Well, I have had XP BSOD on me whenever I tried to disable an unused network connection (IIRC, a 1394 connection). This was completely reproducable. I don't remember why I wanted to disable it, but I think it was interfering with hibernation (I.E. must stop network to hibernate).
MS-DOS Retry can work, sometimes. Try making a DOS boot disk, booting it, taking out the disk and running a commnad. Retry will bring back the error, until you put the disk back in, which is when Retry works.:)
Wget is a command line tool which downloads files over HTTP or FTP. It doesn't render them or anything, just save them. Notepad would have to be your HTML renderer:). It was supposed to be a joke.
I could be wrong, but I got the impression that Imgseek uses the position as well. I have tried running it on a collection of photos from a concert, and it is very good at returning those with the stage in the centre. Then again, the object in the centre can effect the colour of everything on most cameras.
I don't know about North Americans, but here in the UK we use the word dole too. During the Thatcher years of high unemployment, the "dole queue" was a phrase often used to describe both the long queues that formed in places where people could collect their benefit, and by extension the entire unemployed population, waiting for jobs to be available. I assume it is a colloquial word.
And all the vendors will instantly stop coding stuff that can run on, say, Windows XP, because they know that everyone went out and upgraded on the release day...
Apps will still be written for old version of Windows (and Wine) for a long time.
It is worth pointing out that this is not being applied to murderers, though. I think this is because people see their crimes as less disgusting, even if they are obviously a lot worse (or because the religious right thinks that rape is a worse sin that murder?).
KDE uses it to render icons. It supports either PNG or SVG icons, but obviously the SVG ones scale much more nicely. IIRC, the standard KDE icon set is all SVG. It might not always have a viewer installed, but it does support SVG images being set as desktop wallpaper.
There are forms of forensic data recovery which can sometimes work out the bit that was written before the current bit on a certain disk location. I've forgotten the details, but, it involves dismantling the drive and working on the platters with very expensive equipment.
Liquid nitrogen is probably good for this. At a physics summer school, we did some experiment with LN2, and there was a good bit left at the end which we were just told to do what we wanted with so long as we didn't damage anything.
I pored 1/2 a cup orange juice and 1/2 a cup LN2 into a polystyrene cup. It took ~30-45 mins to melt; and at the beginning it wasn't even wet to touch or anything.
So, in summery, some types of polystyrene cup are amazing insulators and can be handled with liquid nitrogen inside, cheap biros leak if you dip them in liquid nitrogen, and if you can find a few litres of LN2, you can probably make frozen vodka a bit faster.
Because Microsoft will give permission to realease code for a partly Windows-compatible system that they have some rights to. And they won't mind that projects like Wine will have a nice set of NTish API code to port.
OK, my mistake. I couldn't check it because I am my Windows partition being forced to code in Visual Basic (which sucks). Now you mention it, I did wonder how a tetris clone could be "evil"...
Um, what's wrong with locate for Linux? With a low-priority cron job to update the database (default on any good distro) you don't need to bother with it slowing down the machine building the database, and it can do a complete search of the filesystem in seconds.
Now, searching inside files will continue take ages for a long, long time.
I've been playing this for a while, and I couldn't work out why I preferred netris until I read this. Gentoo's portage description for Bastet could have mentioned it was evil.
LOL, but I had to do this, I.E. get an IP address from my Grandmother. Thankfully, we now have VNC on their machine so I don't need to talk her through any computer stuff ever again (and I'm not going to just pop round and fix it locally - they live in Australia and I live in Britain).

Lynx? Wget? You can download Windows builds of both.
Um... GTK needs X. Many people don't want X.
IIRC, in some countries (or states?), it is illegal to allow children to see naked shop dummies.
Anyway, in the image the mannequin is seen from quite a long way away anyway.
Querying for similar images on a collection with 5215 unrelated images.
Search for yellow flowers gets pink flowers. The layout must be being analysed, surely?
The second photo returned from this Imgseek search uses significantly different colours, but similar layout.

Yes, they wouldn't want to be caught again, after what happened last time, would they?
Oh, wait... Nothing really happened last time. Do they really care about being "caught"? Unless someone actually sues them, they'll keep going.
I don't think you understand anarchism...
WT? Rape is a sex offence.

He, I bet you could make it work on either of those, probably using cygwin on Windows.

RTFA. It weighs ten kilograms. It's not small.

So in summary, VNC is great for everyone!
