The only 32GB limit Microsoft imposes is the maximum FAT32 partition size you can create with Windows 2000 and higher. They can access bigger FAT32 partitions, just not create them.
How about when it's snowing far more than it has for years and you need someone to talk you through an unusual route so you can actually get home? I did that with my phone in speakerphone mode. After that I bought a hands free kit that supports voice dialing.
Took me four hours to get home that day, but officially the town was cut off and no-one could get in or out.
I hate zealots of all kinds, nice to see one shot down so effectively. Of course he could just be a troll.
To keep this on topic, there's no way I'd buy an iPhone with that sort of deal, I bought my last phone unlocked to avoid the things phone companies throw at their customers. Besides, my current phone plays MP3s and I rarely use it now I don't take the bus to work.
(Cue rant about people not using public transport.)
Unless I'm missing something I can't see why Windows needs the driver at all.
You only give it the driver during setup, once it's installed it can find the driver itself.
If it can't read the disk, where the hell is it getting the driver from?
It's accessing the disk to get the driver it needs to access the disk it's getting the driver from.:D
I'm guessing here, but I'd say it's a large amount of traffic in a small area. I've seen it happen on motorways (typically three lanes in each direction) when a truck overtakes another one very slowly and all the cars pile up in the other lane. Everything behind is forced to slow down and the congestion propagates back up the road behind them.
Too many cars?
Exactly.
Studies have shown that a shockwave occurs when the density of the traffic reaches a critical level. Unstable traffic speeds combined with sudden braking creates a shockwave which travels back through the traffic at about 12mph.
Drivers experiencing a shockwave find that they suddenly have to slow down, then a few moments later they can speed up again. The causes of this stop-start driving are varied, some are due to incidents, some are due to the physical layout of the road, such as traffic merging at a junction, and others appear to have no cause.
From here.
It's not a replacement for an enclosure, but every geek should have one. I've got a 3.5" - 2.5" converter to go with mine.
Now all I need is a USB - SATA adaptor. Anyone know where I can get one the the UK?
I had a Maxtor Personal Storage 5000DV barbeque. There are loads of horror stories about them, so I decided to roll my own.
I've now got a USB2.0/Firewire Safecom SUSB2-F35CAF enclosure which clamps the drive between two aluminium plates. It runs pretty damn cool and only cost £21. It does have a fan, but it doesn't need it.
Of course, I couldn't throw the Maxtor's perfectly good USB2/Firewire - IDE bridge away, so I attached a temperature controlled Antec 80mm fan to the enclosure. It's a lot cooler and not much louder.
You've completly failed to grasp my point. I never diminished the person I was talking to like you are trying to do now.
It seemed to me that you did. You seemed to be telling them that they can't see the obvious. Maybe I misinterpreted.
On the other hand I haven't actually said you are a bigot, merely that you came across as one.
You certainly felt like it was important enough to underline it in your last post. If you want to keep complaining about me not sharing your personal beliefs then go on.
Where have I stated my personal beliefs? Nowhere.
I've you think I'm pro-Windows then think again.
I'm sick removing viruses and spyware from PCs at work. Our patching policy doesn't help there, but we shouldn't need to do it at all.
Our single Mac has never been any trouble, but we probably have PCs which haven't either.
As it happens I agree with this comment, but I think you've over-stated it. With Windows the best you can get is that it works if you know exactly how to use it.
Windows does have advantages, but I won't go into them, there are plenty of comments which have already.
The bottom line is this:
Maybe you're a reasonable, rational guy with opinions based on experience, but you sure as hell don't sound like one.
You appear to be intolerant of any other opinion, which is a reasonable definition of bigot.
This line in particular: At first I thought you were kidding. In any case all you need to figure out why OS X outshines XP is to use OS X.
You've done little to change that impression.
And what? Does that make you better? Does that mean that speaking up your mind is wrong?
No, it means that my opinion on Mac/Windows isn't important to my post.
I'll speak my mind on the subject if you like. We can even add Linux to the melting pot.
I may as well say that you are a bigot too following your logic.
I didn't post an inflammatory comment as a fact. You did. That's why I said you came across as a bigot.
My second sentence was conditional on the first being true, although it wasn't explicitly stated. On the other hand, I see no evidence that you actually read it.
I am not the kind of person that enjoys having to reinstall an OS every few months, or clean it from viruses.
Evidently I'm either feeding a troll or arguing with a zealot. I'll stop now, unless you actually want a discussion and not an argument.
I just tested multiple copy jobs in Explorer on my 2000 box at work. No problem.
It does display the progress windows in exactly the same place, so the newest hides the others. That could be interpreted as one copy op at a time. They ought to be cascaded.
I recall 98 and ME work the same way, but I'm not sure about 95 and NT.
Go to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management and select Shared Folders from the tree.
There's a useful list. Click on the one you want to remove and stop sharing it.
Dividing Control Panel into normal tools and Administrative Tools is weird though. Some things seem (to me, at least) to be in the wrong place.
You may be right, you may be wrong, but you sound like a bigot.
I read your post as "I'm just right, my opinion is better than yours", so even if you are right, you're still wrong.
Note - no OS preference is mentioned in this post.

I can only answer questions when I know the answers. The rationale for such a brain dead decision is totally beyond me. :D

If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will tell me.

Seconded. Also FileMon or its replacement Process Monitor will tell you what's accessing your hard drive.
Nice to see Microsoft still support the BSOD screensaver although they don't let you have the password recovery utilities any more.
According to Wikipedia WinCE can BSOD, but I agree, Embedded is more likely.
WinCE will run on X86. Here's some info.

They must have introduced that in a recent patch. As in yesterday. I backed up on Monday with nary a floppy in sight.
I'll definitely be trying Cobian Backup as another poster suggested though.

Why would anyone need a car that travels at greater than 60 MPH?
Because the speed limit is 70 MPH?
Not an application, but how about the latest ATi Radeon drivers?
