"Single Instance Store (SIS) Single Instance Store (SIS) is a file system filter driver that conserves disk space by removing multiple copies of a file and replacing them with links to a single shared copy in a common folder. These links differ from hard links in that if one copy of the file is changed, it then "splits off" from the others and becomes a separate file. SIS, which is installed only as part of Windows 2000 Remote Installation Services (RIS), uses two FSCTLs for private communication (FSCTL_SIS_COPYFILE and FSCTL_SIS_LINK_FILES), which your filter driver should allow to pass through unchanged."
I dunno how it "splits off" anything if "one copy" of the file is changed -- I thought there was only one instance of the thing anyway..
It sounds kinda like there *may be* multiple instances of a given file but a link to only one "official" one..

Yes, I know it's currently fashionable to think that we've outgrown the need for cities, but most people who actually study these issues for a living strongly disagree. (I'll supply sources if you're curious.)
I certainly don't think we've (yet..) outgrown the need for cities.
I think the original issue was the quality of interpersonal relationships that is evolving during an period of increased usage of the internet.
In suburbs ("dense" or not) and in cities one is more often than not surrounded by random individuals, most of whom remain strangers.
The internet has allowed a whole new level of interaction to occur that could never take place, before.
Where are you sitting, as (if..) you read this?
I'm near Seattle...
This interaction between you and I (and any other lurkers!) simply could *not* have taken place twenty years ago.
The survey (remember the survey?) strongly implies that the quality of interpersonal relationships declines as one participates more online.
I disagree..

Urbanized environments are characterized by very dense populations, and yet most people find the vast majority of people they are *forced* to be surrounded by to be strangers.
The residents are likely being held by the gunpoint of financial issues: that's where cities came from: dense agregations of people concentrated for economic purposes.
The internet allows people who are not surrounded physically by people they enjoy to find and establish a circle of friends that is distributed.
My kid hangs in chat rooms a *lot* -- am I concerned?
No. It's a community. It's just a different community that doesn't have the physical proximity that we used to associate with our friendships...
Merely knowing the make and model of monitor "..from Windows.." is not necessarily enough information.
If you dink around in XF86config with a text editor you can *really* goof stuff up if you don't know what you're doing.
And even Xconfigurator is not fool-proof if you answer something too quickly or without *knowing* that your answer is the proper one...
I've just set up an Optiquest Q73 monitor and an ATI Xpert98 video card (XF86_Mach64 server) under RHL 5.2, and I let Xconfigurator probe for the card but set up the monitor as "custom", chose conservative timings and only one resolution and color depth (1024x768x24bpp), and it looks great running Civ:CTP!
I dunno.. What kind of monitor? Despite the length of your rant^H^H^H^H post you don't give any real information; you've done it all, forever, and yet you can't get *this* to work so Linux is frustrating to you.
You spent a *month* on this?
And you'll try it again later with a different video card "..after you learn your way around the system the hard way.."
You *are* going at it the hard way, but I'm not convinced it's that hard...
I finished it and immediately started over on it..

Not!

"Microsoft's stance in this brouhaha is, of course, hypocritical to the point of being nauseating. In the past, Gates's minions have been notorious for sabotaging and corrupting open networking standards at every possible opportunity, and Microsoft's own "Halloween Documents" explain why with almost brutal frankness."
Microsoft is just serving it's own interests, as it always does, and is just playing the "open source" gambit here, to serve itself.. It's not that Microsoft is suddenly so right, it's just that AOL is more wrong..
"They are advertisements related to what you were seeking."

Here's an unsolicited testimony from a M$ user, from over at zdnet somewhere...
Name: Judith (Jill) S. xxx Email: jillxxx@msn.com Location: Lancaster, PA Occupation: Cresative MS product User
"As an "at home" user of MS Products, I hate to see the continuity of product and services broken into divisions. I think those, inclucing the Justice Department are crybabies and whiners and predict that no matter how many so called divisions Microsoft is split into eventually those divisions will again blow away the competition. Business is business! Bill Gates has proven that he is not only exceptionally bright, but also prosesses the necessary qualities of a ruthless businessman. He is unique! I have been delighted with every Microsoft product I have ever bought. . . . . . "

Combine that with its lack of timeliness, and it's become pretty irrelevant.
