I cannot get the window to pop up again, but the scanner console says there was an infected file scanned, and every time I try to copy, rename, move, or create a file with the same contents, the file gets a.vir extension added to it. Changing the name of that file doesn't remove the.vir extension.

I agree. I use them at home on the computer when I want to play games and my wife wants to watch TV. They cancel out the computer fans, the TV, etc and they sound very good.
I've brought them into work and used just the noise cancelling part (no source music or anything) in the server rooms where usually anything below a dull shout from point blank range will go unheard. I was able to hear conversations occurring across the room with little difficulty.
Everyone that I have let try them out was amazed at how much sound is cancelled out, meaning how much noise there is all the time even in "quiet" rooms. Most people just ignore the sounds of computer fans, refrigerator, etc, but put these on for 5 seconds with noise cancelling on, then turn it off and you're amazed at how much extra sound there is. Plus someone can still talk to you and it won't cancel them out (can be good or bad).
Like the other reply to your message, I was trying to leave it a little open ended where you could potentially have the need to dress someone else, or for someone else to dress you.

I taught a C++ data structures course and used bogo-sort on a test to see if the students understood O() notation. I explained what it was based on using real word example of playing 52 card pickup until the cards were sorted, then left them to figure out if it would have a good runtime or not.

I installed and ran ZoneAlarm on my machine after the corporate IIS server here got CodeRed and fuggered up my machine as well. IT policy was to get the machine off the network, no questions, no exceptions, despite the fact I had cleaned up the worm and had ZoneAlarm installed.
Ended up installing Win2k server as well so I could get everything patched and fixed that hadn't been done with Win2k.
ZoneAlarm was catching updwards of 800 unique Codered and nimda scans from computers infected inside the firewall. I called IT and gave them filtered ZoneAlarm logs with these IPs so they could work on getting the infected machines fixed up. They responded with physically pulling the plug on my network connection and saying that since Win2k server wasn't officially supported, they were going to re-image it with Win2k.
Long story short, after requesting IIS not be installed or enabled if it was, my PC came back with Win2k and a fresh install of CodeRed. I formatted and reinstalled with WinXP beta and ZoneAlarm. I kept sending them logs from ZoneAlarm and they were also afraid ZoneAlarm was some sort of hacking tool and how in the world could I figure out these computers were infected with the worms?
They told me they couldn't trust ZoneAlarm after all this... Funny since it was catching 80% more IPs than the hardware firewall they were using to catch infected machines...
So does this "per user" licensing mean I could install Word on all 1000 lab computers and as long as John and Mary are the only ones that use Word, I only need two licenses?
If the license is per user, then it seems to me that the computer it is being used on doesn't matter as the license is carried with the individual.

It would appear this guy wrote his own license rather than getting a lawyer to do it for him. It looks like it confuses system requirements (like the side of boxed software) with requirements for running. Also, it doesn't say you have to have a printer attached, it just says it is "able to produce printed output on a local printer."
All the computers I have used have the ability to produce printed output on a local printer. If you hook the printer to the computer, it'll be able to produce output. The fact that the printer *isn't* hooked up to the computer doesn't detract from its ability to produce output to a local printer.
Maybe it just means no computers with a fried parrallel or USB port?
Again, I think it comes mainly from the agreement being written by a non-lawyer, but by someone who is so nervous about not getting paid every time his software is run that he's got to specifically say that you can't even let other people run the software... Pretty paranoid I think.
According to the license info page the royalty scheme is determined by date, apparently starting on September 1, 1001 and going until March 1, 2003. Now I don't know a lot about patents, copyright law, and what not, but over 1001 years to be having all the rights on a patent seems a bit crazy...

Not to defend AIM, but there are good things and bad things about how ICQ and AIM do their user id scheme. With AIM, you must have a unique name, thus leading to the "l33t" names or bob44521, etc. However, it's probably a lot harder to come up with AIM names to spam because the names are not predictable. I don't think I've ever received AIM spam.
ICQ uses a number for its ID, and the number has to be unique. This lets the nicknames, names etc. all be anything you want them to be. There can be 52 different ICQ accounts named "BeastyXXX" or whatever. Again, this is good or bad. It's good since you don't have to come up with a "l33t" name. It's bad because the numbers are predictable, and this makes ICQ the breeding ground for spammers. It also makes it tougher (impossible?) to block all the different "BeastyXXX" or other spammers since they can either start a new account, or simply fake the ICQ number.
Not true. I am into computers, and programming, and thus into computer and programming books. Unsolicited email, be it from O'Reilly, InformIT or what have you, would end up in the trash. There have been rare, very rare times when a piece of spam got my attention enough to read any, let alone scroll down to the second page.
Spammers are not smart (or pyschic) enough to send me spam for something I was interested in purchasing.
If I want or need a book or some other merchandise, I know where to go look for it, and I'm certainly not going to go hunt through my trash to find some spam that may have adverised that item.
Spam is _totally_ useless, not just mostly. If Westley/Dread Pirate Roberts in Princess Bride were as dead as spam is useless, there would be no bringing him back, and the movie would've been pretty short.

The network support _is_ there. It's not network for multiplayer though, it's networked so you can set up multiple computers (and hence multiple monitors), and have on monitor where you play, one monitor with the world map showing your connections and the progress of traces against your, and another monitor showing your status in the game along with all the most recent headlines. It's very cool playing it like this.
