Hmmm, looks like you're OK as long as you don't use any of the FrontPage Web Components. Of course, if you're not using the FP Web Components, you're not really gaining much of anything by using FrontPage in general.
Just one more good reason to not fool with the crap. Besides, the FP Server Extensions for Apache wreak havoc on your security, and there's no way anyone in their right mind would run IIS after this week.
Incidentally, that was one of the things which drove corporations away from big iron to PC's. A lot of business software for minis and mainframes would be licensed with different costs based on the power of the hardware running it. I remember seeing a print-spooler add-on for the HP3000 whose price tripled from our development machine to our production machine. The cost of the annual 'support agreement' (read: continual profit generator) tripled as well.
It's quite humurous watching Microsoft making some of the same mistakes IBM did twenty years prior.
On the other hand, Nader might have pulled all the US military out of the Middle East the minute he took office, and perhaps there wouldn't be quite so many arabs willing to die to hurt Americans once that happened.
Then again, it might not have made any difference. Point is, we can't possibly imagine how different the current situation might be if the presidential election had gone differently, because there's been 8 months of stuff happening that wouldn't have happened. And vice-versa, too.
First of all, he said 'home theater', not TV. Decent widescreen projection TV's start around $2000. Unless you want to listen to the 5.1 channel digital sound downmixed into 5-watt TV speakers that probably cost $1 to make, you still need a receiver with Dolby Digital decoding, five speakers (6 or 7 if you want to truly experience Surround EX movies like TPM), and a subwoofer.
Second, I seriously doubt that, had the poster elected not to spend the $10k, it would have made any difference to starving people.
For those of us who's knowledge of German begins and ends with 'gudentag', is there a more accurate translation of the original lyrics than the English version available on the web anywhere?
Funny, pricewatch lists the price diff between a P4 1.4 and Tbird 1.4 motherboard combo to be 69 dollars Of course, a P4 1.7 is probably closer to the equivalent of a Tbird 1.4. The difference then comes to $137. I'd still get the Tbird and make sure to get a heatsink which mounts using four or six of the socket tabs instead of just two.
It does happen. It happened to my PC a few weeks ago. I just came home from work one day and my PC was dead. I tried rebooting it and it didn't come up. I opened the case and the heatsink was hanging by the wires to the fan header on the motherboard. The little plastic tab on the socket had just broken off under the weight of the heatsink. I'm probably lucky that nothing caught on fire.
I ended up buying a DragonORB - it clips to the outside four tabs instead of the middle two. Unfortunately my 1GHz T-bird was dead, it was no more, it had ceased to be, it was an ex-CPU. Even more unfortunately, I had a Duron 750 laying around, so I couldn't justify the expense of a new CPU to replace it. Oh well, the 1.4's are coming down in price rapidly now.:)
That's discrimination against insects, isn't it? Let's see, it's not racist, or even speciesist, i guess it would be phylumist, since probably any arthropod would be considered expendable to these horrific people. Who are we to say a cockroach doesn't have the same rights as a mouse?
That'll only work if the trackball has optical sensors like the Logitech marble. If it uses rollers, you still need the weight of the ball for it to work right.
Mandrake has a pretty nice menu update system which updates menus for Gnome and KDE (and any other desktops/WMs that are installed) when a package is added to the system. It does a fine job of keeping the Gnome and KDE menus in sync here.
They also, of course, provide a menu editor to be used to add programs which aren't packaged to take advantage of the menu system.
You'd be amazed how many classic arcade games from the early 80's use Z80s. I'm just getting started collecting and already have four machines that use them. The newest of my bunch is probably Gorf, from 1981.
Whoa, that reminds me... anyone got a copy of Desqview/X they'd sell cheap? I have no clue where my old copy might be.
I mainly used it back in the day to log on to my BBS from another PC in the same room, but it would sure be neat to run it on one of the $10 thrift store 386's and use it as an X-terminal.
Incidentally, I was using ARCNet cards and scavenged TV coax cable back then. Boy, 100mbps ethernet is sure an improvement!
Actually, the Toyota Prius gas/electric hybrid has a higher city rating than highway.
Ordinary gasoline vehicles do worse in city driving because their engine is running and wasting energy even when they are motionless.
An vehicle driven primarily be electric motors doesn't have this liability.
Modern electronic flourescent ballasts operate in the low kHz range already. In fact, the article even mentions that the older magnetic ballasts technically do flicker at 120Hz, since the current is alternating and they are lit during the + and - and dimmed during the zero crossing.
At any rate, if you're seriously bothered by flicker, get new fixtures with electronic ballasts. They'll save even more energy, too.
If you care about the future, a real future, where you can live out your natural, unmodified life expectancy...
Uh... unlike Jesus, I'd like to live past 33, thanks.
It should go without saying that Jesus did not live out his natural, unmodified life expectancy. Being nailed to a tree and hung up to die isn't considered "natural" to most folks.
Erm, you do realize that we're not talking about building an elevator to the ISS, don't you? This would be a station in geosync orbit with cables going both towards and away from the earth, such that the center of mass of the whole shebang is orbiting once every 24 hours. Attaching the cable to the earth at the bottom does not cause the space station to be subjected to gravity, because it does not change the station's altitude or orbital period.
Nope, you can't put it at the pole because the space end has to be in geosynchronous orbit (which, as the article points out, can only be done at the equator). And, by the way, you don't get dizzy standing at the pole - you only rotate once in 24 hours.

Good point. What's really bizarre is that MS is saying that it is "effectively impossible" for software companies to use GPL'd code in their proprietary products. Well, duh. It's also impossible (not just effectively, but absolutely) for those same companies to include Microsoft's source code in their products.
Sounds like the pot calling the kettle a food contact surface to me.
Photographic film can 'bleed' under bright conditions, and a bright background can obscure fine foreground details such as crosshairs.
Here is a good site explaining some of the anomalous results of the Apollo photos.
According to information I've found (http://www.fas.org/nuke/hew/), the largest nuke ever detonated was a 50Mt Russian bomb. The largest weapon detonated by the US is 25Mt. These weapons would be used against heavily fortified military installations, where you need that kind of destructive power. To destroy cities, you'd use a weapon in the 5-10Mt range. Yes, it's nearly 1000 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, but that doesn't mean a blast radius 1000 times larger - more like 10-20 times larger. Instead of just the city, you'd wipe out the suburbs too.
Besides, unless we go to war with China, we'll probably never use ICBMs and multimegaton warheads. I wouldn't be suprised to see some of the low kiloton range tactical weapons unleashed in a conflict like the Gulf War, if (insert current evil dictator here) develops or acquires his own nukes and strikes first.

I would say "moused by mice" mice-elf.
Subaru had a CVT in the Justy several years ago (late 80's, maybe?). The only current car with a CVT is the Toyota Prius gas-electric hybrid.

The word is "semantics". Symantec is the company that sells Norton Utilities and such.
Good God, don't give them any ideas! Imagine how confusing it would be to buy a bag of Microsoft Apples!
