I'd love to see a site dedicated to compiling daily builds of the Chromium source code, maybe through in some forks by private fiddlers, because right now following the instructions from the link requires you to use a non open source tool "gclient" to download about 500MB of source and then compile it using M$ Visual Studio - and then hope it produces a working binary (oh, and have the time for this). So far I couldn't find anyone doing this and putting the binaries online yet - not even using google;)
As already mentioned the gclient tool is open source. Since its written in Python its distributed as source code anyway and the code is under the Apache 2.0 licence. As for 'hope it produced a working binary', I compile Chromium for the first time from SVN yesterday without any hitch whatsoever. And yes, my binaries are online.
No - TextPad does not come in a 'Lite' version. From Helios' website: "There is no charge for the download, but you must pay for the software if you decide to keep it. "

No it isn't. Take a look at the AI in C&C Generals as a case in point - it's all scripted. Half-life 2? - all scripted. Doom III - scripted. Most game AI today is not NNs but scripts.
Windows 98 supports hibernation with FAT16 partitions, Windows Me with FAT32, Windows 2000 with FAT32 and NTFS, Windows XP with FAT32 and NTFS. NTFS is a journalling filesystem, you don't realy need to run scandisk on it.
"Furthermore, what's all this "log off" and "shut down" crap? Why not just let the user turn off the machine the way they turn off a television? After all these years, you would think someone would design an OS that simply stores its data and sleeps upon a signal from the system's off switch. Yeah yeah, you can go out and purchase a Windows program that does something like this, but would you trust it? Even Linux doesn't do this yet."
Windows has had this build in since Windows 98/2000...
AmigaOS used round-robin priority-based pre-emptive multitasking with an exokernel architecture. It was also designed initially for a processor with no concept of privelege levels (or even memory management), the 68000. Those facts meant that the AmigaOS was a real-time OS *if programmed correctly*. On the other hand it was possible for a program to take over the whole machine, turn of multitasking and do its thing with a blatant disregard for other tasks. The responsiveness of AmigaOS actually comes from the fact that the process with the highest priority was the input.device task which was responsible for sending IDCMP (window) messages to other tasks. This task was also capable of giving some visual feedback on buttons, etc. (which was later extended using BOOPSI to allow arbitrary code to be run when a button was pressed, etc.). Hence there was this task that would generally preempt any other task that was running just to give GUI feedback. And *that* is why the Amiga appeared so responsive! Start a task at priority 30 that just runs an empty loop and the machine will appear to have locked up.

I second the Textpad suggestion - it's one of two applications, along with Cygwin, that gets installed on any box I go near. Kate is so buggy it's unfunny so I wouldn't really recommend it when there are better alternatives on Windows. I've never had Textpad crash on me, and it provides all the features you will ever need. It does all this while still maintaining a usable interface that is never too cluttered. I have one (and only one) fault with it and that is that you can't edit binary files. (you can view them as hex though). Given that the program's a text editor anyway, the fact that this is the only issue I have with the program is testament to just how well written it is!
Write to Wal-mart customer services and point out how silly it is to include a WinModem with an OS-less PC. Ask if they will be supplying proper modems with their PCs in future.

I have an ATI Radeon VIVO running under Windows 2000. I found that every now and again the card would lose all OpenGL and Direct3D capabilities. Re-installing the ATI drivers or DirectX didn't help. Nor did the 'repair' option in the Win2K setup program. The only solution I found was a complete re-install. I contacted ATI about this problem and eventually after exchanging a number of e-mails they sent the drivers back for testing. I never heard anything after that. Even now there is a 100% reproducable error with the current drivers trying to play DVDs on a TV. Interestingly I bought the Radeon after realising my PC originally came with an ATI Rage Fury Maxx. This card is touted as 'for gamers only' and for good reason too...The ONLY operating systems it supports are: Windows 98, Windows Me. That's it. No Linux, no Windows 2000. Windows XP has 2d support only which doesn't count. I also had an ATI TV tuner card. It had worse output than the cheap Pinnacle card I also picked up and the picture was always cropped incorrectly. The capture software was next to useless.
Yes - use VMware or similar with a virtual disk which is stored on a an encrypted file system under Linux or Windows 2000/XP. Make sure the key for the encypted FS is on a floppy disk, CD-ROM or similar and hide it very well (preferably not on your premises if you don't mind the inconvenience). Then install Windows 2000 on that virtual disk.
This like on arstechnica has some information on Windows 2000 EFS:
http://www.arstechnica.com/paedia/n/ntfs/ntfs5-3 .h tml
To quote from the above article:
"EFS uses a public key crypto scheme, which uses a public and private key. Encrypting a file will cause EFS to assign that file a randomly generated FEK (file encryption key). The user that encrypts this file does so with their public key, but to decrypt that file requires the usage of their private key to authenticate past the file's randomly generated FEK. DDFs (Data Decryption Fields) and DRFs (Data Recovery Fields) exist as NTFS attributes, storing a list of FEKs. Public and private keys are stored separately from the FEKs. "
but also note this warning on www.sysinternals.com:
"Even when you encrypt files with Win2K's Encrypting File System (EFS), a file's original unencrypted file data is left on the disk after a new encrypted version of the file is created."
I suspect the SDK probably requires the commercial package for the actual implementation. SDK's often just provide bindings and documentation for APIs, not the implementation itself. In other words, the SDK may be useless without the full product.
Funnily enough I actually use smbclient compiled for Cygwin to access my laptop machine under Windows since Windows Printer and File Sharing doesn't get on very well with talking to it. I have to admit I've never tried smbd but doesn't it come in the same package and I don't remember any compile errors.
There is actually a software company in the UK called Microsoft. Microsoft tried to force them to change their name until they pointed out they had actually registered their company name as 'Microsoft' before the Redmond based corporation had. Since then Microsoft have left them pretty much alone - but only because there is absolutely nothing they can do about it. If you register your company name as 'Microsoft' in a country, after Redmond have, then forget it.

Guess they simply used the Harmony Code for this stuff and Harmony does not have the bug in.

Yes it does (target Win32)
Yes they did

Hmm - I wonder where XFree86 puts the video driver... Oh that's right, in kernel space.
