I am using opera right now on an old computer. It has some key features for me:
1. small download size 3-4 MB without java 2. small memory footprint, nice for old computers 3. built-in email client, again nice for old computers as you don't need to load another program 4. keyboard shortcuts : everything can be binded to any key 5. many useful tools like notes taking etc.
In fact, it has *more* tools than firefox/mozilla .
Pff submitting story from his own blog without a little disclaimer (even without the disclaimer word) but at least a clear link on who you are - well that is lame.
from the ITW: You answer less than 10 questions to set up your email account
ok let's guess: 1. incoming server 2. login 3. pass
(At this point, it should work) 4. email
(Now there's no reason not to send email) 5. name 6. delay between checks/alerts 7. dowload body ? 8. security protocol
It's also the case in Belgium. However, those who don't go to vote are not, in most cases, fined. But there is always the possibility... of being fined and a lot of people prefer avoid it especially as voting is not a terrible task !

I disagree, many computers simply can't be upgraded or they will run so slowly and swap so madly to the hard drive that it will drive the user nuts. Have you ever try to run XP on 64 megs of RAM ?
This is even more true when you consider that you also have to upgrade the applications and that is sometimes enough to put your computer to its limits.
The possible exception is with linux where you can upgrade the kernel only and have the latest drivers on an old machine.
Every time I want to use one of my old floppy disks, I encounter a problem of bad sectors. It's up to the point that when I absolutely need to carry data on FD (old computers with no usb, no CDRW and no internet), I copy it twice on each of two disks.
Is it going to be the same for CD as they get older ? I am considering moving my data archive from CD to hard drives with RAID.

Like others have written in this thread, the articles don't suggest the best solution for solving the problem.
Here's what I did this WE with a similar case:
1. Partition hard drive in two with partition magic 2. save everything from c to d format c 3. install windows 98 4. install antivirus zonealarm and adaware 5. check c et d against virus
It's important to save everything because sometimes, the user doesn't have the driver disks anymore (and in my case, the drivers downloaded from DLINK web site didn't worked !)
I went to see cliffhanger on the big screen with hungarian friends in the summer of that year.
I started to laugh when rocky balboa was trying to climb in the cold. Eventually, I felt on the floor laughing and I couldn't get back because of the pain. When my head passed over the top of he seat in front, I looked at the screen and fall back laughing and crouching. Some people were amused, other were pissed.
Now, I cannot see rambo without laughing. Even Cop Land where he makes a depressive face cannot sadden me.
Wow you made an interesting research on that matter but I'd like to know how you discovered that the phone number is a prepaid one ? And an anonymous one, besides. Just curious.

Wow almost every story from Roland Piquepaille is selected into slashdot.
I think there are two kinds of population or, more precisely, email addresses : those who are on spam lists and those who aren't.
The first receive little or no spam, little is when they give out their email to a corporation that resells it or when their email is discovered through brute force guessing. For that category, spam is one message in a while.
The second have, in some way, published their email on the internet. Their adress has been catched by spammers at some time. They will receive more and more spam as their email "circulate" among spammers. After a few months, it will get to more than 100 messages a day which is more than 1 third of the legitimate messages unless you receive a lot of messages.
So, if you publish your email on the net, don't complain about spam, it's too late.
This story brings the question : Is there a way to scan (the internet) for MACs addresses like scanning ip's. I mean is there a software that does it ?
If you want to try what you describe, go to Germany where many highways are not limited in speed.
A few years ago, I made a trip to the Rhine valley and the last day, we were eating a pizza at 8.15 in a small town near Frankfurt 400 km from home. We made the travel back at a constant 200 km/h and I was in front of my TV at 10.15.
Highways are very secure compared to the other kinds of traffics. A european report (http://www1.oecd.org/publications/e-book/7503013E.PDF page 21) shows that in Germany, 31 percent of the traffic is on highways but ONLY 8 percent of casualties (12 percent of deaths) occur on highways !!! In Germany where you can speed on highway.
If you can put slower trucks on a different network, highways could be even more secure as many awful highways accident involve trucks (no stats on that subject, though)

I don't think your local store has hundreds of thousands CDs. Usually, they stock only novelties and popular artists.
Of course, you can back order through them but then you will have to go twice to the store. Why not buy online then.
The OGO, the OJO, the OKO and the OQO ...
OhGOd !

Yes it was written in java by sun to demonstrate the use of java at the beginning. I think it was in 1996.
Given the fact that almost no one used it when it was released, I doubt it still runs on someone computer at this time.

is a collaborative spam filtering solution:
Protect you, your friends, and family
Every time you block a spam message that slips through, your vote benefits the entire community.
A bit expensive though : 40 dolls per year.

thank you, I will try this ASAP, which means when I will need floppies, which means not so soon :)

I suggest that this case be brought to European court of human rights after an appeal.
This case involves free speech which is a case for a human rights trial.
That is called freedom.
The m$ document is in PDF format that is not supported by office ! OO can save document in PDF.
