Because when you restore the files, how are you going to maintain security permissions, how are you going to do the sys c: equivalent, and how are you going to make sure it's bootable?
W2k/XP filesystems are far more complicated than Win95/98.
Even if you stayed with FAT32 on the W2k/XP system, you still have to figure out a method to get around the different method of booting and file layout.
With win95/98, the filesystem is so simple, and the system files are trivial to create, if nothing else, format C:/u/us from a bootdisk gets the disk ready to have the files restored.
The whole point of the central backup server is that I can restore any lost file in about 2 minutes, and restore an entire computer in about 10 minutes, in the event of a complete system failure. Can't do that with Win2000/XP, I have to install 2000/xP on a new disk, reinstall all the apps, and then copy all the data files back from the backup.
If i used the windows backup, I could restore a system back to full operation, but that won't let me dig out individual damaged files without having a windows machine (vmware/wine?) Too much work.
what tools will restore a backup done with Windows 2000/XP under Linux?
Under win95/win98, you can smbtar the entire remote drive into a compressed tarball. To restore, fdisk a new drive, format it, and tar -xjpf tarball.tar.bz2, and possibly sys C: it once it's back in the windows machine. Windows takes care of anything else that needs to be done.
Under Win2000/XP, obviously this won't work, so you need to use Windows's backup or other tools. But if you want to restore a file that a user deleted, you need to find a windows machine(difficult if you're not onsite), and restore the file using windows backup.
Under the Win95/98 method, just untar the backup, and copy it back to the client's pc while they continue to work on other things.
Some manufacturers get around that by shipping their printers with only half full "economy" carts, to make you have to run out and buy a new cart soon after buying the printer.

I've seen failure rates of 75% on the modem gateway that my local phone carrier uses for my pager(Bell Canada). As well, sometimes a page will take 5-6 hours to go through.
Yet if you dial my pager number, the pages always go through, although sometimes delayed up to 10 minutes.
Get one off ebay. I've bought two so far at 30 bucks apiece, brand new in the packaging. They're even the official Palm keyboard, not a cheap knockoff.
I just need to get around to registering Afterburner, so i can underclock my Handera 330 down to 10mhz from 33.(The keyboard doesn't work with the shareware version)
Put a bucket under the head, with a spigot drilled into the bottom, run a hose down to the floor, and find a drain point from there.
Technically, the sprinkler head is still active
The sprinklers here are ABOVE the drop ceiling, i have yet to figure out how that's going to do any good for the time it takes to soak through a drop ceiling tile enough to make it collapse.
From the 20 minutes I spent in a training mission being alternately shot at, or throwing grenades at people randomly(oddly enough I only hit enemies), and running around in a maze, doing the same level over and over, I'd say it's a LOT like CS. You die, you respawn at the end of the level, and try it again.
The game was exactly a deathmatch scenario. You run around against other players who are trying to kill you, while your fellow "teammates" shoot at you and the other enemies.
The impression I got is that it'd be much like the game starts out. You qualify for your shooting, you do a little parachute training, etc etc. Then move on to different things, moving your way up or along.
What did the M16A training, the Grenade throwing, and the obstacle course have to do with the next level where you run around just like in Quake 3, killing people over and over? I did wander into the Parachute training, hoping it would lead somewhere else, but I suspect the next part will be parachuting into a zone, and you guessed it, shooting people in a deathmatch. All that was missing was respawning weapons.
More time spent on the phone. Fifth the price per minute now, but only a 20% drop. So people are talking for over four times as much now as before.
$74 / $.56 = 132 minutes a month $61 / $.11 = 554 minutes a month
And hence the problem with coverage, these systems were likely implemented for a "132 minutes a month" usage, not 554 minutes a month, with over double the number of customers. You're effectively putting 8 times as much usage on the network now.
What happens when calls get down to 5 cents a minute? How many more extra people will make more calls for the same money?
In 56 percent of the nation's households, someone now subscribes to wireless phone service, more than double the percentage in 1995.
The average per-minute cost has dropped to 11 cents this year from 56 cents in 1995. For the phone companies that has meant a decline in average revenue per customer to $61 a month, from $74 in 1995.
I wonder if the same would happen if cd's dropped to a fifth the price? You've got double the customers, so you're still making more money just not as much per customer.
A lot of people wouldn't have a cell phone if it still cost 56 cents a minute.
Slashdot Mirror
What year is this T/A? Modern T/A's have one of the lowest C/D's out there!
There are neon's running 12's all-motor(still the 2.0 in it)
As well.

There's a Reliant(k-car) running 10.41, with a turbo.
Indeed, two 20g's on my desk, just had to adjust the focus after taking the back off.
Desk is slightly bent in the middle now.
Trivia: Newegg is in Industry as well
Using a pair of 8 year old ViewSonic 20G's on my workstation at the office. Had to take the back off, and adjust the horizontal and vertical focus.
Good as new.
Or just eat the coffee beans.
As well, there are no salary requirements on the L1's. You can hire someone at minimum wage to replace your regular worker.

On topic, but adrift at sea a bit:

And oddly enough, McDonalds stores were designed to get people to leave as soon as they could
Odd colour schemes, uncomfortable chairs, etc.
Monitors still burn in. I have two at the office that permamently display the application they've been running for the last couple years.
Not released yet.
I've seen prices triple on travelocity.ca for cars, I've given up on trying to book anything through them.
Both parsec and hunt the wumpus ran too fast on the emulators I tried :/

SVGA, oddly enough.
Used to work properly, and then over the last 6 months or so has steadily degraded.

Indeed, that's what I have.
TAP would be the modem gateway I'm talking about, right? qpage dials into it(2400 baud, whoo), and sends via that.
There's a minimum minute or two wait no matter how I send a page. I doubt they're overloaded in my area.

From the article:
What steps could I follow to prevent the control from being silently re-introduced onto my system?
The simplest way is to make sure you have no trusted publishers, including Microsoft.

I was just playing that thing actually, downloaded it yesterday and started tonight.
What a disappointment. I've seen this game before, it's called Counterstrike.
No single player levels that I found, and tiny levels that play just like CS.
Sure.
