Which they didn't. IIRC they hired him around the date of KDE 1.0, which
was about 2 years later.

I understand the difference between a process and an app sitting on
disk, which is not executing.
If you drop, say, an html document on netscape it opens it, which I
think is sensible behaviour.
The vast majority of documents I deal with, I don't randomly imbed them
in various places, I open them. It makes sense to open a document when
it is dropped in the icon (representation, so task bar buttons count) ap
an app, whether running or not (also, it is awkward to drop stuff on to
desktop icons, since you have to minimize everything first). Secondly,
if you are, say, dragging a block of text, it makes no sense to `open'
it, so then it would make sense raising an app so that the block of text
can be imbedded. I'm sure it is intelligent enough to do that.

Where did I mention DHCP? I mentioned changing the DNS settings for
all Windows based hosts globally & unattended by a few lines in a login
script, hardly a burden on a sysadmin. If you really want DNS to be
standard, feel free to point your *nix boxes at the Windows 2000 DNS.
However, the resistance of *nix admins to give up control of the DNS is
why I suggested a Windows based subdomain.
I can't see the nightmare scenario you suggest. It is trivial to
rollout changes of this nature to all Windows based hosts with minimal
effort, and no client visit required. If all you need to do is change
Windows based machines, the technologies are all already there, you
just have to understand how to use them.
As for DNS being standard, it really doesn't matter what you point at
as long as it works... Windows 2000 based DNS is minimal admin - set
and forget and clients register themselves (or are registered by the
DHCP server) - as opposed to updating a text file.

Like I say in another post, if you want to simplify the DNS, use BIND
8.1 (?) or later on your *nix box to provide the DNS infrastructure for
Windows & *nix. There's more than one way to skin a cat, whichever
fits your infrastructure best is going to be different for each
instance. Where I work, we simply set up a subdomain nt.mydomain.com,
forward everything else to the *nix DNS & no problem. I have yet to
see a problem with this.
I still don't see why you're making this out to be such a big issue.
It would seem to me to be a lack of understanding on your part of the
different ways of using Windows 2000 DNS.

Chad, I am sure that you are aware that the federal government classifies
encryption technology/software as munitions. That is the reason for the
export restrictions, not to protect the software industry.

I have never hear that proverb, but I have heard this Chinese one that may
be the source of the Japanese one.
"Give a man a fish and you have fed him for a day; but, teach a man how to
fish and you have fed him for life."

Natural fluctuation...In other words, a NON-ISSUE.
Do you know *WHY* the ozone-layer thins over the south pole during
the southern-hemisphere winter?
1) Ozone is produced by ultraviolet rays interacting with oxygen
atoms in the upper atmosphere
2) Ozone breaks down over time
3) Any airmasss which doesn't get exposed to ultraviolet light
experiences a decrease in ozone levels
4) Each polar region experiences a 90-day "night" during that
hemisphere's winter.

No such thing is happening. A 2-mile hole in the cap was cleared by
ice-breakers as a PUBLICITY STUNT. If this were a GENUINE process,
then the whole ice cap would have been broken up....not PACKED LIKE
A GLACIER as shown in the publicity-stunt photograph.

They are the best known wealthy-assholes in these parts. They are
all known for pandering to the poor by promoting legislation that
is harmful to anybody trying to improve their own personal economic
situation.
Socialism is merely a way for the "kings of the mountain" to
a) install underground refrigeration to freeze the mountain side, and
b) hose down the mountain side with water until it's covered with
a sheet of ice...
All at the expense of those on the bottom

I: "Having found not one single carbon monoxide leak on the entire
premises, it is my belief, and Willard concurs, that the reason
you folks feel listless and disoriented is simply because
you are lazy, stupid people"
J: Loren Petrich's 2-week stubborn refusal to respond to the
challenge to describe even one philosophical difference
between himself and the communists demonstrates that, in fact,
Loren Petrich is a COMMUNIST ***hole
A: The wise man is mocked by fools.
B: "Jeem" Dutton is a fool of the pathological liar sort.
C: Jet plays the fool and spews out nonsense as a method of
sidetracking discussions which are headed in a direction
that she doesn't like.
D: Jet claims to have killfiled me.
E: Jet now follows me from newgroup to newsgroup
...despite (D) above.
F: Neither Jeem nor Jet are worthy of the time to compose a
response until their behavior improves.
G: Unit_4's "Kook hunt" reminds me of "Jimmy Baker's" harangues against
adultery while concurrently committing adultery with Tammy Hahn.
H: Knackos...you're a retard.
