How many of these rights that haven't been infringed on in the past 12 months?
I've had mine for about 4 months and I still love it. I'm using the crow rom which runs from the SD card instead of a ramdisk. Resume is a bit pokey, 5 seconds or so before you can actually do anything with it. Stable as hell, there's been a couple of times when it's gone wonky. Haven't found a really usable compiler tool chain for it, and haven't gotten a cross-compiler setup on one of my other systems yet. I've got apache, php, and mysql running nicely, though without the options I would have chosen if compiling them myself. Battery life could definately be better, about an hour of hard use with wireless, 4 hours taking care not to drain it too fast, off and on usage for me goes about a week without charging. So far all the browsers I've tried are adaquate for occasional usage, but run into problems with anything complex. All in all, it feels like the ultimate evil genius tool. Tend to giggle when bringing up a mysql prompt on a text console with the realiazation that everything is running local.
The Windows TPC benchmark was on last years hardware (IBM xSeries 370, released last year).
The Oracle TPC benchmark is on next years hardware (HP ProLiant DL580R - not available till May 2003).
Err... are you talking about the TPC benchmarks refered to in the links? Both were run on 8 ProLiant DL580's with a total of 32 Xeon 900s. The Linux setup is marked in the full disclosure as being available March 5 2003, Hardware available now.

Q: I have a working, hardware accelerated OpenGL setup, but when I try
to run the game, I get a message on the console and in my logs that
says something like "OpenGL renderer relies on DXTC/S3TC support".
A: Your drivers do not support the "GL_EXT_texture_compression_s3tc"
extension. This is needed to play the game. THIS IS NOT A UT2003
BUG. Currently, the only working drivers we are aware of that
support this extension on Linux are the official Nvidia binary-only
drivers. We are currently exploring options with other driver
vendors, and we are willing to cooperate with any driver vendor that
wants to support ut2003. The bottom line, however, is this: if you
want to play the game right now, you should pop an Nvidia card into
your machine.
Guess I'll have to get up off my ass and use the desktop.
I've got OSX running (well, limping) on an 8500/120 without a g3 upgrade using Xpostfacto. Extremely stable, and feels like it needs ram more than a cpu bump.
Just tried deleting \program files\windows media player. File protection kicked in.
'Files that are required for Windows to run properly have been replace by unrecognized versions. To maintain system stability, Windows must restore the original versions of these files.'
Thank you. Basicaly just remove 'HIDE' from the appropriate entries in \winnt\inf\sysoc.inf. Unfortunately I just tried it and it doesn't seem to do anything but give a check box to uncheck. After unchecking, I did a reboot, and lo and behold start-> programs-> accessories-> entertainment-> media player still exists, runs, and shows the same version (6.4.09.1117). Checked under add/remove windows components, and media player is unchecked. Next trick is to delete \program files\windows media player\ by hand and hope file protection doesn't kick in.
Still doesn't change the annoyance that Microsoft is changeing the EULA for Windows 2000 2 years after the fact, by inserting the changes in a critical security update. <quote> To the extent that any terms in this Supplemental EULA conflict with terms in the applicable OS Product EULA, the terms of this Supplemental EULA control solely with respect to the OS Components. </quote>
On Windows 2000, SP2, SRP1, +assorted hotfixes, WiMP is indeed _not_ there, neither under windows components, nor under currently installed programs. Media Player 6.4 very much is still under start->programs->accessories->entertainme nt.
Has any body else actually read the EULA that comes
with the media player 6.4 patch?

Security update? Who's security are they protecting? There is no option to uninstall media player. Your choices (if you wish to continue using Windows) are

If I remember correctly, IBM's older AS/400s have a simillar 'feature'.
