Every download manager I've seen released in the past few years has had an option to resume HTTP downloads - NetAnts, Download Accelerator Plus, ReGet, FlashGet, DLExpert, Star Downloader, etc.
People have done more than just hacking drivers together, they've gone as far as to take the glide source and get it to compile in Windows and fix the XP problems, and also some have gotten ahold of the Direct3D code and updated it a bit. Here're some sites:
A "PCI bus device failure error" would be a hardware problem, and probably wasn't NT's fault. Sounds like it must have been a driver bug or maybe the device was failing...
There's a program for KaZaA/KaZaA Lite called Sig2Dat that allows you to get hashes for files, and when you paste them into the program's window it adds a.dat into your KaZaA downloads folder that KaZaA thinks is a non-started download of whatever file the hash was for, and so it finds it and starts downloading it. There are lists of hashes (and links and stuff for more info) at: http://www.k-lite.tk http://www.fasttrackmov ies.com
There's a patch for windows 95 out that fixes that bug, and I believe it is 49 days like you said. Only problem with installing patches on 95 is if you install too many of them the whole system gets messed up.:(
Actually nVidia owned the 3dfx.com website after they bought 3dfx's stuff and they shut it down AFAIK. (you can still get most any 3dfx driver from http://www.falconfly.de though)
If you mean you have an ATI card in your box and it refuses to run UT2003.. maybe you should try different drivers. I know many people with Radeon 8500's that run it currently.:)
When I tested it, slashdot wasn't blocked. In fact, it took me 5 minutes to find a URL that was blocked, and even then it fluctuated from blocked to unblocked and back randomly.
GTA3 looks nice, has a good plot (as far as I'm concerned), and still manages to run like ass on most computers. Now let me go figure out what I was trying to say there... lol:D
What type of soundcard do you have? I know that some (such as the built in codecs on motherboards) can take up a lot of CPU processing time to play audio, whereas better ones don't need as much. Sort of like Winmodems vs. Hardware Modems.
I know quite a few people who buy games and then crack them. Reason? They go to LAN parties, and don't want to bring their original CDs for all their games along with them, in case they're stolen. Of course, most people who use cracks probably do have warez copies of the games.
Then there are CD cracks that require a CD in the drive, but not necessarily the original (like the Sims.. I can run it from my backup CD with the crack but trying to run it with no CD with the crack results in the game not showing the mouse cursor).
If you have a fast enough machine to handle it, check out jDoom, and you can play Doom/Doom2/Any other WADS in full 3D, with 3D models replacing the old sprites also. The only minus to jDoom is right now it has pretty bad netcode so multiplayer isn't that good, but for playing regular Doom, it's great. =)
"Single pass multitexturing has once again been implemented on this chip. Its benefits include a much faster clock speed (143/166/183MHz over the previous 90/100MHz) and multitexturing has meant that the Voodoo3 architecture is fairly close to being a Voodoo2 SLI performer."

Have you tried AbiWord? It's quite a bit lighter than OpenOffice and might work better for something like that, if it's possible of course.

sounds like anarchy to me
The new "Secure Audio Path" thingy in the newer versions of Windows is aimed at keeping people from doing just that I think.
Like Rollcage Stage 2, or GTA3? Or Serious Sam? Need for Speed 5?
Not that confusing. Which games ya talkin about?
Yeah, good thing that Linux kernel thing only took 6 days.
:D
To compile, maybe.

What kind of videos? DivX? I know at least in Windows you can turn down some quality setting thingy to make it run better on slower computers. =)
If I remember correctly, quite a few TI graphing calculator games use this method to get greyscale on the TI's display.
Everyone used to tell me it meant "Spelled in Context"... whatever that meant.
It's fun here at 0 though! Don't have to worry about folks modding me down now. =)
I thought 2000 was when they started putting crap in the kernel. Or did that have something to do with video card drivers?
Probably both.

Just a tiny note here: NT doesn't use scandisk. You have to use chkdsk on it. I suggest running it like this:
chkdsk
That'll do basically what would be similar to a "Thorough" scandisk scan.

Not true. Voodoo3 does support multitexturing. Read this.
"As Voodoo2 does, Voodoo3 supports multitexturing, single-pass trilinear filtering and emboss bump mapping."
Or this.
"Single pass multitexturing has once again been implemented on this chip. Its benefits include a much faster clock speed (143/166/183MHz over the previous 90/100MHz) and multitexturing has meant that the Voodoo3 architecture is fairly close to being a Voodoo2 SLI performer."
