oh one of your fonts (I can't remember which one) is corrupted. Happened all the time with NT4. You have to delete the font file and extract a new one and reboot. Then you will have fine minimize buttons.
WDM stands for "Windows Driver Model". It is the structure and methodalogy that a driver writter follows. Win2k had support for WDM, WinXp has support for WDM, Win98SE has support for WDM and WinMe has support for WDM.
Now the WDM interface you are speaking about is that in Win2k there was no support for WDM drivers for video cards. That added that functionality into WinXP so there would be parity between Win9x and WinXP. The WDM drivers for you video card provides access to the extra functionality on your card beyond just displaying images at various resolutions and what not. For example the tuner on the ATI All-in-Wonder series requires a WDM driver for it to work.
too bad all they did was to remove the windowsxp theme. they didn't go into the advance properties and turn off all of the other 20 settings to speed the system up. shessh...
sounds like you have a broken application and window manager. it should remember the place that it last ran and put itself there when it is run again. that way you don't have to do what you just described.
lol...that is funny.
lameness filter sucks. why is it that for every first post I do for the day I get the "you must wait X number of seconds between posts"
Actually if you run Windows2000 or WindowsXP and the motherboard manufactor decieded to put in a thermal zone (and thus sensor) on the system when it overheats the OS will throttle the system down. This of course requires the motherboard maker to put the thermal sensor and capabilities on the board...but it is there.
I personally have a 801.11b wireless network in use in my apartment. I also have a 2.4giz cordless phone. Neither of them have any problems being used at the same time. Course the wireless card I use is a pcmcia cisco card to connect to my linksys wireless router. And my phone is a Panasonic. so that might be the difference...who knows cause I don't.
On a Win9x system there is no individual security settings on each registry key so any app can go and monkey with what they want to. On a NT box (at least nt4 to winxp) each key can have security set. The system has a set thatit will set automatically but it is up to each application to set that security to what they want if they want to lock down access. If not...then it is open to everyone.
Does this text help you?

So it sounds like it is a 4 year clause
That is the crappies, least scientific analysis I have ever read before in my life. They make assumtions and never tell you where they got the data to backup those assumtions. Sheesh..it is FUD like this that really make me upset.
What? Where in the hell did you get that translation? Are you speaking piglatin or something?
My translation is:
Open Sources is an intellectual-property destroyer. I can't imagine something that could be worse than this for the software BUSINESS and the intellectual-property BUSINESS.
He is talking about businesses and businesses never give away something for nothing. If they give you a free OS they are going to want to make money on packaging, shipping, support, etc. Basically whatever they can make money on because they are a BUSINESS.
sheesh...get a clue. we aren't in college anymore.

One good reason is because the overhead in sending data between these two processes is too much. You lose all performance this way.
Oviously you haven't gone to http://msdn.microsoft.com The entire MSDN reference is there for free. That means you have full searchable access to all of the Win32 API's that you would use to write an application.
Uh? Why would he be against kernel debuggers? A kernel debugger is used to debug the kernel so how in other words do you debug a problem when you are developing new features that sit in the kernel or if you need to try to debug a problem that you see in the kernel? Do you have any sources on this statement cause I would love to read it.
Sorry I had to response. Please define that "fundamentally flawed platform" that you speak about. You went through and defined the problems with people not knowing how to write OS portable code (at least on the source level) but you never spoke to the "fundamentally flawed platform" you mentioned. Unfortunally for me...your entire statement is hinged on your reasons you think that the plateform is a "fundamentally flawed platform".
And you speak as though because you are a "System Engineer" you are better than "Software Developers". That is complete and uder BS. You must have some crappy Software Developers to think that their stuff is "crap".
Did you know that running dual-celerons is slower than running just one celeron if you get into an app that uses SMP? That is because the celeron was never designed to work in a SMP world and it also doesn't have the quanity of L2 cache needed to prevent it from having to refresh its L2 all of the time. Plus I have used that board. Doesn't do PM for shit.

Because in the credits there was a special thanks to Steve Jobs and several other people. But Steve Jobs was on the top of the list.

But the documentation wouldn't be free and that goes against all of the "it must be free" theology.
Office is MS's number #1 revenue source
Actually that is incorrect. Windows is about 45% of Microsoft's yearly revenue and Office is about %35-%40.

What? That wasn't a troll.. This is a troll
yea a bill that makes CENTS!
FUD! It says the opposite..
Fucking god damn motherfucking shit for brains lameness fucking filter

Why not just spend $180 bucks and get a single proc Athlon 1.4 with a SiS 735 chipset? It will be cheaper and faster than what you want to do.
