I had so many problems with the old drivers on my -STABLE box. Couldn't run more than one GL app per X session or my whole system would lock up and had to be rebooted. Lots of instability, crashes, and broken apps. Hope this fixes things.
Mtools lets yo do this

From the mtools man page:
Mtools is a public domain collection of tools to allow Unix systems to manipulate MS-DOS files: read, write, and move around files on an MS-DOS filesystem (typically a floppy disk). Where reasonable, each program attempts to emulate the MS-DOS equivalent command. However, unnecessary restrictions and oddities of DOS are not emulated. For instance, it is possible to move subdirectories from one subdirectory to another.
Mtools is sufficient to give access to MS-DOS filesystems. For instance, commands such as mdir a: work on the a: floppy
without any preliminary mounting or initialization (assuming the default/etc/mtools.conf works on your machine). With mtools, one can change floppies too without unmounting and mounting.

I tried Netscape 4.78, Mozilla 0.9.3 (haven't installed the new release yet, figured I'd wait a day or two for things to slow down), and Konqueror 2.2 (within KDE 2.2) on a 900MHz Athlon with 128Mb RAM running FreeBSD.
Netscape took about 10 seconds
Mozilla took a bit over a minute
Konqueror took about 5 minutes, then crashed on page 74.
The newest photograph I saw was 1995... Maybe your photograph was newer? I know Dr Winters has a lot of cooler photographs than were shown on this site.

Maybe the/male/ people. I know plenty of 23 year old females who meet that requirement. You seem to assume that since it's space(science) related, the contestants must be male. (Sorry, I'm taking a class on gender equity in science and I've started noticing this sort of thing). And those requirements are necessary. American space suits are not built to accomodate anyone taller than 6' or shorter than 5', so it's a safety hazard to have people outside the size range.
Every time any mention of 3D file managers, wms, etc. comes up, someone tries to make that joke. We're all pretty smart people here (well, most of us), surely we could come up with some new jokes.
Actually, AFAIK, they're not making any plans to move the network over to redhat. All they've done with it so far is give all the students in the new Honors program (I'm one of the pilot members) a copy of 6.1 (they don't have enough copies of 7.0 for us yet) and told us happy hacking. I think the plan is to let the students tinker with it and help develop it into something very useful. The IT staff here are not idiots. I'm sure they wouldn't use the default install of RH7 on the network. 'Course I could be totally wrong.
Your sig has a quote from Rurouni Kenshin, and you don't even have it on your list? Sorry, just a random observation... I've only been watching anime for a short while, but Kenshin is most definitely my favourite anime! Also recommended (but already listed, guess that'll get me moderated as redundant:P) are Vision of Escaflowne (very stunning, I drool at the quality of the animation, and the music is great!), Neon Genesis Evangelion (I just wish I understood it! I kinda got in on that one about halfway through the series), and Kodomo no Omocha, also known as Child's Toy (this is one of the most spastic and hyper comedies I've ever seen. It's about a 6th-grade actress named Sana and her classmates at school. Unfortunately, they quit subbing it before the series was through because it's damn near impossible to do; everyone talks so fast and at the same time. But it's insane while it lasts!)
kevryn's got a new favorite day!!!! Talk about coolness! (I don't care if it is wrong! I like it!) Actually I write my dates DD-MM-YYYY, but since it is usually accepted as MM-DD-YY in my country (*sob*I admit it, I'm an American! (as if you couldn't tell from my spelling, but let's not get into that.)) I'll take what I can get! 'scuse me, must go edit my user info now... Need to add my new favorite holiday!
Even if we were talking about a gravitational black hole, it would not be particularly dangerous at the sizes we're talking about. What makes a black hole a black hole is not its mass, but its density. Theoretically, if you replaced our sun with a black hole of the same mass, Earth's orbit would remain unchanged, because the gravitational force is still given by Newton's equation F=(G(Msun*Mearth))/a^2 (G is the universal constant of gravitation, a is the semimajor axis of earth's orbit). If we took a bucket of water and compressed it into its Schwarzchild radius (that's how you make a black hole, by the way), which would be a couple millionths of a meter (I don't have time to calculate the actual radius now), at normal distances the gravitational effects of this black hole would be the same as for an ordinary bucket of water. It's only when you get near the event horizon (which is the same as the Schwarzchild radius, btw) that you get those wonky relativistic effects.
Seems some of us are forgetting our high school physics.

My birthday too! Thanks guys! This is quite possibly the coolest birthday gift I've received.

But they don't have air conditioning... (says so on the site). You'd only get it down to outside temperature.
Oh God! That was probably a spoof called "Voltron: Hellbent for Leather"! We watched that at one of me HS's anime fairs last year. F'in hilarious!
