There is nothing that says that if you disagree and give up your rights to re-distribute it that the author of the install script has to continue to make it easy for you to install.
Just because the configuration wizard won't continue doesn't mean you can't (legally even) configure it by hand.
My only question is why microdrives? Wouldn't laptop drives be more economical? it's not like he'd save any space, they are the same height, just longer than microdrives.
The standard IDE to laptop IDE adapters are dirt cheap and you get more byte for your buck in laptop drives than in microdrives.

In order to give DVD a kick start they started putting them out for sale and rental at the same time, but once you give people that you can't take it back.
Yes, AC, age CAN have something to do with it but the key words are "commanding respect" age is but one factor of why someone/something might be "commanding respect"
I seriously doubt they'd retain enough clients to stay in business after a 9 day outage.
I'm sure that it's also quite hard on some of the clients. Depending on the business you are in being offline for over a week can be quite a stress on the business. The smart ones will have their own backups and will find another data centre to get them back online, but the odds of them switching back, I think, would be very slim.

2. Worthy of reverence, especially by religious or historical association: venerable relics.

uh huh, Isn't that what I said? It's still a nonsensical statement.
If it didn't sort it, it didn't work, and if it worked, it sorted it. To say it works 50% of the time and in 100% of the times it works it works right is just silliness.
Either it works or it doesn't. Still 50% effectivness is good as an additional layer of spam protection it is certainly welcome.
The method works for only about half of all e-mails received - but in all of those cases, it sorts the mail into the right category.
Am I the only one who read this sentence and said "huh??"
I thought sorting into the right category was THE determining factor of whether a spam filter works.
Of course 100% of the times it worked it sorted into the right category. The only stat that is important is that 50% of the total messages DIDN'T sort into the right category (the 50% that didn't work)
links will format/. a little better, and if you have a framebuffer capable console links -g will get you damn close to waht you'd see in any modern browser. (yes there are still some significant differences in capabilities between links and mozilla, but it's a lot prettier than unformatted text)
I wonder how this will affect future generations. There have been several instances over the years where the studios lost the original film masters and had to resort to using 35mm prints that were sent out to the theaters to restore parts of the film for home video release. (The Wickerman comes to mind as an example) If digital distibution becomes so prevalent that everything is distributed on recycled HDDs or via network I do hope the studios deem it important to keep off-site backups.
In Xfree86 if you set up your dual monitors as seperate "screens" (as opposed to Xinerama mode) you can have a seperate keyboard and mouse for each.
I had mine set up this way (minus the extra mouse and keyboard) with a TV as the second monitor so that only things I specifically sent to:0.1 would display on the TV. (this way my desktop stays on my monitor and I can re-route videos to the TV)
Any geforce2 or better card can do this for sure, probably some earlier cards can too.
Not to mention for video editing Matrox cards are preferred over ATI/NVidia right now because Matrox has decided to cater to that market while ATI/Nvidia fight it out over the gamer market.
If you look in any DV film-making magazine you'll find all kinds of ads for systems built for editing based around Matrox video cards.
If you read the freedesktop.org FAQ, it says that there is no accelerated Nvidia driver for it yet, but Xvesa works for non-accel on Nvidia. ATI Radeon is working at least partly via a new opensource driver.
I've only ever tried OWA on Exchange 2003, but the page is different if you view it in IE you have 2 options, standard and Basic, but in Mozilla it takes you straight to Basic, which as far as I can see is just the same thing presented differently. (no preview pane) I just assumed OWA was doing a browser check and presenting the less interesting version to non-MS browsers. Haven't tried changing my agent string to make it think Mozilla is IE yet.

Funny, most cell phones I've used are pretty standard. You dial the number you want and press the send button, which is either marked with the word "SEND" or a green icon of a handset. This is exactly the same with 99% of all cordless house phones I've seen.
The only tricky part is finding the power on button which is not always so obvious (for example on the Audiovox 8600 you hold the hangup button down for a couple of seconds to turn the phone on.)
Guy to doctor: I have this pain/rash/nausea/whatever Doctor aswers with "Go see your doctor", or takes a quick look and either says she knows what it is right away or says "this is going to require some diagnosis come see me in my office tomorrow" Guy walks away satisfied. (usually)
Guy to Network engineer: I have this problem with program X (which usually has nothing to do with network engineer's expertise) come take a look at it for me. Network Engineer: says not right now, but call my office in the morning Guy goes away disappointed.
----OR---- Network Engineer: says sure and spends next hour or 4 working on something for free. Network Engineer oges home disappointed.
If Guy happens to be Network Engineer's friend this happens weekly or more.
This is the way I see it, but then I guess I have to take into account that seeing a doctor where I come from is free.
Analog != reliable and Digital != oversaturated network. It may seem that way, but it is possible to build a digital phone network that provides power over the phone line and is just as reliable as the analog one and not so oversaturated that the system can't handle the load of everyone making a call at once....it's true no one has done it yet, but that's not because it isn't possible, it's because there hasn't been a demand for it. Believe it or not most people are quite happy with the analog land line.
I think the main difference is people never (or at least I'd think never) ask their doctor friend for free on-going treatment, or their lawyer friend to defend them in court for free, but lots of people expect that level of help from their computer friends.
Don't get me wrong, I sympathize with the doctors and lawyers, but if I got the same types of questions about computers they get about ilnesses and legal advice I'd be much less prone to complaining about it.
I really don't mind answering which motherboard should I buy? or which computer store o you deal with? or what's the difference between Linux and Windows/MacOS? These questions, even the last one, which they rarely expect a long answer to, take very little time and usually spark more interesting converation.
What I don't like is "something's wrong with my computer, it won't talk to my roommate's computer can you fix it for me?". If I say no I llok like a jerk but if I say yes I could be at it for a few seconds or a few days depending on what the problem really is. (99.9% of people I know do not keep backups and have not upgraded or re-installed since the introduction of Windows 95, but they do blindly trust every program they find for free or close to it.

Venerable != old
Venerable = commanding respect
