The _software_ companies give [their _software_] away for free. You can build a phone if you want, install Android on it, and sell it without paying Google anything. There's a ton of Chinese companies doing just that; Amazon does it to

Gmail, Docs, and Calendar weren't around in 2000. The first release of Gmail wasn't until invite-only beta in 2004[0] (invites were required until 2006/7); Google bought Upstartle (Writely -> Docs) and released Docs and Ca

An easy way around this is the `subst` command, which lets you map a folder to a drive letter; if it happens frequently, write up a batch/vbs script and put it in the right-click memu. Of course, if you extracted a prank zip file, you

Any source for this? I see no reason why the same character can't be used in multiple places. Parser should parse the command line until it finds a command, then send the rest of the line to it, regardless of content...

Dosbox runs windows 3.1 perfectly, with resolutions up to at least 1280x1024 (what I use for tetris) _or_ true color mode (unfortunately not both). You can supposedly install 95/98 in it, but I've had trouble actually using them i
