1/26    M$ is now coercing system sellers to bundle WFW 3.11.  Which
        means if you buy a new machine now you can't install OS2-Win.
        Which means you have to get OS2 the full version.  Brilliant.
        It's just fucking brilliant.
        \_ I don't get it, how does WFW 3.11 being bundled with a system
           stop you from installing OS2-Win?  Is there something in the
           software that won't let you delete M$ products or something? - norby
        \_ One can always get rid of WFW 3.11 and install W 3.1 followed
           by OS/2 for Windows.  What's so good about WFW 3.11 anyway
           other than 32 bit file access, especially for those who doesn't
           NetWork? - ricky
           \_ But how to find another copy of W 3.1?
           \_   IBM released a version of OS/2 called OS/2 for Windows.
         This version uses the Windows 3.1 code already on your
         system.  This way IBM doesn't have to pay royalties to
         Microsoft for usng M$'s code.  But with 3.11, OS/2
         can't function, because it doesn't understand all of the
         new 3.11 code. -rcham
        \_ Hooray for M$!  Death to OS2!  Windows will take over the world!
           \_ You don't think it was a coinicidence that once Windows was
               introduced, the Soviet Union fell apart?  These things just
               don't "happen". Bill is God. Bill's wife is the new Virgin.
               Bill's offspring will save the world. Repent! Repent! Buy
               Bill's stock! Buy Bill's products! LA wasn't buying enough
               of Bill's stuff, so Bill had to punish them. Remember...
               Always remember the consequences of disobeying Bill.

3/25    It's strange that only every other Windows version is a hit.
        NT 4.0: hit
        2000:   flop
        XP:     hit
        Vista:  flop

2/19    I program a lot by sshing to a Linux cluster.  So I'm used to using
        Xemacs to code.  This works fine from a Linux or Windows workstation,
        but sometimes I have to use a Mac.  On Mac, the meta is usually
        bound to option, but that often doesn't work over ssh for some reason.
        This makes using emacs a real pain.  Any suggestions on how to fix it?

3/15    Why does MS put double-quotes around the '8' in Windows Server 8, like
        the following?
        - Windows 8
        - Windows Server "8"
        \_ Because when they didn't do it, code didn't see the '\0'
           and went over?  Looks better than '8','\0' *shrug*

12/21   In Emacs, how do I make it so that it will resize its screen
        when the maximum resolution of my monitor changes? When I
        use my laptop, my emacs is too big (and I can't resize it
        because the bottom-right corner is not accessible).
        \_ Which OS?  Can't you drag the top border (not a corner) to resize
           the height to be smaller?

11/27   CalMail has been down for a few days (hardware failure and database
        corruption -- sounds like fun!) and is starting to come back online.
        Looks like they're planning to outsource all campus mail to either
        Google Apps or Microsoft 365 as part of Operational Excellence.
