I gave up buying consumer PC mags as they didn't tell me anything that I hadn't already found out at least 6 weeks before. I still read some of the weekly trade magazines though, mainly because I get them free at work.
Other than that, the only ones I buy are related to mountain bikes, or occasionally hi-fi kit.
2) Something to keep the rain and road dirt from putting a big skunk stripe up our backs when riding in wet climates. There are fenders, but they don't work well.
Get better ones then, mine work fine.
3) The ability to fold the frame so that it can fit in the back of a small car or on the bus
Thats called a folding bike, there are loads of them around.
4) Brakes that work in the rain.
Get disc or hub brakes. Problem solved.
In fact, I HATE bicycle helmets.
I find that people who refuse to wear helmets aren't generally worth keeping alive, call it a form of natural selection.
It's not a "drop-in" replacement for Exchange, it's a "pay us $999 plus expenses if you have an old setup, otherwise ask us for a quote" replacement for Exchange.
It's not even cheap. I know I can get good pricing from Microsoft due the area in which I work (Healthcare), but this is considerably more expensive, probably twice the cost for just the base server application.
They did film all three films at once. This doesn't mean that all three are ready to release though. There is more to making a film than just the filming.
They still need to sort out all the FX and editing and final tweaking and generally do all the stuff that takes place in post production.

Not wishing to defend Windows too much but....
- double-clicking a taskbar icon will iconify that application. great for getting stuff out of your way.
Single-clicking does that in W2k, which admittedly can be a real pain at times.
- right-clicking a taskbar icon gives you a menu which includes 'iconify other windows',
right-clicking a spare bit of taskbar offers a "Minimise all windows" in W2k (and probably others)
- Alt-F2 brings up a little input field which I can use to start an app quicker than using the menus. It keeps a history too, so I can cycle through previous commands.
Winkey+R does that in W2k and NT (and probably others).
I have no interest in flashy wallpapers or logging out very often so the other bits don't bother me particularly.
I like KDE but still use W2K for most of my real work.
CURRENT is available via CVS or by downloading a snapshot, you can't (normally) get it on CD and you actually have to go looking for it so you can't install it by mistake.
STABLE gets mostly bugfixes, RELEASE gets bugfixes and some new development, and CURRENT gets wild and crazy stuff?
Sort of true.
CURRENT is where all the major development goes on, think of it as a permanent beta test. It usually complies and works, but not always.
STABLE gets some new features back-ported from CURRENT, plus bugfixes and other enhancements.
Periodially STABLE is frozen for a short period, and is released as a RELEASE version, therefore think of RELEASE as a snapshot of STABLE at a particular period in time, with effort made to ensure that it's a worthwhile release point.
Currently 5 is CURRENT, and STABLE sort of encompasses 4.0 and 3.5 depending upon your point of view. 4.0 was generally reckoned to be more stable than 3.4 and hence was adopted slightly quicker than normal.
4.1 will most likely be the official STABLE version when it is released.
You can install 98 and NT withou resorting to installing DOS first.
You can either install by booting from the CD if your hardware supports it, or they both provide boot diskettes (1 for 98, 3 for NT) which load enough of an OS to talk to the CD, although this might not be true for all SCSI CD's.
You are not installing comparable products. Of course you are going to have problems installing an upgrade version of 98 without having a previous operating system.
You need to compare installing Linux and a full version of 98 to get any worthwhile results. Until you do, any results you may draw are worthless.
Have you ever tried to install Windows from scratch on a computer -snip- It's a royal pain in the ass. -snip-
Not any more.
I installed Win98 last week on a machine I'd built for a friend from spare parts.
I stuck the CD in, booted the machine, answered a few simple questions (disk formatting, which components etc) and went off to read my email. When I came back it was finished. Totally idiot proof.
Even my father managed to install 98 a little while ago on a new machine (home built, hence no pre-installed OS)
NT is reasonalby easy to install provided the boot disks (or CD) contain drivers for your SCSI/RAID adapters, if they don't (as with new Dell & HP servers) it's a little more complicated, but I still managed to install NT on a new server within 20 minutes last week.

It's always been IE only.
I can't remember how the pros attach their numbers in big races
They tend to be self-adhesive. You can see this when someone retires and they have their numbers removed from their jersey.

Actually I think you'll find that it fits the defintion of Trojan Horse perfectly.
You've probably already installed it, just look for KB835732 in your list of installed updates.
If you limit yourself to only archiving the useful parts of the interweb, you should be able to fit it all on floppy disk or two.
Same way you do with a normal bike.

I think I'll give it a miss
rfc-ignorant.org?
The wonderful people who decided to list *.uk because the UK domain registrar doesn't give addresses in their whois output.
All because this violates the "spirit" of RFC954.
Note that it doesn't actually violate the RFC, just the "spirit" of the RFC. Useless feckers.
Although to be fair, I don't want to actually deal with any sites stupid enough to want to reject my mail because of this.

No it wasn't.
It was a dual-cpu capable machine (as all E60's are) but only contained one CPU hence it wan't a mutil-threaded stack issue.

You mean this hasn't happened already? :-)
It's pretty easy to install, but not having installed Linux for several years, I can't give a comparisom.
>I wonder why people still use the console too.
Why use fancy graphics on a server? Neither of my BSD machines have X installed.
Why shouldn't it cover important BSD issues?
BSD and Linux are very alike, they both set out to achieve the same goals (free, reliable Unix environment) and shouldn't be seen as competitors.
Ignoring BSD isn't going to make it go away, and maybe Linux people could learn things from the BSD crowd (and vice versa).

You can install 98 by booting from the CD. I did this quite successfully on a machine last week which had a virgin harddisk.
Strangely it wouldn't boot my FreeBSD 3.2 CD.
