Office 2003 is already offering this cutely integrated, with a new icon, at least in word and excel, just near the print icon.
And, of course, by the looks of the stuff I've read on the dialog boxes and on the MS site which "explains" what is WRM, this just works with... MS apps.
But they got a plugin for IE which lets you see the WRM docs if you don't got office...
(How's that to break compability with import filters!)
At my university, there were a few rooms with good old VT's, which allowed to change the key combination of how to switch the session. To login we used to do something like: rl -l login server, then it prompted us to enter the password.
It was just a question of changing the switch session to Ctrl-J (that is, enter...), and voila! after the user entered the password, it was sent back to the login, with a background session running.
Of course many of the people started to knew the trick, but still got many people unaware.
Here in Portugal, it also is available now for more than 4 years, but beyond the popularity at the beggining, when the people were getting their cards send by the bank for free, trying the new gadgets, etc. it just dimmed away.
Beyond all the problems that all the posters speak (not able to know how much do we have on the card without going to an ATM, can't borrow money from someone who has it, can't loan easily money to your children...) as we have a great ATM system - best in europe!;) - everyone is too much used to just make a transfer to the wallet when needed or a payment in some shop.
On the security side, here at last they used smartcards, so you would need a *really* big magnet to erase the card.
I still have mine here on my wallet: wonder if it still works...
I think you've got the wrong perspective on the subject: web services are to be used more (at least in the beggining) in a B2B enviroment - for companies to communicate with each other. That's what UDDI, SOAP, etc. are for, and that's where the "collaborative" is used.
But you've got a big problem - efficiency - just imagine how can you implement things like transactions over HTTP. And that's what this protocol is aiming to solve.
What? Don't be ridiculous! With that line of tought you are going to say that MS is above USA government and that they form a shadow government who uses their upgrades as a form of taxation! spooky!

Are you really sure that it has a) real beneficts and b) that strong appeal??
First the beneficts are there when you think of something like surfing the web... (oh no another portal, another login, another password) and when the most things sites can track is metainformation (I usualy don't feel the forms with real values, just a valid email if I don't feel confortable). Ok, sometimes is needed the full information and there I take great care to try to hold my privacy close.
But if you think in broader terms, *why* do I want (I as in a non-technical user) to have the same login to that news portal I visit sometime and for instance my *medical records*??? It's the same thing to have a key that opens my car, my house, my locker at college, my vault in the bank, my office door at work! Why do someone want that? I really don't think I wanted that!
If some mugger just happened to rob me, he didn't just walks away with my wallet: he could be walking away with all my belongings!!!
While we don't have a technical solution good enough to face a centralized atack on the key and survive (maybe it cames from biometry, don't know..) probably it's not going to have that strong appeal....
Slashdot Mirror
Also happened to me... when I hit refresh it returned results... some bugs still need to be ironed out, I guess.
;)
But at the least in the title bar it appears:
Linux -- More useful everyday
wich is quite right!

Even with terminals, you could hack them! :)

it's that extra line that separates de skripitie kidd1e from the great true hacker!!!

that's when the part about security kicks in (did you read the article?)
both parts, efficiency and security are being the great problems with web services (think transactions over http!).
this guy is dealing with the first. now please someone deal with the second. they are ortogonal aspects.
pipelining enables you to mantain an open TCP connection betweeen the browser and the server and reuse that connection to send the subsequent requests
but... that is done serially! what this protocol aims to do is to be parallel!
just do your research.. ;)

If it was a couple of years ago, you could go with something like
// FREE KEVIN!
:)
char *kevin =..; free(kevin);
and also make a political statement!
Like chicken? :)
Doesn't anything "lab flavoured" taste like chicken? I though that was already assumed..
first was the cyber-café, now the cyber-park...
what's next??? cyberspace???
some day are people debating if someone really hacked into that big mainfraine and if it was made of cheese....
I'll fix that in a moment... I've got my super mega hiper moderator points ready to use.. and... err... oops.. I shoudn't had post this... had I?
Is something fishy going on... : )
