Back during my first year in Uni ('95-'96) Lycos was _the_ search site and Yahoo was _the_ directory portal.
I ditched Lycos the following summer when a friend introduced me to Altavista. I used Altavista (altavista.digital.com back then) for searching for three years. I started using Google in '99. That's about when I stopped using Yahoo, too.
I find the level of debate in this thread really disheartening. People seem to have a strangely outdated view of christianity and religion as well as a lack of understanding about the basic tenets of christianity. You can't speak against fundamentalist christianity _and_ try to take apart the bible by interpreting it literally. If you want to argue with christians you should really find out what they believe first.
Take: "But such an attitude seems inappropriate for an All-Good, Loving God."
This may have _something_ to do with the fact that the story was written _before_ Jesus lived and spread the message about the all-good loving god. Jeez.
Try to consider the immediate context in which the story of the ark takes place in the bible, and it's meaning. The story is intended to illustrate a watershed (pun intended) in the relationship between man and god (the new covenant) whereby he promises not to wreak havoc on humans again.
Secondly, there's also the broader context of the old testament to consider. The whole idea of christianity is encapsulated in the new testament. The old testament (first half of the bible) is the historical background. Old testament, before Jesus: old relationship with god. New testment, after Jesus: new relationship with god.

Apart from the Quake series and the likes of Photoshop or 3D apps I doubt that an extra CPU would help much. Unless you play games on a machine that runs large background processes - the accounts dept's server or such...
Don't worry, we can still turn this into a - Windows vs Linux - Linux vs *BSD - America vs Europe - Conservative vs Liberal or - Everyone vs Mac flamewar
It's atrocious how Windows apps STILL don't get written for multiuser and low-privilege user environments.
Take for example Adobe's Photshop 7 and Pagemaker 7. These came out way after Win2K. You have to make their respective folders and registry entries world writable before they start working for normal users.
I'm not sure about the latest CS versions, but I have my doubts.
It would be like the government telling you how to "configure" your car, right? In England you have to take your car for an annual fitness test called an MOT. What's so wrong with that? They could do what ORDB does and contact you if your server is a spam magnet. So what?
How did they manage to put six carriers in five? Perhaps if you use NAT you can fit six integers in five... Or is it CCT (Chinese Carrier Translation)?
"Five key Chinese carriers, including..."
1. China Telecom
2. China Unicom
3. China Netcom/CSTNET
4. China Mobile
5. China RailCom
6. CERNET (China Education and Research Network)
"Including" even implies there are more... OK, sorry. I'm tired.
The story says it's useful as a client, not as a server. It doens't even have a hard disk.
If you could attach a decent monitor and a keyboard it could make an excellent, dirt cheap thin client. You could even run a terminal services client on it and use it in a Windows environment.
If those two conditions would be met I would seriously consider something like it for a classroom environment where I work. But alas...

Austr.... Nah, not worth it.
Unless I'm mistaken BIND puts stuff there. But then again I guess you could say zone files are data rather than configuration files.
Sandra Fox suggests slapping a road tax on modems since they are used to traverse the Internet information superhighway.
The article talks about land lines, so WLANs would be exempt? There is no link to the actual legislation so I can't read for myself.
What a POS anyway. Next thing you know they slap a road tax on browsers because you traverse the information superhighway with them.

Hitting up cursor twice will log you out instead of getting the Run prompt if you have the sign out option in the Start menu. :)
If there's a serious problem, and there obviously is here, it's always worth looking at other countries and see
a) if it's a problem there
b) why
c) how they avoid it
d) how they solve it

Love the bit about "4 dimensional graphics" in one of the ads.

The first even though their name stands for: Yet Another Hierarchically Organised Oracle?
You'll have a lot more titles than the current Gamecube selection.
There's another use for it.

I look forward to writing those shellscripts a character at a time using a gamepad. Like I don't get RSI from the mouse and keyboard as it is...
And using an ordinary TV for a screen? No thanks.
The same people who write MS corporate policy probably draw up US foreign policy. Supreme power and blatant intimidation. *ducks*
It's CAPITAL for Pete's sake!!! Aaaaaaaa!!!!!
These people are deliberately putting spelling mistakes in a spelling-related thread! They've discovered my weakness! I'm done for.
Must have been designed by a Mac-using pixel shunter who's never reduced a browser window to smaller than 1600x1200.
Just an infinitesimal correction to the grandparent post. It's "with prejudice".
I'm laughing because I just saw this site.
