Actually, for a home network with a broadband Internet pipe, I would probably use NetBEUI for the SMB services, precisely because it is non-routable. It works fine on small nets, and the non-routability makes it much harder for unauthorized external users (i.e. crackers) to mount shares.
A GBA user can use the Bluetooth adapter in numerous ways including: connecting to the Internet through their PC via a Bluetooth USB adapter, through a Bluetooth enabled cell phone, person to person, or through a nReach deployed "Hot Spot". These nReach "Hot Spot" environments are being deployed by various retailers, malls, and locations that cater to gamers of all ages.
Make no mistake, their market is retailers who want to flood kids with ads. I'm sure that their patent application will emphasize the link to their "hot spots" and delivery of targeted marketing materials.
It's been a very long time since I read the books, but wasn't it later on that Gollum's ancestry was revealed? ISTR that we find that out in The Two Towers.
Use the server heat to your advantage!

Home Server Rooms?

At the college I addended, the Computing Center was actually a Depression-era stone church. The architects had built a new building inside the church, and the machine room provided the heat for the building! I'm not suggesting that a home server room will heat the entire house (unless you're installing an S/390), but an HVAC contractor may be able to come up with a way to use the server heat productively.
Let's see, it's been a long time since my TRS-80 Assembler days, but I tend to agree with er0ck and AC. There was nothing particular about the BC pair (A was the accumulator that had special powers), IIRC. But I have to wonder whether the 0FFFF would be interpreted as a two's complement -1, count down half the time that 65535 would imply (down to -32767,and then rolling over to 0 and testing out).
"Unauthorized review?" Even if posting the Win95 warning _did_ constitute that, wouldn't that simply be a violation of the applicable EULA? Since the stores aren't running the software, they can't be held accountable to the license.
FWIW, I am not interested in this new ecomstation thingie. I can't figure out who would want it. First time OS/2 users? No fucking way. Nobody should switch to OS/2 at this point, unless they're unlucky enough to inherit my job or something. Old OS/2 users upgrading? No, none of the new features of this version of OS/2 would be useful to someone who is already getting by wiht Warp 4. I just don't get it.
Some useful features in eCS and not in MCP:
The Developer's Toolkit
Lotus SmartSuite
StarOffice (no longer available for OS/2)
Now, if they'd only get a license for Stardock's Object Desktop....
This morning's Portland Press Herald story specifically mentions the upcoming Gates Foundation grant. Hopefully, the January session of the Legislature won't take that as a chance to re-appropriate the rest of the trust fund.
Home is a strict subset of Pro. Therefore, Pro has everything that Home has, including Luna (the new interface that looks like a kindergarten Aqua). It also means that one set of drivers fits all XP versions.
Key add-ons when you buy Pro are SMP support and (I think) NTFS and ACL's. This means you can hide stuff without worrying that someday someone will discover how to work Explorer.
I am sure that there are other add-ons in the Pro package, but these struck me as the most useful.
Unfortunately, ISPs are not yet afforded "common Carrier" protections in the US, which is what shields the telcos from liability for the actions of their users. However, in the US, that protection usually also forces the carrier to file tariffs with the FCC. However, physical transportation companies have had the filing requirements removed since 1994 and kept common carrier status, so there is precedent.
Whereas objects are a convenient way for programmers to organize things, they are not a natural abstraction for an end user. Creating a UI model that matches the implementation model is almost always a mistake.
Ever try the Workplace Shell? You actually had a template library from which you would drag an icon to the desktop (or a folder) to instantiate a new file / program icon / folder of type X.
Now that I think of it, I don't believe we were ever told whether he really comes from the South or not; he just has the accent. Many pilots affect the soft Texas twang of Chuck Yeager as a tribute-cum-wannabe thing; Tucker's accent may be an extension.

Part of it (IBM's decision to abandon OS/2) was definitely Microsoft related -- MS didn't grant them the OEM license for Win95 until very late in the game, largely due to the fact that they had a competing OS. However, IBM politics also played a big role, and Tom Nadeau has a rant on the subject which tells a lot about it. (Brad Wardell has a column on the same subject somewhere on stardock.com (hey!

4.3. How much will M400 cost?
In limited production (500 units per year) the M400 Skycar will sell for a price comparable to that of a four-passenger high performance helicopter or airplane, approximately $500,000. As the volume of production increases substantially, its price can approach that of a quality automobile ($60,000-$80,000).
This is cool, so long as Cyc doesn't have the same prime datum as the far more primitive tool, named Springhead, that a friend of mine wrote in college on his way to his Ph.D.:
"Springhead wants world conquest."
Of course, Springhead's database was packed full of such useful items as "Kirk likes sheep," so I doubt he'll attain his goal any time soon (if he's still out there).
Yes, I've heard of IPSec, but I was under the impression that implementations thereof were still essentially vendor-specific (IOW, that there was no such thing as a IPSec client that can connect to any IPSec gateway, the way a browser can connect toany standard http website). If I'm wrong, I'm wrong.
It would really help if the questioner would say what sort of VPN he is trying to connect to. If the office has already standardized on a platform, then there's no point in asking us what kind of client exists for it: what's available is what the vendor makes. None of these are generic with the possible exception of ssh.

So you don't need Windows boxes to act as BDC's. Redundancy in essential network services is a Good Thing.

I have to say it... the IBM logo itself is pretty cool. Much better than any of the "Ready! For OS/2"-type logos we saw on old VESA video cards.
When will it hit the stores?
The price is in there... taken from the FAQ page:
4.3. How much will M400 cost?
In limited production (500 units per year) the M400 Skycar will sell for a price comparable to that of a four-passenger high performance helicopter or airplane, approximately $500,000.
