This was a spoof from venture capital firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson for the Sand Hill Challenge (VC Soap Box derby in Silicon Valley about 5 years ago). Its been picked up before as a serious story, here is Jurvetson unveiling the nanocar:
When I worked at Network Associates, someone sent out a fake press release that looked very similar to this on April 1st of this year. looks like they should have taken it a little more seriously.
About 2 years ago I took a software job for minimum wage, at the very least it kept my skills honed and looked more attractive on a resume to be currently working. We worked our butts off and the company actually started to make enough money to back-pay a real salary. We were eventually acquired by a large software company and all made out quite well. Realizing what you can do while sitting at folding tables and plastic lawn chairs in a cramped office is probably the most valuable thing I took from that experience.

They started doing this with the last season of Six Feet Under and Entourage. Switching to Azureus fixed it.

We used to have to change our password every month to a new 10 char (it remembered last 5). I used to just run this VB script:
YOURDOMAIN = domain 'need to change this
user = InputBox("Enter username")
pass = InputBox("Enter password")
Set ns = GetObject("WinNT:")
Set usr = ns.OpenDSObject("WinNT://" & YOURDOMAIN & "/" & user & ",user", user, pass, ADS_SECURE_AUTHENTICATION)
usr.ChangePassword pass, "qazwsxedc1"
usr.ChangePassword "qazwsxedc1", "plmoknijb2"
usr.ChangePassword "plmoknijb2", "owidcjdcd3"
usr.ChangePassword "owidcjdcd3", "iojcdswdo4"
usr.ChangePassword "iojcdswdo4", "vownmdicm5"
usr.ChangePassword "vownmdicm5", pass
MsgBox("Password Changed (not really)")
Finally, who the hell wants to type in a 16 digit credit card number, 4+ digit expiration, name, address, etc, etc, to view a web comic?
Try the Google Toolbar. Works wonders for entering credit card and address info quickly.
