According to this document, it looks like it's still supported.
What kills me about the UID number was that I/waited/ on it, since I didn't think registering was a good idea when Taco implemented it. I guess 3 digits is enough of a status symbol anyway;)
Best of luck with your upgrade. I hope it doesn't fail horribly!
XFree 4 is not for machines more than a couple years old. My PCI G200 is no longer 3d accelerated because it's not AGP. I'm still working on getting XF3 to coexist on this machine so I can run a second X server for GL apps. Support for my 486's WD display has also been dropped, making X even more unnecessary and slow.
Bleah.
I run this on my old NEC Versa laptop. As long as you make the hibernation partition before you setup your linux partition, it works just fine. In the BIOS setup, I have hibernation as the default suspend. Linux behaves very nicely, shutting down and restoring PCMCIA, sound, etc. I even got around to setting up a default action for the gkrellm battery monitor that runs "xscreensaver --activate && apm --suspend" when you click on it. This way, the next time someone pops open the laptop, X will be locked.
The/patch/ is out of date, the code still works if you adapt it to a modern kernel. Uh, I mean theoretically of course... wouldn't want to patch your kernel in a way that is illegal:P
The SoundBlaster Live (EMU-10K1) has a great mixer that lets you route the DSP output back into recording input. This way, it's trivial to record any audio being sent to the soundcard. At least, it is under linux. I imagine that the windows mixer has similar capabilities if that's the platform you're doing this on.
And if you thought keeping a big database of all the IPs under IPv4 was inaccurate, just wait until we all switch to IPv6! Oh, wait, that's never going to happen:)
When I was growing up, my library in Phoenixville, PA, USA had this setup. I remember spending lots of time in the children's section reading those books. This was before the time of internet access, of course. I wonder if they have computers in the children's section now...
I remember the salesdroid at circus city talking about this when I bought a DVD player -- you need a player with two lenses because the one used for playing DVDs does not work with burned CDs.
You don't really need scripts or anything to integrate gpg with pine. Just edit the pine config in the nice userfriendly menu to pipe stuff with a leading -----BEGIN PGP to gpg, and add a send filter of gpg --clearsign to sign mail you send.
The C|Net article implies that people who don't own the software are the ones that are downloading it, but it seems to me that most of the people downloading really old software have bought it in the past. Otherwise, why not pirate something new and shiny?
I grew up playing computer games, so you can imagine my joy at finding out that all of those old C64 and PC games were still around. I could relive Rock N' Bolt, Ghetto Blaster, Zak McKracken, and all the other classics! I owned all of the copyrighted stuff a while ago, isn't it legal for me to get it back?
What was this article about again? I stopped reading two paragraphs into that vegetarian dogma... Jamie is a cool guy and all, but there was just no need for that.
Website lock-in, as well as the fact that netscape doesn't remember your position when you click on links, is why I tend to browse with the middle button. That is, when there are multiple links on one page that I'm going to use (i.e. in a search engine or reading slashdot), I'll open a new window on the first one, then click+drag from the old window to the new one.
You need some desktop space for this, of course. 800x600 isn't going to cut it. But then, you don't have to sacrifice all your netscape windows when one of them goes running amok.
Hehe, that was a great parody. Sure, the audio was 15 seconds out of sync with the video, which was some kind of pixely thing that I couldn't make out...
Well, whatever./Any/ kind of un-streaming format would be fine so that I could download it overnight and watch it later. Even that sorenson crap that I'm so quick to bash at:)
I live in rural pennsylvania where DSL/Cable internet access is a myth, where Cable Television is fully operational on a good day. Nevertheless, I never connect below 48000, usually at 49333.
Perhaps I just somehow have a really good line, but I think most people just have bad modems. Mine is an external USR 56k. External costs more, but it will work better than your average internal mystery modem...

Yes, quite. Probably not too many other Kev Vances out there looking for a cool 3 digit uid :)
Heh, why not send a nice gift to the president of the MPAA gift-wrapped in that source? :)

/usr/local/bin/gpg
/usr/local/bin/gpg --clearsign
For anyone who actually wants to do this, it's:

To my great surprise, there /was/ an Assembly 2k. I didn't go, but I doubt there were a lot of great new demos going on...

Gnutella and 56k modem in the same post? Sorry, that thing will even saturate a DSL given time; your modem won't stand a chance.
Heh, there was a Parking Lot is Full comic about that once, but I can't find it. Grr...
More session timeouts! Aaaah! :)
Fully working drivers? No such thing :)
You know, I suggested something along those lines once. Only it was more of an elite omega force type thing.
The problem's on both ends. It's completely blocked by the corporate firewall over here, and from home (ah, ssh :) it's unresponsive.
