What the hell is it with all these stupid Soviet Russia, Capitalist America shite comments in the past week or so? Christ, they're worse than the goatse.cx trolls now!
Admittedly, I'm an avid KDE user, but I have to point out that multiple desktops were definitely available in WinXP, as well as Windows 2000 if memory serves me right.
I _think_ it was a well hidden executable in Win2k that allowed it to happen, like vdm.exe or something. When you ran it,you suddenly got a little desktop selector in your taskbar...
How cute...:-p
how do you think that request is going to get through, from that windows box?
It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out how to either block requests for a specific domain, or string matching on iptables...
Bollocks it does! I'm fed up hearing this negative view of warchalking coming from people who don't have a clue. I have a warchalk symbol outside my house to denote that I give free net access, not that I have 'an insecure network.' Warchalking is about telling others what is available, and it doesn't imply that the network is insecure or illegal in any way.
No wonder warchalking is getting so much bad press these days. Next I'll be having the Police at my door, arresting me for being a hacker on my own network and telling others about the free net access I've found.
Explain your reasoning a bit more clearly. Which fan shatters? The cooling fan, or the 'turbo' fan? And if it's the turbo fan that supposedly shatters, I find that highly unlikely - since, as you say, they can't shove air fast enough and will subsequently just starve the engine of oxygen and degrade performance rather than breaking up.
Care to elaborate please?

Clearly you've never visited here, as you'll see that most people sport a healthy tan if they've been outside for any length of time. And, incidentally, we do have flouride. Not only is it in our toothpaste, but we also have the stuff piped to us in our water supply.
Get your facts straight before trolling. As for being America's bitch, or a vassal state - take that up with our PM. IIRC he's probably going to be voted out at the next election....
ooooh, ok, I'll stoop to the same level, yet still have the guts to stay logged in as myself.
As an American you are no doubt some fat, ugly overweight child with a penchant for running a machine gun up and down your local school. You'll also be ruled by some half assed dictator hell bent on nuclear war with the middle east. The only bad thing about being British just now is, like the song says, 'Jokers to the left of me, losers to the right'
Now off you go and be a good little boy, and don't listen to what mommy tells you about not talking to strangers...
When you send out data through a NAT machine, although the return IP address is changed, the MAC address within the packet stays the same. This is so the NATting machine looks at the return packet, notices that although it has it's own IP, it has a different MAC address from it's own, and thus must be forwarded somewhere. This is a bit of an oversimplification, but hopefully you can see how it works.
If an ISP were to start checking MAC address of inbound traffic, then it could fairly easily filter out traffic for 'unregistered' computers. Alternatively, it could have a look at the traffic, realise that although a lot of packets have your IP in them yet they have different destination MAC addresses. On this assumption, they could claim that you are performing address translation for other computers.
Apparently, the KDE3 guys are waiting for GCC3 to be put into the unstable branch before they proceed with KDE3. I have no idea why GCC3 is delayed though:-p
deb http://kde3.geniussystems.net/debian./ deb-src http://kde3.geniussystems.net/debian./ deb http://kde.debian.co.nz/debian./ deb http://kde.ping.uio.no/i386./
Well, come round to my place and you'll find my family & I using Debian and KDE3 as our everyday desktop OS. My parents are computer newbies, and consequently have no problems taking up KDE, as opposed to those who end up addicted to Windows and lack the mental power to make the transition to something just as easy.

Just start kernel 'bf24' at the lilo prompt before the install, and you're off and running on 2.4
What has a higher chance of succeeding? An entire burning building, or a room full of Halon? I know which one I would put my money on.
I should have let you know about my success with Linux and USB about two years ago then...
And if you're tired of dependancy hell, try Debian. I got pissed off with RPMs and switched. I've never looked back.
Give Knoppix a shot and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

I'll pester him even more about it then ;-)

Did I miss a bit?? I hope not
since I don't have the blanking plate for the mounting slot, it's nicer with it in. I use the one in my laptop for making net boot disks though.

One phrase -
Mind over matter.
No worries. They're both fantastic distributions though! :-)
