does firefox use the exact same code for windows and linux. surely the windows version uses winsock and the linux version uses whatever it is on linux?
now they wont be writing in microsoft word, on microsoft windows, at the next anti-trust trials against microsoft (are there any dates set at the moment?)
you cant spoof mails from hotmail because it would have to be sent from microsofts smtp server (its not at smtp.hotmail.com or mail.hotmail.com) so they can just block everything they recieve from a hotmail address that didn't originate from their server
Microsoft are trying to get people with big hair (like myself) to be antenni, so they can steal all information passed arounnd your body. i new there was a conspiracy in it somewhere, you just have to think about it...

what about kdesu - nice pretty root password dialogue.
corporate end users should never be root anyway.
kpackage (support for.deb,.tgz,.rpm and others) brings up the root password dialogue when you try to install (package managers like this are much more secure because they download from trusted sites where there is no malware)
it was 50% software (DOS, winNT4/5/5.1 and win 311,95,98,ME) and 50% hardware (all x8x, which includes IRQ's. there was a 5/6 year gap between when you took yours and when i took mine tho (i ended up doing the 2003 hardware and 2004 software because college didn't get their collective finger out of their collective arse quick enough).
slackware linux jumped versions because red hat had a much higher version number, and people kept asking (apparently) "when will you be upgrading to linux 8" or something along those lines. read slackware's FAQ (i'd link but im lazy)
Well i suppose they though giving out the HKLM section of the windows registry was too simple for them and it would be considered a present that not much thought was put into?
end users dont play with ~/.bash, just as they dont play with the windows registry or regserv32.dll.
since its not the early 90s anymore, almost everybody is used to windows.
you cant make a system thats so intuative that people used to the windows way will beable to use it straight away.
there is no way of installing any operating system on a bare box without knowing how to change the boot order and understanding partitions (or logical drives). (my grandpairents wouldn't beable to install windows xp or any linux distro as theyve never owned a computer)
there's no way of making it obvious how to use something different, without making it the same.
KDE is simple enough for anybody to use, without being patronising (hiding files from people)

thanks
could you point me to a site that tells you what services to disable in XP (dialup, dhcp, ICS are needed)?
i haven't used windows myself for ages so i dont know - its for somebody else.
he has searched on google, but all the sites he found broke stuff when he disabled what they said.

so it could be firefox's fault

thou shalt not play with other peoples computers unless they say you can
or something along those lines

so thats not where the new doom went missing to then? Its got to be around somewhere....
X + XFCE + gaim/amsn/even kopete runs fine on my gf's P233 (although i use ssh -X when im forced to use her machine, because its still a bit slow)
couldn't birds do this? pick up something from somewhere else and drop it into a hole in the ice?

maybe - enable /etc/rc.d/rc.hotplug during setup.
if that doesn't work then recompile your kernel - its not hard or time consuming
and slapt-get (which i prefer) (also slapt-gui to go with it)
you can find that yourself on freshmeat
ah - i thought i read something about flooding abuse@hotmail.com with spam from spoofed hotmail addresses, so they would just close them down
ok fair 'nuff
thanks for then, then

that sounds like my pairents:

its all a conspiracy.

a+ software was just windows
a+ hardware was just x86 hardware
(i passed the a+ december last year)
maybe you should download the vanilla sources for the kernel and recompile it. if your an admin for a company, surely you could have figured that out?
its kernel.org by the way
