It's great for things that are difficult to say out loud. Say you're on the phone with a co-worker, trying to diagnose a problem with a web site. You can send URLs to try, SQL code, diagnostic output, etc. back and forth without really interrupting the conversation. Plus if you've got NetMeeting you can share up your text editor / browser and be shure you're both looking at exactly the same thing.
Windows DLLs do have versions. That's what the Class ID is for. When you break binary compatability, you generate a new ClassID.
Take, as an example, msado.dll. You want to use the Recordset object. We'll assume there are two versions. Your registry will look something like this:
(This is from memory, I don't have a win machine in front of me)
The upshot of this is that if you use static binding, i.e. you point your compiler at the DLL, the ClassID of the dependancy is compiled into your program, and you're guarunteed to get that version or later loaded at runtime.
If, on the the other hand you use late binding (CreateObject() in VB) the ClassID is determined at run time by checking the registry. If multiple copies exist, I think you get the one with the newest version string.
In my experience XF86 v4.0.x does not like Voodoo cards. I've tried it with a Diamond Monster Fusion and a 3dfx Voodoo 4 and both had stability issues and leaked memory all over the place. It would crash when playing video, loading a large Star Office file, reading/. in threaded mode, etc. Not only that, but it was overwriting virtual console buffers: Corrupted character maps, inverted video when I hit Ctrl+Alt+F1. Touching the keyboard when in console mode also tended to crash X.
What I never understood is why it would be such a bad thing if the earth got warmer. 65 million years ago, my 8th grade geology class told me, most of the planet was desert/swamp. So what if we quit using fossil fuels and it turns out the planet is going through a natural warming cycle?
Do we start seeding clouds to increase albedo and cool it off? The idea that the climate is a big stable constant is a crock. It's a chaotic system. Right now it is at a local min. that we find very comfortable, but it could jump to a radically different one very quickly.
I have no opinion on the global warming issue one way or the other. I do, however, believe it's best to err on the side of caution and aviod dumping crap into the environment if we can avoid it.
Freenet gaurantees anonymous publication under most circumstances and anonymous retrieval under practically all circumstances. Distributers (i.e. node opperators) are only as safe as the law allows them to be and their ability to afford lawyers to defend themselves holds out. Personally if the RIAA sent a letter to me saying I had to shut down my node or face prosecution, I wouldn't have the resources to defend myself if they chose to prosecute.
While I agree with you in spirit, I don't think it will work that way in practice. Do cops pull over every speeder that goes by them? No, they get the guy doing 90 in a 65. If The RIAA prosecutes the 3% (or whatever) of users who share 1000+ songs, then the rest will be afraid to share anything. It will turn into a bunch of leaches who only share what happens to be in their downloads folder.
We had something called Gatekeeper. It loaded as an extension, so all you had to do was hold down Cmd to turn extensions off and pop Gatekeeper in the trash, reboot, problem solved:-)
NS 4.x plugins work fine with mozilla. Just symlink in the contents of/usr/lib/netscape/plugins to mozilla/plugins and your all set. Works fine for me, anyway.

Just back up you profile directory and delete the folder. Mozilla doesn't really insinuate itself itno your system as far as I can tell. It has worked for me in the past when clearing out old builds and I've never had any problem anyway (Win32 and Linux).
The World Wide Web. Again, same as above. What use would the WWW really be if only the original academics/nerds were into it? If every site on the 'Net was like slashdot.org, how great would that be?
If I remember correctly, when I started using a PC to access the internet, it was in spite of Microsoft, as Windows 3.11 had no TCP stack. Remember Trumpet Winsock? This was before IE, of course. Setup was easy too, our ISP (UltraNet) mailed us a disk, you ran a setup program and you were online. Even my mom could handle it;-)
In France, there was a service called MiniTel that was ubiquitous there before most people had heard of the internet.
So I think that the explosion of information technologies would have happenned regardless of Microsoft's participation. If they had not embraced the internet, some one else (Sun?) would have and swept them aside. And we'd all be using JavaStations or something.
64kb/s doesn't really seem like alot to me, even if it is per socket. My favorite use for my link is to stream MP3s to myself at work. 64kb wouldn't be nearly enough for something like that, though I agree that it is fine for a website that isn't too image heavy.
Before Northpoint tanked, I was getting 768kb/s SDSL from Verio (one of the most pleasant ISPs I've worked with, btw) for $50/mo. Between the MP3s, a large Freenet node, and a modest website, I kept the link nearly saturated 24/7 without a single complaint.
Granted, I was probably costing them more than I was paying, but it was nice while it lasted.
Because yer only 50% sure when you read a 1 if it was really a one. Therefore, when you retransmit the key, you're forced to guess and 25% of the key bits you retransmit will be bogus.
Cheapbytes has the two download ISOs burned onto CD for about $4. I think it's a lot easier to get a couple of CDs for a few of bucks rather than download two 700MB files only to find the checksums don't match...
I'm running Gnome/Enlightenment on mdk-7.1 and I've _never_ had an X or Gnome/E crash. I think these kinds of stability measurements are really tricky because so much depends on your specific hardware setup and distribution.
