Look, funkybreath, quit talking about linux. Every time you say

Just a copy of it.
That goes against the comments
embedded in the source code and against the GPL. The copyright owner owns
the software, not the licensee.
No, the copyright owner owns the intellectual property, not the
software. According to some theory, there is a magical 'original copy'
which the author always owns, but the fact is that is a crutch for those
who can't grasp abstractions. In reality, if you purchased a 'software
package', then you own that software package.
You don't own that "software package". All you own is the "package"[ing].
A plastic and aluminium disk worth a few pennies, and a few pieces of paper
on which the manufacturer may have printed some information. You've also
paid for the right to use (not "own") the information on the disk within
defined parameters.
Trying to confuse things
with epistemological double-speak has no bearing on the matter.

Multi user is when you share the servers/workstation resources
(CPU/Mem/hdd space) with multiple users. NT has never had multi-user
support until Citrix released Citrix Winframe, which allows a sort of
suedo multi-user system possible.
This statement is blatantly false.
But true in a practical sense.
To prove this, fire up rcmd under a different user, and connect to a
NT/2000
machine.
And try to run all your applications.
Check the 'owner' of the objects, and you will see that they are owned by
the user that connected with rcmd. When something is executed on the NT
machine, the process and everything else is owned by the rcmd user. You
can
have different users at the same time, of course, each using their own
resources.
But the applications - remember the reason you have the computer and
OS in the first place - virtually all insist on using only the console and
NT has no concept of sharing that access among multiple users at the
same time.
Please brush up on your NT knowledge.
He understands the situation. As does Citrix and MS itself since there
are extra-cost add-ons to work around this omission.

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q101/6/70.ASP
Where does it say that what it considers as a transaction includes the
data? I question this because I have seen other sources that said it
didn't.
When a user updates a file, the Log File Service records all redo and
undo
information for the transaction. For recoverability, redo information
allows
NTFS to roll the transaction forward (repeat the transaction if
necessary),
and undo allows NTFS to roll the transaction back if an error occurs.
You are extremely gullible if you take that statement as saying that the
data is considered part of the transaction. I always assume the worst
out of habit when I see any such omission of details in a warm-fuzzy
description, especially from a certain large company, but I see someone
else posted the link to the admission that it doesn't.
From: http://www.executive.com/whats-new/whitepaper.asp#_Toc463769977
NTFS is a recoverable file system. This means that operations in NTFS are
transactions, as in a database. Either the entire operation completes or the
operating system has the capability to roll back the unfinished portion,
safeguarding the integrity of the existing data. NTFS also stores redundant
copies of critical file system structures in the unlikely event that
physical damage makes one copy of them inaccessible.
Or: http://www.digit-life.com/articles/ntfs/index.html
Journalising
NTFS is a fail-safe system which can correct itself at practically any real
failure. Any modern file system is based on such concept as transaction -
the action made wholly and correct or not made at all. NTFS just doesn't
have intermediate (erratic or incorrect) conditions - the data variation
quantum cannot be divided on before failure or after it bringing breakups
and muddle - it is either accomplished or cancelled.
None of this talks about file content being journalled - its not in
NTFS.

mlw (excluding backward compatibility in an existing product)
C is better that C++ in the fact that C is more portable. C++ is not
yet implemented in (no so) many platforms while C is implemented
everywhere. Also, some implementations of C++ are not complete and
most are way behind in ANSI C++ compliance.
But that is it. Some will argue that C++ is bloated. Nonsense.
C++ is a great programming language and as I mentioned before I don't
think there is a general dislike of C++ in the open source/free
software community. Sure, RMS tells us to use C unless there is no
other way (read the GNU guidelines), but many free software projects
use C++ (QT, KDE, Blackbox, Lyx, to name a few famous ones).

You claim the CO2 level is higher now that it was 600 years ago based on
experiments on artic ice. You claim that CO2 levels are higher in North
America when the facts prove they are in deficit!
You don't understand what is being discussed. North America as a

Nope.
Can You name a PC application in the last ten years that isn't based on

Are you asking me? If you think I'm a Microsoft fan, you couldn't be
more wrong, but I'll take a stab at it.
Lessee... there was "Bob". Hmmm... welll, nevermind that one...
Excel. They stole the idea of a spreadsheet, but they did write the
product. Same with Windows. And NT (although they hired the DEC VMS
guy to do it, but I suppose that counts).
Ummm... well, they did _write_ a lot of things (as opposed to
purchasing them outright like SourceSafe or Visio), but I don't think
I can point to anything they can actually claim to have _innovated_.
Which is why it's always so comical to hear Bill Gates and Steve
Ballmer use the word "innovate". Especially Ballmer, who wouldn't
know innovation if it bit him. All MS ever does is see somebody
else's clever idea and mimic it. And by about the third iteration, it
becomes usable. "Microsoft: Where Quality Is Job 3.1"
Aside from the Bob jokes, Microsoft's claim to fame is the tight and
pervasive level of integration that it has in the OS to the apps. That is
why it became so popular.

You misspelled "despised"
But I'm still waiting to hear about that pre-1980 Unix windowing

What, is it impossible for anybody else in the world to name one of

On a Mac, the same thing as happens when your hard drives have different
names. No problems at all.
What's so difficult about this?

Imagine the following scene...
Example I
=
I insert the "Applications 2" CD into my Linux Mandrake 7.0 system and
click on the CDRom Icon. I'm presented with a web style page of all the
applications on the CD. Very nice.
I pick one and am led to the RPM's directory. I install it, and... cor
blimey guv'nor, where did it go? It apparently installed ok (well, I'm
not absolutely sure about that), but I can't see it on the menu
_anywhere_.
I pick another one, and I click on something that looks remarkably like
a shell script. Nothing happens. I click again... and nothing happens.
I copy the shell script to a seperate directory, and click on it...
nothing happens. I run up an XTerm and run the shell script... ah...
checksum error. Hmm... checksum error on a CDRom?
Now, when I clicked on the same file in kfm, nothing is reported. At
least, not on the desktop. It _is_ reported but "underneath" X - if I
switch to the console (CTRL-ALT-F12). X regularly reports all sorts of
things, but to the process terminal that created it, and not to
anywhere immediately useful!
ACK
This is how Linux is better than Windows?
Even Digital UNIX deliberately put up a console Window so you could
_see_ these rather important messages!
You will be happy to know that this was fixed with Mandrake 7.1 which I
installed recently. It places all gui items on your menus and many non gui
items items. It does this for both KDE ang Gnome at least.
Also with mandrake 7.1 many programs I try to run if they are not
installed it will prompt for a disk to install them since it knows what it
on the cds. You can also type urpmi program and it will install that
program with all deps. If that name is not correct it will give you other
possible names. You can also use rpmdrake. Everything is sorted and you
don't need the CDs in the machine. Clikc on the program you want to
install and it will prompt for the correct disk.
Example II
==
KPackage is a nice tool to load RPM's. Unfortunaly, unlike the super
user version of kfm, it doesn't prompt the user for the root password if
it tries to do something that requires priv's. So, fire up an XTerm,
su, then type xfm. Finally you get what you wanted.
One of the file managers asks you for a password using a Console prompt!
Nothing like a bit of inconsistancy there, huh?
Pete
The easiest way to launch the super user version of kfm is there is an
icon for it in kde. I do not remember what menu it is in for Mandrake 7.0
since they redid the menus in 7.1. They make a lot more sense now.
One of the things I like about mandrake is they have learned from all the
problems you have had. Some things still need to be made smoother but on
the whole it is the best dist I have used. It also comes with reiserfs,
xf 4.0, usb support and many other nice features.
