    The NTFS addressing limit is just in the driver. The high 32 bits are set to 0, keeping addressing arbitrarily stuck at the 32-bit level.

    Give TIA @ DoD a few years and 18 Eb volumes will be nothing.

    Shouldn't they offer a 'will space for cash' deal instead? They'd make a lot more money.

    Ah. Interesting. /me makes a note to not try and stack his WAP when he gets it.

    I was actually considering stacking a WAP on top of my router, since I'm in a bit of a space-conscious situation right now and definitely don't have room for another machine...but after hearing your story, I won't try it. I'll cram the WAP somewhere else.

    Everything can be viewed as a tool by some and as an interesting pursuit by others.

    Case in point: You said you find cars interesting and see your computer as a tool. I feel the exact opposite. My computer is interesting and my car does nothing more than get me from point A to point B.

    If you right click on the colums, you get a list of columns to be displayed.....Date Modified is one of them, but it's just not set to be shown. This ability to control which columns show up has been around since 2000, however the different folder styles haven't.

    I think Blackcomb is still supposed to be a next-generation 'everything' not just a server.
    Rumors say that it's a total rewrite. Chances are that MSFT will get .NET right, if their 3-version rule holds (Blackcomb will be equipped with .NET 3.0).

    The entire NT Kernel codebase is the same across all the product lines. 2000 shared a core codebase for all its versions.

  22. Remote 3D on The PC Display has Left the Building · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Given the way Remote Desktop currently works, remote 3D (or any app that writes directly to a framebuffer such as PowerDVD or most TV tuner software) won't be possible. (I know - I've tried TVs, DVDs, and 3D games over RDP with no luck.)

    Remote Desktop doesn't read from the framebuffer. It switches the primary display to a virtualized video card and monitor with capabilities set by the client system (resolution, bit depth, etc.).

    You can check this. Fire up a RDP session into an XP Pro box and open the display control panel. The video adapter listed won't be the physical video card you've got on the system.

    Hopefully I'll turn out to be wrong about Mira devices (and Microsoft will have drivers reading from the card itself, making 3D and DVD possible), but with their past record, I'm probably right.
