Let's see.. back when I ran Win2k it crashed at least once a week... and over a period of a few months corrupted itself to the point where if I wasn't planning to move to Linux already, I probably would have had to completely reinstall. For one very annoying example, Windows Explorer didn't have a menu... oO
If there was a native Linux port of Nero, I know that I (and many people I know) would use it. As far as I've seen, none of the CD writer GUIs can compare with Nero. And I don't like the idea of burning from a console:p
30 minutes here... assuming they don't cap their upload speeds. I might have considered downloading it, but it looks like it's all requiring Microsoft stuff to play. Anyone know what video format it uses and if there's a X11/GNU/Linux player?
I found this very useful for cfdisking, formatting, compiling and setting up my new Linux system. Wish it had more different apps such as GNU Nano and MPlayer though... And an option to override the RAM limits (KDE works fine w/ only like 32 MB)
Only bad discs I have are ones that have cracked because I squeezed too many together once... The burner's probably got some issue though as it can't read any CD-RWs... though it can burn them just fine. (and because it can't read it, it disallows erasing them too:/)
Perhaps... the only things wrong with my PC is that it has overclocked RAM (100 MHz running at 133 >_) and it runs Windoze... the second of which won't be true very much longer.
Possibly the hard drive access time... I've found some of my files are too fragmented for 8x burning with a 14400 RPM partition (RAID-0)... or you could always cache the disc in RAM if you have enough...
Visual Basic sucks, but even still I have managed to run it via WINE once a while back... The install just needs to be fixed up a bit to get the "registry" settings right on it...
I got my friend (who doesn't know what a PCI card is) to try Linux. If Linux desktop had really failed, I doubt he would be making his new PC a 100% Linux system (which he is).
both systems are from the past. How about a nice design I made where there's: 1 day/normal day 16 hours/day 64 minutes/hour 64 seconds/minute 1024...something/second
Of course, we might want to remap this to replace 365 day/year too, but that might take a bit more work... Oh, and it's all UTC too. no more evil timezones.

If the server isn't online, it's not a 404.
Try 'cat *.mp3 >/dev/dsp' and you'll see why that won't ever be the case. :)
What is it with DOS 3.3? Why not DOS 2.2 or DOS 6.0?? WHY 3.3?!?!

food is bad... or is this more for artificial stuff?
Why?

How'd you accomplish that?
If they don't play underclocking much, then how would rename/upgrading of firmware make it any faster?
Don't suppose this goes for old Plextor writers does it?
Since when is IE free?

Do you HAVE to post this in every /. article? Or at least use have a link instead of a page (or more) of text...

CuteFTP Pro is also a resource hog and is very unstable.
Good idea... if only real languages are compiled then we can effectively declare English, Spanish, etc as non-languages :P

At the time of this posting, it is 8:27
erm... Nowadays I consider 256 MB RAM to be barely acceptable...
Why do so many things still have the Microsoft tax?
Actually, it's slashdot.org... Though I'd prefer if I could type /. in my browser to get here... ^_^;;;
