Don't know what you're talking about, I was able to run the 2000 betas up to sp2 on my machine with funky hardware (stealth s220, some pci soundcard, a realtek nic, and eventually my voodoo2). It rarely ever blue screened and if so it was because of a beta driver. In fact a few months after receiving the beta, I made a permanent switch to 2k instead of 98.
(Once I had win98 running for 14 days and the computer could do nothing but use aim and browse some website)
I started programming QBasic when we first got DOS 5.0 (i think that was around 91 or so). It was very easy to understand and you could write basic programs very quickly to impress friends and family. However, don't blow off qbasic that quickly. You can push it to do almost anything you want if you try.
I started off by writing basic text adventure games and quickly moved off to writing graphical games using the DRAW command. Of course, that method was too slow to be useful. My cousin had wrote a pcx to bsave utility and he let me use it, which paved the way to all the games I wrote while I was in middle school and junior high. By the time I gave up on qbasic I was in the middle of a game that had a wireframe 3d engine, played digital sound if you had a sound blaster soundcard, and had vesa support. It was slow, but it was interesting to see how far qbasic was able to go.
Its a shame no braindead scripting language comes with windows now
Other messanger servieces such as Gaim and Trillian have had encryption in for a while now.
i'll bite. Gaim and Trillian are not services, they are clients that connect to the AIM service. Gaim and Trillian are used by a small portion of users. Personally, I prefer AIM over gaim or trillian mostly due to looks. Now if AIM has native support in their clients, then _all_ users can benefit, not a small handful
[firewall]
allow all outgoing connections
allow any established incoming connections
deny any incoming connections
[NAT box]
forward all outgoing connections
forward any established incoming connections
deny any incoming connections
hmm looks like nat boxes can be used as a poorman's firewall. now if you want to implement state based rules or other goodies, this is were the firewall steps ahead.

How to Become A Spammer
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
I was one of the first people to bring spam to AOL. I wrote a program that would jump from chat room to chat room all day and just collect screen names. I would let the program run while I was at school and usually over night (only had one phone line, V.FAST baby). I sold the addresses to businesses and collected a pretty penny while in high school. My mom never believed where I was getting the money and thought I was selling drugs:\ My days of spam came to an end when I found something else to occupy my time. In fact, I never saw spam as something cool.. just an easy way to make money at the time
While I'm sure this has been done long before I came up with it, i'm going to still tell my story.. When I first got to college a little under 3 years ago I started getting hit with spam. So, I wrote a script that sent a challenge/response email to the user who sent me mail. All of my friends/family/ebay bidders responded, never a spammer. My name is dknj, I've been spam free for 3 years.
Uh, hate to burst your bubble, but every frame on an audio cd has error correction information. Have you ever looked at a cd and noticed slight wear and tear scratches on it yet when played it magically never skips?
(a) Its not an emulator because it does not have to emulate anything, when you run a windows program its the actually program doing its thing. Relevant Example: Freebsd does not have a Linux Emulator, it has Linux binary compatibility much like how Wine works.
(b) Doesn't Oracle say something like you can't run Oracle for Linux on any other operating system (mainly to stop people from running it on FreeBSD)? I remember this the case a few years ago...
Usually they take out the back seat and put a custom shell with some sort of giant lcd or monitor and subwoofers next to it with a vcr, dvd player, or ps2 facing out towards the trunk. Go to import car shows, you'll see what i'm talking about.
Now, my goal is to take my car (95 protege) and put a v6 engine in it. Not to race my car or to 'rice it up', but just to learn about cars in general. I'll post pictures when I start
I have a 19" Princeton LCD at work that I play games and watch movies on. I don't really see a major difference from my 21" monitor right next to it. The fact that I have to keep my lcd so far away from me (damn CRTs have corrupted me) makes me keep my 21":)
My mom's ISP, RCN, does control the content that flows over "their" wires... I quote from the Internet Access Agreement:
(m) Scrolling. You agree not to cause the screen to "scroll" faster than other subscribers or users are able to type to it, or any action to a similar disruptive effect on or through the Access Service.
Usually I just skim through the TOS to find my unlimited download and upload limits and find crazy lines like the one above.
Looks like someone forgot about the Dreamcast... How much do you want to bet when Xbox is yesterday's game console, everyone's mentality will be "Time to get Linux booting on Xbox!"

b) I understand Windows 2003 Server doesn't give out CALs automatically to Win2K clients anymore, so you're out of luck if you upgrade to Win2K3.
Wrong.
