are you sure about that? A lot of text based functions have a whatEverU() and a whatEverA() version that get's put in when you use whatEver(), so you don't really need to worry about it. I do think 9x does have some unicode support. I can view Chinese/japanese websites in IE4...
I don't know for sure though "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
windows is perfictly capable of running non-MS software. Cheap no-name hardware though, can cause a lot of problems (shitty drivers that run in the kernel) "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
Your box is most likely crashing do to a bad driver. The quality of the hardware really has a major impact of stability under windows (crappy hardaware works, but it has crappy, buggy drivers)
if you buy cheap *no name* hardware, problems will happen. Before I baught a Peice of shit winmodem, My 98 box probably only crashed 3 or 4 times, in months, after I put it in, it crashes every few days, but only when I'm playing an MP3. but the card cost $16 and doubled my effective bandwidth:) "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
windows 3.11 had more support for "work groups" as well as some support for win32 code (from NT 3.51) in the for of win32s (they may have worked in win 3.1,3.0 as well, but I don't know).
so it was "multi user" in the sense of multiple users at multiple computers running peice of shit non premptive OSs... "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
but is your favorite MFC-based 100000 lines company-internal Windows 95 app going to be portable to Windows CE or Windows NT? Yes, it will on NT 4, anyway. Windows 2000 as well (witch is just NT 5). CE isn't the same thing at all, and I don't even know if you could cross compile.
please don't oppen your mouth if you don't know what your saying "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
What the hell is this? quite frankly, windows is almost perfectly compatible. I realize that UNIX code is not going to port with out much trouble, but portability between Windows programs is at the *binary* level. You might have some trouble running newer win 95/NT code on windows 3.1, but try running the latest version of Mozilla on XENIX or whatever. (there's also the Direct X issue, witch has effected me personally... rrr)
there are some issues relating to driver incompatibility between NT and 9x, but other then that, all win32 platforms are compatible. Apps don't need recompiling. NT and 9x can run win3.1 code, and 9x can run DOS code. (NT can run some DOS, but not all. I think)
I realize that a UNIX program is not going to compile out of the box, (although NT is postix compliant, I'm not sure if its a very good implementation or not though) But neither will Mac or BeOS program. what does that have to do with anything?
I've seen this type of anti-MS FUD before, in a document stating that win64 OS's wouldn't support win32 properly. This was because the original version of win NT didn't support win16 very well (NT 3.5 has an emulation layer, or something). It was blatantly false, however, considering that windows NT currently supports 16 bit code, and 9x is half built of it (not that that's a good thing....)
Please realize that when you are dishonest, it calls into question everything you say. I for one never believed anything Apple said in there information, because some of the things they said weren't true at all (or no longer true). If you don't want to alienate potential linux users, you must not tell them things that they know aren't true. If you don't use windows, or have any experience with it, don't say things about it (the same is true for win* crashing all the time. It's not 100%, but it's not 0% ether)
Disclaimer: I use win98, I hate NT, I think linux is cool, and plan to install it, and I dislike Microsoft. "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
Using a scripting language instead of a shell is ridiculous. Do people write bash scripts in their GUI text editor, and run them instead of going to the shell? I doubt it. What you are proposing is exactly the same. I doubt anything will ever replace the shell, because it's so powerful.
I dont' think he ment getting rid of "command line" as far as somthing you connect to a ttyp device, but rather the bash/dos Style shell of having command/programs and command lines a long with pipes, etc. so you'd still be able to type in sigle line "scripts" at a command line, if you wanted to. it could be a lot simpler *and* more powerfull "Subtle mind control?

actualy, this was about the funniest one I've heard. it's not really a "service pack" to #3, but a take on the whole Andrew Lenard Artical about Slashdot's amazingly stupid PR firm...... "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
That just occoured to me, and I thought it was funny:) I don't have anything aganst linux users at all (infact I plan on installing it once I get a new hard drive...) "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
Yes, but that's not the same in any respect as far as a comparison to human technological development. "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
Well, I would send you something, but I can't because you are an AC. and the last time I checked, I couldn't Post exicutibles to slashdot.
I'm 19 years old, and I've been programming since I was around 12 or so, I've always loved computers, but I didn't get my own until the summer of 1995.
since then I've learned C++, Java, and X86 assembly (although, just 16 bit). I've also worked with Pascal, z80 assembly, and a little Basic (I just wanted to play with ms-dos Qbasic:) and UNIX shell scripting. I also do quite a bit of web design, although, I don't have anything posted right now. (I lost most of the stuff in a hard drive crash, after taking it offline).
As far as my writing goes, I could post some of my storys, but I don't really have the urge to submit a 1000 word post, that most people won't read... but, here is a poem I've written:
Pretty Girl
In her silk, or satin dress pale pink or maybe white contrasts the dark room. The dim lights are reflected off the glitter on her skin. As her body sways, and twists to the loud, deep music.
Of course that's not really "prose" but, whatever.

you can bitch all you want, but the 31337 $cr1p7 k1dd13s made a common word. if "virii" itsn't the plural of "virus" then it's a new word that means it like "population" is a more then person and "cluster" is more then one computer (although you use an "a" with those, but you get my point) "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
You're confusing evolution with god, or something. Evolution has not mind, no intelligence at all. it's just random. something doesn't need to be "perfect" it only needs to be "ok"
A "perfect" virus wouldn't harm humans *at all* because that way it could spread to everyone of us and live forever. the AIDS virus does harm us, so it is not "perfect".
you seem to be saying that the aids virus is "evolved" so it won't kill us all, Well, it may not be that great, and while it would be a "stupid" thing to do, we would be fscked "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
Well, you shouldn't get a voodoo at all, go TNT2ultra. much faster under openGL (for quake1/2/3) and it looks *much* nicer "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
Before teh System.ini hack came out, there was a registry crack. I'd be willing to bet that the registry hack works on NT as well as 9x. (but of course, not 3.x) "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
If they wanted to disable Netscape, they could have just set some settings in the browser, to block all incoming HTTP reqests comming from any kind of mozilla
I think the "spesific reasons" that they talk about is the fact that they screwed up, and are stupid.
Typical "it's not a bug, its a feature" thinking.
plus some people are saying it dosn't work right in IE ether... "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"

he had a valid point, you can't exspect old versions of software to support new features in new versions.
