  1. Re:Over-Sensationalized Journalism on White House E-Mail Hidden From Justice Dept. · · Score: 1

    Documents from 1996 should concern you. The past actions of people are a good indication of what they'll do in the future. The Clinton/Gore adminstration has been nothing but lies, coverups, and screwing of this once-great nation. Do you think what they did so much in the past will never happen again? The BEST way to guage how well a person will perform is how they have performed in the past. We MUST not let the clinton/gore admin continue or this will only get worse. Maybe this event has been over-sensationalized, but it had to start somewhere. There must be some truth to it. It's just sad and angering.

  2. Re:Symbolic links? on Microsoft Invents Symbolic Links · · Score: 1

    OK, let's say that a large prortion of your files are stored on a remote server (config files, DLLs, executables, whatever). What happens when the network goes down. If critical files are located on the server, then would you be able to do the most basic computing tasks or even boot your workstation?

    This just doesn't sound like a good thing to have an OS do automatically. SysAdmins should have much more control than any MSOS I've used gives. Am I missing something here?

    Yes, I admit I have never used W2K, but I have used their other OSs and a few *nixes.

  3. Mix and Match? on Interview: FreeDOS Leader Jim Hall Answers · · Score: 1

    I personally love DOS. I've always been partial to command lines rather than GUIs. Even though I'm learning *nix at the moment, I still enjoy using DOS and plan to download FreeDOS as soon as I get off work. I just have one question: I have MS-DOS 6.22. Can I use some of the MS-DOS executables (backup/restore/etc) to substitute missing features of FreeDOS until they are included? Has anyone tried this? The article also mentioned freeware programs that made up for some of FreeDOS's current shortcomings. Does anyone know of a good resource for such programs? I guess that was more than one question. =] I'll let you know if I find any answers.
