Why would a machine care about that... oh, wait, maybe there's a human doing it all!!!
I must say that I find it very interesting that people are able to spread worms this fast nowadays. Back in the day it took weeks or months to see something, and most people had already patched the worms by then, but now it's crazy, a worm can propagate to the entire world in a day! Even faster than DNS:D Maybe something for the BIND developers to consider?
I said nothing about compression, or maybe I did, but I tried to say that it is nice to have a program that can de-compress a whole lot of different archives, having to use unzip, unrar, gunzip or bunzip (I'd use the hacks in tar for the latter two) is no fun:/
Hmm.. which compression is best I don't know though:/ I'm running some benchmarks right now:) I won't bother timing them as I'm lazy ^^
Actually I'm not sure if the ctrl-alt-delete method works... can't remember if it does, what I can remember is that I will try to reboot the computer (if the start menu is working, most of the time it is), when I do Windows will ask me what to do about explorer - there I choose to kill it and it is thus respawned:)
Hmm... I just tried to ctrl-alt-delete kill explorer, at first I got a shotdown computer prompt - clicking cancel or something there got me the killing prompt, clicking yes there made explorer lag for a while and possibly respawn:/

I still run Windows 98 (and not the overrated second edition or whatever it is called either) and I've reformatted twice in the 7 or so years I've had it.
At the moment my install is very stable, I've been able to eliminate (well... not that I did anything, really) most of the annoying bugs (screen-messed-up-on-startup, sound-messed-up-on-startup). The biggest problem I still have is when I delete many files after not having rebooted for a while. Parts of explorer will simply hang for a few minutes. One solution I've found is to restart explorer, just ctrl-alt-delete, kill explorer and windows will respawn a new one without the bug:)
Oh, and my mouse is pretty crappy, but that has got nothing to do with Windows.
And just to make everyone happy: I'm dualbooting Gentoo;)
The thing about 7-zip is not it's own good 'mp3-beating' (joke, no one will get it) compression format (which I've actually never used either) - it's having one interface for all formats. Having to install 300Mb spyware with all different zippers is no fun when you can download a 1mb utility that handles every format on this earth (except for ACE, but that's a stupid one).
Spawn camping can not be exercised of the team you are trying to camp are aggressive. I frequently play a video game called Team Fortress Classic(a conversion of Team Fortress for Quake for Half-Life:)) where everyone spawn in one or two places most of the time. In the game you have distinct offense/defense roles.
Sometimes a team will put more(all) people on defense than offense, that way the other teams defenders will get bored and go off to the enemy team - not for capping flags though, that's up to the offense, but guess what: They spawn the camp looking for easy kills instead. Yep, that's how it is. On bad servers anyway.

Working the night shift, eh? It should be 23:23 in the UK :/
I guess they'll have to work on a +8 schedule or something.
Argh, they must've implemented that yesterday :/
It sure is. It's a colored manga artwork from some unknown series.
/a is safe. /c is safe too, /cm quite safe, ... yeah, I guess that's about it :)

What's stopping anyone from compiling an XP Embedded for themselves? Enough hacking and installing should be easy.
:/?
Hmm... maybe something might be a problem, XP Embedded doesn't seem to be as free as it was before (was it any different, can't remember) anymore

Let's see how well it is able to handle this image :)
The results will be very interesing, does anyone know how long it is until 'night'?
This post is completely Off-topic :D
... Microsoft should have used the money to audit their code or something ...
Time for an Echelon plugin maybe :)?
The physics behind the phenomenon has not yet been explained.
:(
Some kind of resonance... or the opposite of it?
Sorry, I'm not a physics nerd

Sure, that would work... if all parents were responsible. Sadly enough, that is not the case, and I doubt that will ever happen.
It just takes one bad parent with GTA3 and a handgun to give the media food for a year, the chances of something NOT happening are too small.
I use the Firefox calendar plugin instead, it's the same thing - but without all the bloat :)
Of course, you can't really launch it just by itself (or maybe you can - pointing firefox to the main XUL file of the app should be enough?).
Windows Longhorn :-)
True, it's not the RIAA that's ripping the CDs, it's the pirates.
About how much does 2k take up? I've been thinking a little about upgrading from 98.
:)
My harddisk is very limited though, it's 8 GB, and currenly about 5 because of partitioning.
My current Windows 98 folder takes up about 1GB, if you add everything else that's required for minimal system maybe you'll get 1.5Gb.
Currently I've got just about 1.5Gb free, but I need about that much to work with.
So, if you could tell me how much 2k takes up I'd (maybe) be happy
Does anyone know if this would work with the first edition too?
I'd assume it does (after maybe hacking out some check in the installer), I can't see why it shouldn't.

USB
At the moment, no. My only two USB devices(super optical mouse and webcam) are plugged into my other computer running XP.
BUT: The webcam does work with my Windows 98! I'm quite sure I used the USB mouse here a while too.
I can not see a single difference between FE and SE, too bad.
