That disabled motorbike is awesome. Its essentially a trike then, except you sit off centre.

Okay, all a pointer is is a number (indeed to see it in C use the & operator). Its a number standing for a memory address (like a co-ordinate). You use -> to operate on the thing which the pointer points to. Simply put, a linked list is a data …

historically it was the other way around as loads of wemen died in childbirth

you could write a batch script that forwards the output of the DIR command to the printer fairly simple

i like the new partitioner Oh yeah, in case anyone is wondering why VirtualPC sound doesnt work in vista its because vista got rid of all ISA support and VirtualPC emulates an ISA soundblaster card. Also of note is the fact virtualPC will not boot the vista image itself

Why not hide it using some sort of rootkit? perhaps abuse the ADS feature of the NTFS filesystem.
