URL please? Thx.

uptimes.

there? How is their quality compared to other libs you have used
for other langs? Thx.
\_ I use Ruby for hobby stuff, etc. I use libraries for system stuff
(web access, process, etc.) but that's about it. Perl libraries are
much better/more complete. I assume because of the maturity and

explain to me what in the world a "domain" is? I'm familiar with
IP addresses like 128.32.112.233 or domains like http://csua.berkeley.edu

2001/10/25 [Computer/SW/OS/Windows] UID:22824 Activity:high | 10/25 NT was supposed to be much more stable than Win3.x. Then Win2k was
supposed to be much more stable than NT. And now XP is supposed to
be much more stable than 2k. Sigh.
\_ Thing is, Win2k really is more stable than NT. Sure, it locks up
occassionally, but not the seemingly hourly BSODs in NT
\_ Also, XP supposedly "does away with the decades-old DOS fundamentals

It's not a trivial thing for a consumer to use, so it's not
in MS Help. God forbid consumers muck around in c:\windows\.

a lot of small files to a floppy diskette? Copying a few big files
doesn't have this problem. Thx. -- yuen
