I'm about to 'retire' mine, and possibly upgrade. By 'retire' I mean, of course, continue to press into service in diminished capacity, since it still works, as it has - for year after year. Typical Apple.
Wish I could say that about a *single* PC I've ever owned. Cheap crack is still crack.
Shh... they don't need that sorta magic in the MS camp... by now they covet the reboot...

... been able to switch from both Windows *and* Linux hardware, to the tiBook.
I've been able to maintain a plenty good Linux fix with VPC 5.0, among other similar OS's. And the occasional Windows requirement, though I've officially ditched those files now.
VPC under OSX is very, very fun. Now all I need is a freakin' faster processor...
Freaked me out a bit, though. I was in that *same* exact boat myself during the 90's - soon-to-be-gf, life in a dumpy LA apartment, and naught but MAME to keep me company.
The longer you wait, the worse it will get for the case.
The fact is, you have broken the law, and others have broken the law.
There are very strict guidelines for how private records are supposed to be handled. The fact that you have encountered such a festering pool of criminality in this regard is something which needs to be brought to public light, immediately.
Don't waste any more time 'asking slashdot', just go straight to jail, do not collect $200, and do not pass Go.
They could just as easily find us incredibly delicious to eat live, yet also good to torture in diverse and terrible ways, for sexual - or 'other' - forms of pleasure.
The copy of Windows I have been using with VPC is the one that came with the last PC I owned, which I subsequently turned into a Linux box.
I paid for this Windows license, I see nothing wrong with using it under VPC to access files. I don't use this VPC session productively, other than to remove even more worth from it as time goes by, if/when I need to find something I haven't already moved over.
My point, since you missed it, is that the very tool that I'm using to perform a comfortable switch, done at my own pace rather than at the pace of Microsoft, is now under their control.
That's the point.
Incidentally, I also use VPC for Linux sessions, which I find to be extremely useful in my Linux hacking efforts.
If I can't keep doing that - doubtful, perhaps - then it'll only be because Microsoft deemed the ability to do so to be counter-Microsoft...
I 'switched' to OSX from Windows/Linux (though I still use Linux for many, many things) as my main use operating system because I decided I want *nothing* to do with Microsoft as a company any more. Zero. Zilch.
It's not politics.
I have seen this company grow from when it was just 3 folks burning BASIC ROM's to what it is now, and I am sick of their shit.
So, I want nothing more to do with them.
VirtualPC was a way for me to have nothing more to do with them, safely and comfortably, and still be able to get access to my Windows-specific data for the switch process.
Now that switch process - or at least, a key element of it - is under the control of the very company that prompted my switching in the first place.
Well, great.
Looks like there's a market for PC emulators... if Microsoft is willing to spend so much on one!!
I'm an Australian who lived in America for most of my life and there became a bandwidth junkie, but now I live in Germany.
The transition has been totally smooth. German Deutsche-Telekom sell flat-rate DSL, and it's pretty good in my region - at least as good as what I was used to in LA.
There is less after-market competition - i.e. small regional ISP's, but some parts of Germany have good regional nets. Not really here in the Ruhr, my understanding is that its mostly DT.
When the general public get sick of all the pop and 'reality' stars made for them, they turn to the underground, and this is where you'll find people who truly allow newstyles to flourish.
All this Hollywood stuff is for chumps. If you want real music, and real musicians, just look for the underground.

Really.
There's *still* nothing out there that can take my structs', parse them out to XML, then load them back again when needed, seamlessly.
The embedded sphere - where XML is *USEFUL*, and where *C* is *ALSO USEFUL* - has no chance with XML right now.
It's either libexpat and a monster callback module, or bust.
If you were forced off of tar, cpio and dump, what would you use as a replacement?
I'd use dd of course...
Doing so will *create* a file for you with the FBI if you don't have one.
What is that, some sorta ripoff?
No, of course not, its got nothing to do with Iraq.
...
It's whether or not some god-awful terrorist event happens again, perhaps in retaliation, or perhaps just at the 'right' moment in the crux of a war.
Problem is, in a land like America, it's not too difficult to engineer some sort of event to terrorize the nation. Apparently.
No matter which side you're 'on', Television has Won.
Americans have been bludgeoned soft to the traumas of typical life on most of the face of this planet
Heh heh.

Freakin' introspection...
Sorry, but in this business "$30/piece" is *NOT* cheap.
...
Wake me up when they're selling them at $1 a piece in quantities of 10k, then we'll see a revolution

In which case, we'd all be fucked.
So, lets just hope they're the nice kind, eh?
TXT is intended for such things as this. I seem to recall it was originally proposed for 'additional information about the domain'.
...
Seems more than appropriate for mirror information to me
What device, exactly, and how does it work?

No it isn't.
Never mind China doing it, how do we do it?
Damn, you beat me.

You are either a fool or arrogant to believe that by disclosing the source to something makes it more capable or secure.
Nothing wrong with arrogance.
Uh yeah, right.
Big deal.
I suppose you know all about the NTFS limitations by reading the source, too, eh?
... but the whole approach breaks the "don't ever build a box you can't back up" rule.
That's a lot of data to lose in one fell swoop. Must be a bitch to make backups.
There are some that say "once you leave the Underground, you can't go back" ... those people don't understand what an underground movement is ...
... and as a hobbyist musician I love articles like this.
When the general public get sick of all the pop and 'reality' stars made for them, they turn to the underground, and this is where you'll find people who truly allow new styles to flourish.

It's out there.
