Doesn't apply here. There were no warnings on the phone that it might overheat if it is in your pants pocket - even if it's only got genuine Nokia components. There were "CAUTION: HOT!" warnings plastered all over the McD coffee cup.
Also he could use CrazyBrowser for the tabs (but no Google Toolbar, and maybe no popup prevention). And my pet peeve is how he COULDN'T GET THE FUCKING CALENDAR UP, OR EVEN LOOK UP WHAT DATE IT WAS FROM THE CLOCK! Last I knew, it simply involved mousing over the clock... yep, it's Friday, October 10, 2003, and with a double click, I've got date and time properties, which has (gasp) a calendar!
Try pre-alpha. I thought that there was a link on the Toasty Technology page's GUI sites section, but I was wrong. It IS possible to find it though, and his e-mail's lineback@toastytech.com - he must have a copy somewhere, seeing that he didn't credit it to someone, like he did Mac OS X.
Regedit is made by MS. So, if you're trying to get them out of a lawsuit, you fail it (and just got yourself in one too!) (and yes, I used the shift key many times in this post - Character Map isn't something I would want to use for EVERY shift-only character, so, here's to you, SunnComm: $*$# you, *#&$#($@!)
Read the drive-by review of SO7 (a link is in a story on GNOME-OFFICE 1.0) It DOES work faster on the same system. And, yes, I DO (or did - before I switched to SO7) make OOo load on startup already. Nero can make copies of more CDs than Easy CD Creator can - Roxio got paid to block copying of some CDs. No, I didn't bother complaining, because it was a $30 CD burner (I didn't exactly expect much), and I found a serial for Nero pretty quickly.
Unless you are doing a lot of web development, I don't see the use for an FTP client.
If you're reliving the old Apple II experience, IE is a BITCH to get DSK images with (unless you use some mirrors - http://www.geocities.com/apl24win's download page has a search engine for images) - they're all on ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net. And skip the AV app? Hell no! PuTTY is fine - keep in mind, this guy's geek enough to be posting on/. The VNC server should be UltraVNC, but that should stay unless he's got a really bad 56K.
Sorry to nitpick, but WS_FTP LE (what the poster was referring to) IS free for home or educational use. I can't say how good WS_FTP LE is compared to FileZilla, but I know WS_FTP LE is pretty good.
I jumped on the TightVNC bandwagon by using Ultr@VNC (ultravnc.sf.net). It is Windows-only, but it is by far the fastest VNC server/client combo for Windows. It uses a custom video driver on 2000 and XP. Domain-based authentication is also supported by uvnc, but it will only work with the uvnc client (any other - except for one defunct project's client - will show an authentication error). The uvnc client can also do fileswapping with the server (very nicely, too), and chat with the server and all clients.
I agree with you on most points. However, I'd say StarOffice 7 instead of OO.o - considering that if there are K-12 or college students in the house, it's free, that's a MUCH better idea, considering how much faster SO7 is. Nero? It's Easy CD Creator that comes with most. Mine came with a no-name program (even though it said on the site, on the box, and in the quick start guide that it came with Nero), so I DID get Nero. Backyard Baseball is fine - my school is using an old copy every now and then. You don't NEED the latest and greatest. I do agree on GTA, but think of how many kids play GTA:VC.
PuTTY and VNC are still good. PuTTY if you want to play with SDF, and VNC if you need to access your home box (ever heard of PCAnywhere?) from anywhere that there is internet access. However, use UltraVNC on Windows, NOT RealVNC - PLEASE not!
I'm still using WiMP on this box, but CoolPlayer's good for MP3/Ogg. Just make sure you switch to the Cooler Media plugout instead of the DirectSound plugout, or you'll get MAJOR stability issues.
I'd drop CygWin - WHY would a FAMILY PC need CygWin? Mozilla too, but saying this will keep the Opera/Mozilla religious war going. WS_FTP is good, ditto for PuTTY. However, you're linking to RealVNC for VNC. Try ultravnc.sf.net for a Windows-only VNC server/client that works REALLY well. The client also has chat and file transfer, and the server has domain-based authentication (but, you can only use the uvnc client or a defunct project's client to use domain-based authentication). All the others are completely unnecessary except Free-AV (I prefer AVG, though) and Boingo. I don't use Boingo, but it looks like it's easier than Network Stumbler for a non-geek (I've got NetStumbler, now I just need a WiFi card...).
No, it only started to be available (SDI mode) in Opera 6. Tabbed browsing, IMO, is now the only way to browse the Internet. I STILL find myself mousing up to the "New" button, only to find it's not there on IE6, and mousing up to where the tabs are, only to remember IE6 is SDI, not MDI.
And I've downloaded two copies - one for my desktop, and one for my school boxes (installed on a network drive). Seriously, many people use Opera. There are HUGE support groups for it. In other words, STFU, troll.
Here's what all you get with XP: Solitaire Minesweeper Pinball Hearts Spid er Solitaire Internet Hearts... Checkers... Backgammon and there might be a few more.

If it's a computer (it usually is), random hashes are better, due to compression.
No, fax random hashes. Something tells me that the computer uses a compression method that is based on same-color, next to each other pixels.
You could be phreaking too, though...
Yeah, but my laptop won't be running Linux - it's hardware is a BITCH to get working with Linux, or so I've heard (Dell Inspiron 1100)
Yeah, but I don't WANT CygWin for this. I'd much rather use a Win32 native app here.

Except it's Motorola who makes the Nextel and Verizon PTT phones.

Yes, this link explains a lot. Don't bother reading the comments - they all talk about Chrysler cars.
Version 10.99d?
What about Rhapsody DR-2? MacOS GUI, Rhapsody (between OpenStep and Darwin) kernel, and it's free.
