I set up a xen dom0 with IPv6-only yesterday and a local bind instance for DNS. I found that I can't even reach a lot of IPv6-enabled sites because their nameservers only have IPv4-addresses, so they don't resolve...

Because the loadall instruction does not do any checks on the loaded registers and it loads the machine status word (msr) register, which controls whether or not you are in protected mode, it should be possible to use it to leave protected mode.
Of course I can't really check that without a real 286 machine, but I think I remember reading that and it does make sense to me.:-)

That one is actually true.
Officially, once turned on, you could not leave the protected mode on the 286. IIRC there is an undocumented 'loadall' instruction which allows you to do this though. But I doubt Windows was using that one. Instead the BIOS provides functionally to exit protected mode by doing a silent warm reboot (It puts some magic value into the CMOS RAM, causes the processor to reboot and the bootup code checks for the magic value and returns to the OS).
Now if it were possible to specify multiple trackers in one torrent, it would be even better, because even if one were offline the others could be used.
Ever heard of diet libc? That's his 'home-brew libc' and it works quite well now. Of course it does not support all the features of glibc (especially i18n IIRC), but it's very nice for embedded systems.
I use Galeon/1.2.5 on Debian/unstable. Maybe it only works with cookies, the preferred language does not seem to make a difference. I usually use www.google.com/search, which is in $preferred_language.
www.google.com resolves to 216.239.37.99 over here, but I get redirected to www.google.de when I use that url. http://www.google.com/ncr seems to be broken (also redirects to www.google.de, and it has been broken for some time now).

It did not nuke your CMOS (which would just give you "cmos checksum error"), but overwrote your BIOS FLASHROM. And rewriting that one should be easy enough for your PC dealer, given that he has a clue and some rather inexpensive equipment. Heck, you can even do it yourself if you have a second PC and are confident enough to swap the FLASHROMs while your system is running.
I think you are mistaken there. AFAIK it is hardware write protection. I remember an April's fools joke from the german c't Magazine where they said it could be overridden by software and the program would print "APRIL APRIL" if you tried it:-) So unless you can show me this program, I believe this is a myth.
sucks because 1. they normally get us/canada only licenses 2. they only release box sets (which i can't afford)
I'd really love to have the Urusei Yatsura DVDs but I can't afford these Box sets, so I would rather want to buy one DVD per month. (Or maybe even two DVDs per month would be ok) And because I live in germany they won't send me the box sets anyway (stupid licensing issue)
Of course you can fit more than 6 per disc but at what price/quality ? It depends on the type of DVD you use (the cheapest ones (on a per gig base) are the smallest [approx. 4gig?]) If you want to put more eps. on a DVD with the same size you have to reduce the bitrate which leads to a worse picture. Go figure...

You can buy articles in PDF format and you can also buy an archive DVD that has all the articles in HTML.

Well, this new knew-strap-device looks promising:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7226968.stm
5W generated by a slow walk is enough to recharge&power your phone, ipod or whatever small device.
Or slowly charge your notebook.

But if you make torrents of the torrent files it would be feasible:
ranma@melchior:~$ ls -l test.torrent
-rw-r--r-- 1 ranma users 111443 003-11-30 21:58 test.torrent
ranma@melchior:~$ ls -l test.torrent.torrent
-rw-r--r-- 1 ranma users 171 003-11-30 21:58 test.torrent.torrent

I have bought the SuSE Distro and SuSE update disc a few times.
The only Windows I actually paid for was the
one on my first PC (Windows 3.1)... ^^;
Now I'm running Debian, which only costs me
bandwidth to update/upgrade...

Nope, but if you like series like that you
