nope. windows xp can only format filesystems as fat32 up to 32gb. however, windows 2000 can format fat32 disks much larger than that (i've never hit the limit). the reason this is intentionally disabled in xp is to discourage the use of fat32 in favor of ntfs on new drives. whether this is due to purposeful compatibility breaking (yes, everything reads fat), or simply a well-intentioned plan to get rid of the ancient fat file system is only known to microsoft.
old man murray, while probably not being so much of a video game journal itself, was much more of a meta-video game journal, in pointing out the whoring practices of most of the press out there as well as everything that is wrong in the video game software industry. their benchmark "time to crate" (the time it takes from when you start a first person shooter to when you see the first crate or barrel) is still a good indicator of at what point the developers ran out of ideas.
sadly, these days it is just an archive of old articles. still pretty funny, though. you gotta love a site so dedicated to taunting john romero.
apparently you're no physicist yourself. the speed of light in a medium does not equal the the speed of light in a vacuum. here is a handy chart for you.
i, for one, will start using more and more of my apps under a vmware installation of windows. and yes, i do run windows as my primary operating system. kazaa is already in there, as well as a dozen other apps i want to try without infecting my system. i can disable the network on the vmware os at any time, halt until i need it, and easily wipe it out and restore from a backup image. i realize this doesn't apply to this story since the submitter is a moron, but the fact is that it would not be surprising when it really happens
let me be the first to give this project a usable name:

ouvert is french for 'open'. ignore the prank the website is trying to play on you. i don't intend to add the french inflection 'zoovair' every fucking time i say it (much like i like my croissants to be crassandwiches). besides, the name XOPEN is already taken. so there you have it, folks. say it with: me XO is not Xfree86

this is not possible with current technology. the way bluetooth works is by creating a localized field of ionized nerd particles, that is then used as the carrier medium for bluetooth signaling. nerd particles are generated by things such as pda's, usb data sticks, certain ringtones, linux, and watches with calculators in them, and they naturally dissipate into the atmosphere and decay into harmless forms such as boba pearls. however, bluetooth acts as a concentrator, keeping the nerd particles from collapsing and creating a short range distortion field, making thing within it seem extremely nerdy. engineers are still working on resolving this issue, although an interim solution is to have a really hot girlfriend.
obviously, you've missed the point of the "pro" cards. they have some sort of system (built in cache, or parallel writing, or some such thing) that accelerates the writing process, so that you can take pictures rapidly (or whatever other data you're writing, i suppose).

thank you for your recommendation of yet another over-complicated standard for the world wide web. while we do appreciate the time and effort it takes to keep coming up with esoteric standards that involve the letter 'x', we currently are not searching to implement any additional layers of abstraction into our website viewing experience. we currently have xml backends that are interpreted by xslt's to generate style sheets that are controlled by dhtml, and feel that adding another abstraction layer to what was originally a simple way to serve a formatted text page would take us into the realm of meta-meta-meta-meta-programming, and that's probably two meta's too many for us. we have decided that we would rather spend our time creating interesting content, than debugging at what level our standards-based fancy pants websites are breaking on each browser.
so, while you guys are doing good job there in lotus-eating land, we on the real web will be passing on this standard.
you wrote 8 apps, in perl, that should take any perl programmer 2 minutes to do (and are so simple, one should use awk for them).
the body of your apps has more text that is dedicated to license and documentation than actual code.
your implementation is crap. i quote from your 'random' man page: random is slow when dealing with large ranges to randomly find a number from. This is because it creates a list of all potential numbers before picking one. So it can be memory intensive for large ranges. wtf?? if you were my employee, you'd be fired for writing code like this.
your apps are of very little use to most people. and the ones that do need them likely have just the right variations on what they're doing that they might as well write their own.
i would say your chance of getting included in any big distribution is approximately zero.

I doubt microsoft had a problem with bandwidth.
you've obviously never had to depend on the msdn website for documentation in the middle of the day (PST).

dear world wide web consortium,
thank you for your recommendation of yet another over-complicated standard for the world wide web. while we do appreciate the time and effort it takes to keep coming up with esoteric standards that involve the letter 'x', we currently are not searching to implement any additional layers of abstraction into our website viewing experience. we currently have xml backends that are interpreted by xslt's to generate style sheets that are controlled by dhtml, and feel that adding another abstraction layer to what was originally a simple way to serve a formatted text page would take us into the realm of meta-meta-meta-meta-programming, and that's probably two meta's too many for us. we have decided that we would rather spend our time creating interesting content, than debugging at what level our standards-based fancy pants websites are breaking on each browser.
so, while you guys are doing good job there in lotus-eating land, we on the real web will be passing on this standard.
thanks,
the world wide web
your new hear, i take it.
we definately do not waist are time with speling and grammer, you looser.
in the immortal words of homer*:
"if i spelled cat 'C', 'A', 'T', you'd know what i mean"
* simpson, homer j. not that other guy.
well done. you gotta love awk.
unfortunately, we cannot include your app in our distribution without a proper man page and license file.
so let's see:
you wrote 8 apps, in perl, that should take any perl programmer 2 minutes to do (and are so simple, one should use awk for them).
the body of your apps has more text that is dedicated to license and documentation than actual code.
your implementation is crap. i quote from your 'random' man page:
random is slow when dealing with large ranges to randomly find a number from. This is because it creates a list of all potential numbers before picking one. So it can be memory intensive for large ranges.
wtf?? if you were my employee, you'd be fired for writing code like this.
