i hate MS because they're trying to cash in on anger. they know that people hate microsoft enough to want to take down their site and they want to use that to their advantage to get free auditing.
what use is this auditing to them? it will help them improve their products so that they can make more profit from uninformed consumers. it will not benefit the *users* of ms software to have to keep on paying microsoft to produce crap.
they expect free debugging in exchange for nothing. with free software, the time devoted to debugging bears returns many times over in continued evolution of something that noone can ever coerce you into paying for "upgrades" to.
why should anyone want to help micro$oft audit the security of win2k? wait till we can get a copy of it, then we'll start looking for security holes. this is just microsoft trying to use the anti-ms sentiments of crackers to get free auditing. screw them.
i agree that "open source" is equally confusing as "free software", but "free software" has the distinct advantage that most companies that would misuse the term "open source" would never dream of using the term "free software" at all.
if you're *really* interested in the bases of abstract thought, check out _Philosophy in the Flesh_ by Mark Johnson and George Lakoff. it runs circles around everything Pinker has to say (both in "How the Mind Works" and "the Language Instinct") and sheds much more light on the everything pinker deals with.
pinker's a good writer, and somewhat enjoyable, but he's largely deluded.
it may just be me (i do live in berkeley, after all), but are there ANY sane coders who DON'T smoke weed? i mean, i've known a few programmers who smoke crack (seriously) and more than a few that do coke, but every last one of them was a weed smoker too.
anyone who says you can't code while stoned obviously doesn't smoke enough buds!
the extended FAT16 format (i.e. > 2GB) has been supported since M$DOS 5 or 6. hence, it is also supported in windows 95 (since it is really just a graphical shell over MSDOS 7.0)
windows 95 cannot read FAT32 before OSR2 (OEM Service Release 2). i think that there was also some service pack for older win95's that allowed them to do so as well. win 98 reads FAT32 out of the box, of course. "Win2K Enterprise Edition" (back when it was called NT 5) was supposed to be the first NT derived kernel that would support FAT32 natively (without third-party utilities).
{ sorry to babble so much about M$ crap, but i figure that anyone who's reading three levels deep into a thread on Linux and FAT32 might be interested. }

the brain's storage of "knowledge" is not a digital structure, so it cannot be measured in bits.
