Just use a winsock implementation that interfaces to a DOS packet driver.
I'm not sure how to do it with native win95/98/ME networking (there are options to use a Real Mode driver, but I haven't explored them).
However, you could use a product such as Trumpet Winsock 16-bit with the Packet Driver option... I remember doing that for a little while after upgrading from Win 3.1.
I had "ne2000.com 0x60 0x300 9" (or something like that) in my autoexec.bat and setup Trumpet to use the packet driver at int 0x60. Worked fine, but DNS lookups were slow for some reason.
As far as I remember in my Chemistry degree, the only material other than Iron that exhibited ferromagentic properties were derivatives of that enigmatic C60 molecule, buckminsterfullerine.
In Display properties, there's a combo box that normally says "Small Fonts (96 dpi)". Change it to "Large Fonts (120 dpi)", or Custom. The Custom option was introduced in Windows 95, but the others have been arount since 3.0.
Select custom, and go ahead and crank it up to 200 dpi. Your truetype will look fine and be exactly the right size.
Fenêtre means Window. Petitsoft would be Littlesoft. A putain, rougly translated, is a slut. Guess the poster meant "Karma Whore". I don't know what a tronchonne is. Should look that up. They probably meant pussy by "chatte".
Not all of as: - Play video games or role-playing games - Were abused in high school - Feel a sense of "community" with other "geeks" - Have trouble with women - Give a shit about the "freedom" of the "Open Source Community"- to some of us, Free Code is just code we can fix and reuse.
Why do you feel the need to define "geeks" as a group? Does it satisfy your need to belong? Are you only 13 inside?
Am I the only person who finds it insulting when Jon Katz pigeon-holes people? It's like he based his entire career on dividing people into little groups. Maybe it makes writing easier, like a book report in Grade 5. Generalize, Summarize...
With NetBSD or OpenBSD, you'll know exactly what's installed- the default installs are tiny. And since almost all utilities are BSD-derived, configuration files are consistently organized and easy to find. Maybe give one of those OSes a shot.
I assume GCC can already produce IA64 binaries (what good is kernel source if you can't compile it?). When was that project completed? Do the binaries take advantage of all the new registers?
According to http://opensource.corel.com/wine.html, Corel forked the code tree so they could get WINE working with more apps, sooner. WineHQ was taking way too long with modular toolkit support, so Corel split off and developed their own WINE for Qt.
Anyway, Isn't that exactly what this project needs? I would have hoped that WineHQ would be putting more time and effort into important stuff, not fluff like look & feel. Maybe that's why WINE has so far to go.
"But if you need an inexpensive alternative that will give you bare-bones network services with decent performance, Red Hat Linux can certainly fit the bill."
Then again, for what you'd want to do on a P75 with 16 MB, a default NetBSD install would be just fine.
The first half of the article was about how NT had better I/O throughput, both for large tranfers and while under load, than Linux. You can't say Linux is faster in this particular comparison.
Also, looks like cost wasn't a factor in this article. So you're left with "more reliable".
Now, if we add up the points like IDG did, NT comes out on top. Of course, you've already made up your mind in favour of Linux.
You can't install SWAT with linuxconf (unlike the standard services, you have to manually update inetd.conf. Boo hoo.), so maybe that's their reason for ignoring it.
Of course, I'm really reaching here. SWAT is a great point in Samba's favour and they really should have featured it in the article.
[rant] Why is it people always say "Solaris x86 is slow cause, uh, the architecture sucks."? Without any facts to back that claim up (ie, what about the platform is so fucking bad), it's nonsense. [/rant]
Furthermore, why do you call Solaris slow? Because it's cool to say "slowlaris"? It scales very well. The file system is very fast. Maybe you find CDE slow?
... until I read the article. Why does this have to involve the internet? Some kind of lame attempt to cash in on a buzzword?
There aren't all that many parameters to store- how long to cook and at what power, when to pause and restart, how long to let the food sit after it's done cooking. That info could be stored in the oven (maybe the barcode could be a hash of those parameters) or even in the barcode itself.
A device this complex (contact the company for instructions over the internet??!) will never catch on.

What about Nickel (magnetic coins) and Cobalt?
Instant cure for the /. effect: pull your page right off the web.

Unless the company name is the domain, ie "Buy Dot Com", not Buy.
Here's something for you to ponder:

"So back in 1991 this guy Linux uploads a port of Minix to x86 on USENET and nine years later look what happens."
See how many glaring errors you can find in that phrase.
I must've been thinking of Multiplan (which apparently they did write from scratch, just like Microsoft BASIC).

Didn't Microsoft write Visicalc? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Since you know code better than math, here's some C to tell if a number is even:
/* x is TRUE if n is even, FALSE if n is odd */
enum { FALSE, TRUE } x;
int n;
...
x = (n % 2) ? TRUE : FALSE;
Wow, so 0 really is even. Now shut up.

When compressed, streaming voice data needs like 6-8 kbps. That's less than an average IRC session in a busy channel will cost you.
To say that this will put a strain on bandwidth is absurd.
*growls at Fict*
This isn't IRC. You're not cute. Go away.
