WHAT?!?!? The Pentium M is based upon Intel's old P6 (Pentium Pro/II/III), with major modifications.
It uses the Pentium 4's quad pumped bus and SSE2. What DEC tech does it use?
Now, in the AMD corner, it's another story. The K7's bus was Alpha's double pumped EV6 bus, and I've heard that HyperTransport is the latest version of the EV67 bus, but I haven't seen anything to prove that.
It was to be the NexGen Nx686, but they decided they couldn't compete against Intel, AMD, Cyrix, and IDT, and AMD needed some help in design, so they bought out NexGen, and the Nx686 design was retrofitted to Socket 7, and released as the AMD K6.
SCO claiming the GPL wasn't a valid license is the same as me or you clicking "I Disagree" in the installation of some Windows app.
The GPL specifically states that if you disagree, you can still use the app (something that installers for GPL apps need to fix), but you CANNOT distribute it, or derived works (I don't think you're even allowed access to the source if you disagree, but it's been a while since I've read the GPL).
Nvu is for OS X, too (OK, so you COULD build from source, but I don't see a binary)? I don't see that on the Nvu download page... I do see a link to download via Linspire CnR, download a tarball compiled on Linspire, download a Fedora Core 2 tarball, download a Windows installer, or build from source. OK, so you COULD build from source, but I don't see a binary.
FWIW, the Nvu web management stuff didn't work at all when I tried it (granted, it was the Windows version, and it was all the way back at 0.17).
And just how do I do this? I went through the menus, and looked for something like a.mosaicrc or something like that (I actually looked at every file starting with.mosaic in my home directory - nothing of interest, just history and stuff like that).
BTW, I did notice that Mosaic had UA spoofing capabilities, but no alternate UAs were available.
SillyDog701's Netscape Archive said that it was for "Linux 1.2". He also had Linux elf binaries. It probably was an a.out binary. Here's what I get when I try to run it:
It's obviously not the problem I had with Quake not playing nice with the fact that I didn't have libc5, because it didn't say it couldn't find the file...

Tried 1.1N Linux X11, and it won't run. Reading the README, I found that it appears to need X11R5 - meaning a version of XF86 OLDER than 3.1 (4.3 here).
Also, it's not an ELF binary, it's a kernel 1.2 binary. That might also explain why it doesn't run on 2.4.22-10mdk...
I've got 2.7 beta 5 running on my Linux box, and it seems that almost any dynamic page it'll ask me to download a binary file. WTF?
If you want to try, it's the static-motif version you want, as lesstif doesn't seem to be compatible.
I'm going to play around with old X11 versions of Netscape, and see what happens. I DO know that old Win16 versions often won't load pages that declare a character set (Evolt goes back to 0.4, BTW).
Crank it down to monochrome, and fire up a browser (didn't want to start a second Opera instance, and Dillo doesn't run on WiredX properly so I chose Konq).
MAN, is that ugly...
I'm tempted, though, to try to make an Apple II X server. I don't know how to do the networking (obviously not Ethernet, as I've got a//c), and I'd have to make my own WM, but...
http://www.yaromat.com/macos8 (IIRC) is a prank that works on at least IE and Opera. It's got much of the functionality of your link, and it because it's pure JavaScript+DHTML, no XUL, it works fine on Opera or IE.
I remember using it over dialup via an OS/2 box, the last Corel Office for Java box ever on the web. It was DOG slow on a Celeron 466 with 64MB RAM and Windows 98, and HP preloaded software.
It wasn't that stable, either, and the year was 10102 or something REALLY off like that (2002).
Is it the Windows or Unix version? If so, I'm interested. I've got a PMMX 233 with 96MB RAM. That should be JUST what it was designed for;-)
No. AOL 9.0 Optimized and NetZero HighSpeed just do server-side compression, and then it's decompressed on your end. If a site implements mod_gzip, or is serving compressed files, you get no speed benefit.
AOL, however, also uses the ART image format (speed boosting or not) by default (has been for years). It's a drastically reduced quality format.

It's a Speak 'n Spell inspired app. Unfortunately, it doesn't play nice with Wine. Fortunately, it WILL spit out a.WAV that you can then put through, oh, your menu system (for ultimate torture, use the Telemarketer Torture Asterisk PBX script and a Linux PC running Asterisk PBX with WAVs recorded with the text recommended by the script) - SCARE people.
Also, this one IS pretty classical. I remember it being around in 1998. I don't remember it being QUITE as good as it is now (it is copyrighted 2003, so it's been updated).
Listen to Charles, though. It gets the "Paging Hugh Jass" part almost right (none get it totally right), but the "check the bathrooms for a Hugh Jass" sounds like "check the bathrooms for a Huge Abutt". Is it intentional, or is it just I'm hearing it wrong.
Well, nice try at humor, but EAS is text (which is converted to audio) and audio only.
Yeah, you can send out a civil emergency EAS from Bush saying "I broke into the Emergency Alert System, and I'm BUTT NAKED!", but they won't see your naked ass, and, with the way most TV stations (at least in my area) are, EAS messages aren't broadcast - they read it, and then have their meterologist set up an alert (rarely are there non-weather EAS messages in my area, and Amber Alerts they just put a ticker on with their own text). However, radio stations almost always broadcast EAS.
BTW, leave out the cities with the lowest technology densities - you can only broadcast to 32 states (if you're broadcasting nationally), and if you're broadcasting in one state, it's 32 counties max.
They're used for ALL instances of severe weather, and they're supposed to be used for national alerts. Amber Alert (child abduction alert system) is implemented in most states via EAS, according to Wikipedia.
Try a radio. I've found that TV stations will simply overlay the broadcast with more useful info than EAS (audio only) can possibly provide, and they don't even broadcast the monthly EAS tests anymore. Radio stations, though, broadcast just about every EAS alert that affects their listening area.

Their performance is WAY subpar. Intel has some even neater processors in the Pentium M CPUs.

Oh, yeah? Well, Opera's 0.34 better than Netscape! (I'm only running 7.53, though - a couple days after I updated, 7.54 came out :-#)

Of course, this TTS engine has been around since at least 1998.
IIRC, it was pretty damn good back then, too. It just took a LOT longer to load.
