The GUI is cool but the CLI is still more powerful and more efficient. Anywhere you want to go on your drive takes only a couple commands. The GUI on the other hand requires a little more user intervention, even it means simply creating a shortcut.
CLI = cut to the chase
GUI = take the scenic route
You arrive at the same place. It just depends how fast you want to get there. And 3D desktops are coming. But it's going to take a long time for the transition. Remember, the more dimensions you add, the more coordination is needed.
Well I'm not trying to give medical advice. I'm just going on my own experience. I thought I had carpal tunnel and it was a good thing that I got it checked out. Use your own discretion and do what you think is best.
English is becoming a second language in the US and Spanish is taking over more and more. Knowing Spanish might give a US IT worker a distinct advantage over say an Indian IT worker.
I'd hate to imagine what it sees a Pentium 4 as. And let's not forget about the exclamation points in the device manager due to lacking drivers for the pci bridges. This is all assuming that Windows 95 would even work correctly because a new system has more memory than Win95 can handle. 95's memory support maxes out at 128 MB. This is further proof that the article is a fraud.
SOmething like what? A contour pillow? Well seeing how I've often woken up with stiffness in my neck, it makes sense. Other times I would wake up with pounding headaches and my neck would be sore all day. And my matress isn't that old.
I've had very painful wrist problems before and my chiropractor said it was because of my neck being stiff. He said it was pinching the nerves which was causing my wrists to hurt. You can have symptoms of carpal tunnel and not even have the disorder. A chiropractor which who I'm assuming you saw is the best person to ask. Needless to say, I sleep on a contour pillow now and my wrists are better.
I remember reading in my chiropractor's office that obesity, thyroid problems and diabetes can all contribute to carpal tunnel as well. So it might not be work related.
Internet accelerators like Proxyconn use caching and compression to help speed up dial up connections. It's not quite as fast as fast as dsl, but it's definitely faster than without.
Windows can have problems with sound cards too, especially if they're creative sound cards. You could have a SB PCI 128 and have three different drivers for the same OS! You could have board versions CT4700, CT4750 and CT4780 and a common chipset of ES1370. But because you have different board versions, you have to download the right driver or it won't work.
NT is notorious for this problem because it won't tell you anything. The driver will install. You'll be prompted to reboot. And you'll get a error in the event log saying the driver couldn't start. That alone could lead to hours of frustration.
But there's also the issue of OEM compatibility or OEM pat on the back ability. Microsoft and Intel go together like white on rice. Those to have worked together for years. Of course an Intel board is going to be supported with the default drivers, let alone an intel soundcard. But for 95 to support a new board with a new sound card with no additional drivers is very hard to believe. 95 probably needs updated chipset drivers for the board alone. And he didn't mention what version of 95 he used, either. If any version of '95 could support a new sound card, which I doubt it would without a driver from the manufacturer, it would have to be 95 OSR 2.x. And that's still stretching it. Out of the box, 95 will support most ISA cards with Microsoft provided drivers. But PCI support is more dependent on support from the manufacturer.
I've seen Linux kernels with a module under sound that says,"AC'97". And if there's one thing to learn about drivers is that especially in Microsoft's case, the manufacturer's drivers should be used first, if they're available.

.DOC files are fine by themselves as long as you have a good virus scanner and have macros turned off. There's always the possibility of a trojan horse being in a.DOC file so it's not a bad idea to have a trojan scanner. But just about any file type could have a trojan in it. Chances are, if it's a virus, it's going to be.doc.pif.
Anyone remember the DOS Device names exploit in Windows? C:\con\con or C:\con\clock$ crashed the DOS filesystem driver in Windows. Could you imagine PubPat sending MS a malicious email with that exploit and someone with an unpatched version of Windows 98 opening it?

I've seen several posts complaining about space on the 2D desktop. Two options that I haven't seen mentioned were screen resolution and monitor size. Going to a smaller screen resolution definitely gives you more room. It might be hard on the eyes, so it's not the best thing for everyone. A bigger monitor is another option. And LCD's are going down in price too. And if you really want space and have the cash, a projector will do the job nicely. My 15" is still good enough for me at 1280x1024.
3D desktops seem like a neat idea. But the definition of 3D seems to vary. Should the desktop itself be on a slant with icons floating above it? Should the windows just be slanted in 3D? Or should the windows be drawn with actual 3D dimensions to give a cubical look? Some people might say that a shadow gives the effect of 3D.
Assuming there isn't an issue with long term exposure with other materials, Novec 1230 might be useful in preserving artifacts and very old documents; like the documents that corrode when they come in contact with air.
It can't participate in DoS attacks unless the user has administrative privileges. Admin privileges are needed for raw socket access.
And since you're probably on a DMZ, you have to assume the worst. Someone is going to break into your sytem and there's nothing you can do to stop it short of severing the physical layer. Either A) They'll have restricted access or B) They'll have full access.
Newer version of AOL Instant Messenger install spyware. It's called Wild Tangent. Considering the number of people that use AIM, alot of people have spyware and don't even realize it.
I'm assuming that you're in IT to some capacity and not someone who just knows a good deal about networking and security. The reason I'm asking is because if you're not in IT and you approach them, they might talk down to you or attempt to discedit you. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. The "Well what does he/she know about computers?"
If you are in IT, you might want to approach them from the standpoint of an IT professional. You might say something like,"Hello. I was logging in and noticed something...." And make them aware that you are an IT professional/student so that they know you're someone that's speaking on a level playing field. And if you're a student, you could say something like,"Well in security class, I learned https and..."
It's a tough situation because you don't want them to get the impression that you're snooping around and looking for something to exploit. At the same time, you don't want to come across as being intrusive or pushy.
The other option is to approach them showing concern about your own privacy.
The idea of an ultimatum has already been answered by previous comments.
I saw a site that had pictures of digital billboards with Windows Error messages on them.

It's not a crash but apparently, someone's missing a driver disk.
Intel in the past has boasted profits of $2 billion dollars. AMD has made some substantial headway in the market, but doesn't have nearly as much cash as Intel. Sure it's only $25 million, but for Intel to fork over $225 million dollars and boast profits of $2 billion, it seems that AMD still gets hit hardest. 2% of profit doesn't seem like much, but when you're up against a big time company like Intel, you don't have the option of making many mistakes. Look at Intel deciding to trash their Itanium chips. Intel literally has money to burn.
You'd have more control over DNS if you managed it in house. You'd be able to decide maintennace scheduling, patching, etc. You'd also direct control over hardware and configuration needs.
If there's anything you'd want to research, it would be TCO for in house vs a DNS provider. You might also want to see if you can find statistics relating to performance, uptime, reliability, etc of in house vs provider for DNS.

A Windows NT 4 driver might actually work for that sound card. When you don't have a Windows 2000 driver, an NT 4 driver is a possible solution.
