    Nope. My wife has ALS and is on Medicare. It's specifically called out in the law as an exception to the "you must be 65" rule.

  15. It's a damn shame on Shareholder Fight Threatens Mandriva SA · · Score: 4, Informative

    I was a Mandrake/Mandriva guy for years. Before Ubuntu, it was THE "newbie" distro. It's still very user-friendly.

    Once all this uncertainty started about a year ago, I switched to Mageia, which is a community fork of Mandrake.

    I think we should file this under the "what could possibly go wrong" department.

    TFS says that the license is now GPL compatible, but that the codebase will no longer be GPL compatible.

    Or is it GPLv3 compatible only?

    Actually, it's WATFOR, and the next iteration will be WATFIV.

  24. Completely agree. on FreeDOS 1.1 Released · · Score: 1

    When I bought my Athlon (1.1GHz!!! 512MB RAM!!!!) in 2001, I insisted on Win2K pro instead of WinMe.

    I loved 2K. I liked it much better than XP.

    I ran 2K at home for about 7 years before I finally bought XP (pro). Went to Win7 Pro 64 when I upgraded my mobo/cpu/ram again.

    Unless, of course, your video capture card isn't supported by Win7 (or, alas, Linux -- Pinnacle Studio AV/DV).
