The OS requires that some kinds of dialog be exactly the same size as the screen, so yes there is a limit.
I suspect that the "65536 colours" actually refers to the capabilities of the LCD, and that they will be driving a 16-bit LCD from an 8-bit bitmap and palette.
Window messages used to have two parameters, a word and a long-word which could encode integers or (16-bit) pointers. In Win32 these are given the types WPARAM and LPARAM, and they are both 32-bit. In Win64, WPARAM and LPARAM are both 64-bit. The names don't make much sense any more, but as long as you use them you'll be OK.
There are a whole lot more named types. If you use the right ones then you shouldn't have any trouble. If you use MFC then it'll pretty much take care of that for you. It's the application programmers that screw this up.
And MFC is surely the canonical example of a grossly non-standard hack of a "C++" library. Non-Microsoft compilers that support MFC tend to mandate special command-line switches to enable the necessary compatibility kluges.
If neither GCC nor VC++ has IA64 support, er, how exactly do you think Linux has been ported to IA64, and how is Microsoft porting Windows 2000? I think GCC and Linux for IA64 are available to the public already, though I could be wrong.
They don't filter out IP-based virtual hosting, but they do filter out DNS-based (HTTP/1.1) virtual hosting. Guess which popular web server didn't support the latter until recently? Yes, it's IIS, on Windows. So that will skew those results a bit.
In the minds of firewall vendors and system administrators, CORBA traffic is unsafe but HTTP traffic is safe. I have a suspicion that the real purpose of SOAP will be to subvert firewalls. The developer who "knows what he's doing" will go and expose his naked objects to the world via SOAP, believing in security through obscurity.
That's an MUA, not an MTA. The generic mail interface is the "sendmail" command. MTAs other than sendmail provide their own version of this command, taking most of the same options as sendmail (and possibly ignoring some of them).
Whether or not aspartame is carcinogenic, the real hazard is that aspartame gives off methanol when digested (which is then converted into formaldehyde, apparently).
Type
cd "c:\program files"
and the logical thing will happen.
Unless your current directory is on a different drive, in which case it won't. For DOS compatibility, the command prompt maintains a separate current directory for each drive.
Ironically enough, for a lot of those file names, typing
cd c:\micros~1
would be easier. Unfortunately, NTFS is a "real" file system, so that won't work if you're using it (as I am on my NT system).
Yes it will. All Win32 file-systems have to support both short and long filenames, for compatibility with 16-bit programs. Type "dir/x" to see them.
Yes, US cars are on average hugely faster than those sold in europe.
I think they're just built for typical US urban roads, which have a stop sign about every 10 yards. In Europe we use roundabouts. You should try them some day.
The Embedded Visual Tools, if that's what you mean, are free to download now. Or at least they were when my boss got them a few weeks back. We haven't been billed for the copy we ordered earlier on CD.
This won't work at all. The composite numbers representing the messages (actually Goedel numbers) will be much longer than the original message. Then, the harder you look for a prime with a short factorisation, the larger and longer the offset will be. This might work as a compression mechanism, but I really don't believe it's likely to achieve the 10000:1 compression you think.
XFree 4.0 supports multiple colour models (or whatever they're called in X-speak) on a single display. So you can have clients happily using 8-bit indexed colour and 24-bit direct colour on the same display. As for resolution, I'm not sure I see the problem.
What you see there are mostly vector icons. They can be drawn with anti-aliasing using the GNOME canvas, so they should look fine at any size - unlike scaled bitmaps.
SMS messages sent from one mobile phone to another are charged to the sender. Some messages generated by the provider are charged to the person receiving them - for instance, I think I can ask my provider to send me messages about sports results or news headlines. I seem to remember them telling me I now had an email gateway to SMS, and that they would charge me for receiving messages through that. If that is the case, and I ever do get spam that way, I will certainly complain! What puzzles me is how/why these SMS gateways operate without charging either sender or receiver...

Just like "free" ISPs, "free" mobile phones, "free" cable/satellite TV installation...
Read the FAQ for the NYU. It says that the "VitalBook" will continue to be usable after the student graduates.
They are required to buy certain textbooks, which is hardly unusual. They have the option to buy them in paper or electronic format.
Doesn't this only work in a single processor system?
If by "firewall" you mean "apply legal threats to stop anyone peering with Krygystan" then, yes.
So you use a DOS extender, like most DOS applications seem to have been using for the last 8 years or so.

The Register reports on how the bill was finally passed. A fine example of democracy inaction.

This is such a neat feature that Windows 98 and 2000 have it too (at least according to the docs).

Make that "a number with a short factorisation", not "a prime...". Like duh!
