if i had remembered how hard it is to spell guiness properly (stil not sure if i have), or remembered that i cant code c++, i wouldn't have bothered writing this. This is a joke, not a racist slur. Well its a racist slur thats supposed to be funny
you could reinstall the OS (to be sure its safe) and keep the data.
bring knoppix or slax, mount a usb keyring, or a borrowed cdrw drive, or anything like that, stick the data on there.
wipe the HD, reinstall the OS, virus scan the removable storage medium, recover the data stored on the removable storage medium.
This way you have 100% integrity and all the data is still there. How much is a usb keyring (128mb should be enough for a typical windows 98 user) nowadays? not even $100 - therefore, if i charge $50 ph, i could do the job for $300 tops (and thats after buying a very expensive usb keyring), and be sure of the integrity of the OS afterwards.
first of all, i'd like to say kudos for the least defensive/argumentative reply's to any of my posts that i can remember.
secondly, i see your point, but the distro's i listed (iirc) just ask "will you be running an FTP server" etc, with the default of no. they dont block outbound traffic without playing with iptables (or maybe the advanced button on the gui firewall config util
That would be the fault of the distrobutor, as i have never seen this problem with the distro's ive used, with the firewall blocking all inbound connections (you can configure it during install in mandrake and iirc redhat, maybe suse too).
this applies to: mandrake 9 mandrake 9.1 redhat 9 suse 9.1 personal slackware 9.1 slackware 10
so yes - find me a distrobution that has this non-existant problem.
games written for playstation 1 compatibility (new versions of dos), when hardware such as the pentium 5.
i completely understand your point, and agree with it. what i dont agree with is that later versions of dos should include 8086 compatibility - upgrade hardware with software or not at all.
for fuck sake - did you work for microsoft at the time?
there must be some reason why you refuse to believe me, that there were processors after the 8086, before windows 95 came out, that dos didn't even touch the functionality of.
DOS wasn't always restricted to 8086's with 128k of memory and 360k disks.
are you trying to tell me that dos only ran on 8086's? if so, your talking out of your arse. Dos was designed for later intel compatible processors too you know.
Its actually a bug in windows xp. GRUB creates a proper boot sector, which on rare occasions, windows XP cant understand (like i said, its XP apparently thats a fault). no, i dont have to back this up - if you care, research it yourself.
Batman is great! i watched it the other day. it is one of the funniest films of all time. (not sure which one it was that i saw, but it was the one with all 4 of the baddies working together.
do you have a copy of your list of IP's on a website or something?
For anybody after starting an open source project but doesn't know what to make, how about this:
downloading a list like this and filtering all emails (either through a pop3 > antispam > pop3 proxy or scanning ~/Mail [or whatever the path is]), then giving them the spam header.
could anybody tell me the IP range of the ISP's in question (that dont host any important mail servers) as i dont know any americans, and i'd like to block the range, as a trial at first, if i dont recieve any decent mail in my junk folder, i'l keep it (the filter on the IP range)
my point was, get a cheap computer and use it as a linux NAT box, with only ports you need forwarded. that way, you wont get windows messenger popups except for those inside your LAN.

the linux kernel is upgraded every few months. the windows kernel is upgraded at least every few days:

I'm in the process of installing a 270mb fix called SP2 for my dad's computer.
what i think your after i a diode. get an LED, coz they're cool.
get a blue one, coz theyre cooler.

And I would throw in the USB keyring for free

like laserdisks were, and floppy disks are.
actually, hard disk drives are very well protected, come to think of it.
for fuck sake - did you work for microsoft at the time?

DOS wasn't always restricted to 8086's with 128k of memory and 360k disks.
i realised that after i pressed submit, but i couldn't be bothered replying to myself.
so we now agree dos is a piece of shit that was limited by software, not hardware.
which is shit because that doesn't make anywhere near full use of the processor.
thats kind of like running a 32 bit OS on a 128 bit processor
are you trying to tell me that dos only ran on 8086's? if so, your talking out of your arse. Dos was designed for later intel compatible processors too you know.
use lilo instead, which afaik doesn't have this problem (must write the boot sector properly in a different way).
afaik, the grub problem is quite rare anyway.
third post!

net send $THEIR_IP piss off
I respect you, since the syntax for sendkeys is wrong, therefore you probably dont use VB.
:(.
i wish i didn't know VB, and learned a proper language
Must learn delphi. must learn delphi...

sorry about that, i was having a bad day.
