My.co.uk address is still stuck on 6Mb - although I have been getting free POP access ever since they started charging.com accounts for it, so it's not all bad news.
The simpler solution would be for them to get a clue.
I run Windows and there is only a single (known) exploitable security vulnerability - and that's only because Microsoft won't release a patch for it and the workaround is too messy for me to want to bother with it as I'm not stupid enough to fall "cleverly crafted" URLs.
Windows can be almost, if not as secure as Linux or OSX if you just know what you're doing and keep up to date with the patches.
You get everything or nothing: I can't decide just to have the web browser and html editor: but I'd rather use my existing email app so I don't want that taking up resources on my machine.
Yes you can - you just select "Browser" during the install process and deselect the other components. It's really not that challenging.
They might do OK on the singles. They may be a rip-off relative to the US prices, but they're still a hell of a lot cheaper than buying singles in the shops. Last time I looked it was 3.99+ for a CD single containing 1 track and a couple of shitty remixed.
With Play.com selling albums for 9.99, 8.99 and even 5.99, however, I can't see many people paying up for Napster.

Yes, but it comes with a lovely annoying watermark that sits on your videos for 10 seconds or so every time you play them - and not just one DivX encoded files, that would be too easy, it does it on just about every file that DivX can play back (Including Xvid, amusingly, if you installed DivX more recently).
Due out slightly after the IDE version. Mind you, there's no performance reason to go with SATA, which is probably why the uptake of SATA optical drives is so slow.
At which point the EU turns around and says "Fine by us, most of us are already moving to OSS anyway". Microsoft then realise they've just created an entire continent in which they have no power.
As I've just realised, www.television-series.com is hosted by Web1000.com, who have a lovely habit of redirecting users from non-US countries to crappy advert sites, usually porn.
If they didn't insist on integrating all of their products so heavily into Windows then it wouldn't take them 6 months to work out if their new patch broke anything.
So do I, but I want to be able to choose which browser and media player it comes with - and other people want to be able to choose not to have one or the other, or both.
I accidentally pointed this out in the original article about 98 being phased out.
Namely: Extended Support: June 30, 2002 - January 16, 2004 (Extended hotfix support ends June 30, 2003. After January 16, 2004, this product will be obsolete and assisted support will no longer be available from Microsoft. Online self-help support will continue to be available until at least June 30, 2006.)

Whereas by misreading the name of the processor, you're just begging for abuse...

Still, who could forget Eccentrica Gallumbits?
Duh, we're geeks, of course we really need all this speed.
Exactly, how are we supposed to back up our hundreds of gigs of warez quickly and efficiently without faster DVD burners?

Blah, blah, source code, blah, blah, Linux images, blah, blah, porn, and soforth
Plextor claims that the drive will write at 12x on its branded 8x media and it's quite possible that it'll do so on other media too if you're lucky.
SATA Version here.

European Page sans-flashing.
You'll also note that us lucky non-US customers get a 2-year On-Site collect and return warranty. Woo!
Slashdotting the US Senate webserver - that's got to be a new high point for /.

See the tiny flaw in your plan?
I wouldn't count on it, the Deus EX: IW config files are full of Thief 3 references.
I smell another xbox port.
I always liked the Marvin from the Illustrated HHGTTG.
Actually, I liked the Zaphod & the Trillian too.
Actually, it's neither.

These are probably the images he's referring to.
windows 2000 source code.zip - 203.85Mb
All the images of 2000 Pro I can find are at least 350Mb, so it's probably pushing it to get that down to 200Mb in the source.
Maybe this will be the event that helps people to realise just how dangerous it is to be so reliant on a single vendor.
While there are good and bad aspects to this, I think I'm going to put my windows boxes into lockdown if & when the rumour is confirmed.
