That would be if they were using the 10 dot network.
The question was, 'is it strictly necessary to assign private IP addresses?'
If, for example, they decided to use 66.35.250.150 (slashdot.org) for an internal address, it would work fine, but if they had to connect to the Internet they would have to change it. Even if they were using NAT, it's a good idea to change it.
The first reason that comes to mind is logging. I'm sure there are others.
However, if someone decides in a few days/weeks/months/years that they want something to connect to the Internet, then the addresses would have to change.
If you want to use VisitorVille for Windows on up to three personal computers -- office, laptop, home -- then the optional Power User plan is for you. Note that this is not a multi-user option, but rather a way for you to exercise your single-user license on more than one personal computer
Its licenses like this that made me stop upgrading Webtrends as well. (The 'we can audit you at any time' in the webtrends 3.5 license did it for me)
Out here in Queens, NYC, I see 1 or 2 WiFi networks from my living room. (Not including mine). One is secured, the other isn't (it isn't up all the time either).
When I'm in the park across the street I can see several networks.
As Microsoft gets more restrictive and cost prohibitive with their licensing, ReactOS is going to become a great stepping stone from Windows Server to other platforms.
Essentially, it will let a small company focus on their core business without having to spend time and resources to transition to a new platform.
To fork out $800 per server plus CALs can hurt a small business. With a free windows server, they don't have to change their legacy code, yet can still expand their business.
Several companies I work with are frozen at Windows 2000. They couldn't afford to get 'software assurance' and Microsoft has eliminated server upgrade pricing. Combine that with software activation and a more restictive licensing plan in Windows 2003 and ReactOS becomes much more interesting.
What I was trying to say is even though it's mathematically correct, it's not an intuitive numbering scheme for the average joe. Or in this case the average secretary who really won't care if it's a logical formula or not.
(Numbers count down while size increases to A0, then the numbers count up while size increases)
I never understood why some people love to number backwards. Why not x1 - confetti square, x500 - wallpaper? Anything under x1 would be too small to work with anyway.
No, someone thought, hey A4, A3, A2, A1, A0, 1A0, 2A0, that's not annoying or confusing at all.
US Constitution Article II Section 2, Second Paragraph
[The President]shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States, whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by law: but the Congress may by law vest the appointment of such inferior officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the courts of law, or in the heads of departments.
No where in there does it say full vote of the Senate. And since filibuster is permitted under the rules of the Senate, their actions are constitutional.
Just because the Democrats only hold 49% of the Senate does not mean they should not have a strong voice in it. Appointments, like everything else in government, should represent the views of the majority while maintaining the rights of the minority. The fact that some senators are resorting to filibuster usually means the minority isn't getting a fair deal.
Cygwin talks to Win32 which talks to the kernel. Interix talked directly to the kernel without talking to Win32.
Win32 is just a layer on top of the kernel. Microsoft designed the system to allow for multiple APIs to talk directly to the kernel, it allows Windows to be a modular and dynamic system. So far, Win32 is the only one that has ever taken off, with Win16, OS/2 1.0 and Posix as the other available choices.
Now, here's the billion dollar question, how long before.NET is free of Win32 and becomes a native subsystem?
The NT(2000/XP) kernel has had the ability to run other native applications for a while.
It sounds like they are going the same way that Win16/WOW, OS/2 and Posix apps currently get run in Windows. There's no reason not to add Linux to this list.

After careful review of our target audience, we have have begun work on our new bulk Prozac and Lithium banner ad campaign.
That would be if they were using the 10 dot network.

You are right, it's not really necessary.
However, if someone decides in a few days/weeks/months/years that they want something to connect to the Internet, then the addresses would have to change.
Why do the same work twice?
This is a server reporting SERVICE, why the heck is it licensed to one user AND one machine?
Here's your fancy report, don't show anyone, sorry that will cost extra. Oh, and don't run it on your laptop, that will cost extra.
Actually the article from Microsoft says
An Application's Working Set Is Trimmed When Its Top-Level Window Is Minimized
That is a good thing for some programs and not so good for others. Mozilla's working set must be large and not very flexible.
Very good idea, with a stupid convoluted license.
Things like this from their pricing page.

Advocacy? More like wanton puerility.
I think you meant to say, 'you chose to use a proprietary file format (WMA), instead of another proprietary file format (MP3)'
I do remember a company saying they owned the mp3spec and seem to charge a fee to write encoders.
Well, actually I did.

Um, they don't. The idea is to come up with a solution that represents the views of the majority without impeding the rights of the minority.
That is how the US government was designed to work.
You can't refuse to allow the vote to occur simply because you know you will lose
You're missing the reason why filibuster is used.
It's a last resort action, when you know that your 49% will be hurt by the 51%.
Just because you have a majority does not mean you get to intentionally hurt the minority.

I thought the right was granted to congress to approve or disapprove judges nominated by the president.
I must have missed your point. Can you please elaborate?
A very good troll indeed!
I love how you describe open source software and try and make it sound wrong.
I think the M$ gave you away tho, you might want to try harder next time, or just devolve into ranting.
Here, start out with 'M$ is teh suck' or something along those lines.
WTL never really had a product life. Most people who use WTL know that MS never really wanted to promote it.
You are aware that your MSDN license limits you to 10 systems per MSDN license? Licenses are limited to one person and only for development use.
(Office is the exception, allowing you to use one license for day-to-day use)
Interesting concept, but many programs use lots of mutexes, and some don't use them at all.
Imagine running something complex like a database server. Dialog box fun.
The virus writers will just use something else, like a file, if people tracked by mutex.
I thought those $15 certs were for personal email signing only.
I think we are more likely to see the $350 SSL type certs from Verisign.
It's simple really.

It's about time someone thought of doing this.

Not from Vancouver, WA he isn't.
The 'Mac is invincible' mentality just means a well crafted mac virus will do even more damage.
How many Mac owners have AV software that is up to date?
