Depending on how you go about converting from 25fps to 29.970fps, this is not necessarily the case. You can use a program such as Nandub to change the fps without reencoding the video. The resulting.avi will be of a shorter play time length if you are converting from 25fps to 29.970fps, but no artifacts will be introduced because no reencode took place. You do need to reencode the audio, though, or the sound will be at a slightly higher frequency.
Maybe someone has already mentioned this further down in the comments, but in linux you can "su" to root and install software without logging the current user out. In Windows, you have to log out as the non-privileged user, log in as administrator, install the software, log back out and then in again as the non-privileged user, and then hope that the software will work without having to fuxxor with it (as administrator). Maybe WinXP's "switch user" helps in this situation, but I find it to be half-@$$ed and haven't really used it that much.
I have a Dell laptop dual booting Windows XP and FC3, and a homemade AMD-powered desktop dual booting Windows 2000 and FC3, and neither of these machines experienced the boot sector problem. The only installation problems that I ever faced with FC3 was installing on computers that used a Via/Cyrix CPU (I have two). On these, I had to boot from some rescue CD that Redhat (or someone) released, and then swap in the installation media.
Surely someone has already verified this, but I thought that I would confirm that the mininova torrent is definately GNAA repeated forever. I did a tail on a partially downloaded RAR file and the result was GNAAGNAAGNAAGNAAGNAAGNAA.... (you get the picture...).
It is odd that your friend can't find RDRAM for his Dell. I bought 512MB PC800 RDRAM (2x256MB modules) from a vendor on Pricewatch.com about 6 weeks ago. Memory was used to upgrade a Dell Dimension 8100 that originally shipped with 128MB. Oh, and I just now checked Dell's website. They most certainly do sell, and presumably ship, RDRAM memory upgrades (from PC800 to PC1066).
My boss submits the purchase requests for new IT-related equipment for our workplace, and he forgot to order wireless as an option on a couple of HP nc4010 laptops. HP sells the "HP W500" mini-PCI card (older version was W400), but I picked up a couple of Intel 802.11g mini-PCI cards. The laptops would not boot with the Intel cards installed. Boot up was stopped with a message indicating that a non-supported mini-PCI card was installed (please remove, etc....).
I'm not even a Mac guy, and the first thing that I thought of was "Geez, get a couple of external firewire drives." That would have been about the same price, would have looked better, would use less electric (enclosure power supplies vs. the ATX power supply used for the 3.5" hard drives), and performance would probably be as good as or better than his master/slave IDE hard drive setup.
The first time that I saw Tron, I was on four hits of acid, the movie was recorded on a tape at LP (4 hour) speed, and the VCR only played SP (2 hour) speed. That was a crazy night...
They are fake, or at least not produced by the Lego Corporation. Some guy produced these as "a work of art." Go back and read the page. Excerpt: "The "Lego Concentration Camp Set" by the Polish artist Zbigniew Libera, Berenbaum argues, "may be saying that the same type of creative construction that little boys do with Lego also took place at concentration camps."
I was a big user of Netscape Navigator's web browser and email clients, but switched over to Mozilla when it went gold. I've tried Firefox a few times, but it doesn't have a mail client and therefore doesn't fulfill my needs. How is Thunderbird? I don't really want to change over to a pre-1.0 release unless someone can convince me that it is prety darn stable and feature-complete.

Off the top of my head, I can name one for you. The SMC Barrcicade 700x series (7004ABR, 7004AWBR, etc.) includes a serial port that you can connect to an external analog or ISDN modem. Can be used as dial backup (if your broadband goes down), or can be used as the primary internet connection. You can buy the SMC7004ABR for around $80 American.

Richard Clark is a smart guy, and his book, "Against All Enemies," is a very good read. Highly recommended by the HouseOfMisterE.

Good to know that the stability is there. Mozilla's mail client has been rock solid for me, and I would hate to have to step down to something less.

If you can't make it into Windows, then your chances of getting infected decrease substantially.

This is easy. Don't show their faces.

Sure. If this was Soviet Russia, one would be a form of entertainment, and one would browse you.
