Hey, I'm apparently still subscribed to this thread…

Wouldn't it have just been easier to use the Find applet to search for all MP3 files (i.e., Win+F, search for *.mp3) than to format the HDD?

TCP port 80 is the standard port for HTTP transfers. If the message had any HTML in it at all, I wouldn't be surprised if the email were trying to set a cookie or something else involving an trip to a server (e.g., an 'invisible' GIF…?).

Microsoft still supports Windows 95. I doubt they'll just dr...

another note, is windows xp new coding, or is it built on current stuff?

Mix Windows 2000 with Aqua and add an assinine copy protection system, and you'll have Windows XP.

I'm thinking Linux...

Whoever wrote those articles needs beaten with a clue-by-four. Windows has included Fraunhofer's MP3 encoder for a long time, and it has never been capable of doing more than 56kbps. There is a Professional version available, which is what seems to be distributed with DivX ;-). It can encode at bitr...

Maybe he figures no one will find his illegitimate children if they were born in China.

I've heard in the future they will have an online database with all the CD-Keys; you will have to connect online and give the right CD-Key or you're screwed. References? I don't think much is known about exactly how Windows XP's registration system works. I've heard things ranging from being unplea...

Contrary to what people here think, the gaming market is irrelevent. The operating system used by businesses are what bring in money for companies like Microsoft. Until GNU/Linux gets Microsoft Office, it will never have a chance of replacing Windows. I must admit I've (finally? ;) ) begun to realiz...

What I do to keep ad companies like DoubleClick at bay is to disable all cookies in IE's ‘Internet’ zone, set the ‘Trusted sites’ zone to medium security—the default for ‘Internet’ zone—and put the sites on which I want cookies enabled in the list of trusted sites.

Trying to directly execute Java source code won't work. After compiling the java source file with javac (e.g., <code>javac Foo.java</code>), type <code>java Foo</code> to execute the bytecode stored in the <code>Foo.class</code> file, which was produced by <code>javac</code>. <hr/> Edit: Rewording t...

What's wrong with using Notepad for HTML editing? I personally would rather use VI or Emacs than Notepad, but it works well enough for some a quick edit or two. :) Now writing a several page essay in Notepad, which I've done before, <i>is</i> crazy. ;) <hr /> Update: Just reread your post. Do you me...
