explosion, as a larger volume of hot gas escaping the small initial blast is what is so destructive (the gas escaping the blast has the density of steel) so slapping nitro groups on the carbon skeleton enables the formation of N2. The ring strain is really just an avenue for dinky organic chemical substitution reactions, not blowing up school busses full of infidel's children...

    Actually if you investigated the history of IE and how Micros~1 hides product updates inside other less attractive software packages, you would realize exactly what I'm describing. If you had a version of Windows 95 4.00.950 or 4.00.950a, it did not support FAT32. If you installed IE4 on it, it asked if you wanted large drive support. Hell yes most people said. This is where they beta tested thier FAT16-FAT32 converter, way back then. It is this botched install that created the destroyed partitions. LOL IE4 repartitioning hard disks? YES.

    As for burning down the house, well I may set your house on fire in order to get that filthy IE5 out of your system.

    Ha Ha see what you posted is off thier web site, its a mix of what they like to call "minimum requirements" and "recommended requirements". Check this out off my pirated copy of win2k "pro" final (no im not running it as an OS)

    ------------------------------------------------ ----------------------
    Meeting Hardware Requirements
    ------------------------------------------------ ----------------------

    Before you install Windows 2000, make sure your computer meets the
    following minimum hardware requirements:

    * 133 MHz Pentium or higher microprocessor (or equivalent).
    Windows 2000 Professional supports up to two processors
    on a single computer.
    * 64 megabytes (MB) of RAM recommended minimum.
    32 MB of RAM is the minimum supported. 4 gigabytes (GB) of
    RAM is the maximum.
    * A 2 GB hard disk with 650 MB of free space.
    If you're installing over a network, more free hard disk
    space is required.
    * VGA or higher resolution monitor.
    * Keyboard.
    * Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device (optional).


    See the part about minimum ram amount supported! hahahahahaha

  8. Re:It's "Window Manager", not "Windows Manager" on Linux is Window Manager's Product of the Year · · Score: 1

    They are NOT talking about a window manager for the X Windowing System. The guy's job or the magazine or whatever his suit-job is, is what they are talking about. There is a link in the little blurb for a reason. This amazing hyperlink will take you to the article, which you can read first, then post comments on it in the slashdot forum.

    The Window Manager 1999 Product of the Year is Linux.

    "Why," you might ask, "would a known Windows sympathizer give an award to a product that competes with Windows NT?"

    Linux wins because it's challenging Microsoft's No. 1 server software position.

    OpenBSD notes on the Canadian Export Control List
    Here is a link to where Marc Plumb has drawn some general conclusions about exporting crypto from Canada
    It appears that crypto that is public domain has absolutely no restriction as far as the Canadian Government is concerned, but if it originated from the USA, then it has to be approved, and if its not public domain (free) then a permit must be acquired. Interesting to see that the US gov has charged people for exporting crypto from Canada. (Canadian and american?)

    I had to diagnose and fix a hosed IE4 install. It seemed that IE4 had repartitioned the users hard disk, and crashed in the middle of it, leaving 2 non-dos partitions that were unreadable, and unrecoverable. Fuck IE. With trojans like that, imagine what it would do to a linux system.

  21. Re:Communist linux? on China Banning Win2k · · Score: 1

    The thing is that you NT puppets have a different definition for "uptime". From my observations, a Linux uptime is how long a box can go powered on, on the same kernel, not being rebooted ever, for any reason. NT uptime is how long it goes without crashing (ie: bluescreen), and this does not count for preventative reboots, and service pack applications, and network setting changes. So this guy may actually be right, his NT hasnt crashed for 4 years, but every morning it gets rebooted.
