Run, yes, if you mean being able to boot up. Run usably is another matter*.
Plus, Win95 standard install is less than 100 mb. Win98 is roughly double that, if I remember correctly.
*On my 486DX33 with 4 Mb (or maybe 8 by then; I don't remember) of RAM I was able to run Photoshop 3. Of course, I had to replace Program Manager with it as the shell on a stripped Win3.1 boot, and I couldn't open anything bigger than, say, 640 x 480 pixels, but it did run, technically.
I occasionally run KDE on my P200MMX, and it seems to run pretty decently. I do have 256 mb of RAM in the thing, though. I found that when I had 48 mb of RAM in the machine, it ran really, really slow, but now it's actually pretty decent.
So make sure you have a lot of RAM.
Oh yeah, I'm also running it entirely over the network using an X-server on my P200 winNT machine (yes, I'm still using all old tech:P)
I haven't used XP for any extended period of time, so I can't vouch for it's stability, but as far as I know, even Win95 is fairly stable...for the first couple of months. It's only after about a year of use (as well as installing and uninstalling software) that it starts to BSOD with more frequency, and it starts to drop in responsiveness.
It's been fairly obvious from the beginning that the record labels don't give a rats ass about Napster. In fact, I'm sure they'll be far happier once they're gone, which is what they wanted in the first place.
IMHO, they've only dragged it out this long to keep their public image up--so they aren't perceived as Ogres.

I assume you mean free information.
the 'net is great for finding stuff of a technical nature, or general information, or subject matter of global appeal.
but try searching for information on, say, a local business (not computer related) in a small town, or information on an individual, and you'll have a hell of a time digging up stuff.
If you're doing research and need detailed information, nine times out of ten, you're better off finding it at a library.
One thing I've been looking for for a long while is the tune that they played on the Tom and Jerry cartoon when they watched the animated schematic diagram of the needlessly complex mouse-trap. I can't seem to find any reference to that piece, and since I'm not particularly familiar with that genre of music, I'm not sure it it was an original or whether it was an older piece of music. Maybe somebody knows?:)
Am I the only one that finds it mildly ironic that the profiled Japanese are mostly individuals, whereas the majority of the Americans/Brits profiled are companies?
So you're saying Scooby-Doo doesn't reflect a subset of American culture?
Perhaps it's not a complete reflection of the society in which it was produced but, after watching enough cartoons, a reasonably observant person would get the gist of what cutural values appeal to the audience from that particular country.
Do we read books because we like the feel of the paper? Because we like the endless monotony of flipping pages?
As far as most people are concerned, those are irrelevant. They read to extract the information encoded within the pages of the book.
So does it really matter whether we read from dead trees or in some digital format? Granted, current digital technology isn't really comparable to reading off paper, but once the technology is in place, what we read from will be practically irrelevant.
In my not so humble opinion, it's not so much a matter of fear of cloning itself as it is a fear of a change in values. Clones aren't going to up and take over the world. However, what will happen to human rights? If we can produce humans in factories, what happens to the perceptual value of people we currently have?
I always wanted Optimus Prime when I was a kid. I couldn't afford to buy it so I built it out of Lego. With a trailer-truck that opened up and everything!
Too bad; $10K can buy a lot of crap (booze, among other things;). *sigh*
I have a GoType for my Palm3 and I find that the Stowaway (which I've used) is much more like the standard PC keyboard than the GoType.
As mentioned in the article, the keys on the GoType are a tad small to type comfortably. In addition, the keys don't have as much 'spring', and I find I have to keep an eye on the screen to make sure my typing has gone through.
For long documents, it's still quite a bit better than grafitti (which is convenient, but frustratingly inaccurate, given the way I'm used to writing).
Does an MP3 inherently have any value associated with it in the same way a ten dollar bill does?
IMHO, i think it's more like making a copy of the designer shirt your friend just bought out of your own materials. And wearing it (i.e. not selling it again).
Have you seen their ads? They've always targetted children. Children drag their parents to McD's. When they grow up, they take their kids there.
Children don't care about all this corporate stuff. And neither do most parents who just want to shut their kids up ("Can we go McDonalds? Can we go to McDonalds?...[repeat]...")
The most cynical ones are the ones they don't advertise to.
Since we've gone beyond computers, I'd have to say the greatest hack of all time is life as we know it. Think of the sheer mind boggling number of things that must have happened at the same time and in exactly the right way for life to first develop from a few amino acids. Too nobody was around to document it!

Exactly. So what does porn have to do with all this, and why is it at E3?
publicize it on Slashdot! That'll show 'em.

It's better that there's such a diversity of interest.
