HI, I used Win2k.
I had to repeatedly download updates to try to get internet connection sharing (worked fine in 98SE...) working on my computer. It never worked. After each update, they would suggest 'That update didn't work? Try this one...'.
Also, I liked it when i would reboot and it would find new hardware, all of a sudden, and then crash while installing 'drivers' for this 'new hardware'!
Wow, and you find a bunch of stuff in portuguese! that really is helpful!
Anybody who has'nt tried this search and come up with a bunch of stuff from brzilian mailing lists is, you're right, ever so stupid.
Thank you for setting the.org straight!
thats because the 384k in your DSL speed means bits... and the 300k in the stream means bytes! On a 3 mbit download cable connection, witha 256k upload, that means my max download is about 285k a sec, and max upload is about 30k a sec...
so, with download bandwidth eight times what you have, I still can't get 300k a seconds... almost though.
(as in how on a 56k modem you get 6 k second... its bits and bytes...)
Now this book was crap. Some rite of passage book about this adolescent girl with strange sexual undertones. To think this guy was ever compared with Frank Herbert!
So THIS is how Microsoft is getting their vile asses into Linux!
Probably, the source code that they deliver to Corel will be hopelessly fucked up in some way to keep it from actually working right no matter what Corel does, though it will vaguely work (hm,, like most MS products.. hmmmm...) enough to seem liek it works until you actually try to do anything but look at it.
If they had anti-Netscape code, then how about anti-Linux code? Of course. Well, Netscape was pretty fucked up anyway by Windows98... didn't really even neeed anti-Netscape code...
as a moderator, i just finished smoking a large pile of Northstar Glassworks Blue Moon powder, NS-45-p, mixed with some Glass Alchemy Caramel Luster. Mmmmmm!! You gotta use oxy-propane on that, baby!

Ity would be a tremendous fallacy to think that the RIAA is really concerned in the SLIGHTEST about 'the artist'. We know from how record companies treat bands that they really don't give the slightest fuck about anything but MONEY MONEY MONEY for THEM, THEM, THEM! I doubt if this tax will be very distributed among the 'artists'.
(that aside... yeah, you should get paid, of course. this just isn't the way)
It seemed kind of lame to me , the whole QPL deal. This makes a lot more sense! I hope it helps KDE speed along to greater coolness in, um, some way.
You know, I am no fanatic, but I think i owe this man a whole lot, and I sure do wish everyone would stop bashing him for no reason. I was so inspired when I realized that the goal of 'replacing UNIX with GNU/Linux' was taking place in all of the huge UNIX corporations, I had to celebrate!@ Yippee!!
Indeed, I recall an article on the MS developers thing about how in fact, yes, they ported a lot of the win32 api to unix for the IE on Solaris thing. It was really a pitiful disturbing thing, I think. Unfortunately, the article is not there anymore. I believe I have a copy saved somewhere however. It was sort of interesting.
When I was in 8th grade, in the great Simsbury , CT, my vice-principal made a point of saying , all the time, how he didn't need a 'probable cause' to search me, or a 'reasonable doubt' to prove I had done something. He reveled in the fdact that while police officers need proof to harass adults, minors have no such protection. Oh, and my high school vice principal was the same way.
Ms advertises stability as if it was this revolutionary new aspect of an OS that they have been slavishly perfecting to the amazement of the computer industry. Well, that might be sort of it, I suppose. If win2000 is a stable as unix, I'm amazed, and good job to them. However, they have no right to act like a stable OS is something new and revolutionary...
When they lose a customer to Linux, they lose out on not only selling os upgrades to them, but also applications. This would remove the latter problem. However, after the admitted anti-netscape code present in Windows 98, I would never install anything , anything , at all, that MS made for Linux. However, Linux users are, by education and virtue of Linux itself, a lot more aware of what is going on with their system. I could imagine MS embedding code that would make linux fuck up - how about, say, the 'office daemon' that lurks waiting to 'make office start faster' or something, and also happens to crash once every few days, suspiciously? Oh well.... anyway, um.. who cares! Death to MS.
It is just sooo incredibly stupid, seeing that makes me want to strangle whover thought of it. As if open source is a bleeding wound for the foolish companies and individuals who allowed them selves to get sucked in, and now they find themselves in a quagmire, or somehting? Not to mention it is gross. Yep, Bob is going off here. It is very sad how uninformed and spiteful he sounds.
open sores is just stupid. So are the MS things you mentioned, but in a different way.
Now, 'Internet Exploiter' is, in fact, a perfectly accurate representation of how Microsoft envisioned and has used their product, which was released solely to take advantage of the world wide network developed by the UNIX society. In fact, nothing like the interent would exist if MS had been in charge f developing it - we would have a closed, expensive, propietary network called 'MSN' that you could only access through MS software. They tried that (copying AOL), and then changed it once the REAL internet dwarfed their stupid experiment.
Anyway, I just had to defend my favorite MS pun/slur. 'Open sores' is just stupid, and has nothing to do with reality, and , as the previous respondent said, it is a step above booger jokes, barely.
no, richard stallman, the man that made free software as we know it HAPPEN, and is personally responsible for about 87% of the stuff on my mandrake system here ever getting written...
I am glad to see some more products that could prevent microsoft from attaining streaming media dominance. MS vs. Real is the MS vs Netscape of today - streaming media is a big deal, and Windows has all the support currently...
One question, slightly unrelated: If Real Networks is using Linux for their web server for their site, then why can't they give us a decent, up to date Real client? We never got a G2 that you can get without downloading an alpha from a special place.... and what of Real 7?

Wow! What a great OS! You are right!
ps.. no

Holy fuCk!!!!!!
an Os that WORKS!!!!! THEY SHOULD BE RULERS OF THE ENTIRE FREE WORLD WOWOWOWOWOWO wowow!@!@!@#@#!#!@#
actually,
ms products need a service pack every few minutes,
but unfortunately get one every 6 months.
yes, Windows sucks.
good fucking lord,
thanks steve.

Some people think it this is some sort of internal, hardware based program that is the reason their employers bought them that 900 Mhz PIII.
the beer SUCKSS??? what the fuck do you want, michelob? I'll take guines and murphy's any day over the pale , vile brew of my homeland.

you are using linux, and that attempt to access that particular DOS device won't lock up your computer! Nice try vile Foreigner!!! grahaha!
Dream cast will statisfy me once this long awaited title is made available!! aaaaagagah!
We all pay a shop,lifting tax already in the form of higher prices...
I was going to go on about how vile this is, but you know, everyone here echoes my thoughts so well I might as well just say "FUCK EM!!!!!"
This is just a little more overt.
