I'll bite. I play video games WITH my children. I watch TV WITH my children. I would never EVER let anyone walk up to my children and give them hardcore pornography. My oldest can't have an email address because I can't prevent pornographic spam. I couldn't be a more responsible parent. I love them dearly.

Everyone always says that the Xbox is enormous. I'm watching my son play Mario Sunshine on my cube right now. In order to play it, you must pull the GameCube out of the entertainment center. Same thing with the Dreamcast next to it. The Xbox, on the other hand, stays put in it's place just above my receiver. My reciever is 1.6 x 1.8 times as large as the Xbox.
My point is that unless it uses batteries, design is more important than weight. It is way easier to pop a game in my Xbox than my GameCube. Way OT, but worth mentioning.
I won't let my five year old have his own mail box because I don't want hot and wet lolitas and horse fuck invitations hitting him. These messages reach children and that is CRIMINAL. The blanket pornography that is spam's staple must cease.

Agreed. My last job had sprint for an on-call phone. SLA's would be broken as sprint would send the voicemails hours or even WEEKS late. Sprint voice mail is atrocious, and you NEVER EVER hear about it.
look at Palm OS. It is small, fast, reliable and I have never seen it crash.
I love my Palm. It is the only thing that keeps me on time to anything. It is entertaining, it is simple, hell even my wife loves hers. Mine is even my telephone now.
But it crashes. Yup. It does. Usually because of bad apps, sometimes because of hung modules.
Profitable game companies (or games departments of larger organizations) means more kick ass games for me. Let Sony/MS/Nintendo make a buck on this; the entertainment value in my life is priceless.
There is not a game company alive that works for the good of humanity.
My understanding is that the reason the government is forcing HDTV signals is that they take up less bandwidth in transit because they are compressed.
In Japan where HDTV was launched analogue some time ago the bandwidth usage is horrendous, not this implementation.
'Course, that's just what I read in Time magazine 4 years ago or so. They had only one picture of a Japanese HDTV, displaying a volleyball game. fun yah.
Okay. This is what I said above. The setup program will not allow you to do so because it's a bad thing to have a boot partition on nt4 larger than 7.8 GB. It won't format bigger than 4 GB because it formats as FAT and then converts it. I think it's a bad design, but oh well. In windisk you can create as large a partition as you wish afterwards for your apps/data.
If this isn't clear, please discuss it offline with me (or start modding me up too for the discussion, moderators; i am the one answering the queries for pete's sake:) )
Umm... I'm not sure how to respond. I have several partitions larger than 4GB on my NT4 box... Perhaps best to email me directly and tell me the steps you are going through to create a partition. Cheers.
It appears that what most (modded up) people here are saying is that the law is unfair. Railing against unfair laws is a time honored tradition of America, going back to before we were a nation. While I won't choose to dive in this argument, there are many laws which I think are just plain wrong.
Of course, the only one which comes to mind is legalization of marijuana. Prolly says alot.
Good information. NT4, however, can easily address much much larger drives at boot time, that's not the issue. If the real mode boot loader tries to access any files that any portion of which is put past 7.8 GB the magic stops and the blinking cursor arrives. This is why NT4 tries to stop you, and why, as many people pointed out, you have to "jump through hoops" to do it wrong.
This is all addressed in later versions. NT4 is a festering piece of sh!t.
Not true. 4GB FAT partitions, while possible, are a Bad Idea. The clusters are HUGE. Slack is going to take away too much of your disk.
As for the single 27GB partition for NT4, that will work for awhile. The real mode boot loader is unable to read anything past 7.8 GB no matther what you do (except overwrite the ntdetect.com and ntldr with the ones from Windows 2000). If you leave it this way, one day a file set to boot or a piece of the registry will be beyond 7.8 GB and all you will get on boot is a blinking cursor. Seen it a million times.
Don't believe me though... see http://www.win2000mag.com/Articles/Index.cfm?Artic leID=8963 or any of millions of other sources.
NT4's 7.8 GB limitation for it's system drive has nothing to do with intentional limitations. It's simply a matter of bad choices in memory segmentation for the boot loader. Real mode only gives you so much, you know.
Of course, the IDE 10 GB limitation is just poor timing for driver revisions and launch dates, but easily resolved.
One of my old coworkers at a previous job supported WIndows for Workgroups 3.11. Really challenging from what she said. The support issues with that OS were ironed out YEARS ago. Nowadays it takes little more than a good support script to read off to satisfy the vast majority of Windows 3.1x issues. (She and her coworkers used to play Frisbee while on calls. Just a long cord, wide aisles, and hours of fun. Fun yah!) Plus the new software/hardware market for Windows 3.1x is dormant at best.
On the other hand, Windows95 systems have many more capabilities and require actual human beings to troubleshoot and whatnot.
So considering how much more money the must be losing to support Windows95, and how cheaply Windows 3.1x can be supported, it probably makes sense in a capitalist way. Course, I could be reading too much into it.

Geez that was tough. I don't think you'll find anyone defending Win9x, but you don't often see people attacking it anymore (unless they are desperate to make a point). Don't take offense to that, but NTFS does work if you ask it to.
Anyway, there is no such thing as a short, simple explanation of security best practices, framework, etc. It is a mindset. Secure it until it doesn't work, open it until it does, standardize on it, and be fluid enough to rip it all out and start over if necessary. OS specifics are detailed out in the man pages/.hlp/.chm/whatever.
You people are astonishing. You are going to spend $300 of your money to play old games that already work with your pc with no trouble only to take a stab at MS? Pathetic.
Riddle me this, slashdotters: is it profit that is evil, or MS? All this griping about closed source, proprietary game systems. OF COURSE THEY ARE PROPRIETARY! THAT'S HOW THIS WORKS.
Carmack said something to the effect of Microsoft is a better console evil overlord that Sony or Nintendo and he is spot on correct. Read your console history, then come and be l33t and condescending.
I don't have a website to air my complaints. I do have many complaints about NT/2K whatever. I will not, however, use your invitation to troll as such.

Whistler is a mountain, good skiing. Check out the current codenames at MS, you'll see the pattern. Must be a project lead you likes to ski.
The eletric company lets us hook up multiple devices.
They have every reason to - every device you connect is money in their pocket. Not to imply that the electric utilities want to you waste energy...
The water company lets us hook up multiple spigots.
See above.
Those laptops run DOS and are connected by RS232. My (suicidal) friend has one in his rx7.
