No, old Pentium IIIs are most certainly useful, if they can run Linux. With a light distro like Slax, it will make a perfectly good word processor/browsing machine.
Ok, so it's just MS's normal routine of trying to preserver Windows' dominance. Let's just all tag this mslockin and hope it's so slow and expensive that it crashes and burns.
Well, from what I've experienced dual-booting Ubuntu and XP (I'm much more familiar with Windows), it seems like X-servers break a lot easier than XP's GUI when the user messes with things. However, Windows seems to break itself (when you aren't tampering) much more often than Linux does.
I am personally against the current form of net neutrality. I think that government intervention is almost always bad. The ONLY regulations that should be passed:
1. All common carriers must allow other providers to connect to them on a naked pipe 2. All providers must support standard protocols.* 3. Providers may only prioritize data/bandwidth based on protocol, not orgin/destination. 5. No data/bandwidth throttling, only prioritization.
*I'd leave defining "standard" up to ICAAN, with these additional rules: 1. The protocol must be open - anyone can see how it works and get specs for it. 2. Usage or modification of the protocol must not be restricted by patents or copyright.
Wait a second - this happens to XP?? I don't care what they do to Vista, but if they mess up XP I will be very very angry! At least I haven't booted XP today, so I still have a chance to stop it.
The solution is for every one of us affected by the problem to mail Microsoft a physical piece of paper expressing our outrage. Physical mail is much better than email because they will have a big pile of matter that has to be moved by paid humans, instead of just deleted instantly by a computer.
I had another idea: the main panel and layers ought to be combined into a single tabbed window and stuck the side like Google Toolbar does on XP (it makes maximized applications think that the screen is smaller, so it is never hidden).
But this probably wouldn't float because it has to work on so many platforms.
The controller is not human. It's a central "brain" computer. Yeah, it's programmed by a human, but the humans wrote a program that detect probing and orders the zombies to attack it.
Ubuntu goes out of its way to get out of your way... Vista goes out of its way to be Vista and enforce the Vista way. This is very, very true. I'm using Kubuntu right now, and I don't "feel" like I'm "using" an OS. I mean, it just seems like I'm using a computer to run programs. On Vista, (which I thankfully only have to use when fixing some PCs) I am constantly reminded that I am running Vista.
US crime vs British and Australian crime immediately made me think of gun control. I don't have a bunch of statistics off the top of my head, but it sure would make sense.
Well, like you mentioned, ham radio is a great way to make long-range data connections. It's very easy to imagine ham's setting up an internet link to disrupted areas.
I develop on a platform called Game Maker. It's kinda slow and bulky, but it makes game development fast and easy and there are quite a few good casual games made with it (goto yoyogames.com to see some).
Game Maker makes DirectX games which don't work in WINE, but the runner is currently being ported from Delphi to C++ to allow the games to be played on Macs, and I'm hoping it will have a side-effect of finally allowing Game Maker-made games to run with WINE. So hopefully there will be a LOT more games available around the middle of 2008. I sure hope so, because I hate booting XP to run my own games.
The rule smacks of "Fairness Doctrine", which is "fix" for something the free market didn't get right. Apparently all those commuters listen to Limbaugh on accident. Or, better for us tinfoil hatters, those nasty conservatives put magnets in all the radio dials!
I for one applaud efforts to deregulate the free market. Supply and demand tends to work pretty well.

But Wilson wants the new language to be proprietary MS stuff. That's the big catch.
Eeek! He's still sane! Quick, more slashvertizing!

Almost all PIII-era Intel Integrated Graphics chips won't allow Live CD's to start. They just hang when you try to load the kernel.
It would be nice to put all those old boxes to use.

Are you sure that isn't just your bias?
I guess I just numbered wrong...sorry about that.
It is government intervention, but it's a lot less than the massive document that is currently Net Neutrality.

GIMP is not just for Windows, remember.

GIMP needs a GUI makeover to be more like Krita.

Isn't it kinda hard for MS to detect OS'es on other partitions without supporting their file systems?
