Yes, and Windows PAE support is degrees better than Linux PAE support. Which is why the previous two responses to this question are wrong. Windows isn't limited to 4GB "banks" as Linux is. The Windows PAE AWE APIs (I had to do that) also aren't performance killing hacks (which is what the Linux "bank" model is).
PAE in Windows provides a set of APIs called AWE so PAE aware applications can use more than 4GB at a time. And of course the OS can put multiple applications in their own address space so standard 32-bit apps can all be fully memory resident even if they allocate an entire address space to themselves.
PAE generally isn't available in the retail Win2000/XP Professional. But - it's a simple request for an OEM (like the keyboard manufacturer) to enable the kernel and memory management features found in the server products for the OS they ship.
The original posters contention that.su went away with the Soviet Union is incorrect. It is still running, with the intent to stick around. Registration is $100 a year.
The war was about slavery, and remember the South fired the first shots.

was received as a commonwealth holding, maintaining and protecting the institution known as negro slavery -- the servitude of the African to the white race within her limits -- a relation that had existed from the first settlement of her wilderness by the white race, and which her people intended should exist in all future time.
The truth is that the Civil War was about slavery. Calling it 'The War between the States' or other such sillyisms and excusing it as being about 'states rights' is just handwaving. The Dixie states have been pushing this propaganda since their activist state school boards have refused to allow American History textbooks to be sold in their states without that propagandic dilution of their states role. The textbook publishers want to sell there so they acquiesce. It's the same as all sorts of other political correctness diluting historical fact because of a loud or influential market with demands.
You're right, of course. I get my ancient history confused. The 8088 (to run MS-DOS 1.0) was 16 bit internally, 8 bit externally, and addressed 20 bits.
But that isn't where I confuse myself. I forget that it was a Microsoft version of CPM that ran on the 8080, which was 8 all around.
That's why the astronauts have long e-mail conversations with Fed prisoners - exchanging recipes for hooch.

How do you get modded insightful? Of course Win9x has a kernel. DOS is a bootstrap only. You think all that 32 bit memory management, virtual machining, system drivers, and thread scheduling is done by an 8 bit kernel? You're high.
It might not be a wonderful architecture but this idiocy that it's just a GUI shell has to be called out.
I had an account named SpamForwarder and now I get mail to Forwarder. I could dozens of examples of this, and it's just another example of how horrible spammers are. After a short amount of time, the Forwarder alias is now on dozens of spammer lists and now both accounts get the same spam. Spammer cleansing routines cause your spam load to increase exponentially if you use a wildcard aliasing scheme at a domain.
I often have no idea what channel I am watching. Tivo grabs all sorts of shows and I never know or care when it was or what channel it was on.
Even in cases where I know what channel I expect a show to be on I can be surprised. My daughter likes Blue's Clues from Nickelodeon. Sometimes it shows a syndication on CBS Kids.
Of course, this doesn't excuse those damnable logos, or worse, when they strip something across the bottom 1/4 of the screen about upcoming shows. Even PBS does it, the bastards.
No, this is exactly just a shuffle of people in administration. The org chart changes and nothing else.
"Core" referring to the kernel and drivers has been an org since at least NT4. After 1999, the various groups all got their own managed codebases (build labs) that were periodically merged. Core OS of course, was the first one.
Along that, something I saw recently was Comedy Central showing the uncensored version of the South Park movie in the middle of the night. I'd love - instead of infomercials - to have more provocative programming shown when my Tivo can pick it up. Uncensored episodes of the South Park tv show at 3AM, Sopranos on NBC at 2AM; bring it on.
They are pissed because they paid a search engine optimization company to set up 100 different shell domain names that all contain their keywords a la wheels-tires-wheeltires-mazda-honda-acura-rims-hub caps-lugs.com and then all those link to each other, and each also contains a link to the main site. So the search for "wheels" gave the top spot to their actual page, and the next 20 were their shell domains which meta-refresh to their main page anyways.
Since they paid money to a shyster (too cheap for google ad words, i guess) they think they have some entitlement to rank high. I hate these people.

He's right, but he's wrong.
Carr says we have picked all the low-hanging fruit. Most of the fundamental rollouts have taken place. Even the most luddite of businesses have realized what adding a computer can do.
Now though, it's time to build out. Automating, digitizing, scanning all the direct jobs of workers using paper - most of that is now digital. It's done or being done. The job of IT now isn't the fancy visible work, it's the grunt work of making all that stuff interoperate. Making it pretty and easy to use.
How many of the tools in most offices were something someone cobbled together? Or workers that use ten different stand-alone apps and instead of moving data from paper to a form, now just cut and paste, over and over and over, from form to form. Example: Watch the receptionist at your dentists office move data from their contact database to the insurance database. Watch at the insurance company as a cube worker moves that data to another standalone database.
Think about how ugly and user-hostile many of those applications are. They fail and fall apart because the data has to be 'just-so.' Each app requires half a day of training even if the employee already knows how to do the job.
Make the app so natural and easy to use that it removes that training requirement. Make those databases talk to each other. Test it and fix it to make the data entry easy.
The job ahead of IT isn't the fashionable stuff of the last twenty years but it's also deeper and more difficult. It's also going to enable new innovation. There will be fashionable new apps to be invented that we haven't even thought of that will only be possible because the easy work is done and everything everywhere is digitally accessible.
That app was already released. It uses lists of existing abused proxies (the same ones the spammers use) so the spammer can't filter out by IP. It can spam the spammers webforms as fast as possible, or once every random amount of seconds.
It's called FormFucker.
It's the same engine core, without a turbo, delivering nearly the same amount of horsepower. Hell yeah that's innovative. They won the International Engine of the Year for 2003 because it's an engineering masterpiece.
The best and easiest way to get more power out of a rotary engine core has always been to increase the size of the intake and exhaust ports. They moved some of the ports to the side of the housing. Rotary racers have used bridge and j-ports similarly but they were totally undrivable except as race cars and they were only useful for a handful of races. Mazda has now done this for a long-term use engine designed to be driven everyday.
You're also ignoring the reason why the RX-7 stopped being exported to the US and most of Europe. Emissions. They've lowered the emissions to be legal even in California.
So you've got the same 1.3l engine core, non-turbo'd putting out the nearly the same horsepwer output as the turbo'd version, the same gas mileage, and lower emissions and you think this isn't innovative?
There already is a means test for voters. It's called actually voting.
It doesn't get any more convenient than permanent absentee ballots. We still decide huge numbers of elections with less than even 50% turnout. If you really think there is a problem with the voters ask yourself why most people don't vote.

Hello LAST KNOWN GOOD CONFIGURATION.
I mean, it even detects failed boots and offers you the last known good config option automatically.
And any DLL necessary for booting is always in \dllcache, so some twit's stupid installer can't overwrite it.
