So? What they are doing is waiting untill they know the service packs are reliable before applying them. It happened with SP4 (or was it 5). The pack was recalled within a week of release due to major bugs. If you want good uptime you don't want to be running the first service packs off the boat. Wait untill they've been tested in practice treke

Using FAT16 you are limited to 4 gig, under FAT 32 I believe the upper limit is around 2 terabytes treke
Don't take this at as a troll comment, but telling him to add the features isn't very usefull. I'm sure there are many people that like a particular feature of IE over netscape or mozilla, so they use IE. I for example like the way IE pops up quicker than netscape or mozilla( I know it adds overhead, but my machine can take it). If the features of IE were available in mozilla or netscape I'd use them, but they arent. I dont have the skill to add the feature I'd like, and I don't have the time to learn them. treke
Students do still need to learn how to add because it gets them past the calculator side of math. My calculator can do all the math I need for my calculus class, and just about everyone there has one, does that mean I dont need to learn differentiation? Is that too high level, where is the line drawn? Starting with the simple task of addition and subtraction lays the ground work for the later courses. How do you teach someone to add to add two derivatives together if they dont know how to add other than using a calculator. treke
I'd agree with that, but wasn't hotmail run by another company before MS bought it? I doubt MS would go throught the trouble of writing the software for NT. treke
We could only hope for a 100% win32 compatible version of linux. Think of the conversions if people who can't get ports of their software could still use it, yet have the benefits of linux.
Word and Excel are "useless bullshit"? They are products that work for the most part. Microsoft my not make the best product in the world, but the fact of the matter is that they are popular. What would you prefer be taught? Maybe the problem isn't teaching someone to use the microsoft software, but teaching them only to use the microsoft software. Schools should expand computer eductation to teach systems like Linux/Unix, but most people don't care about that. They want to be able to check email and type papers. Just my 2 cents
Does this mean there won't be any desktop version of OS/2? Will they keep the Server version? Is IBM going to produce a different product instead?Sorry if it's in the Usenet artical, but my news server really sucks.
I'd consider this a valid news story. Just look at how full the message boards are and you'll see there are a lot of people using them. Since these people use the boards they ought to know how the boards work, which means Rob should post the information. The news is the obvious place for news about Slashdot, so that's where it goes.
This seems like a truly incosiderate idea. People who have lost someone close need to try and accept the loss and move on. Having a computer that can simulate the life is not the way to do that. In the long run it will just cause pain even if it does soften the blow over the short term.(although I doubt it could do that) We definitly need to stop using technology just because we can, it should be a means and not and end in itself.
I'm not quite getting your idea, what would be the purpose of giving someone a +1 score for completely removing record of who posted. Isn't this basically the current Anonymous Coward? Come to think of it why do why need two Anonymous settings?
There is also the oppsitie extreme also, what about modem users who usually receive a new IP address every time they logon? Someone can set up more/. accounts and just access through a modem. I think the IP banning should be removed, I think it will probably just hurt people like haggar and will do little to stop ACs.

Actually, you don't need to pay the license fee if you use tools that are licensed to create the images.

Well, I was proven wrong. Guess MS did try porting hotmail to NT. thanks for all the people who calmy corrected me

You can use AOL on NT. Not the 32 bit version though. Try AOL 16 bit. It seems to work.
I can accept that. I haven't followed the trial very closely
Is there any doubt that 2000 is not based on the 95 codebase? It's clearly NT based.

Hey! I like the beige box. Maybe once these fancy boxes become popular my plain box will make me stand out from the crowd :)

This would be fine for the people with static ips, but I would guess that a majority of posters are modem users with dynamically assigned ips.
