    Windows DID invent something important:
    The "taskbar" introduced the idea that there would be a thing on the desktop representing a window that stayed there whether or not the window was open. Almost all modern interfaces copy this (OS/X and the new Linux ones) and as far as I can tell MicroSoft invented it. Before that everybody, including MicroSoft, thought of "iconization" where a window was replaced by a small representation, and the small representation disappeared when the window was opened.

    I've been using POV since the days it was the new upstart on the block and all the CompuServer folks were using DKBTrace. :)

    hahaha, I remember the POV v DKB discussions on my local BBS....hahah...I remember when I jumped from Vivid to POV....

    Man I got flamed for that

    I've been using POV on and off ever since..I find it thereputic to go back and knock up a scene every now and then

    BTW: I traced on of my older scenes the other day that took 280Hrs on my 286 16Mhz box and it took 21 Sec (Most of that time was to parse the file).

    Furthermore, how would the checksum-checker verify that the checker itself is not untrusted code without loading it into RAM?

    By checking its own checksum against another checksum checker, that has checked its checksum against an independent checksum checker that checks the overall checksums that the checksum checkers have checked....#SNAP# oh no.. i've gone cross eyed....

    What a lot of people here don't get is that you dont need a kick ass processor to do this kind of control

    Someone who writes the code to run a computer/temp sensors/fans with a system described above, and goes into the field and installs something like this can make some good money. Businesses may be skeptical at first, but when you mention saving electricity, watch their eyes open up.
