Mozilla is at version 1.7.5 and Firefox is at version 1.x. IE is approaching version 7.0. Microsoft has billions of dollars and more than enough developers and other personnel to make a secure product. Mozilla may have more security flaws in the short run, but it will have less in the long run because more careful consideration was made during development.
How exactly is this redudant? Since government agencies can work with each other, there is no need for such a database in the first place. They already know all the information.
"Should an institution refuse, the government could take away federal grants, loans and work-study funds from every student at the college, a penalty that would fall on students in need while leaving more affluent students unaffected."
That's almost like freezing someone's bank account.
"Researchers at the Education Department say this mammoth project would give them better information on graduation rates and what students pay for college."
The Deparment of Education has no problem with taking money out of tax refunds when students have outstanding loans. Obviously, the IRS and Dept of Education are at least acquaintances. After, they're both part of the same government.
Yeah, I do tend to go overboard sometimes. I should have mentioned that such software pertains to very rare or extreme circumstance. You have to admit though, it would be pretty funny to see granny overclocking her water-cooled system with software.
There are viruses that can write junk to your BIOS' flash ROM. DoS attacks can cause systems to overheat. The malicious packets are made with software. GPU's and CPU's can be overclocked with software. And while I've never heard of it happening, emulators like MAME could theoretically damage your hardware. The disclaimer for MAME says that the author isn't responsible for hardware damage due to usage. I don't think it's likely, but apparently, it's possible.
You're all he's got. And you could tell him that he's not in the best position to make such a demand. Without you, he'd be up the creek without a paddle. Maybe he needs to miss your presence for a while. That should make him appreciate you. Everything you've been doing has been taken for granted when you consider your situation. To go that long without finding someone to help you is fool-hearty. Honestly, I don't see how your boss couldn't have seen this coming, unless he truly believed that you would stay. Unfortunately, good workers get taken advantage of.
I never claimed to know everything. And yes, at times I might be wrong. But I do that I saw somewhere in a text file on a Windows NT installation that stated that IDE was not supported. It was probably the original NT 4.0 (no service pack).Even if I am wrong about slipstreaming in NT, what's to stop a program from overwriting system files that correspond the the installed service pack? WFP didn't show up until ME and 2000. The maximum size of a FAT16 parition for DOS was 2GB. Even if you selected NTFS as the file system, selecting a partition bigger than 2GB would result in an error from setup saying that it would not be able to boot that partition because of DOS. NT itself would allow a larger FAT paritition once you had it set up.
Don't forget that NT also lacked ACPI and IDE support. Your IDE drives showed up as SCSI. With NT, you could only create a 2GB parition (max) because setup created the partition with FAT and required a reboot before it converted the partition to NTFS (if you selected it). NT also didn't have slipstreaming which lead to problems with programs overwrote system files from service packs.
With the Intel setup, the processor north bridge and RAM are directly connected to the board. On the other hand, the AMD daughterboard is on a card. This means that the system has to go out to the card to communicate with the processor, RAM and north bridge.
If Microsoft back-ports WinFS to 64-bit XP, it could hurt or help them. In one way, it could get more people to go for 64-bit systems. Those same people could make an easy transition to Longhorn because they would already have 64-bit systems. But in another way, if they go to XP64, they might not have as much of an incentive to go to Longhorn. There would already be one 64-bit OS with WinFS. People might feel that Longhorn is unnecessary.
Why use software to monitor heat, when you can pull the heat away from the system? Check this laptop cooler out. Nexus TDD 3000 Heat Pipe. It uses no fans. It makes no noise and uses zero power. There's a chart on the bottom that shows the difference it makes in cooling.
That's all it is, folks. MS Paint is simply the best paint editor in the world. It has all the system colors and fonts needed to make even the most ridiculous error messages seem real.
Have you seen Maddox's website? He uses mspaint to do his images. So I'm not the only one that thinks MS Paint rules.
Okay, sure, the idea might sound stupid but more and stuff is being off-loaded to video cards and 512MB of RAM is alot. There's programs you can download to test system memory, but I haven't seen any to test video memory. I know the professioal strength ones like Microscope and Troubleshooter can test video memory, but those full blown diagnostics programs. You wouldn't believe the damage that bad video RAM can cause. And the whole time, you'd swear it was the system memory. Example, if you have a video card with bad video RAM and you increase the Iopagelocklimit on say Windows 2000, to 8000 hex (32k pages), you'll get all kinds of programs and system processes crashing. Userinit.exe might not even work when you try to log in. Services will fail, lots of em. Remember those blank windows in win98 that said the task isn't responding? It's Winoldap.mod that's hanging and I've found that faulty video RAM is usually the culprit.

Someone said the exact same thing here It was said on Sunday April 03, @01:21AM, 10 minutes earlier.
I assume that you're trolling because the article says that the robots exist. They're just not perfected yet.

Don't you mean decreased boot time?

"Paid-for" is the operative word. Don't forget about the pirated copies. Joe Blow burns a copy of Windows for his friend and on and on.

It took you long enough to mod this down.

For those who didn't understand, the error message was probably made with MS Paint. Is it *that* difficult to understand?

How what? Oh and I meant win386.mod. That's the file for winoldap.
