I hope it does..Net should be a replacement API. It is JITed differently on each platform so it could be made to use the platform native API (NT) instead of going through a compatibility layer. All they would need to do is rewrite the class libraries. Any changes made in NT can be reflected in the.Net class libraries as well. Its a way of maintaining App compatibility accross multiple platforms and architectures.
Magrathea Magrathea is a planet whose inhabitants built customized planets for tremendous amounts of money, making Magrathea one of the wealthiest planets in the galaxy. But when the great galactic stock market crash occurred, the Magratheans went into hibernation awaiting the recovery of the economy to the point where their services could once again be afforded. They were later awoken by pan-dimensional beings who had a special order for them; they commissioned the construction of a planet-sized computer named Earth to determine the ultimate question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.
What is so bad about the NT kernel that it needs to be rewritten? I am sure there are security holes in the API layers, services, applications etc. But please show me something that effects the kernel itself. From all accounts NT was written to be a multi-user networked system with security built in from the ground up. Win32 was written for the 9x series which had no security and then stuck on top of NT, any problems with Win32 are not problems with NT itself. A new gui (Aero), API (Avalon/.Net) are the features that are scheduled for Longhorn. Thats probably why it will get so far behind schedule.

That was the first robot vacuum I've seen presented and it seemed to have the most intelligence. They don't seem to have sold very many though. Maybe the price put people off.
When the NT kernel was being designed it had security in mind. There are varying levels of privelige, access control lists for the file system and system objects etc. Some of these features are only appearing in Linux now with 2.6
Sure there have been flaws in the implementation, services turned on, running with system level priveleges with ports exposed to the internet. So Windows the system is not secure out of the box. But is it insecure by design?
A lot of people run windows as an administrator because programs written in the 9x era were not designed with the security model in mind. Programs want to access system level files or registry settings. Windows XP brough the two product lines together but in order to maintain the backwards compatibility they had to sacrifice the security.
Also people hate hitting security barriers whenever they want to reconfigure something.
I would like to see some evidence that a box running NT can NEVER be secure due to its design, rather than just not being currently secure due to its implementation.
All the trolls about MSLinux seem to assume that NT is a terrible cludge that MS ought to abandon and just build a Windows GUI over Linux like Apple did over BSD.
Is NT really flawed in its design or is it just the layers of services, APIs and backwards compatibility fixes that make the current implementations of NT vulnerable.
If all Win32 apps were sandboxed the way win16 apps are and MS migrated to a new API would this solve a lot of the problems?
They both have a few million lawsuits to get through in the next few years. Now would be a good time to become a lawyer. There will be an unlimited supply of work for the next couple of thousand years.
Well Amazon isn't quite so bad, at least your the only person who gets to see all the suggestions. I think its quite scary how they can already profile you so easily, and I tend to end up with more books than I have time to read.
Just imagine you walk into a store and it was more like.. "Hello Mr X, I hope that fungal infection cleared up alright. Perhaps you would like to try some new formula Immodium, works wonders on your Diarrhea"
How about you buy some clothes second hand, and start getting all these suggestions aimed at the previous owner?

Is the "Value" actually stored on the card, or is it just stored in a database linked to the ID that is stored on the card? If it is just an RFID I would suspect it was the latter. Therefore no pickpocketer can extract money from the card just by scanning you.
I suppose someone could scan you as you walked past and then create a new card with the same ID, but all that would get them would be a few train rides and not any actual money.
How many bits are these RFIDs anyway and how easy would it be to fake one?
It works the other way around. If $60 became $250 since 1965 then something that feels as cheap to me as $60 would have felt as cheap as $14.42 to the factory worker back then. That would have seemed incredible for 64MB.

If you have installed WMP9 have a look in device mangager, show hidden devices, go to "sound, video and game controllers".
See something called "Microsoft Kernel DRM Audio Descrambler"?
Thats DRM, you get it with WMP9 wether you want it installed or not. It doesn't do anything unless you are trying to play back a DRM protected track.

8 bits = 256 Combinations
3 bits = 8 Combinations
64s 8s 1s
3 7 7 = 255
You need 3, 8-Stated wires to represent 1 Byte
That can actually produce 512 combinations.
I'd like to know if this is really true.

At least they let the 3rd parties know where the crashes are happening, so they can fix the problems. Windows Error Reporting for Developers
Yay, antimatter.
Or was it the other way around?
Sometimes they do pass on the error reports they collected to the third party driver and application developers.
