  1. Re:Sorry to troll, but.. on Dismal Console Failures · · Score: 2, Insightful

    something along the lines of 7 different processors, and smp support made its programming a nightmare. (At least that's what I've read when rummaging around for programming docs).

  2. Re:Why is anyone running outlook anymore? on Bugbear Windows Virus Making the Rounds · · Score: 1

    and as dialup I am consistantly getting 48-52kbps (except out in the "sticks", where my parent's copper is rather poor)

  3. Re:Why is anyone running outlook anymore? on Bugbear Windows Virus Making the Rounds · · Score: 1

    I use MSN for the following reasons:

    1) I used to support MSN (I know, gag!) so I know all the ins and outs

    2) It runs surprisingly well in linux (no client needed)

    3) Multiple dialup locations: I can visit all my relatives and still get online with my laptop

    so, hence, they aren't all that bad. :)

    Also, you don't need to use outlook, you can log in through hotmail.com, or don't use their email, just the access.

    I've recently installed mandrake 8.2 and the eula states that some of the sw is licensed differently, i.e. no free distribution (or something along those lines).
