I beg to differ. I put a Rage 128 Pro (with capture) in my shuttle/athlon box, because the on-board S3 save sucked ass and used shared memory. XP SP3 recognized it without a hitch, and I just had to install ATI's older catalyst software to use the capture and enable the advanced video control panel tabs.
Yes, SP3 installs MS's slow driver. As to ATI's driver -- I can't find a way to get it installed. All that is on AMD's site is the driver/software bundle, which refuses to install on my system because it claims that there is no hardware supported by the bundle.
S3 is obviously worried about their advanced technology being stolen by nVidia and AMD if they publish an open-source driver or the specs required to write such a driver.
Clearly, as S3 slipped behind the competition in video card performance, they also let the clue train get away.
I don't mean to pick on whoever57, but really, for a crowd that likes to portray of itself as intelligent and sophisticated, you folks don't know jack and refuse to admit it.

I don't think your experience is unique to privately-run prisons. I heard (from someone who worked with prisoners) that state prisons near me have similar arrangements -- the prisoners and their families are forced to buy phone cards, and items to be sent to the prisoner from companies that are owned by the prison officers.
Essentially, the prisons are not run for correctional purposes, but rather to benefit the "corrections officers" and their families.
The whole point of a phone book is to link people with numbers and you can opt out if you don't want to be listed.
Yes, but not to provide a way to look up a number and find the owner (reverse lookup). This is a relatively recent innovation and one that I doubt people considered twenty years ago when allowing their numbers to be listed. In other words, twenty years ago, people had a reasonable expecation that their number would not give away their identity even if they were listed in the phone book
You mean, "Snakes in a dealership"! One problem: you will need many snakes to eat all the rats
It's a dealership. There are snakes there already. The problem is that they usually eat only human food and are commonly found on the sales floor, chasing the few remaining customers.
At my previous company, we got frequent emails from qchex/neovi.com sent to an email address that must have been scraped from a website -- no-one used it as their personal address, so there was no legitimate reason for the to be sending to that address.
I have no idea why it took so long. It would freeze on each step, even just after selecting trivial things like keyboard and languages..... etc.
And about a month ago, I setup a dual-boot Ubuntu/Windows machine. Ubuntu was done in about 30-40 minutes. Windows on the other hand, I spent most of a day to install the OS, track down the necessary drivers, install office suites, anti-virus, etc..
This is why anecdotes are useless, for every anecdote that shows one thing you can find one that shows the opposite.
My example above was not fictional. The Windows install was seriously complicated by the fact that my CD (XP with SP3 slipstreamed in) did not recognize the SATA hardware and the system did not have a floppy drive installed (or even space for a floppy drive). This was not bleeding-edge hardware.
DNS is your friend, especially when your nameserver is declared a master for that domain and the zonefile contains a wildcard record pointing all names to the IP address of your own dedicated nothing-there Web server.
Squid is another option. Actually it is a better option, since you can configure it to read a file of regex patterns and reject URLs based on those patterns. This allow you to block URLs based on the directory/file name as well as the domain name. In addition, you can block other information leaks such as the Referrer header.
There is one advantage that XP has over W2K -- it allows multiple Remote Desktop logins.... oh, wait.... that's only if you have the cracked version of termsrv.dll on your system.
Of course, to find this out you might have to research or think about your answer instead of assuming evil behavior on Microsoft's part...
Given the ample, well documented evidence of bad behavior by MS, failing to consider evil behavior by MS is a clear example of "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice....". Just because the "evil behavior" is not so obvious yet, doesn't mean that there is not such a motive behind this action.
There is an option that you have to check to allow updates to things other than Windows.
Which most people assume means things like MS Office and other MS components that are not part of a bare Windows install. I can't imagine anyone thinking this means 3rd party software.
2) H1-B visa holders don't pay any less taxes than Americans do. We have the same amount of taxes deducted from our pay (FICA, federal and/or state) as Americans do. Plus, we get to pay sales tax too just like everyone else!
Actually, they are likely to pay more than citizens because they probably won't be able to get the large tax relief that people get from having home mortgages. Also, being younger, they probably don't have dependents that can be claimed to reduce their taxes.
There is one way some H1-B holders can reduce their taxes -- if they pay the equivalent of social security in their home country, they may be able to avoid paying it in the US.
I believe the ultimate goal for the RIAA is to get a fee from every customer of an ISP. Money for doing nothing. The distribution of these fees will be such that independent artists get a token sum, while the RIAA gets money for nothing. That's what all the litigation is for -- to get this fee system established.

All ISPs in the Irish Republic report reduced revenues and profits.
Corrected that for you.
No, because that is not something the judge should concern himself with. When he does concern himself with that, it suggests bias.

Whose driver are you running?
Any of the Rage cards. Rage 128/128 Pro, Rage Pro, Rage XL, so I guess we are talking about cards introduced 10 years ago.
I have recently found that ATI doesn't support XP SP3 for their legacy hardware. Try to install it and it claims that there is no compatible hardware.
S3 is obviously worried about their advanced technology being stolen by nVidia and AMD if they publish an open-source driver or the specs required to write such a driver.
Clearly, as S3 slipped behind the competition in video card performance, they also let the clue train get away.
A fair trial would not allow any new evidence to be presented, not just handed over to the defense to review.
No, it's you that doesn't know jack:
I neither said, nor intended to imply, that copyright law allows you to take those media only disks and install the software on an unlimited number of machines. You invented that out of whole cloth.
Copyright law gives you the right to use it if you legally possess a copy of it (IANAL, etc).

In which case, the girlfriend will be redundant, so it's all good, right?
Why not "Old, successfulBand"? They don't need the one thing the label can give them: publicity?

So why didn't MS enable removal through the "add or remove programs" mechanism?
