In the CDMediaWorld review they simulated the passage of time on the discs and the Ritek were estimated to last 5 years and the Taiyo Yuden 50 years
In reality, 50% of the TDK discs I buy (model: CD-R80, currently with an item code of CD-R80CMEB but many other items codes too) are manufactured by Taiyo Yuden and 50% claim to be manufactured by TDK
a while back http://www.cdmediaworld.com/ had an article explaining how there were something like 256 different brands of CD media, but only something like 16 different manufacturers of the actual media. Taiyo Yuden were reckoned to be the best manufacturer. they make discs for lots of different manufacturers, but you don't know 'til you get home and get yr CD writing software to read the code off the disc and tell you who the manufacturer is, bcos it aint gonna tell you on the packet. and different sub models of disc can be made by different manufacturers. I think TDK even had the same models, with some made by Ritek (the worst quality) and some made by Taiyo Yuden. there was a court case against them for this. I buy a single TDK disc, take it home and check it, and if its made by Taiyo Yuden I go back and buy loads of that same model disc, and have been able to get the people in the shop to say they'd take the discs back if they weren't Taiyo Yuden (a large consumer-space chain in the UK, I shan't name them incase they read this and stop being so remarkeably fair)
is it a violation of the EULA to change the registry to allow more than the default limit, or to actually have more concurrent connections than the default limit?
I don't know how/if that contravens the licence. if anyone can tell us then I can add a comment to that option in the program I referenced, for those who have to 'conform or die'

yeah you've got something misconfigured there

Our TWEAK program (batch script) (http://thegoldenear.org/tweak/)
removes some of the lesser bloat from Windows 2000 (probably exactly the same files exist in XP). its 'Windows Configuration' -> 'System file cleanup' section removes screensavers, temporary and backup files, wallpaper, Microsoft Sounds, excess icons and 'Media' bookmarks that Microsoft have been paid to advertise
"Funnily enough, I've never needed the source code either" As long as its available to everyone, someone will get it that can use it and extend the software for everyone else. just because you don't understand why this fundamental point of freedom exists doesn't mean the source code should be restristed from everyone
and conversly I've met plenty of people who will use GNU/Linux precisely because for them it is an effective work around to the problem of the domination of capitalist software.

I've converted a number of organisations of varying sizes (all under 25 users) to Mozilla for their web browsing. In web browsers, there's no competition. However the email client is a different issue; as far as I know it doesn't integrate with a mail transport system, so it doesn't scale. an organisation with more than a couple of users wants a mail transport system to manage the email distribution - sifting and sorting email between different mailboxes; automatic replies; collecting from multiple hosts; content control; filtering. I always advocate Pegasus Mail when people are using Windows, it has a companion Mail transport system called Mercury (written by the same guy that writes Pegasus Mail) that is well integrated with Pegasus. Pegasus will also interoperate with other mail transport systems
there are places where you can install anything, then they copy over a backup copy of the whole partition that the OS and programs are installed on when you leave. but admittedly that isn't the norm. some places will allow you to install anything, but they must be stupid
I've never found a flash card reader that Windows 2000 had the drivers for by default
you're right. but my comment isn't intentionally deceiving. it was a summary. my Samba setup provides only the same functionality as the NT4 server and I use it with Windows 2000 workstations, which is why Windows 2000 was mentioned

if you can it would be even more useful if you filed a bug for Mozilla problems you find in Bugzilla to go along with the feedback reports (referencing against a Talkback report number if possible). this way it will be more noticeable to engineers working on Mozilla - bugs in Bugzilla get assigned to individuals and Talkback reports provide a more general view of whats breaking that can be analysed statistically, or provide tangible data when referenced against a Bugzilla bug report
the author hadn't flattened the layers. it got noticed I think by a reporter using a slower computer than many used at the time so they saw the names appear then get blanked over where-as for most people that happened too quick to see. it was reported here on Slashdot

it leaves F-Prot for Windows which I've known to be worthwhile and recommendable for the past 8 years. it only costs 2 per year
yes, we very well can complain, thankyou, when we consider using these operating systems on/as servers
well, that was what I was told a while back when I used. presumably the person who said so believed 'ii' meant plural in Latin.
whatever
virii is Latin. if we want it to be virii then its virii
