9/11    I've got a Windows 2000 machine with a 10GB disk. I've got
        a new fast 80GB disk, and I'd like to copy the whole
        windows installation from one disk to the other.
        Any recommendations on how to do this?
        Is linux fdisk and dd the right solution?
        \_ WooOOOOooooOOOooo!!! Use GhoooOOOooooOOoost!!!
        \_ Norton Ghost is the way to go ... Is it happy with all-NTFS yet?
        the version I've got can copy NTFS to and from FAT32 but not NTFS,
        since it's running on DOS.  I only mention this because I think FAT32
        conks out at 32 Gb? Someone please correct ...
           \_ FAT32 does not conk out at 32GB, however, W2k conks out trying
              to create FAT32 >32GB.  It's not a limitation of FAT32, but a
              W2k bug.  You can create FAT32 partition greater than 32GB even
              with FreeBSD.  W2k will read it just fine, too.  It just can't
              create it.  Talk about software quality control.
        \_ Most versions of Ghost should handle it just fine, using
           disk-to-disk.  It can't put the image file (*.gho) onto an NTFS
           partition, but it can restore the image to an NTFS partition.
           I believe linux "dd" might also be a solution (say, using a Knoppix
           live CD and dup'ing disk to disk).  But I've never tried it.
        \_ FAT16 conks out at 2GB...
           \_ the current disk has one 10GB NTFS partition. -op
                \_ Then ghost disk-to-disk is your best bet.

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

        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?

        \_ hardly, My winbox stays up longer.
        \_ Nobody cares about uptime anymore brother, that's what web2.0 has
