Huge spit take all over the monitor. What?! What? Your chocolate is in my peanut butter! Your peanut butter is in my chocolate! Cats and dogs living together!-Real Wrath of God type stuff! Bun's not meat nor cheese. Word!
Why does this bother me, but LiteStep for Windows not? I think it's the name; yes -- the name.
Reminds me of a story. I used to live in Eastern Washington State near Cashmere, WA. That's where the Treetop company is based out of. Seems there is a Treetop based out of Kashmir, India.
I supppose I was trying to refute the comments about "the typical user" when I started to reply to this, but now I have to say that I'm in agreement.
I started my time with Win 3.1, and tweaked that to death, then moved on to Win95 and played with that for a time. Up until this time, I had been your typical user, unwilling to dig too much further.
My experience with NT over the years has taught me some valuable lessons.
* I have a user account on my machine instead of logging in as the Admin. I've set up the desktop and start menu on the Admin account with items aimed at administration [doh].
* I set whatever services I may run to manual, so that I use them only when needed.
* The C: partition is for the OS and programs only. All data is on the D: or subsequent drives.
I'll be damned if that isn't the successful recipe for a Linux box as well.
I'd have to say the first few chapters of the Red Hat manual were invaluable, and ought to be required reading. It isn't that difficult. And if you're not careful, you just might learn something.
This is what we tell people to do. Write it down and don't forget it. It's amazing how many people call asking what their Administrator password is. "I don't know; you tell me," is my usual paraphrased answer. This by itself is not asking much of people.
They have tested just such a thing during one of last years Shuttle flights. It was a remote control bot about the size of a soccer ball. It was maneuvered using compressed nitrogen just like the MMU's.
Small Red Balls of Evil [tm] slowly drifting across the cabin and bumping into people's heads. They will then stare at the astronauts until the balls cause them to get cross and make a mistake.
The ball next to the fridge has decided to call itself Dennis . . .
Lucas is a speed freak. Always has been. Check out the last 20 minutes of THX-1138. The Star Wars movies have always been for children, Lucas has admitted so. The only thing that has changed is the audience. I walked into TPM with only the expectation that I would be entertained, and I was. I didn't look for any deep meaning.
Perhaps Guinness should have thought a bit longer than he did before signing on for three fucking movies. It would be fun to approach Guinness and gush about his performance in the 1970 musical "Scrooge". Anuerism time for poor 'ol Alec.
Install Tweak UI from http://www.microsoft.com/NTWorkstation/downloads/P owerToys/Networking/NTTweakUI.asp, select light arrow, then normal arrow, and OK. Should change them back. Try also deleting the shelliconcache file and rebooting. The best method is to reapply the current service pack.
I would imagine that what is needed is a "virgin" whose never seen the algorithm for LZW sit down and read LZ78, and create an algorithm based on the paper. It would not be LZW, but something entirely new. I think this would work as I haven't heard of anyone patenting scientific papers.
They could have made the case red and black carbon-fiber and probably not gotten into hot water. They should have patterned it after Air Jordans, would have been harder to mistake for shoes. I like the idea of the I-mac, and the E-thingy has some interesting features, but this was not the way to go.
I think that's about $0.03 Canadian; you guys are doing just fine.

