Plus I imagine a Palm/Visor screen is less strain on the eyes than a Pocket PC.
I've got both a PalmPilot IIIx and a Cassiopieia E-115; after using the Pocket PC for a month, I have to say that for the most part, the Palm kicks it's ass for getting real work done. If I can find graffiti for WinCE it may be a bit of a closer race; that popup keyboard is nowhere near as good as graffiti. However, there are a few things I find myself using the Pocket PC for that it is very good at:
The screen is MUCH better than the Pilots. Reading books on it is many times better.
MAME doesn't run on the Pilot. (grin)
I can't help it. I run that one program Microsoft made that is actually any good at all. Solitaire.
But no matter what, it's not a waste. I can't wait to put NetBSD on my E-115.:)
autoexec.bat and config.sys are there only for backwards compatibility. It scans them at boot time and puts their information into the registry and empties them out.
Are you asserting here that anti-aliased text would somehow be stored differently in the clipboard than non-anti-aliased text?
What he's saying is if you do anti-aliased text the "old way" of rendering pixmaps and pushing them out, there's no longer any "text" to be selected in the clipboard. It's just an image.
Actually, the trick to running 2 versions is to install the 16-bit (windows 3.1) version of IE alongside the latest and greatest.
At least, it used to work, I haven't done any heavy web design lately. But at one point, I had IE4, IE3 (16-bit), Opera, Lynx, Netscape 1.1, Netscape 2.02, Netscape 3.0something (whatever the last one was), and Netscape 4.0something installed on the same machine for testing.:)
Another important browser in the development of the web was SlipKnot, that let Windows 3.1 users piggyback on Lynx running through a shell account, in case their ISP didn't provide or charged extra for SLIP/PPP accounts.
Hahah, yeah. My first internet connection was this weird box thing that piggybacked on our phone line at the dorms at Purdue (forget what they're called). It was a 19,200 uncompressed connection that took us right to a terminal, so no PPP.
I used slipknot for a while on it until I figured out how to get slirp working (anyone remember slirp?! Emulated a slip connection over a terminal... I seem to recall seeing that it's still being developed... ahh yeah, here it is.)
Hell, it was worth installing slirp just so you could compress the damn 19,200 connection. Damn, those were the days.
The perl compiler has worked OK on linux for a while now, but just recently with 5.6.0 I was able to get it to work on HP-UX, so they've obviously made some changes.

or, there's DJ In A Box.
:P
The biggest difference is that RPM does not seem to handle dependencies as well.

Nice try. Didn't you know the word "facetious" isn't in the dictionary?

A: "Man, this band sucks!"
The best translation I've heard is "It is a poor worksman who blames his tools.", and I am very fond of that phrase. :)
Oh, sorry, that's C. C++ can't use C, can it?
Yay!
