Actually, I've got one machine I built myself, in an Antec 660B case... with an Apple sticker on the front that came with my SE/30 years ago. Does that mean that machine is legally licensed to run OSX:)?
As well as Ubuntu. In 2.8, you could right-click on menu entries and you could do some jiggling of menu entries to do menu editing, but that is pure unadulterated sadomasochism if you're planning on editing more than one or two entries.
I have a Very Slow Connection relative to most Slashdot users, and I see it all the time. It's related to reflow, so people who have lowered their reflow delays will see it on much faster connections; I see it with the standard reflow value. There's an extension called "SlashFix" that initiates a reflow as soon as any page from slashdot.org has finished loading, which is an elegant workaround (even if it makes those of us on slow connections have to wait for the whole comments section to load before seeing anything.) It's as much Slashdot's fubar HTML as a Mozilla bug, really.
Well, if they're payin' the license fee to MS, sure thing. Or maybe MS is giving them license to use those images in exchange for developing stuff that supports their cause. Either way, you can bet there's some lawyering going on.
Off this specific topic, but I can (indirectly) run Java code on Lego Mindstorms bricks. And they're what, $200 with some attachment devices? And hey, that makes me smile 'cause I've got one:D
Check out the MSFN unattended CD guide - it's not exactly "slipstreamed" per se, but it's pretty well automated. It takes a good bit of work to get it set up, though... so unless you're like me (and reinstall three times a second) the effort seems sort-of wasted.
... has most of it's main campus wired for wireless, but requires a proprietary Windows-only client to login to it. So at first glance it seems alrightish, but upon closer examination, sucks the llama's ass.

By Sandra's floating-point benchmark, the 1ghz VIA Ezra CPU couldn't match my old AMD K6/2-550... and that wasn't even that fast of a chip! Or that hot of one, either.

There are supposedly some Pentium M boards around, as well as 4s... in fact, if you look at Mini-ITX.com's store, they're selling a P4 mini-itx board. If only it's one slot was AGP and not PCI, that would make a hell of a small little gaming box...
Take a look at a tool called WhoLockMe by the guy who did the 256-color-tray-icon hacks for the older d0zes: Here. Only works on NT(4/5/5.1/5.2/6), but that's not so bad because 9x really doesn't have that sort of problem for no apparent reason (at least not as often).
Yea, but MS has prior art on patent barratry as a business model... if IBM alone doesn't... and that's just in the tech industry! I'd bet there are a couple cases from the auto industry in the 50s or something...
...My father got a time-limited demo CD of Ability's office suite back in the day sent in the mail AOL-style. It claimed to be expired when we tried to ran it. Yay. I would expect they've learned how to write a proper shareware bomb in the last 9 years, eh?
...anyone else think think they're making a secret hiddeny Rush reference (to the album 2112)? Or am I just being a commie, USian, Canadian wannabe... eh?
Count the version of notepad in NT3, then - it's had that same decent text control since 1993 even if it looked like Win3.x... the 9x notepad could prolly be traced all the way back to Win1.0 from the 1980's if ya really felt like it;)
A bill that passed the U.S. House of Representatives last month would create an Office of Global Internet Freedom that would have up to a $50 million annual budget to help citizens of foreign repressive governments skirt Internet censorship.
It's interesting... our government is working to help everyone else have "internet freedom" while other parts of it, and large corporations, are working frantically to repress "internet freedom" as much as possible at home. Does anyone think that they're definitely going to be expecting them to love us, cherish us, and buy stuff from our companies?
Yea, but it's not just IE... it's Explorer doing that, and even Mozilla/Firebird saves that way. So at least that isn't IE's fault... but there is a pref somewhere that you could use to turn it off.
nah... it's 'cause all the win9x just don't use RPC at all, it's specific to NT. So, even though MS doesn't publicly acknowledge the existence of them any more, 95 and 98 and basically everything that isn't NT is safe from this one.
This is a good idea in theory, but like Soviet-style communism, would quickly snowball into a Big-Brotherish thing, where everyone is being "tracked" and informed of what not to do because it might be illegal - and there are billions of "nonviolent" offenders that this could be applied to - for example, anyone who uses filesharing software or has downloaded a 2.4-era Kernel;)

You could call that... a siggle!

I dunno... a low-end Duron or Celeron might be in perfect range for a Betta or something tropical.
