2. How much does Gmail cost?
Gmail is a free service and includes 1,000 megabytes of storage with each account. However, Gmail is still in preview mode as we test it to work out the kinks. So for now, it's not generally available.
Microsoft Windows: A thirty-two bit extension and graphical shell to a sixteen-bit patch to an eight-bit operating syste
If you're referring to Windows 9x/Me, you're right (up until you say patch - it's a 16-bit clone of CP/M, not a 16-bit patch to CP/M). However, NT/2K/XP/2K3 are thirty-two bit rewrites of a sixteen-bit operating system (OS/2), with a total rewrite (and full redesign in 4.0 and up - partial redesign in 3.x) to the GUI system.
Actually, I bet a Java implementation could run on an Apple II, but it would REALLY strain it (well, maybe not a IIGS, but that's cheating, as we now have to compete against this "project"). You might even get it to run on a non-souped-up//e Enhanced or//c, but it would be dog slow, and a Profile would help A LOT. However, if a J2ME implementation that supports the LANceGS is released for any Apple II model, we've got full internet access via ReqWireless WebViewer. We'd almost have to have a ProFile for this (or a floppy RAID - it's been done on Mac OS X, but we'd have to design a custom controller, and it'd show up as a ProFile to the OS...)
Reports say that they contain a JPG of a fish. Not very useful, if you ask me. (The creator does claim that it's hidden with steganography in the image, but...)
Gotta get coding, if I can port DOS 3.3 to my 8bit NES
Should be fairly easy, Apple DOS 3.3 was written for the 6502, same as used in the NES. You'd just have to engineer some custom chips for the cartridge so that you can use Apple floppies, and expand RAM.
Phoenix will be introducing such software with their new laptop DRM BIOSes, some laptops come with it, and there is a commercial app. However, it needs a network connection to work.
Alright, so they're litigious, and they're definitely bastards, but it's definitely the RIAA that fits this term best. MUCH more litigious (look at all the lawsuits they're filing, and if you combined them, it'd probably be more money if they won than the same for SCO), and they're more bastards than SCO by a LONG shot.
I meant right lane as in right half of the road. It's recommended that you stay in the rightmost lane if possible; it's required that you stay in the right half of the road unless you are passing on a two lane road or are on a one lane road, in which case you'll take your share of the middle...

They actually didn't shit-can it until NT4. The MIPS version (AFAIK) got shit-canned as 2000 went into alpha, and Alpha got shit-canned as 2000 was coming out of alpha. Itanium came into the picture between Whistler (AKA WinXP) alphas and W2K final, and some W2K Itanium alphas exist (they obviously got shit-canned, and the tech went into WinXP 64-bit for IA64).
I distinctly recall reading that it was a Lucent WinModem. However, IIRC, the reviewer couldn't get it working under RedHat, even with some Lucent drivers for Linux.
You'd better read the April issue of PCWorld if you at all care about keeping support. Due to outsourced support, some parts of tech support don't know that company policy is to not support two operating systems... whoops!

If it's what I think it is, then Intel has been doing this since the 80386 (try VMWare, which uses your box's CPU in this way, then Bochs, which emulates an x86 CPU), Motorola (and therefore IBM, because of the AIM alliance) has been doing this since the PPC 601 (Mac-on-Linux only runs on PPCs, pretty damn obvious here, isn't it?), and it just goes on and on.

Following those directions is chip fabrication. He just designed a chip, and told you to how to fabricate it.
If history holds true, it's a Lucent WinModem. It's obviously got some form of Linux support, as it definitely worked under Lindows when Wal-Mart first started selling the Microtel Linux boxes.
Actually, now HP computers specifically DON'T come with a restore CD. It's just a restore partition, which if it gets wiped or there's a HDD failure, you need to pay $13 s&h for a restore CD set (WTF?!?). Won't buy HP ever again - my old Pavilion 6535 had a PSU failure and two mobo failures, and HP's now doing this... HOMEBUILT ALL THE WAY (I'm even trying to develop a laptop standard, so I can homebuild that!)
RTFC. He said five-finger discount. I know lots of n00bs will ask their friend for their Win98SE CD, when the "expert" in the family says that they need Windows.
Windows 2000 vs. XP? Hmm... 2000 is faster, XP has more features... Myself, I'd dodge out of that one and say I run Mandrake, but for the n00b, I'd say 2000 if they're fairly familiar with their 98 box, or XP if they want the flashy features or need the hand holding.
Get out of the Easton store (AFAIK, it's now a SuperCenter), and go to the Reynoldsburg, Lewis Center, or Newark SuperCenters.
The aisles are a problem with every Wal-Mart, though. However, they do help traffic flow, so people don't pass in the middle. If I get stuck behind someone, I just dodge across the "median", and pass them, unless there's someone on the other side coming. However, I've found that people don't shop in Wal-Mart like they drive, and don't stay in the right lane except for passing...
You forgot SuSE. BTW, when did they offer FreeDOS boxes?
Their barebones, Linux, and ultra-cheap Windows boxes are all under the Microtel brand, and Wal-Mart is the largest Microtel reseller (as in, Microtel isn't a Wal-Mart brand, but Wal-Mart probably sells 99.9% of Microtel PCs).
Except for the fact that the dvortyboard is wired to send the correct scancode when used in Dvorak mode, the Model M would do the job. Your dvortyboard looks like a cheap membrane keyboard, and the Model M is a REAL keyboard. I don't think it would be too hard to get keys printed up for it...
I recently had to rearrange a Dell QuietKey or two because the animals got bored and took a screwdriver to them, and switched the keys. Unlike a Model M, not all the keys are QUITE the same shape, though.

Mac-on-Linux, not Linux. MoL only runs on PPC Linux, it doesn't run on m68k Linux.
They didn't look that thick to me - my clicky keyboards have to be the REALLY clicky ones - like the Model M, for instance.

So it's kinda like VMWare running inside the BIOS, rather than on a host OS, and taking full advantage of SMP or HT, then?
