Dude, are you an MS bimbo? Win95 has no DOS code?!? Run 'format a:/s' and tell me that boot disk doesn't contain DOS.
That's about the first time I heard anyone not from MS (hmmm... wait a minute) say that Win95 has no DOS code.
This, of course, is pretty off-topic, but it was funny.
longer necessary. There were certainly changes, but the DR lawsuit established, to my satisfaction at least, that the announcement of the "disappearance" of DOS in Windows 95 was more for marketing than technical reasons. Microsoft's arguments at the time had as much technical credibility as their infamous video demos in a more recent trial. >>>> That's FUD. Win95 contains no DOS code aside from the compatibility module. It contains a great deal of Win 3.x code, but as I said its up top. Think of it this way. The core foundation was totally overhauled. It got rid of DOS, supported Win32 protected mode, etc. Once they had this skelatal foundation, they stuffed a lot of Win 3.1 back on there to support graphics, printing, UI, etc. That's why Win95 has a lot of 16 bit code, even though the architecture is totally new.
I have -never- said a bad word about Katz's articles, but this one tears it. He can't imagine a more arrogant society?!? What a load of shit. I'm about as far from a sociology major as they come, but even I recall a term called ETHNOCENTRICITY. Just about -every- culture has the same 'issues'...
This is an absolutely brilliant Troll. Too bad it's off-topic, because it's well-written and includes some truly subtle humor. Whoever pushed it down to -1 sucks.:)
Question: Why would/. carry a story detailing the (obvious) evils of Unisys, mention burning GIFs in an implicitly positive way... and then use GIFs for their graphics?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Here's a goof with his little pro-stoner link on his post, talking about Bush being stupid.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Stupid == Steve Magruder.
You're an idiot.
Listen to Rush Limbaugh for a while and see if the original poster's fearful rant against globalization is mentioned, ever.
The original poster's comments are more akin to Buchanan's mentality, not Limbaugh's. Limbaugh is far more likely to discuss football scores.
AMEN BROTHER!
The left is incredibly whiney this year, aren't they? Or are they -always- like that and I just haven't paid them enough attention?

Someone should start a Decaf for Katz Fund...