They're currently in use in Europe. It has to do with how the control rods are formed. They're inside a cylinder with an expansion space at the top. If the reactor goes critical, the rods heat up and in doing so expand, spreading out the material in the cylinder, so the reaction kills itself [dies out]. The material in the rod can be reformed and put back into service later. I still wouldn't let my kids play with it, though.
Breeder reactors were used to create plutionium for the weapons industry, and oddly enough they can be used to burn it up as well, and generate electricity in the process. Swords into plowshares, as it were.
The electricity could be used to crack water into hydrogen for fuel-cell vehicles, thereby reducing the CO2 output, thereby reducing drastically the need for oil, etc.
Waste could be dug up and burned in breeder reactors to produce massive amounts of electricity, but the US government instead buries it. It literaly is more power in the hands of the average citizen.
I would say that most rational Christians are going to have an open mind about topics such as the evolution of life on the Earth and the universe at large. There is enough evidence to point to the age of the universe, 12-14 billion years [12 to 14 thousand million], and the age of the Earth, ~3.5 billion years [3.5 thousand million]. Evolution is an elegant, compelling explanation as to how life started on this planet. More and more evidence is being collected to show how the species could have evolved over time. My time at Barnes & Noble reading Sic Am and Astronomy magazine is paying off.
It's important to realize that the evolution of the universe and life on Earth are still theories. They may never be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Our job as rational beings is to test and question every theory we arrive at to check its validity. Is this not the Scientific Method? To dismiss an idea outright violates everything the Scientific Method stands for.
While in school we were taught just about every form of creation myth and theory, and strangely enough, our opinions didn't change much from when we first started our studies. We were simply exposed to new ways of thinking. We were given a choice, and allowed to choose.
So the question I would ask is this: Is it right to criticize and bury any idea that you don't find to your liking? Both sides should think long and hard on that one.
Whether a god or a series of physical laws created this universe, it still is a magic place.
Look and feel lawsuits have not always won in the past, but I wouldn't put it past Adobe to try and protect their intellectual property if Gimp got more Photoshop-like. I don't really see how or why, but I'm not a lawyer.
A quick glance [mind you a very quick one] at the UI and I can't tell the difference.
I played with apple II's [not IIe, not even II+] in school, and the first computer I owned was a TS1000. Where do you think I learned my command-line based skills? I learned to program by hacking together lines of spaghetti code so many years ago.
"Waste resources teaching kids specific skills"? I think not.
My experience has been that PCI swaps pose no problems in NT4, but ISA does. It takes some finagling to get NT4 to play nice with the new configuration. However . . .
I've changed the motherboard twice on my NT4 machine with the same installation. I had to make sure that the drives stayed on the same Controller and in the same master/slave configuration. My ISA modem had to be set up again, but that was it. The only time I've reinstalled was for shits and giggles and to reconfigure where the OS and the data lived.
Start an install using the upgrade CD on a formatted harddrive. It will ask you to insert your Win95 or 98 CD for verification. It will proceed with a full, clean install.
Create a blank text file on your formatted harddrive called "ntldr"; no ".txt", just "ntldr". Install from your Windows 98SE upgrade CD. Win98 will see that you have NT on your system and will "upgrade" it, and replace any and all portions that are "missing".
You will need to have the CD drivers on a boot floppy or boot from the CD.
For Win95 create a text file with these lines: [Setup] ProductType=1 ccp=0 Run D:\win95\setup.exe C:\"filename".txt from DOS. This will install a full version.
It's important to note that you must have a legal right to do so, but ability does not equal authority.
All of this assumes, of course, that you want to install Win 9x on a system. I personally wouldn't want major software upgrades cluttering a system regardless of the OS. If we've all followed good housekeeping procedures with regards to partitioning system and data, this shouldn't be a traumatic experience.
Robert Oppenheimer, great man that he was, had no qualms about creating the atomic bomb. He knew fully what it was and what it could do.
It was only after it was demonstrated in New Mexico and in Japan, the reality sunk in like the catharsis expereinced after a 10-hour Veda-reading marathon. To his credit he did oppose the hydrogen bomb; lesson learned.
What was my point? Uh...
A stable OS for the military is good thing, regardless of where one stands.
"McWee registered a complaint about the hacking attempt with the Maryland state police's computer crimes division.
Police spokesman Pete Piringer said that because the attack did not succeed in getting access to McWee's server, there did not seem to be a crime committed."
This is only one man making a comment, but I'm certain this would be of interest to Kevin Mitnick.

Uncle Clive provided me with my first Z80 machine, the TS1000. I got the 16K RAM pack and I was in heaven.
Oh, yeah. Anyone posting about Beowolf clusters will have their . . . oh, crap.
Compaq partners with MS who partners with Intel who partners with IBM who is certifying Linux which is the goal of Alpha who is part of Compaq.
Tangled web indeed.

Take a stroll through the Microsoft RedWest campus if you get the chance. Some fo the shit going on in there makes Steve Jobs look like a choir-boy.

How much did you pay for the Hotmail account? How different is the Spinglish in this message from any corporate non-apology?
Did we all somehow forget that Microsoft is a corporation? This is why Linux is here, and is thriving and growing.
Agreed, on the I-macness of said product.
