I'm still waiting for a document viewer that just shows a piece of paper (the document) on the desktop with no application visible at all - that's document centric
What you want is the Canon Cat, designed by Jef Raskin.
Actually, the Santa Cruz Operation became Tarantella, which was recently bought by Sun.
The current entity calling themselves "The SCO Group" is what used to be called Caldera. They bought *something* from Santa Cruz (definitely their Operating Systems Division) and some sort of assets (but they can't produce the purchase agreement), and changed their name from Caldera to SCO. Allegedly this was for name recognition/branding, but apparently was really to sow confusion for their lawsuits.
NT4 actually had a (not very functional) POSIX subsystem. It was needed to get certain government contracts that specified POSIX. The POSIX subsystem was removed/deprecated in Win2K.
However, it completely ruins the business model of music distribution to allow for anonymous, limitless music sharing.
Heinlein put it best.

There has grown up in the minds of certain groups in this country the notion that because a man or a corporation has made a profit out of the public for a number of years , the government and the courts are charged with the duty of guaranteeing such profit in the future, even in the face of changing circumstances and contrary public interest. This strange doctrine is not supported by statute nor common law. Neither individuals nor corporations have any right to come into court and ask that the clock of history be stopped,or turned back, for their private benefit.
I can see it now, it's been 20,000 years and someone actually intercepts it, decodes it, and due to all the errors introduced the message comes out "We the following hostile lifeforms wish to destroy your race: [list of names] All Your Base Are Belong to US.A."
Well, to be honest, 20,000 (assume US meaning of comma) years from now, I doubt I'll be particularly concerned about anything.
I'd argue that Office 97 is good enough for anyone... EXCEPT FOR PowerPoint. PP XP/2K3 has some features that are missing in 97, mostly in the area of animations.
I'm still waiting for MS to fix what they broke between WfW 6 and Word97. Namely that lists implemented using styles don't reset when a header intervenes.
And then you're up all night dealing with the nightmares. I'm not going with the "it'll scar the kids for life" crap. I'm saying it'll scare the shit out of them tonight, and I don't want to have to stay up comforting them.
I learned to type on a manual, and with the exception of the Model M, I can't find a keyboard that I like. My wife complains that I pound the keys too hard, and she's right. I learned on an ancient Royal manual, and you had to press HARD on the keys. The habit stuck when I started using computers in the early '80s (adm3a terminals anyone?)....

So now you can Sue People who don't buy and use your products. Because they didn't buy and use their products.
Yep. It's been done. Bus line sues women for car-pooling.
Win2K had PAE, but only in the Advanced Server and above series. We had to test PAE mode to get our Fibre Channel drivers WHQL'ed.
Even better, look at the *SHAPE* of the 9's in 1,99 versus the 9 in the disk capacity.
Definite Photoshop.

In Korea, only old bots read slashdot?
Betamax had no restrictions, it just lost in the market.
I think you're talking about DIVX (the disk/player format promoted by Circuit City -- not the codec).
Thanks. I'd forgotten that Interix was the product, not the company.
I believe it was Interix (not InterOp as sibling post has it).

Yeah. Right.
"Hey, buddy, I've got some stuff for you. Let me just pack up my RAID volume, and I'll bring it over to your house!"
I think local computer stores were making a small fortune with the amount of floppy disks being bought.
<HUMOR>
You bought floppy disks? AOL sent me all the floppies that I ever needed!
</HUMOR>
Seriously, though, I bought high-quality floppies when data integrity was important.
I love conspiracy knotheads.
I love Buzz Aldrin's response to conspiracy knotheads.
Given NASA's track record, isn't it sort of inviting disaster to name your spacecraft "Phoenix"?
Yeah, because the Borg will come and attack it before you launch.
No, there are no B2 versions of NT. There are C2 versions... on specific hardware, with no floppy drive or net connection.

After you're past them, does saying "Fee Fie Foe Foo" get your money back?

According to IMDB, it's Moontrap.

"It didn't eliminate the painful lack of genuine purpose that many of us long for."
This isn't what the GGP meant, but Robert Burns put it best: "A man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for?"

Any other oldtimers with this problem?
QT just displayed blank pages for everything. Both in FF and in IE.
