The only reason GUIDs were in office docs in the first place was so that they could be uniquely identified in Index Server; it allows weeding out of dupes.
Oh, very funny. Now explain why this is at all useful when the same GUID is used for all revisions of the document. That could be hundreds, since plenty of Office users copy existing (possibly blank) documents rather than learning how to use templates.
A typical example of broken MS scripts (and I am using IE4!). I can't see any content on the page at all, nor any links to anything of obvious interest.
The way I remember it the Amiga OS looked amazing for the time and wasn't at all buggy.
AmigaOS was effectively in beta until OS 1.2. OS 1.3 was mostly a bug-fix release (though there were extras on disk). It didn't get really stable until 2.0.
Dave Haynie designed and implemented the Amiga's Zorro III and was working on its successor in the late days of Commodore. When he discovered PCI, he knew that there was no point in creating Zorro IV since PCI would be at least as good and much cheaper. If you don't believe me, ask him yourself. He's not hard to find.
In the PC/SVGA world, there are no comparable elegant means of doing anything; no room for neat hacks and intelligent tricks.
VGA supports planar modes up to 16 colours. Current PC graphics chips have graphics coprocessors with similar abilities to the copper (only much faster). What you miss is the ability to access these directly without a driver getting in the way.
I don't follow. The PowerPC accelerators have sold in tiny numbers (I remember a figure of only 7,000 after nearly a year), and have been dogged by battles over competing OS extensions (WarpOS vs PowerUP). There is plenty of talk about other PowerPC accelerators (Escena, JoeCard, etc) but as yet these products are vapour.
The accelerators that do exist have a very slow memory bus and no level-2 cache. They are not quality products. The only person I know reasonably well that bought one of these found that it no longer worked after he loaned it to Carl Sassenrath (Rebol and ex-AmigaOS developer) for a while!
I know the Amiga Intuition scrollbars have the wrong aspect ratio, but what do you expect after all these years with no development?
They've been wrong since 1990 (OS 2.0), when everything else became scalable and the OS became able to handle arbitrary screen modes (rather than the 4 OCS ones and possibly A2024 modes. There were a further 2 years of development after that in which major features such as locale and datatypes support were added.
I have to say that it doesn't work like that. SetFunction lets you replace a library function, and is meant for fixing bugs. Any "improvement" risks destabilising the system. Furthermore, removing patches safely is very difficult, and few if any programs do it properly.
Furthermore, it is not always possible to change the internal behaviour of the OS by patches to external interfaces. When I patched a couple of AmigaGuide bugs, I found that I could only do so by modifying the existing machine code. Thankfully AmigaGuide gets loaded into writable memory.
What a piece of clap trap! If you were a real Amigan you would know that Amiga is making what Jay Minor the father of Amiga wanted.
That's Miner.
Also, do really thing that by AmigaOS5 it would still by useing the same system? Even back at C= it was said 4 would be the between stage and 5 would be 100% new.
Er, C= died long before OS 4 was mentioned. These labels were announced on 15 May 1998 by Amiga Inc (and then shortly revised).
Since you obviously dont know anything about the subject I suggest you do some research.
One should also know that the AmigaOS was written on a VAX.
It was mainly developed on Sun 2s using an assembler and the Green Hills C compiler. Parts of it are still built using that compiler! I don't know what you think was developed on a VAX. Perhaps TRIPOS (from which AmigaDOS was derived)was available for the VAX? TRIPOS is, however, a TRIvial Portable OS, so I don't see that that's important.
Bad spelling is the reason why we have spell checkers.
No, spell-checkers are there to catch typos. If you don't know how to spell words, then you can't decide which, if any, of the spell-checker's suggestions is correct.
You mean, it's the fastest static web server for a LAN. For dynamic serving over the Internet to dial-ups, as real high-end web servers do, it will perform quite differently. Oh yes, and most real web servers use logging, yet in benchmarks logging is often turned off. Do you still think the numbers mean much?
So, Apache/Linux is half as fast as IIS/NT in this situation. Fine, that's good enough.
Oops, there's yet another error there. It was Ken Thompson that originally wrote Linux (with Dennis Ritchie becoming involved later. Kernighan and Ritchie are responsible for the C language.
Yes, you can remember everything from your long term memory. It seems to use some sort of dynamic compression, the information being compressed when you sleep (that's why sleeping 'clears' our mind). When using some kinds of hypnosis, you can 'recall' all that info.
You can reconstruct it, but the details are unlikely be correct. It's lossy compression.

You can do that if you're truly stupid. Sensible people will get bzip2'd patches rather than gzip'd tarballs.
To a first approximation, no-one uses Unix clients.

I'd like to see just how well NT would do serving NFS.
We're doing this at work, and it sucks rocks. Not in terms of speed, but in terms of actually implementing some semblance of Unix semantics. I don't know which NFS server is being used though; there might be better ones.

You can use smbclient, which works similarly to a command-line FTP client. Under Linux you can use smbfs to mount SMB shares onto your file-system.

The web page for the product says that it's only around 100 mW. They also have a data sheet there if you want to know the details.
FIPS has supported FAT32 for over a year. Look at the FIPS home page for the details.
I guess that'll be forever, then. The only reason this doesn't apply to Windows is that the functionality you really want isn't available at all...
Aaargh! It's supposed to be free speech, not free beer!

That's made from plants and animals too - just not the bits you'd typically choose to use for food.

Actually a PDP-7. Don't let the facts get in the way of a boring anecdote.
